Happy 1 week of Orbán's defeat to all those who celebrate

This is basically why, after evaluating it with my security background I basically declined to have any passkeys for my own use.

Regarding petrol subsidies - I think they are illegal in EU if they are market-distorting measures like they are implemented in several countries and do not also subsidize electric car charging at the same time.

The Karin Kneissl model.

It has been a long time since I felt good about being Hungarian.

Magyar is now comparing today to 1848, 1956. Does feel like a historical moment.

Europa heute Abend

I spent 16, SIXTEEN years fighting this crap. I can’t believe it 😭

It is really hard to overstate the magnitude of the victory of the opposition in Hungary. Comfortably above supermajority with around 70% of projected parliamentary seats. (140-141 out of 199 expected).

I’m so out of practice with receiving unalloyed good news that I don’t know how to react. But this is indisputably good news for Europe and the world. 🇪🇺🇭🇺

Ma este Európa szíve erősebben dobog Magyarországon. Europe’s heart is beating stronger in Hungary tonight.

Mainlining Orban's concession speech and the dour faces of Fidesz functionaries into my veins rn.

Oh my god it's really happening. This is beautiful.

Viktor Orbán has congratulated Péter Magyar! #Hungary

I am begging you, if you haven't followed Hungarian political discourse in Hungarian over the last few weeks/months, perhaps hold back on your wild theories about what will happen in Hungary after the elections and whether Orbán will accept the results. My god.

🤔What if the greatest president in US history is a woman that will get elected in the 2040s? And she reverses climate change, ends world hunger, and leads the multinational effort that saves us from The Comet(tm)? But she never exists? Because she dropped out of politics? Because of harassment?

I voted in the hungarian elections.

So when you're transitioning it's ok but when others do it you don't like it

Kind of the mood of everything these days.

Jeder Dritte in Österreich lenkt nie oder selten ein Auto, in Wien zwei Drittel und bei den 16- bis 19-Jährigen fast 70 Prozent. Mehr Bahn, Bus und Rad-Infrastruktur erhöhen Freiheit in der Mobilität, reduzieren Autoabhängigkeit. #Verkehrswende

This should be replicated in Norway. Actually: in every single European country.

This is what you do with coup plotters and corrupt leaders

The former leader was found guilty of leading an insurrection in late 2024 that attempted to subvert the constitution and plunged the country into its worst political crisis in decades. ft.trib.al/KKGYgyb

Rubio’s speech vs the media reporting on it. Wtf am I reading in several media reports about reassurance re nato, that wasn’t what he said in the speech

Look, Matt Gaetz should never have even been considered for attorney general, but you have to admit it would be hilarious to have him running point on the Epstein Files Cover-Up.

Counterpoint: we rely on elected officials in democratic countries to speak up in clear terms not send up opaque smoke signals. Goes doubly so for people in natsec oversight roles. This smells too much like “oh the sanctity of senate norms must be respected”

One of the tests for any change in the hungarian system would be politically motivated verdicts like this. If Orban loses elections in april I’m watching whether this gets fixed by the system that follows

Österreichs Inflation bei 2 Prozent: Vatikan prüft Wunder dietagespresse.com/oesterreichs...

Add the FIFA president to the sanctions list

Austria is really annoying right now with the debate around the compulsory military service. No changes around that are worth anything while Austria still pretends that “we’re neutral”. No, we’re not. Any conceivable threat to AT comes to AT through an attack on fellow EU countries.

Why are these murderers being admitted to our continent?

[stares directly into the camera]

Call the piece of legislation that ultimately abolishes ICE the Pretti-Good Act

Yes, all of these MAGA and Dem points are easily debunkable. That's not the point. The point is that many of the people saying them have convinced themselves that they are good people making good choices, and are not enabling the authoritarians causing unnecessary suffering to millions of people.

Time for european governments to talk about the human rights atrocities committed by the US federal government.

The US granted visas to Jews but only allowed 30,000 in from Germany a year. You had to wait for your number to come up. Meet Robert Smallbones. An unassuming British diplomat who 'hacked' this system so effectively (saving 48 THOUSAND Jews) the UK government kept his scheme secret for decades /1 🧵

Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

You know it isn’t an electrical problem with the plane otherwise he would have pulled a Lech Kaczyński who very famously caused his own death by overruling pilots

The US, together with other NATO countries couldn’t hold and establish Afghanistan as a friendly, stable country after 20 years of effort. Good luck trying to push around Europe - a same class superpower - to let you outright conquer a frozen arctic territory.

And this is what Europe instinctively gets now that the US doesn’t: the US has a president matching the country’s dysfunction, it is not the president who creates the dysfunction the world sees.

It’s nice to joke about CDG but his way might have ended up with the soviet invasion of western europe

I haven’t seen Europe this united, including during the start of the russian invasion of Ukraine. Every politician basically said a variant of “try it fucko” in slightly different variations

CDG was catastrophically wrong in 20th century. Transatlanticism is catastrophically wrong in 21st

Make it a hundred and see if we care, fucknugget

Trump and other warmongers in the US have this weird assumption that in the event Greenland gets attacked hostilities would only take place in Greenland. Danes and allied countries would be well within their rights to demolish The West Wing with a mid-sized explosive.

I would watch a movie about this.

The US attempting to invade Greenland would be a war they would promptly lose. Not just because Greenland is not a territory they can hold, but also because the Danes might just do a decapitation strike on The West Wing. Fucking nazi bullies
