Viktor Orban has called Peter Magyar and congratulated him on his victory, and has given a concession speech. That's right. Even Orban understands and respects the basic tenets of democracy better than Trump.

Hungary has chosen Europe. Europe has always chosen Hungary. A country reclaims its European path. The Union grows stronger.

"After delivering his speech, Orbán kind of shrugs his arms to someone in the front row as if saying “what else was I supposed to do.” He looks defeated." At 20.37.

💥🇭🇺🗳️ WOW! 54.14% turnout by 1pm in Hungary’s historic election (vs 40.01% in 2022), where voters could end Viktor Orbán’s 16-year rule. Massive participation, in line with independent pollsters’ predictions – who also predicted a massive opposition win. Polls close at 7pm.

I really hope that Hungary can rid itself of Orbán today. That said, question from someone from Germany who is only following this on the side: on an absolute scale (not compared to Orbán), how trustable/good/bad do you find Magyar, with his Fidesz background and all?

In 1986, Freddie Mercury sang “Tavaszi szél” in Budapest, uniting Hungary in a moment of joy and hope. Today, that song is the anthem of the opposition Tisza Party — a symbol of renewal. Hungary’s future must be chosen with courage, proudly with the EU 🇪🇺, not in Russia’s shadow. 🇭🇺🎤

The Trump regime and the Netanyahu regime are so comically untrustworthy and disinterested in their own past promises and assurances and contracts that it's madness to deal with them. Ever. *Ever*. They're rabid dogs, and anything one does that doesn't acknowledge this is folly.

Stop calling him a master strategist. He may have wrecked his economy, failed to change a regime and had to make a massive "goodwill gesture", but he has NOT taken 1.3 million casualties doing it. 😤

Det er verdt å merke seg at Trumps stadig mer hysteriske trusler om krigsforbrytelser og folkemord møtes med taushet av de "moderate" republikanerne som liksom skulle sikre NATO-samarbeidet. Kritikken fra høyre kommer nesten utelukkende fra de galeste i MAGA-bevegelsen.

I've taught European history for thirty years. Americans have always asked me how the Holocaust was possible, how Germans could have enabled a madman reveling in mass murder to carry out his plans. Now we can see in real time how this is enabled; now we Americans have front-row seats.

Trump just posted this without context, this could mean anything from a rambling press conference to nukes being dropped on Tehran at this point.

trump btw for everyone in world would never write the word "fuckin" we all know that so stop posting like its him IT ISNT

Europeans might ask themselves this question. If Trump does not care about Putin helping the Iranians to kill Americans, do you think he will care at all about Putin trying to kill Europeans?

It hurts to realize that at such a young age, Ukrainian children already know what wаr is. They don’t just hear this word, they live in it. They know what a “Shahed” is, they know it’s dangerous. They know that in our sky there are not only birds, but dеаdІу russіаns drоnes.

Since the start of the day, Russians struck Kharkiv 11 times‼️ Most of the drones used were jet‑powered, and this is the first time the enemy deployed them against our city. 11 times guys! it's only 16:15. And we are all out and working, with no possibility to hide.

People need to understand that it is a good thing if Trump threatens to leave NATO and says the US will not fight for Europe. The truth was the alliance was dead the moment he became president again. The US under him would never fight to defend Europe from Russia. Pretending otherwise was dangerous.

💔 In the hospital, 6‑year‑old Yevheniya Serhiyenko has died. Her older sister shielded her with her own body during a russian shelling. Twenty‑year‑old Dasha was killed instantly at the site of the strike, while little Zhenya was rushed to the hospital… but today she passed. Russia kills children.

Utenriksminister Barth Eide lyver. Han er derfor uskikket til jobben, og bør trekke seg. #Norge har ikke råd til inkompetanse i sentrale stillinger i den 'krisen' som landet vårt nå står i. Eller krig, som det også heter. Mitt siste SKRÅBLIKK her👇 #Ukraina #Norway @dagsavisen.bsky.social

If a US island operation does take place then the devastation unleashed on Iranian coastal communities by full use of American military power without a facade of humanitarian concern will make a lot of current snark about what Trump is willing and able to do look premature to downright inappropriate

What Trump giveth, Ukraine taketh away….

The true test to tell the good Russians from the rest is asking if they believe Ukraine should be allowed to strike Russian territory. Boris Akunin, the Russian writer, passed it with flying colors. 📹 Katerina Gordeeva

I'm seeing a lot of these fake Donald Trump truths being posted on BlueSky (and lesser sites) at the moment. Its pretty easy to check, and you owe it to yourself and other people before sharing it.

Watching Trump teeter on the edge of blowing up the world economy because of a combination of hubris, strategic incoherence, mendacity and outright stupidity, might be the most extraordinarily depressing thing I have observed in my entire life, or read about in any other period.

I’m living in a city of ghosts. It's filled with the ruins of buildings that used to be places I loved, ruins of buildings where our people's lives were cut short by the whim of evil minds from far away. ​

Fiona Hill, former White House advisor on Russia: "Pandering to Putin, trying to bribe Putin, trying to flatter Putin, trying to incentivize Putin, you know, with promises of all kinds of economic largesse – that is just not going to work." We know exactly who she's addressing.

I love this courageous and good person

The other day got cold and immediately it flash backed me into how cold it was this winter the coldest winter ever of my life and as it it was again the freezing -20 outside blackout almost no heating cold everywhere you go Before it I didn’t know you can be traumatised by cold. Now I do

Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Parolin has spoken out on the conflict in Iran:

I am worried that this is both presented and enjoyed by too many as some sort of a … reality show. People are literally dying. The war is expanding without the objectives being clearly defined. We can pretend that military capabilities are limitless… on tv shows they certainly are.

who made this

This Kenyan man thought he was traveling to Russia to join a basketball team. Instead, he was forced to join the Russian military and fight Russia’s war in Ukraine.

🇩🇪🇺🇸 Pistorius: "Unfortunately, the American president influenced the course of the war and Putin's self-confidence when he rolled out the red carpet for him and welcomed him as a friend in Alaska, while completely cutting off military support for Ukraine."

Based on Bondi's previous statement about the release taking down the whole world, I believe she's suggesting that the stock market will crash and we'll all lose everything if she releases the files. That's fine with me. I'm willing to lose everything I have if the elites will have to do the same.

Terje Rød-Larsen på melding til Epstein: "Hi, the guy Steve saw is Asle Toje. He wants to set up a meeting with the deputy head of Fremskrittspartiet, Sylvi Listhaug and Steve. She is probably the next Chair of the party, and very likeminded with Steve. They can meet anywhere in Europe." Kilde 🧵

I am not crying💙🥹

Unfortunately, the news of people dying of carbon monoxide poisoning or the explosion of gas tanks isn't rare these days. People were desperate to survive the subzero temperatures. Make no mistake. They didn't die of an accident. Damn terrorussia killed them.

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice." Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

Omg you guys the light returned ❤️‍🩹 light’s back to my part of Kyiv ✨ happy happy happy

If you don't admit that the Trumpian Board of Peace is likely a vehicle to corruptly funnel funds between dictators, authoritarians and their wannabes, you are wilfully refusing to understand the era we are living through. Its all about who controls the money and where it goes.
