Confirmed with 98% reporting: Tisza still has 138 of the 199 seats, a bunch more than the supermajority it needs to amend the constitution.

more seriously congrats to the hungarian people for kicking that asshole out

Hungary defeated fascists at the ballot box, but we still punching Nazis!

"Being a Humanist means trying to behave decently without expectation of rewards or punishment after you are dead." -- Kurt Vonnegut, who died #OTD 2007

The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.

With 90% reporting, Tisza is leading by 16 percentage points and projected to win 138 of 199 seats — above the 2/3rds majority. Crushing defeat for Orban.

The Hungarian people wisely refused to listen to these grifting scumbags.

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

Wow, J.D. really vanced the hell out of the Hungarian presidential election

Famous for his role as Dracula, Hungarian actor Bela Lugosi was a strong antifascist. vocal.media/theSwamp/ant...

Less than three hours after the polls closed, Viktor Orban conceded that he lost. Five years after Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, he still falsely claims that he won. Tomorrow, I offer my analysis of what this means for the midterms. Subscribe now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

😬

It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...

Just one of 1,000,000 reasons to care bsky.app/profile/tani...

Did Hungary just defeat fascism at the ballot box?

With 45% of ballots now counted, the opposition (Tisza) is leading 52% to 39%, and is projected based on current results to win a supermajority of 2/3rds that’d allow them to amend the constitution.

JUST IN: Viktor Orban conceded his defeat in Hungary. The far-right leader & Trump ally will no longer be prime minister. What remains to be seen is the size of his defeat — and whether the opposition wins a supermajority to amend the constitution and reverse Orban’s rule.

I hate that saying “if you know you know” because no I don’t know

Y’all KNEW this ma wasn’t going to do anything he said he would and was going to do all the things he said he wouldn’t And Y’ALL chose him anyway because he was a “man” and White. He may go- but his roots won’t until Y’ALL admit the “cognitive dissonance” excuse is just that. And excuse. And 💩

We can’t have shit fr

My most Luddite opinion is restaurants should always have physical menus.

Trump promised he'd bring down prices "immediately ... on Day 1." But 15 months in, the annual inflation rate is 3.3%, highest in 2 years. Remember that he also promised he would not be a dictator "except for Day 1." That was a lie, too.

It’s a good question, let’s clear the air: 1) Disco is awesome, like 25 all-time classic tracks in a 4 year span, 2) Disco was hated because it was queer, brown, and black, 3) Disco was hated because it paired women and men in a different power dynamic. 4) “Disco Sucks” was a “ MAGA” test run.

For the record; Melania did not meet HER husband in 1998… she met Marla’s husband.

Wes Moore needs to be on everyone’s shortlist, should he throw his hat in the ring for 2028. “Any of these people who are thinking about 2028, I need to see that you’re taking 2026 seriously… What are you doing right now to protect, to heal, and to build?” “I’m hungry, but I’m not thirsty.” 🔥

Very relatable to the average American, who has six boat loans

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has signed a decree establishing Universal Healthcare for all Mexican citizens. The United States could’ve had this, but people chose economic collapse, cruelty and death instead. I’ll never regret voting for Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris.

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

watching NASA hit a very specific target in the big big ocean with a vehicle that just came back from outer space at 25,000mph definitely has me reflecting on the charter bus company that couldn't get me to a bus station

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

I've never listened to Rogan's show - I've only caught snippets on TV. It's hard to believe anyone GAF what he thinks. He's truly a 'low IQ individual.' #ManosphereClownShow

Mainstream liberal media members are all on social media platforms. They see and understand the rift between Black people and leftist white supremacists but pretend like it isn’t happening and proceed to boost said leftist white supremacists. Not clicking on none of your articles or substacks

Notice the fertility rates are dropping after Roe V Wade wxs overturned and all the abortion bans ticked up.

Those US-Iran negotiations in a nutshell: Iran sent 4 PhDs to Islamabad. The US sent a real estate developer, a son-in-law, a lawyer and a general.

So this whole thread, but also given how victims are treated when they come forward, I don't understand the cycle of "Why didn't she tell?" & "Why didn't reporters tell without consent or a witness?" We all know the routine of victim blaming & denial that happens around powerful predators right?

Your tax dollars endorsing and supporting a mafia state government. This is what we get with a felon in the White House.

All this time Governor Good Hair did nothing to mentor a viable successor? I see people saying VP Harris should've run, but are silent about the sitting Governor not having a viable successor or a decent list of candidates waiting in the wings. He sent snarky tweets tho, so it's whatever I guess.

I need Rueben Gallego to unendorsed Platner the same way he rightfully unendorsed Swallwell. They're two sides of the same coin. #Swallwell

So...Netanyahu approached 3 other US Presidents to attack Iran and they all said no.

HOUSTON (AP) — Artemis II’s astronauts return to Earth, ending a record-breaking trip around the moon with a splashdown in the Pacific.

Let it be known that Katherine Johnson was the reason for the first astronauts in space. And now Vanessa Wyche, head of the Johnson Space Center and NASA's highest ranking civil servant, is the responsible for the longest manned space flight in history

Putin has strengthened NATO, while Trump has weakened it

Is it any wonder? I have always been a huge fan of Dolly Parton. We're the same age, same height, share the same values, but she can sing better. And she has more Grammys. I've always wanted to meet her!

Seems like they all know they are commiting crimes?
