Going through 90's promos from my days reviewing for magazines - I just found a Jeff Mills Liquid Room set and I'm glad I'm on my own because there's been some Hungarian politician style desk dancing

I'm fairly gobsmacked by the number of people who profess surprise that Orbán was funding CPAC. Did you know of his ties to Heritage and Project 2025? One of the most telling, tho, was he funded Rufo and the racist Trump tried to install at State, Jeremy Carl. www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

So many of the old British punks (from Lydon on down) ended up as Brexiteers. There’s a GenX cynicism that - paradoxically - leads a lot of us to become marks for vice signalers

Shall we be dragged by him to the bottom of the sea? Shall we be towed by him to the infernal world?

Joke’s on you if you sincerely thought Trump was a Christian.

A lot of 60ish former ravers out there now. Expect more of this

The antisemites hate the Christian zionists. America first hate foreign wars. Trump’s alienating the Catholics by beefing with the woke Marxist pope. Now the golden calf blasphemy is pissing off all the other Christians. Who’s left? Crypto bros, UFC fans and Kid Rock ? That’s not a majority

The NYU contract faculty union spent 15 months negotiating our contract with the university, culminating in a week of intensive all day talks and a final 30 hour bargaining session. Vance left Pakistan after less than a day.

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.

I hope more people focus on the import of this turnout last year. Not least bc standing up to bigotry can itself be a rallying cry.

Magyar calls on the figurehead head of state Tamás Sulyok, as well as all high justice officials and other high officials appointed by Fidesz to resign immediately or they will be removed by the new government. He also announces a constitutional reform and that Hungary is joining EPPO.

went to check out the techno rave outside Parliament and I don't think I have the data allowance to share a video from it but let me tell you: there sure is a techno rave outside Parliament right now, celebrating Orban getting ousted

You’re not blocking the strait, *I’m* blocking the strait. Checkmate mullahs.

Chances are Vance asked them why they hadn’t said thank you

Whil we’re waiting to see what happens in the Hungarian election, here’s something I wrote in 2013 about Orbán attacking cultural dissenters and handing control of arts institutions to loyalists. Remarkable how much of this has now been replicated in the US www.newyorker.com/books/page-t...

Depressing but hugely informative thread detailing how Orbán built his "illiberal democracy" in Hungary (and how hard it will be to dismantle it)

Why is Eric Adams Albanian? I googled extradition and they have a treaty so it’s not that

87 killed and more than 700 wounded in the initial toll of today's Israeli attacks (Source: Al Jazeera)

It is hard to capture what a sweeping strategic defeat the war in Iran has been for the United States. I’m going to thread here some of the posts today that try to capture those effects. Here’s the first:

The American University of Beirut Medical Center, the main hospital in the area, is asking for blood donations of all blood types. The hospital is in emergency mode. Friends whose relatives are doctors there say they are all overwhelmed with patients

Israel has used 50 warplanes to bomb Lebanon in the past few hours alone. This figure comes from the IDF itself

Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a “code disaster.” Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house. Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur. The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic

This is real

And while Congress can’t invoke the 25th Amendment, they could at least reconvene from spring break & demand their War Powers back, rather than be complicit as well. (2/2)

If posting with barbaric fervor about launching a genocide doesn’t warrant removal from office, then what would? This moment demands invoking the 25th Amendment. If Vance and the Cabinet want any redemption from history, this is their chance. (1/2)

I called my representatives and told them that when historians look back on this time, they will also look at what the opposition party did in response to Trump's madness, which is why it's important to introduce impeachment articles NOW and talk about them nonstop until tonight's deadline. 1/2

This is insane.

Among the interesting details in this story about Hungary’s backing for the Christofascist International: Matt Goodwin was taking £10k a month while trying to get elected as an MP, and there’s now a Hungarian chain of cafés called Scruton open.substack.com/pub/democrac...

People are asking

The fact that there is even a chance of this being true is an indictment of the entire American ruling class. If Trump uses a nuclear weapon it will be a historical stain from which the US will not (and *should not*) recover.

Amazing how the US media is going all in on the rescued pilot (smart CIA deception campaign! Brave rescue!) as a distraction from the utter disaster of the war.

Looks like Orban’s Russia-backed false flag operation could be underway to lead to the cancelling of the Hungarian elections. Predicted recently. Serbian president Aleksandar Vučić has informed Orban of “explosives of devastating power” found at the gas pipeline connecting the two countries. 1/2

The Iranian Ai lego propaganda video (a phrase that would have been incomprehensible 5 years ago) about Pete Hegseth really goes hard.

All but three (!) of the 1,651 refugees admitted into the United States in the three most recent months we have data are white South Africans. For comparison, in 2024, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees. It's an explicit white supremacist project. www.rpc.state.gov/documents/Re...
