Hungary’s new government also passed this constitutional amendment to “remove Constitutional Court judges who are over the age of 70.”

Remember back in May, when Hungarian results were coming in, we were watching if the opposition to Prime Minister Viktor Orban would manage to win a supermajority? They did, & they just used it to pass a constitutional amendment to also remove the president from office. www.bbc.com/news/article...

@chrispappasnh.bsky.social joined MAGA Republicans to vote for the Laken Riley Act, empowering ICE to terrorize our communities. Now he acts devastated as those same policies are carried out. Pappas: these killings are the consequence of your vote. Have the courage to own it.

Maybe they should just practice locking the door and turning off the lights and remaining silent while hiding under their desks…or is that just appropriate for kindergartners? 

Imagine a country being so bigoted that nobody can safely eat lettuce

I want to reiterate the luminosity that the giant stupid space mirror will create here on Earth is *dimmer than a candle held at arms length.* That's a) actually going to be incredibly disruptive at night for humans with our logarithmic optical sensors, and b) completely useless on solar panels.

If it’s high summer and Americans aren’t eating uncooked produce would you call that a nationwide food supply crisis?

Gas costs spike to $90 a megawatt-hour in 2026! That’s up from $78 a year earlier and the highest since 2009, the earliest year in the data, when the cost was $83. Expensive and dirty! www.bloomberg.com/news/article... #energysky

Anyway I know this is lib shit and idealistic and probably many think it’s naive but it’s genuinely what I believe and the fact that I believe it is why I orient on the left and I feel alienated by a left oriented even in part by harming the correct people.

People who otherwise would write encomiums against means testing and in favor of universality will turn around and be like “if those kids wanted treatment for diseases they should have been born in a different place.”

There’s this feeling not that “rural areas are inefficient and we need to prioritize efficiency,” but that “a dollar spent in a rural area is a dollar stolen from ME and HOW DARE THEY” and it sounds an awful lot like the flip side of right wing resentment of urban spaces, affectively.
