A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual
PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

It should be the shame of the world's governments that a civilian ship is rescuing Sudanese migrants (from other governments who might kill or jail or displace them) and attempting to break a genocidal blockade while they just sit and watch and send money and weapons for more genocide.
The Gaza flotilla has rescued four Sudanese migrants attempting to evade the Libyan coast guard. Remarkable.
