Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride.

You know who else was an Open Borders guy? Jesus.
According to the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus's family escaped Herod's purported infant killing spree by crossing the border to Egypt.
I guess he's "gross" to Laura Loomer too.

Americans - listen up!
At the Bylines Network in the UK, we've taken on a new project to amplify (non-MAGA!) American voices at a time when there's so much damage to people's lives that the US media can't or won't keep up.
But we do citizen journalism - we're collecting the stories. Take a look. 👇

It’s extraordinary that so much media still reports on Trump with the old, redundant tools of the trade. He lied about Ukraine, then he tried to extort Ukraine, and having failed he threatens to walk away from Ukraine. The idea that he was ever going to do anything unwelcome to Putin is ridiculous.

Starmer's speech is strong on diagnosis. Weak on prescription. Because Britain just isn't economically powerful enough on its own to offer one.

It was extraordinary. There is, for example, no earthly reason why a little-known radio presenter on a commercial station should have become a national rallying point for Brexit reality simply by telling the obvious truth. (He did have to step down from occasionally presenting Newsnight, though.)
