Convo with my friend from Hungary tonight who left after Orban’s election.
She said “your head will spin with all the wild stuff they try to pull, new things every day, but don’t take your eyes off the money. It’s all about the money, and what they’re stealing, and for whom.”
She said “your head will spin with all the wild stuff they try to pull, new things every day, but don’t take your eyes off the money. It’s all about the money, and what they’re stealing, and for whom.”
I’ve been trying to keep this post in the forefront of my mind whenever they pull wild stuff. It helps keep me focused. Writing more postcards today.

Since Oct 7th 2023 only one Congressperson has been censured in Congress for their rhetoric and it was literally the only Palestinian in either chamber. Meanwhile dozens of Republicans trot out each day and say Hitler-level things about Muslims like Ilhan Omar and absolutely nothing is done.
