Welp, now seems a good a time as any to unequivocally state that I am an anti-fascist and that I oppose any form of authoritarianism from the right, left, or center.
We cannot allow supposed threats of being labeled as terrorists cow us into silence!

💥So it seems Viktor Orbán and his government have been lying for a week about their White House deal with Donald Trump — Marco Rubio now personally confirms Hungary only got a one-year exemption from US sanctions on Russian oil and gas, not the “indefinite” one Orbán claimed.

On November 11, 1887, four anarchists were hanged, after being found guilty of murder of a cop in Chicago's Haymarket Square, though the prosecutor admitted that they were actually tried for being anarchists.

An excellent long read from Spilne outlining the history of homophobia in the Russian Empire/USSR and why Putin uses it in his propaganda today.

Walmart has a habit of not vetting products submitted by individual vendors very well. Please give this a search and report them down, they're still up.

Our natural instinct is to help each other!
Structures of capitalism, colonialism, white supremacy, patriarchy, etc. have to exert tremendous effort to try & obliterate that instinct & isolate us from one another.

Unfortunately, the Democrats will take more from the victories of centrists A. Spanberger and M. Sherrill than they will Mamdani.
Therefore, we can expect more centrist positions from the Democrats in the 2026 midterms.

This whole frozen funds debate is also reinforcing your argument that Western Euros are suicidally unserious. "My banking sector relies on letting the fascists that want to kill us all park their money here" is pure insanity made into policy.
