Peter Krékó, quoted here, has been doing great work.
Since 2011 or so, Hungary has been what is known as a “hybrid regime”—not a totalitarian dictatorship, but not a real democracy, either. Is the same thing happening in the U.S.?

What a beautiful and touching story...and a refreshing break from the daily barrage of negative news coming out of the WH.
Black people make history in this country every day. Through loud protests and massive marches….But more often than not, Black history is made more quietly, by acts like wearing your late father’s shirt to work. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Never in our history has the US voted w/ Dictatorships at the expense of our Democratic allies—that is until today. Trump has not only just ruined US credibility as a global leader, but set back the global fight for democratic values and peace.
The United States joined Russia to vote against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russia's war against Ukraine in a stunning shift from years of US policy.

Please. No more speeches in the Senate about “freedom” until one Republican has the guts to stand up to Trump’s lies about Ukraine & Putin. Ukraine did not start this horrific war. Russia did. Zelensky isn't a dictator. Putin is. The US must not enter into an alliance with Putin.
