I saw on social media some Catholics want and support a Catholic theocracy. That is like Iran, we need to unite in our divided society and achieve social justice. It is scary.

The Right really is in disarray because they cannot seem to figure out if they should push “Zohran Mamdani is going to bring Sharia Law” or “Zohran Mamdani treats his wife with too much equality” as a smear campaign, so they are doing both.

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

Abother totally meaningless use of the term "populist"... Orban is a far-right authoritarian, it's not complicated to use proper words that don't weirdly minimize and obfuscate the reality (and ironically enough legitimizes the one you're criticizing)

I shed no tears for IRGC criminals like Hossein Salami, but direct war on Iran is an insane escalation (that will make Israel’s people less safe). There is no logic of self-defence left, just the logic of power (Netanyahu’s unpopular government’s survival) and war’s own dehumanising internal logic.

The excuse is to “curb migration” but the real reason, clear to anyone cynical enough to be even slightly distrustful of State motivations, is entirely obvious — the police and security services want them, to enable the harassment of people who don’t fit. freedomnews.org.uk/2025/06/22/i...
