We used to balance free markets with rules that kept wealth & power from concentrating at the top. As those guardrails weakened, a handful of people & corporations gained outsized influence, leaving the rest of us broke, stressed, & democracy itself under pressure. #Pinks #Neoliberalism

Obeying the court’s order to pause the insurrectionist slush fund is the law, and it’s not enough. Congress needs to permanently block it and rescind the self-pardon Trump gave himself, his family, and his business associates for tax crimes.

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.
A series of posts from journalist Mark Chadbourn reporting on the acceptance speech of Péter Magyar after Hungarian elections:

Péter Magyar: "Our country wants to live again. It wants to be a European country again."

Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 24m
Magyar's speech is powered. From a contact in the audience: "He's basically just asked all the puppets, all the supreme justices, all the heads of media, all the heads of the ministries to leave their jobs tomorrow and not wait to be fired."

Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 22m
He's announced that Hungary will join the European Prosecution Office so anyone in the country can be charged.

Magyar: "No mercy, they will need to take responsibility for all their actions."

...

Magyar says he's starting work with the EU and NATO immediately.
"The EU doesn't have to worry anymore."
