… and then Harry Kane gets an arrow in the eye? (Kidding, kidding - I might be cheering for France, but I’d be fine if anyone but Argentina won. I just want them all to have a good time and do shirtless hugs)
Threads post from hadtobegoo shows an image of Norway and England about to face off in the World Cup quarterfinals with the text “Oh shit, Norway is coming to finish what they failed to complete in 1066!” A reply from dodobird reads “They’ll lose. Then England will rush south to lose to France. It’s written on a tapestry.”

People will be closely studying how Hungary's opposition pulled off their win in such a pro-incumbent system. Important to note that the theme was corruption. Democrats need to get much better at calling out Trump's corruption.

Orban consolidated power by making the electoral system less proportional and gerrymandering districts of very unequal sizes. That gave Orban supermajorities when the opposition was divided and less popular—but it turned an opposition landslide into a supermajority that can now dismantle the regime

Trump says Venezuela stole U.S. oil, land and assets. But U.S. companies never owned oil or land in Venezuela and officials didn’t kick them out of the country. Here's the real history of oil and Venezuela: www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

Trump says Venezuela stole U.S. oil, land and assets. Here’s the history.
The government of the oil-rich nation took control of its petroleum industry in 1976, nationalizing hundreds of private businesses and foreign-owned assets.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Hi, I worked at USAID. 👋 Airdrops are universally acknowledged as probably the worst and least efficient way to get aid to people. You airdrop when you a) want to want to so something but can’t, or b) you don’t want to do anything but want to look like you are.
