Ph.D. Liberal. Pro-democracy and human rights. Freedom without accountability is freeDUMB and an excuse for abuse. Strong social support systems and a sense of community promote equity and are guardrails to fascism. Living in 🇨🇦 capitol.

Orban made grand appeals to “Christianity” and “Western Civilization,” but his “illiberal democracy” was just a scam, a way to make him and his buddies rich while subjecting Hungarians to stagnation and robbing them of their freedom. Sound familiar? (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Orbán rode to power on resentment over the economic stagnation that developed under center-left governments. But he leaves office with Hungarians facing falling wages and higher inflation than similar countries are experiencing. Orbán’s sectarianism and intolerance have sparked neither a religious revival nor a fertility bump; Hungary’s population is shrinking and has become more irreligious, even as Orbán has demonized LGBTQ people, “Muslim invaders,” and Jews. Orbánism, in short, did not make Hungarians more rich, Christian, or free—unless you happened to be one of Orbán’s buddies, in which case you may have gotten rich. As most Hungarians felt their economic circumstances worsen, Orbán provided them with relatively powerless targets to hate.

People are awake, and there is no going back. U.S. weapons are being used by the Israeli government to bomb south Lebanon, displace families in the West Bank, and continue the assault on Gaza. And still, our government wants to send more. FUND PEOPLE, NOT BOMBS.

A decisive shift in global power. Experts confirm Iran's IRGC completely dictates the flow of international shipping from Larak Island. They enforce strict no-move zones, leaving the Trump administration powerless to protect Western tankers. Total strategic defeat. So much winning 🤬🍊🐔💩

A worker died in a Amazon warehouse in Oregon. For more than an hour the workers in the facility were ordered to continue working as the man lay dead. One worker tried to help, but a manager told him “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work.“ EVIL.

The real question is whether this new leader becomes another Orban or actually leads the country towards democracy, justice/the rule of law, etc. And holds the corrupt accountable. His electoral supermajority allows him to do either. Let’s hope he does the right thing for the people.

It’s everyone. Voter apathy (huge chunks not voting, a lack of critical thought, and consideration of little more than just one’s immediate concerns, to name but a few factors).

It’s both. Sadly. And they feed each other. The narcissistic fallacy of 🇺🇸 supremacy has been a toxic element from almost its beginning. And I would not consider myself anti-US but, at least, historically, I considered it a friendly, if somewhat overbearing, neighbour.

Trump ended the IRS Direct File program that allowed millions of taxpayers to file taxes for free. That happened after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government to block the IRS from launching its own program. Intuit also donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. See how this works?

Trump told us who he was in 2012. Will we finally believe him today?
Trump has always been an election denier. He has always vilified voting. He has always started with lies, escalated to the courts, and ultimately embraced violent rhetoric.
