Orban has officially conceded to his ‘painful’ defeat, ending his 16 year rule. The effects of this massive loss will not only be felt in Hungary, but also across Europe and in the US, where Trump has just lost one of his most important ideological allies.

This infuriating attitude shows up on the bookshelves in learning environments, too. We expect girls to empathize with boys, but we kneecap every opportunity to let boys empathize with girls. And look where we are.

As a Christian, I don't think federal agencies should be referring to "Christ, our Savior" in any context. I don't need my government to validate my faith. That's why it's called faith. More importantly, my government shouldn't be invalidating the religions of other Americans.

I always forget that a huge part of public protests is that you get to be and feel in community with each other, and, boy, does fascism hate when we’re in community with each other.

Not even a week after Disney declared they shouldn’t be making films that are “therapy” or are “too diverse.” K-Pop Demon Hunters won the Oscar for best Animated Feature. A film about Korean Pop stars learning to come to terms with their true selves in order to bring peace to the world.

Very late to the game, but I watched K-Pop Demon Hunters for the 1st time recently & I get the love now. The songs are all 🔥, the story is heart-warming, the Korean cultural representation is authentic, & the animation is incredible!👹🎆 I've seen the movie 5x now w/ the soundtrack on repeat daily. 🎤🎶

An animated piece of artwork depicting the 3 main characters of K-Pop Demon Hunters standing on a rooftop stage with their black leather battle gear and magical weapons drawn. A city scape stands behind them with a glowing screen reading HUNTR/X world tour and each of them presented in stylish poses looking at the camera. Below the stage a cluster of Korean-style demons can be seen huddling underneath, trapped beneath the magical Honmoon seal from the movie. The text for the movie "K-Pop Demon Hunters" is placed over the demons in a mix of white and pink.

Maybe reputable news agencies shouldn't report Trump's assertions about international developments as fact until they are independently confirmed by other parties.

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

Courage is not acting without fear. It is to be afraid, and act anyway. I will be protesting for No Kings Day this Saturday June 14th. Despite the deep fear I feel in my bones, despite the anger I feel at watching my fellow citizens and human beings have their rights stripped away. Show courage.🤟

Pope Francis nearly single handedly revolutionized the Catholic Church. His generosity & forward-thinking showed the potential that church leaders can provide. We need more leaders like Pope Francis, be they religious or otherwise. May his soul rest in peace & the church appoint a worthy successor🙏🏽

Surrounded by the bright green aspens on a warm afternoon, a man wearing a blue shirt and blue baseball cap smiles towards the camera as a black lab comes running towards him along a forest walking trail.

A happy and visually tired black lab stands in a big puddle on a warm bright summer day. She looks towards the camera, panting.

A visually graying black lab lays in the sand panting and looking towards the camera. It's clearly been a long hike so far.

A man in a black hoodie and bright purplish-blue aviator shades faces the camera smiling and giving a peacesign. A hiking trail leads up behind him to an old black lab who faces the camera from twenty or more feet away. Neither of them knew it, but this would be the last hike they would take together.

Today, I visited the Windsor Plantation ruins in Claiborne County, Mississippi. Built by enslaved hands, they are a reminder of the dark past of the United States & a warning not to repeat it. They are as massive & beautiful as they are tragic. (1/2)

A picture of many tall stone & brick pillars on an otherwise green grassy plot of land. They have all been worn with age. The tallest pillars, tower up to 45 feet. Several of them are shorter, with a few only half their height. All of them show signs of charring and age since they are over 170 years old. A forest and sunset sky makeup the backdrop behind the ruins.

Multiple portions of stone & brick pillars lie scattered across the forest floor. They are overgrown with moss and plants, showing their age & reminding us of the past.

A car sits parked in front of the ruins of the Windsor mansion. A row of partially charred and worn stone and brick pillars stand tall in the background. These 45-foot tall pillars Dwarf the car for scale. Showing their might & the amount of work put in by the enslaved hands who were forced to build them.

A forest trail opens up with a set of 23 massive pillars in the distance beyond. The pillars stand tall, although slowly decaying with a bright and beautiful white and light blue sunset sky in the background.

If you want a peek into North American Archeology, here's a map that (roughly) breaks up the regions we work in. There are definitely tribes that do not agree with these classifications, so keep that in mind. As an archeologist, these are sort of the general regional classifications we use. (1/3)

A map showing the general culture areas that North American archeologists use to break up North and Central America into sub-regions. Starting from South to North, the islands of the Caribbean Sea and the coast of northern South America is labeled "Caribbean". This region includes the Taino and Arawak peoples. The region from roughly modern-day Guatemala to the Rio-Grande River along the modern US-Mexico border is labeled "Mesoamerica" and includes groups like the Toltec and the Aztec Empire. The "Southwest" region encompasses Arizona, Western New Mexico, and extends down to the eastern coast of the Gulf of Baja. This includes the Hopi, Apache, and Yaqui. The "California" region follows the coast of modern-day California from the tip of the Baja Penninsula to the top of the state of California and includes the Cochimi & Pomo peoples. The "Southeast" region stretches from the US state of Florida to Tennessee and west to Louisiana with the Cherokee and Natchez peoples. The "Northeast" archeology region includes the modern eastern US states up into southern Canada and stretches around the entire Great Lakes region. Tribes here include the Illinois and Huron. The "Great Plains" region stretches from central Canada down into northern Mexico and includes the Blackfoot and Comanche tribes. The "Great Basin" Region is smaller and includes most of modern day Nevada, the Sierra Nevada mountains, much of Utah, and parts of southern Idaho. Peoples here included the Utes and Shoshone. Modern Idaho straight up into southern Canada is a small region known as the "Plateau" which includes the Salish and Yakima people. The entire pacific northwest stretching up to Alaska is labeled as the "Northwest Coast" region and includes the Chinook and Tlingit. Large Swaths of modern Canada are labeled the "Sub-artic" and "Artic" for what is left outside and inside the Artic Circle. These include the Inuit and Cree peoples. All regions have dozens to hundreds of tribes not included on the map.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

An insightful piece by Timothy Snyder, drawing some uncanny historic similarities between the current US policy under Musk-Trump regarding the Russo-Ukraine war and the foreign policy by the allied countries in 1938 that led to the dawn of World War II. I'd highly recommend giving it a read!

‘The Peace of Wild Things’ - Wendell Berry (2018)

The Peace of Wild Things
Wendell Berry

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

I believe that anybody who wants to fight for a better future absolutely needs to read 'On Tyranny' by @timothysnyder.bsky.social. It is such a quick & digestible $12 read that uses real history to show how we can stand up in this moment. Resistance requires that people be informed.

The cover of the book mentioned in the post. The cover says simply On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century (by) Timothy Snyder.
