It's not antisemitism to call this a genocide and war crime.

If you don't care about the 18 thousand children killed, there's something wrong with you.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Hungary is no longer a democracy. It should be a good example what will happen in the US if people don't vote the magas out.

Any other outcome would have made a mockery of the European Parliament’s own finding that Orban’s Hungary is no longer a democracy but an electoral autocracy aka a situation where Orban can influence and interfere with judicial proceedings at will

China’s internet censors are moving to stamp out more than just political dissent. Now, they are targeting the public mood itself — punishing bloggers and influencers whose weary posts are resonating widely in a country where optimism is fraying.

Cheer Up, or Else: China Cracks Down on the Haters and Cynics

As China struggles with economic discontent, internet censors are silencing those who voice doubts about work, marriage, or simply sigh too loudly online.
