Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride.
However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

We refuse to watch quietly while Trump marches us into yet another war in the Middle East, this time following Israel on their genocidal mission. No war with Iran! Free Palestine!

"Trump has spent the last five months vowing that the Ukraine-Russia war would never have happened if he was president, vowing that the Israel-Gaza war would never have happened if he was president. And yet the reality is that not only has he not avoided war, but he’s plunged us into a new one."

this is a sith lightsaber, from the war. I keep it on a shelf right next to my stormtrooper armor and imperial officer’s uniform. I’ve even got a verified chunk of the death star from yavin. I’m just a collector. I just think the history is interesting. no, I don’t have any rebel stuff

A man pulled up to a gas station to fill up his truck. ICE agents surrounded him and took him away. But his children were left behind.
“They arrested someone,” witness said. “They left the children inside the truck.”

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
