When communism died, Hungary did the most intense economic restructuring of all post-communist states. Within 2 years, all public companies were privatised. No Hungarian had the money to buy, so most was bought by German & Austrian companies. Which is why the biggest employers in Hungary are foreign

Excellent thread explaining the technical details of a profoundly illegal action. If I were a financial manager I’d really notice that ADA violations carry a 5 year statute of limitations.
Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything.

It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in.

Long thread.

Dem chances have plummeted over the last 6 months. Why? Well Nate Silver is a whale on Kalshi and he’s shorting the Dems there to move the market so he can buy low on Predictit and Crowbar Eddie’ll stay off his back for another week.
CNN is covering prediction market odds from an online casino as if it’s actual polling data
I wanted to be a full sized candy guy. Aint happening this year
Halloween candy prices are about to lay people OUT.
I was just discussing price increases in the US across a wide range of goods following T’s tariffs. Definitely feeling it at the grocery store.
Still need to come up with a sign
I got a T rex with a jetpack!
I did what Hank asked and sent this to a few friends.

But then I remembered I have a bunch of Atlanta friends on here.

if you have been to any of the big NO KINGS rallies, you understand what a hilarious mistake it is to tell people to tune in for coverage of scary black clad anarchists tearing everything apart
i have to be honest, gang, i have some questions about this republican strategy of telling everyone to tune in and pay attention to what’s likely to be one of the largest days of political protest in american history directed at the republican party
Johnson: "We call it the Hate America Rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you you'll see Hamas supporters, I bet you'll see antifa types, I bet you'll see Marxists on full display, people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic"

the future is yours if you’re willing to take it
As an officer of a local party where about 70 of our 280 committee seats are filled, I cannot reiterate enough that the party is a creation of the people whose hands are on it. In too many places there aren't enough hands, or those hands are complacent or bitter. But they could be yours instead.
My union has cute laminated guidesheets for members when a meeting is happening.

You can too!

you’re missing the point: you, yes, you, reading this right now, can march up the steps and kick the fucking door in if you’re willing to do the work. you can be “local democratic operations”.
If only those local Democratic operations would target their currently energized base instead of the imaginary swing voting Baileys of Massapequa

by this time next year, we want ICE agent to be one of the most miserable, soul destroying, hated jobs in america, we want parking enforcement to look like a dream job by comparison
the thing is, all that knock off amazon operator gear you bought to look tough and scary just looks fucking silly when you are being gyrated at by someone wearing an inflatable frog costume and being mooned by a naked bagpiper on a unicycle, it just doesn’t work, the self image cannot hold
It should not be understated how much clever shit like this actually annihilates morale at places like ICE/CBP.

Getting made fun of like this on national television while people laugh at you is.. well, you may call it victory wine, but it ain't.

a couple of people have criticized this "but what if you do bad things with all that power" but like. look around you. the right has already grasped the power at hand and is using it. "republicans use the state to advance their goals; democrats unilaterally disarm" is not a sustainable equilibrium!
one thing that has been obvious for a while is this aspect of the authoritarian internationale: they recognize that their allies abroad are not *countries* but *political movements* within foreign countries.

time we liberals woke up and recognized this--because it's the truth.
Or maybe, just maybe, what was obvious in 2024 was correct: Netanyahu fully backed Trump and would not deal with Biden because Trump would give him a free hand to escalate the starvation, bombing, and do full ethnic cleansing. Which he then did, until Netanyahu embarrassed him by bombing Qatar.
