1. Today, 200,000 marched in Budapest Pride in defiance of a ban by Orbán's far-right government. It was led by the city's mayor Gergely Karácsony, who got around the law by making it an "official city gathering." He was warned of arrest. They marched anyway. Subscribe to support my journalism.

200,000 March In Budapest Pride, Refusing To Capitulate To Anti-LGBTQ+ Law

The march can teach the world the power of organized solidarity in the wake of a global, anti-LGBTQ+ reactionary movement.

@DoomsdaysCW Ah, well, that checks out. I only recently learned about #TheLandlordsGame so I'm extra zealous...

@DoomsdaysCW
Seems a good place to point to the earlier origins of the game, created by a woman living in Maryland decades earlier to basically illustrate the economic theory Georgism and the benefit of property tax, if I've glossed it appropriately.

@LIGO Thank you! In case anyone doesn't know, one of those detectors is endangered!

Anybody need an astrophysicist in a trans-tolerant country

If your country's police force dresses like this, you may live in a military dictatorship.

@benjancewicz A country with masked police which is also a country trying to push mask bans, but just for the citizenry.
@benjancewicz @tankgrrl They look like genuine terrorists.
@layered @benjancewicz Yeah. Watch videos of cartel gangs stopping people and it looks exactly like this.
@layered @benjancewicz @tankgrrl They are genuine terrorists. By both intent and design. There is no coincidence or accident in this.
@benjancewicz yes, that tracks. After the next turning of the wheel they might be at the other end of the barrel, and they know it.
@benjancewicz Since when is ISIS driving Ford?
@benjancewicz label this Tren de Aragua and see if the cons will publish it as proof our country is being invaded by cartels
@benjancewicz i will never get the obsession with these stupid huge ass pickups

@kameleonnn @benjancewicz Worse. It's a SUV which is somehow even more inefficient. These giant vehicles help small people feel bigger than they are.

What they really need is a psychiatrist, but since 'Murika and, well, much of western society and its hangups on masculinity and etc, instead what they have to get is a giant vehicle so they can lord it over others around them on the road.

@nazokiyoubinbou @kameleonnn @benjancewicz You see some HUGE trucks here in Texas. I'm wanting to buy a little VW Golf cuz I love VWs and prefer a stick. Speaking of hands on sticks...not sure many man could find theres.
@benjancewicz That would be a gang here
@benjancewicz I can’t see how they are any different from the drug lords regime in Latin America

@benjancewicz They're not even a real police force. And this is kind of the part that sticks in my craw. Every single power they have comes from them just doing things and no one in positions of power actually stopping them.

Kidnapping people is a federal offense. If America wasn't so hardcore broken right now, police would arrest ICE on sight for federal crimes. Instead they help them.

@benjancewicz I guess Covid masks were too much to ask ..but this?
@benjancewicz Brought to you by Ford™.

@benjancewicz

It is beginning to look like it…

@benjancewicz

The Village People are lookin' rough, buddy.

@benjancewicz

One positive thing about this photo for those who aren't aware:

The reason they're standing around like this is because they attempted to get into the LA Dodgers stadium parking lot (baseball team) to make abductions and they were kicked the fuck out by the Dodgers officials (prompted by the intervention of a local council member, Eunisses Hernandez).

In this picture they are trapped between protestors and the exit, the cops had to come escort them from this location.

@benjancewicz
_military_ and _gang_ in the case of a fascist regime are the same.
they're enforcers of the ideology, if you don't fit the pattern, they punish you.
@benjancewicz And also they drive cars without plates or with covered plates
@benjancewicz Why are they allowed to wear this?
@benjancewicz we all know who else rides around in Ford sedans

@benjancewicz

They're the #Jan6 thugs pardoned by the #TrumpDictatorship

People still not seeing that? Huh.

@benjancewicz Last time I saw a picture looking like that was back when Daesh were terrorising Syria and Iraq. They just need to lose about 50 lbs of fat each and swap the Ford for a Mercedes.

Vanilla ISIS.

@benjancewicz The symmetrical response to a military dictatorship is heavily geared-up, militarized protest. Been there, done that.

If this is met with live ammunition, the assymetrical response then becomes more effective. That of course is to fight in small units from underground, striking at times and places of our choosing.

@benjancewicz
Aquí en Chile hasta los guardias de seguridad de las tiendas se ven así 🤕
