“There are still some who blame this war not on Putin’s lust for power but on Ukraine’s thirst for freedom, so I want to ask them: would they ever blame the Hungarians for the Soviet invasion in 1956? There is no European language where peace is synonymous with surrender and sovereignty is synonymous with occupation.” - these were the exact words with which Ursula von der Leyen addressed Viktor Orban.
This happened in response to the Hungarian prime minister's anti-European and anti-Ukrainian statements. In addition, in the European Parliament, in protest against Hungary, a group of deputies sang the famous partisan song “Bella Ciao”.
I listened to this statement several times. With great pleasure. You too?
Thank you!
This is not just a video:
This video, dance, and song are a powerful protest against the patriarchy that Kurdish women have long been fighting.
Here are some of the most striking elements:
First, we see the Kurdish women breaking free from the burka, boldly stepping forward in their traditional Kurdish attire, which has been suppressed for centuries by Islamic dress codes since the spread of Islam invaded everywhere.
Next, they dance on a graveyard, symbolizing the lives Kurds have sacrificed in the fight against Islamist oppression. Kurds have a saying: "Kurdistan is the graveyard of fascists," emphasizing that tyrants have invaded their homes, attempting to erase their culture and identity, yet never succeeding in stopping their struggle for freedom.
In their vibrant clothing, they don't just dance - they play instruments, shout their freedom with conviction, and perform their fight as daughters, women, mothers, and sisters. Their dance reflects how, after every battle and victory, they wash the darkness from their faces, braid each other's hair, grasp each other's hands with determination, and continue their Kurdish dance - a powerful symbol of their resilience and unity.

this is so moving - and so urgently important. But its tragic tone recognises that the battle for truth and reality is likely lost. And with it, America.
There it is. Share this everywhere, everyone should see it today.
Q: Would you have certified the 2020 election?
JD Vance: I would have voted against certification
"If Donald Trump doesn’t care about his Vice President being hung by a mob, what makes you think he will care about you?" - Barack Obama
This is powerful!
NEW: Evidence has been uncovered that Donald Trump enriched himself at the expense of taxpayers. While Trump was president, he stole $1.7 billion dollars in revenue and directed the funds to flow through his businesses. Further, Trump did everything possible to ensure the majority of the stolen money came from American taxpayers.
Additionally, “Stop the Steal” profiteering raked in more than $500,000,000 for Trump, less than $9,000,000 of which has been spent on lawyers. Trump is spending the remainder of the funds on himself.
An agonizing example of the thieving fundraising practices of “Stop the Steal” — The Trump campaign stole a man’s last $3000 as he lay dying in hospice.

.@KamalaHarris doesn’t have “concepts of a plan” for the American people – she has actual plans to make your life better. And she’s more than ready to be President. Let’s help her get elected: https://t.co/P9hoDajB1P
Hoy hace un mes que no fumo. Me ayudó mucho ponerlo aquí y recibir ánimos esos primeros días e incluso chocolate de algunos que lo leísteis y os molestasteis en tener ese detalle. Gracias por eso y por demostrar que este espacio puede ser positivo, que caben los cuidados 🌷 💖🍫
Today @KamalaHarris proposed commonsense ideas to keep our economy growing and working for all of us. She grew up middle class, and she understands what it takes to build an economy that lowers costs, creates jobs, and puts American workers and families first.
