The chant “Europe, Europe, Europe” rising from the banks of the Danube, in front of the Hungarian Parliament in Budapest, where Péter Magyar @magyarpeterMP is celebrating his electoral victory, is a cry that shakes the conscience of us all. It lifts our spirits, fills us with joy, and gives us hope that this era of sovereigntism and populism may soon be consigned to the past. Long live a united and democratic Europe!

Scenes from Budapest tonight.

Can you name ONE movie for Sean Connery that is NOT Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade 1989, The Rock 1996, or James Bond Franchise'?

🤣

Boa maneira de começar o Sábado 😆

Ayaan Hirsi Ali - let’s talk a bit about her. She is one of the most courageous voices of our time. She was born in 1969 in Mogadishu, Somalia, into a strict Muslim family. As a young girl, she was subjected to female genital mutilation. She grew up between Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, and Kenya under a strict Islamic upbringing. In 1992, she fled to the Netherlands to escape an arranged marriage - she jumped off a train in Europe and applied for asylum. There, she learned Dutch, earned a degree in political science, and began working with integration. She lost her faith in Islam. She became an atheist, and later converted to Christianity in 2023. She saw clearly how Islam oppresses women - forced marriages, honor killings, female genital mutilation, polygamy, and the total lack of freedom. In 2004, she made the short film Submission together with Theo van Gogh. The film showed violence against women in Islam. Shortly after, Theo van Gogh was murdered in broad daylight in Amsterdam by a radical Muslim. A threat against Ayaan was left pinned to his chest: she was next. She received death threats for years. She had to live under police protection. She was elected to the Dutch parliament for the Liberal Party, where she fought for Muslim women’s rights and against the illusions of multiculturalism. She has written books such as Infidel, Nomad, and Heretic, where she directly criticizes the core of Islam - not just “extremism,” but the ideology itself. Today, she lives in the United States, married to historian Niall Ferguson, and continues her work, among other things through her foundation (AHA Foundation). She warns the West about mass immigration from Muslim countries, parallel societies, and the self-deception that claims Islam can be reformed without confronting its texts and history. Like Salman Rushdie, Ayaan Hirsi Ali has paid a high price for speaking the truth. Rushdie was hunted for a book. She was hunted for showing the reality of her own life and the lives of millions of Muslim women. She is not “Islamophobic.” She is a former Muslim who has seen the system from the inside and refuses to stay silent. She points to the uncomfortable truth: that Western values such as freedom of speech, gender equality, and individual liberty are incompatible with classical sharia Islam. Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a living example of why the Enlightenment is still worth defending. She risked her life to say what most people don’t dare: that the problem is not only “extremists,” but a religion that, at its core, oppresses women and rejects criticism. She deserves respect from all of us - not because she is “controversial,” but because she refuses to lie in order to be politically correct. In a time where many bow to threats, she continues to speak the truth. These are the kind of people who keep the soul of the West alive. Thank you Ayaan.❤️‍🔥🪽✝️

@fpcoutinho78 @Ann16289067 O que é que esse ser de verde tem a dizer sobre o assunto? Gostava de ver o debate todo (para me rir um bocado…)

Povo do Irão, estamos aqui para vos libertar (com bombas). Três semanas depois: como não se libertaram e o regime que vos oprime fechou o estreito, vamos deixar-vos sem eletricidade e destruir a vossa economia.

@Mishi_2210 2: the couple

@Jimomthytimbers @theepicmap Well, no. Castilla.

@iaciac @theepicmap Al-Andalus if you want to go there too.

Can someone please explain to me why Russia owns this part of Germany?

@Jimomthytimbers @theepicmap “Spain” did not exist at the time

@theepicmap Can someone explain to me why Portugal exists on historically Spanish Territory? Can someone explain to me why France exists including Brittany on historically English territory? How far down that rabbit hole do you want to go?

@EmmaBat_ Nunca consegui achar graça ao Prince 😎

No carro seguimos aquele ritual de cada uma escolher uma música. A minha filha com a maior naturalidade, diz: “tenho uma música que nunca deves ter ouvido” Segundos depois começa a tocar Purple Rain do Prince.. Respirei fundo e cantei a letra de cor. Tadinha.

Although Donald Trump says he has “destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military Capability”, the 0% that apparently remains is playing havoc with the global economy by choking off 10-15% of its oil supply economist.com/united-states/…

Isto ainda existe?

@Ins9191 @enfermeira_a @IsabelLMMoreira Estatística? Basta um único caso!

@enfermeira_a @IsabelLMMoreira Alguma estatística ou caso concreto em território nacional? Ou isso foi tirado do renomado instituto tirei do cu?

O PSD capitulou de vez. Acaba de Ser aprovado o fim da autonomia de todos os trans. Sim, adultos, também. Aprovaram o diploma do ch e do CDS. É como se estivessem a dizer que fez sentido atirar com a Gisberta para dentro de um poço. Mata-la. Nem um voto fora da disciplina.

@Ins9191 @enfermeira_a @IsabelLMMoreira Não, ninguém merece ser punido. Mas as mulheres, todas as mulheres, merecem ser protegidas e sentir-se em segurança no seu espaço

@enfermeira_a @IsabelLMMoreira Fui ver o caso ok uma pessoa agressiva como tantos reclusos e que já foi transferida para outra prisão. Como tal as pessoas trans merecem ser punidas é isso?

“War is god’s way of teaching americans geography” 😂

Here’s the video of the TISZA Party's heartwarming national march. It took two hours for the end of the crowd to even leave the starting point, and by then Heroes' Square was already packed. By the end of the event, the tail end of the half-million crowd was still only halfway along the route. Fidesz and its propaganda machine could once again produce nothing but pathetic lies, along with a provocation involving a Ukrainian flag. The "hate march" that Fidesz organized with billions in funding turned out to be one of the smallest so far — even though the ruling party bused large numbers of people into Budapest using pressure and money. The comrades are well aware that in 27 days, it’s all over.

De mal a pior…
