🇷🇴🗳️ Watching interviews with Nicușor Dan and it's amazing how a introverted guy running on a "I just want a normal Romania that works, do you?" platform somehow didn't wink to the far right and managed to rally a nation to text their "I don't care about politics" aunties and get them to vote.

Long-awaited meeting between Mozambican president Daniel Chapo and the de facto leader of the opposition Venâncio Mondlane took place in Maputo last night

It seem insane for a US Senator to say we've all been subjected to "a relentless bombardment of Marxist propaganda." But what he means by this is 1) there was a Burger King ad with an interracial couple and 2) Star Wars Episodes VII-IX had a female lead.
