Hungary isn't the only fascist country in the EU right now. And several have been teetering on the brink for a while.

One of those studies that confirms something that's pretty obvious. It's still worth doing the studies, I guess.

But measles carries a significant risk serious long-term illness or death, unlike the vaccine. And when everyone has the vaccine, very few people get the disease due to herd immunity, which worked fine for decades. Why can these people not hold two facts in their mind at the same time?

How about talking to Chuck Schumer about the concept of not being an utter coward?

Imprison and enslave in another country. For the rest of their lives, with no due process and no evidence of having done anything illegal.

CECOT prisoners do not receive visits and are never allowed outdoors. The prison does not offer workshops or educational programs to prepare them to return to society after their sentences.

...

Bukele’s justice minister has said that those held at CECOT would never return to their communities.

The Trump administration has not identified the migrants deported, provided any evidence they are in fact members of Tren de Aragua or that they committed any crimes in the U.S.

Hey, they might hold a small sign or wear a special color for an afternoon. Sure to bring the new Nazis down, just like it did for Hitler.

Why would they pretend? If no one enforces the law the fascists will just revel in its impotence.

That's an insult to mental illness.

Yeah it wasn't really about the mustard or the tan suit or the birth certificate.

Even so, endless fascism is still even worse. They won't go willingly, and they won't respect election results. Leave it too long and it will be as difficult as overthrowing Hitler or the USSR. Actually more difficult, because those regimes faced actual opposition from abroad, whereas now it feels like the whole world is going fascist.

All cishet white male conservative lives matter.

It actually does, but it supports other people too. That's the bit they can't stand.

Wow. What colour hands would they recommend? Let me guess...

There's not really anything wrong with being incompetent, so long as you have the humility to admit it and learn from people who know better, and try not to cause harm. That's not Musk's minions though.

Oh man, Trump is going to declare martial law on Hitler's birthday.

No, you're a menace to the rest of the world.

Capitulating to fascists doesn't get you off the hook. It just shows them you're weak and easily duped.

Fascists must be fought, not appeased.

It sounds like the person with the knife may have been a Tesla dealer who didn't want the news covered:

While covering the story for Seattle’s Morning News, a man approached KIRO Newsradio’s Luke Duecy and pulled out what appeared to be a knife.

“I can’t tell if that person is with another business that’s nearby or with this business. Someone clearly rolled in, older gentleman, did not want us being here, wanted us all to leave,” Duecy said.

“He decided to come up to me right before I came on air and tried to get me to leave, essentially. And then I told him “No.” And that’s when I saw this person reach in the back behind like a belt or something and pull something metallic out underneath, and I went “oh,” and there were unfortunately a lot of bad language between the two of us.

“That was a scary moment as well. But you know, obviously someone does not want us to be here and to show these vehicles, but that’s in fact what we’re doing.”

Easter Day

April 20th for all the ignorant non-Christians like myself.

Jeffries is a master at sidestepping questions and offering noncommittal answers. I watched his interview with Jon Stewart, where he sidestepped for a solid hour. He and Schumer are truly an inspiring pair.
