Tens of thousands of Germans have protested in Berlin and other cities against the rise of the far-right, anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany party ahead of the Feb. 23 election. Activists said Saturday they hoped the rally also would draw attention to other far-right parties in Europe and the new administration of U.S. President Donald Trump. The protests took place while AfD opened its election campaign with the backing of Elon Musk. The opposition center-right Union bloc tops pre-election polls, followed by AfD. The Union and other mainstream parties in Europe's largest economy have declared they will not work with the far-right party.
Heads We're Dancing
"You talked me into the game of chance
It was 39 before the music started
When you walked up to me and you said
'Hey, heads, we dance'
Well, I didn't know who you were
Until I saw the morning paper
There was a picture of you
A picture of you 'cross the front page
It looked just like you, just like you in every way
But it couldn't be true, it couldn't be true
You stepped out of a stranger
They say that the devil is a charming man
And just like you, I bet he can dance
And he's coming up behind in his long tailed black coat dance
All tails in the air
But the penny landed with its head dancing
A picture of you, a picture of you in uniform
Standing with your head held high
Hot down to the floor but it couldn't be you
It couldn't be you, it's a picture of Hitler
He go do-do-do-do-do
He go do-do-do-do-do
He go do-do-do-do-do
Do you want to dance?
Well, I couldn't see what was to be
So I just stood there laughing
A picture of you, a picture of you in uniform
Standing with your head held high
Hot down to the floor but it couldn't be you
It couldn't be you, it's a picture of Hitler
He go mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
He go mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
He go mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
Heads we're dancing
Do you wanna dance?
Mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
Mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
Mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
Heads we're dancing
Do you wanna dance?"

#Trump Reiterates He Wants to Be a ‘Dictator’ for ‘One Day’ at Wisconsin Rally
It’s the GOP presidential nominee’s fourth event in Wisconsin in eight days

@Nonilex we have our own Project 2025:
I am distressed and heartbroken to learn that my uncle, someone that I knew as an intelligent and thoughtful man, has gone full MAGA. He has hatred for Fauci, spouts lies about vaccines, and thinks DeSantos would make a good president. My uncle is a Jewish man living in New York City. I don't understand how this could have happened.
My mother, who is a Democrat, has tried to deal with him as simply family (no politics). She might be reaching the end of her rope with him.
