I covered this story today and it's pretty inspiring to see some 50,000 Germans show up at 6 am in the dark to try to keep a fascist youth convention from convening; if Germany hadn't called in cops from all around the country they probably would have pulled it off.

Mass protests against founding meeting of AfD youth organisation
Demonstrators have blocked roads at 16 points around Giessen, while the first AfD delegates arrive under police protection. Up to 50,000 participants are expected for the day. The situation in the morning.

This is fundamentally Nazism. The idea that different peoples than the favored races carry degradation in their very genes, that they cannot strive to become better because biology compels them to be worse. It’s not just repugnant, it’s a bald faced lie.

And it's a story that illuminates the ways the U.S. is failing to control what could become the next pandemic. 🧵
