Trump could unveil plans for a massive death camp in Kansas and the internet would be like “ahah he used AI to make the blueprints for the death camp” and then the death camp would still be built

From Politico 🇫🇷 Marine Le Pen’s political future is cloudy for now, but Sunday’s rally in support of her took place under an impeccably sunny spring sky in an upscale neighborhood of central Paris, with temperatures nearing 20 degrees Celsius.
But despite ideal weather, the crowd didn’t show up.
According to organizers of Sunday’s rally, some 5,000 to 8,000 people were expected to attend the event, soberly titled “Save Democracy,” with a fleet of 20 buses and nine mini-buses to bring in more supporters. During his speech, National Rally President Jordan Bardella claimed 10,000 people were present.
Yet the Place Vauban, located directly in front of the golden dome of Les Invalides — a monument dedicated to France’s military history and the final resting place of Emperor Napoleon I — was sparsely filled, and the true attendance figure was likely much lower.
Two of France’s main left-wing political organizations — the French Greens and three-time presidential candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s France Unbowed movement — staged a counterprotest at the Place de la République in Paris to “defend the rule of law.” The left-wing protest appeared to have drawn the largest crowd.
