If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

This is the second time USAID/State is punishing people revealing the truth that Marco is killing children. They're quite desperate to hide this fact, as if the reporters in Africa or court declarations are making it up.

This is more like an expression than a word. But it is VERY important to know if you're learning Hungarian. đ ĂĄrvĂztƱrĆ tĂŒkörfĂșrĂłgĂ©p - it means flood-resistant mirror-drilling machine. You need to know this because it is an expression that includes all the Hungarian diacritics in one handy place.
