The first two posts Mark Zuckerberg’s flagship app chose to show me when I logged in tonight. I don’t follow either account. For context, I’m Jewish. Amazing how sinisterly dark shit has gotten.

So even though we now all know @GovBillLee was lying about the arrests in MEMPHIS being mostly violent criminals, Speaker Sexton continues to claim otherwise.

How is their lying not the story now?

Putting a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo in the Senate normalizes Naziism in our federal politics for a long ass time.

All these recent stories about secret Nazi group chats? Anytime that happens going forward will be met with "But Platner."

It's not a purity test. Think through the consequences.
