Like, aside from the obvious moral concerns, I’d argue that a man who really thought no one would find out or care about him having a Nazi tattoo on his goddamned tiddy isn’t smart enough to be a US senator. Maybe run for the PTA or something. IDK. But a peer of Elizabeth Warren you are NOT.

"Oh so there's no path to redemption?" Sure there is. Most paths to redemption don't run through the U.S. Senate, though. Go, live a good life. Farm oysters. Diminish and go into the East and be an always improving Graham Platner. Do not be a Senator. And remove that fucking tat.

I really liked what he was saying. But if there's any way to recover from "hey man you have a fucking SS Nazi tattoo on your tiddy and thought it was OK to have one," he did not find that path, and it's not puritanical or exclusionary to say so, and its ridiculous to even have to explain this.

I honestly don't think centrists believe anything at all. Just as I don't want to see a "mainstream" presidential candidate who hounds homeless people and abandons trans people, I don't want a "progressive" Senator with a Nazi tattoo. The uprights aren't narrow here. This shouldn't be hard.

Nearly 42 million people could miss food stamps next month thanks to the Trump-Republican government shutdown.

And Republicans would rather keep the government shut down than help feed our families.

The cruelty is the point.

Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...

Yeah. All average people with ADHD and autism can hope to gain from a diagnosis is validation that their condition is real and access to community, knowledge and tools that will make their lives easier and better in countless ways big and small.

Guess that doesn't seem worth it without a book deal.

For every right to swing one's fist, there is the proverbial other person's nose that limits it.

This includes free speech.

Nazis do not have the right to speak freely about their ideology, because that ideology includes MASS MURDER OF HUMANS. Stop pretending it's just some equal, valid opinion.
