Liberals when candidates defend trans people: "We can't do this, it's too unpopular."

Liberals when candidates have a nazi ss tattoo: "it's ok, not all candidates are perfect."

Do y'all hear yourselves?!

Just for one example, the Air Force has been filled with Christian nationalists for like 30 years. It’s been a concerted effort.

With all these claims being made by people that everyone they know in the military is wearing a neo-Nazi or straight up Nazi tattoo maybe it’s time to have a conversation about the level of white power and fascist extremism within the United States military and how we need to destroy

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner tells AP he got a new tattoo to cover one seen as a Nazi symbol.

I really think people are underestimating the degree to which 21st century politics are going to be apocalyptically bad; we are collectively sliding towards mass ethnic cleansing being the norm in the Western World, out of no reason but pure fucking spite and empty nostalgia.

Tory policy is to revoke permanent residence (ILR) for everybody who does not earn £38k - deporting most nurses who have ILR

This is put in the video as "who is unlikely to contribute more than they cost"

NB: video does not say EU settled status is exempt

No govt since Idi Amin has done this

Insane to have that tattoo and not drop—what? A grand? How expensive can the best tattoo in Maine be?—to get it covered up BEFORE you run for the United States fucking senate

I've run out of self-restraint, worse than when the guys on the train to Boston were fan boying over Reds Eats.
The DC consultant class has fucked up our US Senate race again and you all need to stop snipping at each other.
This is seriously the dumbest timeline.
Graham has an anti-Semitic tattoo on his chest. He's not an idiot, he's a military history buff. Maybe he didn't know it when he got it, but he got it years ago and he should have had it covered up because he knows damn well what it means.
His campaign released it themselves to some podcast bros, along with a video of him shirtless and drunk at a wedding to try to get ahead of it.
The vault is open for the GOP to fucking crush any dreams we had in the general and literally everyone I know is fighting with each other on social media.
We cannot be this painfully stupid.

at that level of wealth living in the place you like is worth vastly more than a small additional tax bill

people are going to complain, some of them may briefly try to leave, and then they will return because living elsewhere isn’t the same

again this is just how the concept of linear time works

A very stupid headline from a valnet website that simply reads 'Game of Thrones' Didn't Just Spoil the Ending of 'House of the Dragon' - It Also Spoiled the Upcoming Prequel Spin-off'.

one of the reasons I don’t really like to get into even silly sounding conspiracy theories is that the answer to “fun conspiracy or antisemitism” is almost always “antisemitism”

it is the ugly ur-conspiracy at the bottom of most of these rabbit holes

Rick Caruso’s Private Fire Crew @amandasmith.bsky.social · 1d

Before you start making jokes about this - the reptilian conspiracy theory is deep, rabbit hole-level antisemitism.
