I’ll say it straight: It is unbecoming, undignified, cowardly, and shameful for a institution as revered and respected as the University of Virginia to grant an audience in 2025 to those who are committed to destroying science, free thought, human rights, and the rule of law.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

the lie and the truth

the lie:

Platner said in a written statement Tuesday that he's planning to have the tattoo removed.

"It was not until I started hearing from reporters and DC insiders that I realized this tattoo resembled a Nazi symbol," he said. "I absolutely would not have gone through life having this on my chest if I knew that - and to insinuate that I did is disgusting. I am already planning to get this removed."

the truth:

"He said, 'Oh, this is my Totenkopf," the former acquaintance told Jewish Insider recently, speaking on the condition of anonymity to address a sensitive issue. "He said it in a cutesy little way."

The exchange occurred in 2012 at Tune Inn, a popular dive on Capitol Hill where Platner later worked as a bartender and was a frequent patron while he attended The George Washington University on the G.I. bill, according to the former acquaintance. He would often take his shirt off drinking with friends late at night at the bar, and on at least one occasion had stated he knew what the tattoo represented, the former acquaintance recalled.

They have GOT to give it a new name. Extra-uterine fertilization and implantation, for instance. EFI. Pregnancy implies the possibility of a birth, etymologically and in common usage.

Check out these results from the Rocky Gap precinct of Bland County, Virginia. Why would a person not give all the love to the 141 folks who turned out for the Dem congressional candidate last fall? The headwinds those people deal with everyday! Lord.

State election-board websites give granular info on election results. Take a look and remember that every one of those minority votes represents a human being.

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him
