If I got a tattoo that I didn't know was Nazi and then I found out it was Nazi, I would have gotten rid of it that day, whether through laser removal, giant black box tattooed over it, or just hacking the flesh off. If you keep the Nazi tattoo, that means you don't mind the Nazi tattoo.

There’s no such thing as a ‘Nazi phase’

If you read about the Nazis even one time and don’t immediately think: ‘goddamn that’s the worst humanity has to offer’

You’re a bad person.
Period.

It could be ‘the first of many’ but it doesn’t have to be — because you can say “fuck no, not in my state!”

The same way antivax nutjobs organize — you can, too.

Belligerent normalcy wins people over: “Not in my school! Keep your freedom measles away from my kid.”

You just have to do it.

Funny how most of us survived drunken nights without getting Nazi tattoos.

I can grasp doing an impulsive crazy thing while drunk. I can’t, however, ever understand (or forgive) choosing to get a Nazi tattoo. You have poor judgment when intoxicated. But you are still you. Sorry, them’s the rules.

My grandfather liberated the camps and obviously that messed him up a lot.
I expect, no demand, every group/politician who previously endorsed Graham Platner to put out a statement basically saying
"It will be a cold day in hell before we let a person with a SS tattoo become a senator"

I'm sorry but I can't respect a single "progressive" organization or politician who doesn't immediately call for a candidate to drop out as soon as they find out they have a NAZI TATTOO. This is a really low bar.

Mike Johnson's latest messaging amid the govt shutdown: Dems are "terrified of their radical base" and "decrying this so-called forthcoming health care crisis."

The "so-called crisis" is when 24 million Americans will see the cost of their ACA health care premiums skyrocket on Nov. 1.

I am confused! I get all of my news from NYT and they assured me that demigods Trump & Kushner solved Middle East peace last week, and they deserve an extra-special $10 billion in unmarked bills in silver briefcases AND a Nobel Peace prizes.

I mean this is viscerally upsetting because it's really genuinely him treating the white house like it's his own personal property; he's the king and it's his palace. No other president ever thought like this, even if they were a fucking horrible person, because it goes against our founding creed
