Predictably, the Nazi tattoo has become the focus of why Platner shouldn't represent the Democratic Party, but I sure do wish that Platner's opposition to climate action would be enough for that or at least get more attention.

A couple weeks ago I noted that two paths for what future Ds look like could be seen in Mamdani & Platner. I felt that Mamdanis pathway was better bc he was proposing a positive/hopeful vision of the future vs an angry "we were stabbed in the back" narrative like Platner. Feeling good about that.

Related to my Bernie post from last night, the political sin I'm going to have to atone for over the rest of my life is thinking that any of these guys were smart instead of just angry

I have seen a lot of people downplaying the Platner stuff as "he wasn't even that appealing" or "he didn't even have a chance of winning"

And I wish we wouldn't do that. I think that really undercuts the clear moral statement:

Even if he was a guaranteed win, he should still be out.

End of story.

This is Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS and architect of the Holocaust. That symbol on his cap is the totenkopf. This isn't just a nazi symbol, it was the symbol of SS guards who mass murdered millions.

Just to be clear, no one who gets this as a tattoo should ever be elected.

“Historic black and white photo showing Heinrich Himmler in a Nazi SS uniform, identified by a red arrow, standing among other uniformed officers. He wears a peaked cap with an eagle insignia and appears to be speaking to a man in work clothes in the foreground.”

“Black and white portrait of a Heinrich Himmler wearing a Nazi SS uniform, including a peaked cap with a skull insignia and a skull emblem. The man has round glasses, a serious expression, and is facing slightly to the side.”

Honestly if you want to do the Edgy Critique of Nazi tattoo guy it's that everyone cares about the tattoo and not the fact that this guy spent a decade murdering people in Iraq and Afghanistan and worked for fucking Blackwater because tattoos mean more to Americans

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I've seen multiple posts recently saying No Kings had no demands and I think I see what they mean but that also feels... not quite right to me

For one there's a demand in the name lol "no kings," like everyone was demanding an end to authoritarianism

You have to be willing to walk away from these guys if they let you down, just as a matter of basic self respect. It's not a fandom. You're hiring them to do a job or not.

I liked the Platner ads too but I think there's a difference between "guy who had some bad reddit posts a decade ago" and "ex-Blackwater merc who still has a Nazi tattoo." Sucks bigtime that he's the only one taking positions and talking policy I like, but them's the breaks!

I'm seeing a lot of people claiming ICE has guided warheads. This seems to be based on a Substack newsletter which as best I can tell was referring to this contract. This contract is for distraction devices (sound grenades), but the PSC is for guided warheads

A gang of ICE thugs just rolled into Chinatown, arresting street vendors on Canal Street who’ve been there for decades—they sent in an armored tank and masked agents with weapons to confront New Yorkers as protests grew in response.

Platner's tattoo is literally the specific piece of Nazi iconography from the "Are we the baddies?" sketch.

Yesterday in Shilling v. Trump (the 9th Circuit case about the military transgender ban), the government admitted that it has found no evidence to support any of the "traits" that the Secretary of Defense attributed to transgender servicemembers.

D.A.A.G. Kambli: So, Your Honor, as one example: The privacy interest. That affects, um, how --
Judge Christen: Has it been a problem?
D.A.A.G. Kambli: I can’t say there’s anything in the record with these individual plaintiffs.
Judge Christen: Me either; I can’t find it. I have a related question. At oral argument in front of the district court, the government responded … there was no evidence associating transgender people with a lack of honesty or humility. … Is there any evidence associating transgender service members with a lack of integrity?
D.A.A.G. Kambli: So, Your Honor, there’s no evidence in the record of that.
Judge Christen: Okay. I’m going to ask the other four traits. I’m not trying to be pedantic, but I want to make sure I’m not missing anything because there are a lot of different studies. … Lack of selflessness?
D.A.A.G. Kambli: So, Your Honor, there’s no evidence in the record on that.
Judge Christen: Honor?
D.A.A.G. Kambli: There’s no evidence in the record on that
Judge Christen: Truth?
D.A.A.G. Kambli: The same answer.
Judge Christen: And the same answer for lack of discipline?
D.A.A.G. Kambli: The same answer for that.

If Platner makes the Senate it will be devastating to the effort to denormalize and stigmatize Nazi dogwhistles and symbology. Him and his tattoo will be trotted out every time we try and call something out.

Fenway Health just sent this message to all of their patients. They are lying to their patients telling them that cessation of gender affirming care to trans youth was due to a change in federal regulations. This is a lie. No such change was made to regulations. This was Fenway complying in advance.

A letter from Jordina Shanks, CEO of Fenway Health, addressed to the Fenway Health community. It announces that due to new federal requirements effective October 1, 2025, Fenway Health will no longer provide medical gender-affirming care (hormones and puberty blockers) for patients under 19. The letter explains that this change follows a revised U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Grants Policy, which allows termination of grants that “no longer effectuate program goals or agency priorities.” Continuing the service would jeopardize Fenway’s status as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). The message emphasizes that this decision was made with great difficulty and does not reflect a change in Fenway’s values or commitment to the transgender and gender-diverse community. It details how staff have worked to support affected patients and families and reaffirms Fenway’s ongoing advocacy and inclusive mission. Highlighted portions stress the HHS policy change, the risk to FQHC status, and Fenway’s continued belief in and support for gender-affirming care.
