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.

food banks have already been under pressure over the past several years, and with SNAP benefits expiring they're going to be the only safety net for a lot of people

please donate what you can. $100 can feed several families for a month because of the discounts and purchasing power they have

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.
It's not just the tattoo. He's also a former member of a PMC.

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

yeah you cannot, CANNOT, trick yourself into team sports politics yet again

i don't care if someone i really like says lots of amazing things. being an ex blackwater merc who still has a nazi tattoo is disqualifying.

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!
And he was in a Private military company joining after they were charged for a masacare.

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.

Angry about this? Join our HandsOffNYC.com mass call 10/29 at 7pm.

ICE is now the 13th largest military in the world on its own.

Never ever accept the lie we cannot pay for Universal Healthcare.

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.

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.

speaking as a metalhead: the guy who hasn't removed his nazi tattoo is not a guy you want to be around. I don't care what he says about how he got it. if he didn't get it covered or lasered, you cannot trust him.

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.

I can totally relate to the concept of being jumpscared by a phone call but this instance was extreme to the point of hilarity:
I'm no fan of mills but isn't she good on trans rights?
