I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Putting a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo in the Senate normalizes Naziism in our federal politics for a long ass time.

All these recent stories about secret Nazi group chats? Anytime that happens going forward will be met with "But Platner."

It's not a purity test. Think through the consequences.

No real leftist would so despise the working class that they'd imagine you can't find working class people by the dozens who never flirted with Naziism.

"Not having Nazi symbolism inked onto your body" is the lowest possible bar for anyone running for election to clear.

He has a Nazi tattoo, dude.

Has had it for decades.

Was totally cool with paying and sitting for a hate symbol to be stabbed into his skin for at least an hour.

That is unacceptable, idc how many times you watched American History X.

Rising progressives do not have Nazi tattoos for multiple decades.

That's not progressive, that's Nazi imagery.

People act like all the men are gone. The men are attending protests. The men are putting together scooters for their kids. The men are getting a set of turntables for the first time. The men are buying Nikes. The men are getting super into noir. They're not Nazis and they're fine. Keep your freaks.

"How do you expect to win back men...?"

We don't want those men. They are the hot dogs on the floor of humanity and we still have all these nice prepped hamburger patties if someone would just let them cook.

Reminder that the government and media will create an environment hostile to your existence, and then - when someone fed by that hate murders you - the government will use your death to propagate policies that further marginalize your existence.

Meeting yesterday with Brianna Ghey's mother Esther - and pupils at Brianna's former school - was a powerful reminder of why controls on social media and smartphone use in schools is so important for children, teachers and parents. (1/2)

I'm tired. We're all tired. This isn't hard to understand. You can't inflate prices of basic necessities like food and housing to ridiculous highs while keeping wages at poverty levels, then act surprised when luxury goods/services and large purchases become unattainable or payments unaffordable.

Anyone who is willing to sacrifice my civil and human rights is an existential threat to me and I will respond to them that way. Trans people are not your acceptable losses. Neither are immigrants. Neither are Palestinians. We all get out together or we don't get out of this at all.
