Dude woke up every day for the past 10 years and had an opportunity to cover up the Nazi tattoo. That's 3650 times he chose to keep the Nazi tattoo, and zero times he chose to get rid of it.

even if he lazered off the tattoo during the debate the creditability of his decision making is fucked.

I don't see how adding a senator that has permanently added Nazi iconography to his body helps the current fascist climate

Haven't seen anyone comment on it yet but this local Illinois journalist has revealed that internal AIPAC fundraising emails call both Kat Abu and Daniel Biss anti-American for their opposition to Israeli apartheid.

Matthew Eadie @mattheweadie.bsky.social · 1d

The second email on Sept. 15, also sent by AIPAC, encourages donations to Angie Craig in MN, Haley Stevens in MI and Laura Fine in IL-09

Links to all three of these candidates lead to the same "Pro-Israel Network" donation page using Democracy Engine as the vendor

The Guardian is reporting that since Israel and Hamas signed the ceasefire and full hostage exchange agreement, Israel has violated the ceasefire 47 times, killed 38 Palestinians, and wounded another 143 more.

Meanwhile Hamas has released all remaining hostages.

It Was Never About The Hostages.

⭕️ Report | Israel launches 20+ airstrikes across Gaza claiming Hamas breached ceasefire

Israeli warplanes carried out more than 20 strikes across multiple areas of Gaza on Sunday, including regions far from the “yellow line” marking Israeli control, after the army claimed Hamas fighters emerged…

In a detailed statement, Hamas also accused Israel of systematically violating the Sharm el-Sheikh ceasefire agreement signed on October 9. The group said Israel has killed at least 46 civilians and wounded 132 since the deal took effect, fired on returning residents near the “yellow line,” blocked aid and reconstruction materials, and withheld detainees and the bodies of prisoners who died in custody. It called these violations “deliberate attempts to sabotage the agreement” and “crimes against humanity.”

Axios reported that U.S. officials were alerted to Israel’s planned strikes through the American command center overseeing the deal. A senior Trump administration official told Axios that “we knew this was brewing,” adding that the U.S. urged Israel to “respond proportionately but show restraint.” Envoy Steve Witkoff and advisor Jared Kushner are expected in Israel this week to prevent further escalation and advance Trump’s “New Rafah” reconstruction plan.

The Trump administration have not publicly commented, while Palestinians on the ground say Israel has used minor security incidents as pretexts to resume attacks and block all aid deliveries.

As of Sunday night, Gaza’s Health Ministry and Civil Defense were still assessing casualties from the new Israeli airstrikes, with at least 15 people killed and dozens injured, according to hospital sources.

The Austin police department shot me in the chest with a less lethal round for trying to help a person off the ground during a protest. They fired tear gas at anti ICE protesters a few months ago. Do not be foolish enough to embrace them.

As promised, if you’re inspired by the march today but don’t know how else to get involved, how to sustainably fight fascism, that can look a few different ways. Here’s a thread of thoughts, short of nationwide withholding of labor / sustained protest:

The audacity of people who pretend that everything that's going on now came down to a vote is astonishing. It ignores the culpability of BOTH parties in setting the precedents currently being weaponized by fascism. It's like nothing ever happened, and all was well with the world before 2025.

White supremacy is when Republican men and women in their 20s & 30s praising Hitler, genocide, and rape are “just kids”—but 18-year-old Michael Brown was no angel, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was a thug, 16-year-old Kalief Browder was a criminal, and 12-year-old Tamir Rice should’ve known better.😐

The 'No Kings' protest isn't a protest.

It's a pep rally for Liberals that believe their feeling of being "part of something" is more important than any actual demands from those in power.

"No Kings" is not a demand. It's a stupid slogan and one that has no implication beyond "We're upset".
