So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI!
This is truly insane. Total unreality. www.foxnews.com/media/snap-b...

Pregnant women describe miscarrying and bleeding out while in ICE custody, advocates say
The ACLU and other groups are pressing for ICE to identify and release all pregnant women in custody and to stop detaining anyone known to be pregnant, postpartum or nursing.
Pregnant women detained by ICE report horrifying treatment: shackling, solitary confinement, no prenatal vitamins, inadequate food. ICE's own directives and regulations require the agency to avoid detention of pregnant people in the first place. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Its not that heβs disgusted at the symbol or even its meaning but rather heβs disgusted at the insinuation that he should be associated with having this terrible thing that he chose to get tattooed on this chest that he apparently didnβt look too deeply into.
This reeks of βIβm sorry I got caught.β

I actually donβt find it particularly difficult to draw my personal line at βgot a Nazi tattoo and never had it removedβ when it comes to who to support politically. Like that seems like a pretty easy call

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.

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.

More grace for a grown man getting a Nazi tattoo than Black kids in public spaces. Itβs obscene.

Anyway if you have a Nazi tattoo itβs true youβre not a secret Nazi. Youβre an open Nazi. You literally have a sign that you carry around in your body every day that says βIβm a Nazi.β

I have read a number of opinions today that say something like "look every marine gets drunk on shore leave and gets a nazi tattoo" and I just think that excuse isn't really accomplishing what anyone thinks it is

The average American millennial man has been a neocon, a pacifist, a liberal, a libertarian, a communist, a nazi, and I believe now most of us are back around to liberal again. This isn't a defense of platner it's just weird how normal this shit is for guys that age.
i actually donβt think the βaverageβ american millennial man had a nazi phase. itβs not some boys will be boys shit. this makes me side eye you and your friend group, sounds like a personal problem

The crazy thing is that Platner could have absolutely survived the tattoo thing had he gotten it removed/covered up whenever it is that he first learned what it meant, showing him growing and learning and yadda yadda, etc. But instead he just hoped it'd never come up? Come on, dude.

Also girls get pregnant and calling them women because they're pregnant or capable of becoming pregnant is creepy AF. A 12 year old is not a woman, especially by the snappy definition TERFs insist on using.

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.
