Wasn't that debris being dumped in a public park/golf course?

Listen to this piece by @josephyoo.bsky.social about his autistic son. Afterward, I invite you to substitute "autism" with ANY KIND OF DIFFERENCE from "the norm" -- by which I mean straight white and male. All humans are born masterpieces. Rightwing politics is about distorting that truth.

Good morning to you as well!

Ok, this is a lot. 😮‍💨

But he’s one HUNDRED percent on point both on content and appropriateness of tone.

He does not respect Black people or women. That's all there is to it.

"Bang, Bang liberal you're dead"

This is what a Border Patrol badge had to say to Chris Gentry.

A US Veteran, who was peacefully protesting.

Moments later the Gestapo unleashed chaos upon hundreds of peaceful protestors in Chicago.

Are we great yet?🫣

Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_ BREAKING: Per four senior DHS & Trump admin sources, a mass removal of ICE leadership around the country is underway, with up to 12 ICE field office chiefs being removed & reassigned in an effort to increase deportation numbers. I'm told the move is spearheaded by Corey Lewandowski, and a handful of the ICE Chiefs will likely be replaced by Border Patrol & CBP officials, some of whom will be hand-picked by aggressive & controversial Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino. I'm told some of the ICE leadership removed from their positions include the ICE Field Office Directors in: - Los Angeles - Phoenix - Philadelphia - Denver - El Paso - San Diego - Seattle/Portland - New Orleans Border Patrol officials taking over ICE leadership positions would be extremely significant, as Border Patrol and ICE do different things, and I've done numerous ride-alongs/embeds with both.

Generally speaking, ICE typically conducts very targeted operations, largely going after criminal illegal aliens or those with deportation orders, but almost always knowing who they are targeting for arrest, often conducting surveillance to learn their schedules before and waiting hours before arresting them if needed. Border Patrol, under Trump 2.0, while sometimes doing their own targeted operations, has been extremely aggressive and has been at the forefront of some of the most controversial immigration enforcement operations we've seen so far, carrying out roving patrols in Los Angeles, Chicago, etc, often at Home Depot, car washes, flea markets etc, leading to a handful of federal judges around the country issuing injunctions against them. A majority of the viral videos you see online are Border Patrol agents, including the use of a Trojan horse style Penske moving truck at a Los Angeles Home Depot, an operation organized by Bovino. ICE often gets blamed for what Border Patrol does, as the media and activists often cannot tell the difference between federal agents, and everyone is called "ICE". I'm told there are growing concerns about the political and PR fallout associated with some of the roving patrols Border Patrol is conducting as lawsuits continue to stack up and mid-terms approach next year.

I'm told there is significant friction within different wings of DHS and the administration, with Border Czar Tom Homan & ICE Director Todd Lyons preferring to prioritize targeting criminal aliens & the "worst of the worst" or those with deportation orders, while DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Corey Lewandowski, and BP Commander Bovino prefer to use aggressive tactics to arrest anyone in the US illegally, including but not limited to criminals, to ramp up deportation numbers and achieve President Trump's promises of mass deportations. I am hearing from both sides of this friction. One senior DHS official tells me: "ICE started with the worst of the worst, knowing every target they are hitting, but since Border Patrol started in LA in June, we've (DHS) lost our focus, going too hard, too fast, with limited prioritization. It's getting numbers, but at what cost?". Border Patrol agents I've talked to defend their tactics, with one telling me: "What did everyone think mass deportations meant? Only the worst? Tom Homan has said it himself, anyone in the US illegally is on the table."

It's quite a situation, as both sides of this are on the same team, with the same end goals, but different perspectives on how to get there. Another DHS official confirmed the personnel changes to me on deep background, adding that the moves are based on performance and doing what is needed to achieve the best results. Official statement to @FoxNews via @TriciaOhio : "While we have no personnel changes to announce at this time, the Trump Administration remains laser focused on delivering results and removing violent criminal illegal aliens from this country." 7:57 PM · Oct 27, 2025 · 29.6K Views

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.

Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

This would be inconceivable, were it not true.

A relative told me she was looked at suspiciously when she went into the women's restroom at her own niece's wedding a few months ago, because she's a bit butch looking. Our gay (and trans) family and friends are not safe.

Trying very hard to bring us back to the the 1950's, with white cis straight men controlling everything.

Mamdani did this without tacking to the center by accepting republican framing and throwing marginalized people under the bus or even apologizing for being socialist; something that party operatives who actually want to win might learn from.

Well, Bezos is hardly a paragon of integrity.

"not a perfect man." Just a Nazi admirer and a racist. Yes, we should have more of those in the government.

You're ignoring the fact that he did know about it, maybe not when he got the tattoo, but for years after that, and he did not remove it. That is undisputed. Then there are his racist remarks. All ok with you, apparently. Do you think you are not supporting a bigot?

His character is severely lacking.

Do you know what the word "fascist" means?

There are comments in those posts that are racist (Black people don't tip) homophobic (using a slur) and in which he doubts the veracity of women who were sexually assaulted. Once he knew what the tattoo was, was he appalled? Nope, he kept it AND he drank shirtless in public, so not ashamed.

Platner's not it. The tattoo that he himself referred to as a totenkopf, the slurs vs. gay men, the comment re: Black people not being good tippers, the doubting of sexual assault victims.

Thank you!

Very disturbing that some Democrats think a Nazi tattoo is excusable. No core values. All transactional.

The lengths people will go to, to excuse bias in white men. Astounding.

Fuck off. Signed, a Jew.

Yes it does. Every time. Yet people still cling to the notion that Republicans are fiscally conservative and Democrats are the "tax and spend" party.
