The notion that an authentic working class party must embrace Nazi iconography?

That's some of the most insulting shit I've ever fucking heard.

You've deliberately conflated "blue collar" with "nazi scum" so fuck you.

The New England Journal of Medicine and the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy will be publishing regular public health alerts to replace the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, which has been paused due to the federal government shutdown.

Reposting this and will do so until 11/4.

A Fish Called Wanda.

As I was getting off the bus, in my Jays jersey, a guy walking past me, also in a Jays jersey, points at me and shouts “JAYS!!!!” and I shouted back “JAAAAYS!!!” and we high fived and it was fantastic.

I love sports for moments like this.

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.

at some point they have to find a better way to do gender than “men today are worried they might experience a consequence or inconvenience; how can democrats expect to win them back if I, a man, experience a consequence or inconvenience”

School boards are where maga infiltrate first. VOTE! There are voter guides for states to get the details on candidates.

Food banks won't have the capacity to meet the need that will arrive in Nov.
Please consider supporting your local food bank if you can.

Pastor who raged about kids seeing Pride flags arrested for child abuse - LGBTQ Nation Silas H. Shelton has been accused of abusing his religious authority to groom a teenage girl.

The pattern of "religious" men abusing children is real and documented. It's infuriating that LGBTQ+ people bear the brunt of moral panic rhetoric while the actual harm to children is coming from the very people doing the loudest screaming about "protecting" them. #NotADragQueen

Every article I have read about Andrew Windsor today has finished with National Child Abuse and Suicide Helpline numbers.
Let that sink in.

I guess where I’m landing is less “oh no he’s a Nazi” and more “I just went through this shit with Fetterman and Sinema and a six year term is too long for me to take on faith that your Nazi tattoo was the accident but what you’re saying now is the truth.”

In light of new information, I, uhh, withdraw my objection to the 77 year old white lady who does *not* have a Nazi tattoo on her chest.

I will be submitting all relevant forms to the bureau of retractions and submit for my flogging.

Middle-aged (why do I always start my description with that?) man with short blond/gray hair and beard, wearing a yellow shirt and navy bow tie, holding up a copy of the book "Dead in the Kitchen," the Official Grateful Dead Cookbook, by Gabi Moskovwitz.

Out today: "Dead in the Kitchen." A vegetarian cookbook for Deadheads. By Gabi Moskowitz, with a foreword by @molliekatzen.bsky.social, and a recipe dedicated to Steve Silberman (spring green minestrone). Can't wait to explore it.

“i liked what they had to say at first but changed my mind after i learned more about them” is, like, the most bog standard of normal behaviors for an informed voter that gets you yelled at on social media

How well will values of discoveries from ROADSHOW’s 2009 visit to Phoenix hold up today? Watch "Vintage Phoenix 2025, Hour 2" now or anytime on the @pbs.org app. Link to watch in the comments.

Not everything is terrible. Talked IRL friends into making the civil rights pilgrimage to ALA, to @eji.org and Birmingham and Selma. No Kings demonstration motivated 'em. Cuz this is all backlash to a Black man getting elected president twice.

for people pretending not to understand, the problem with having an SS-style Totenkopf on your chest you got while you were drunk in Croatia is that you never got it covered up. this means either:
—you knew and didn't care
—you have no friends who knew what it meant and cared enough to tell you

Look, folks, he's the *Speaker* of the House, not the Listener of the House or the Watcher of the House.

You can't expect him to be aware of major events that are unfolding right before him.

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.

Also ..

It's a really GOOD thing that people think being a former Nazi is a straight up disqualifier now .

It's good that people upon finding out changed their mind .

It's not "fickle"

That's called discernment

Four Cities, One Dream: WPBL’s First Four Teams Announced The Women’s Pro Baseball League (WPBL) has officially named its first four cities—Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and Boston

A league of her own, coming to Boston!

I'm talking to folks who know the man and folks are feeling blindsided and have questions. I mean, Graham came in strong but some things you can't recover from.

I'm waiting to hear from more folks who know him.

My overall feeling is that while many people make questionable tattoo choices while drunk. But choosing not to get rid of it before a campaign of this magnitude says you might not be ready for the big leagues. The only decision was to get rid of it, and he didn't.
