Once people let Mayor Pete’s stint at McKinsey slide, I think it was only a matter of time until we wound up with a Blackwater Democrat.

Like many of us, I’ve been pointing out the straight line from β€œwe hate trans folks” and β€œwe hate immigrants” and β€œwe hate brown people” to β€œwe hate Jews” for a while now. 3500 years of history makes it kinda obvious.

I DO NOT understand why people keep pushing this guy. If the Dem party is so hard up for candidates that they are gaslighting us to platform an actual Nazi then that version of the party needs to be razed and rebuilt from scratch

i’m about to turn 39 and if i had a dime for everytime i accidentally got a Nazi tattoo, wound up on a Nazi podcast, retweeted a Nazi and made Nazi posts on Reddit, I would have ZERO DIMES.

I recognize that my resignation to antisemitism is very sad to hear but, like, I just know what reality is.

He’s polling way out ahead of Collins so yeah

Honestly it’s not even the antisemitism that gets me because plenty of Democrats are antisemites. It’s the fact that BLACKWATER MERCENARY isn’t even part of the conversation. Like β€œprogressive” just shrugging at BLACKWATER MERCENARY are fucking weirdos with no defined values they will stand behind.

Perfect may well the enemy of the good but Platner is neither perfect nor good. he is a Nazi so he is actually both evil and bad

I really admit I miss the days when there's be maybe a 5 hour gap between "this guy has a Nazi tattoo" and "this campaign has become very hard on my family and I believe I need time to reflect"

β€œPurity test perfect is the enemy of good” assholes about to be in my mentions I’ll just do one reply that can apply to all of you at once: GET FUCKED.

There's this idea in America that people always deserve a second chance. I have mixed feelings about that, but what I strongly believe is "Maybe your life shouldn't be ruined, but if you've fucked up severely you do not deserve to be in the highest halls of power".

It is absolutely fucking exhausting it is even more exhausting that the left is REGULARLY like β€œeh antisemitism is fine”.

Even if Platner isn’t an antisemite (he absolutely is), if your judgement is so fucking bad that you REGULARLY do an antisemitic whoopsie because it has never occurred to you to just fucking look something up then you ARE NOT FIT FOR OFFICE.

Did you know that the bees that need saving are NOT honeybees?

Honeybees are the dairy cows of bees. People brought them over from Europe to make us honey.

The problem with honeybees, esp in resource-limited ecosystems (like hey! cities!) is that they compete with our native bees for food.

The day I discovered there were SHINY GREEN BEES was a memorable one for me!

Ok #bugsky and #invertebrate lovers, let’s post some gorgeous native bees to boost this excellent thread

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney β€” a former editor at The New York Times β€” details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

i'm exited for the inevitable video of Graham Platner throwing a Sieg Heil and all his defenders claiming he was waving at his mother

LOL that makes sense. My dad only uses speech to text for that exact reason.

I tried to tell y’all 4 months ago that I truly felt Platner was a Nazi

01.03.2026 19:14 β€” πŸ‘ 282    πŸ” 44    πŸ’¬ 9    πŸ“Œ 0

I have 0 fucking respect for anyone who defends Platner.

How many accidental Nazi whoopsies does one white man need to make for other people to recognize he’s a goddamn nazi

01.03.2026 19:08 β€” πŸ‘ 331    πŸ” 103    πŸ’¬ 9    πŸ“Œ 4

It is genuinely incredible watching people brush off Nazi incident after Nazi incident with Platner

JUST ADMIT YOU DON’T THINK BEING A NAZI IS DISQUALIFYING

At this point I’m just like….well….what’s one more violent antisemite in Congress when there’s already so many.

The β€œNazi tattoos are fine” people are one hundred percent going to find a way to defend this.

This is a great time to be a member of both Jewish and Muslim communities, man. People are super normal about both, everyone's very normal about each other. Normality everywhere you look
