In February, after walking back its DEI policies, Target posted a Black History Month video which set the wheels in motion for boycotts; which led to decline of foot traffic and sales; which led to decline in revenue and stock price; which led to ouster of CEO; which led to 1800 corp jobs eliminated

A developer wanted a pure, white building. It's one of the tallest residential buildings in the world. But it has a cracked facade along with stress from the wind. The layers of meaning are so apparent that a child could dissect 'em. www.curbed.com/article/432-...

Not gonna lie. When I see Bernie Sanders is all in on someone, I gotta do a double take cause I don't trust that man's judgement AT ALL.

We have just over two weeks to pass Prop 50. And when we do, it will send a message of hope across the country, that change is possible if we do the work. So, let’s get to it. linktr.ee/cadem

Updating my LEGO White House

Phew managed to make it another day without getting a nazi tattoo. It’s hard out here. Just nazi tattoos roaming the streets attaching themselves to people. Stay woke

NBC News finds that: -- ICE has shortened its training from 13 weeks to six. -- Nearly half of recruits couldn’t pass an open-book written exam. -- Recruits "are supposed to attest" they can pass the physical-fitness test, which requires them to run ... 6 mph. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

The excusing of the isms... I just cannot with some of you. And why weren't you all out marching before now? Oh right. Because now shit is gettin' real since it's now happening to you. Got it.

protesting was awesome. now it's time to make sure we take this energy to the ballot boxes in New Jersey and Virginia. Mike Sherrill and Abigail Spanberger are on the top of the tickets and would make excellent governors. vote blue all the way down. talk to your friends and family. let's win.

No, we ALL are collectively as white people cause white people are the only ones white supremacists listen to. We don't choose to be born cogs in the machine of white supremacy, but we ARE cogs for that machine until it is dismantled. By us. Cause we benefit whether we like it or not.

Even more importantly, how many LIKE-MINDED White Women are you engaging with to ensure they are registered and know to get out and vote EVERY ELECTION (not just every four years) to vote for every Democrat they can (even if they have to hold their nose) to help get us out of this?

How many white women who vote for Republicans or who voted for Trump have you engaged with to try and persuade them to NOT vote for their own subjugation, to NOT vote for predators and corruption and criminality? This is a problem White People need to fix.

This reaction of yours is part of "White Supremacy", you know that? Where every White Person must be a rugged individual never lumped in with anyone, while everyone else always gets lumped in. Learn to distinguish between comments about a "Demographic" and comments about YOU. We know it's "Not All"

Yall…A guy with a Nazi tattoo is not a Democrat. I don’t care what he says. No one can be old enough to get a tattoo like that, and still change enough to be welcome in our tent. I’m sorry. This is the purity test I will die on. HE STILL HAD IT UNTIL THEY FOUND HIM OUT.

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.

THIS. Bernard is also not a Democrat.

"No Kings' seems like an attempt for white America to figure out something about itself, namely the relationship between whiteness, white supremacy and democracy. ... many [Black people] just refuse to make ourselves available to spell out this relationship for the umpteenth time."

Bernard is criticizing MVP for her presidential campaign. But he has ran for president and not even gotten the nomination how many times???? And she ran a brilliant campaign. She's not the problem.

Stefanik endorsed, campaigned, and fundraised for George Santos.

Nancy Reagan hovering over Trump’s bed would actually be on point for Nancy Reagan though. I mean, I doubt she had any scruples over whom she throat-goated.

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

The issue is that this country doesn't take women's anger seriously and takes ethnic and religious minorities anger as an existential threat. So all we get are white dudes who can portray anger politically. And white dudes just don't have the range in this moment. Ain't no Roosevelts in this pool.

I just feel if you're gonna tout yourself as being a different kind of Democrat that rails against AIPAC and Schumer & Co., at least have your shit together and that includes NOT having a Nazi tattoo.

look if everybody you know had a nazi phase, you grew up with nazis end of

all of these people would do well to learn something about “cheap” and “costly” grace. no one is saying that platner is irredeemable, but that some things are a bridge too far for someone seeking a public trust. if he feels truly contrite, he can work on himself and his community and try again.

this also drives me insane, this idea that it is the most normal thing in the world for a young (white) man to have a nazi curious phase. it isn’t!

yeah it is not “liberal censoriousness” to think that you shouldn’t nominate the guy without the sense to not get a nazi tattoo and then not remove it

If people affiliated with the campaign have to fall back on stuff like this in October in the year prior to the election, you're toast, pack it in.

Also, Platner is approximately my age. I grew up reading Maus, watching Schindler's List, learning about Anne Frank. I was surrounded by media that hated Nazis! If we're a similar age and you had a Nazi phase, at best you did not pay attention and at worst you were just a Nazi.

I love when white people suddenly start exposing how many white supremacists they surround themselves with by pretending it's a normal, universal experience.

statements like "half the marines I know have tattoos like that" "the average millennial had a Nazi phase" just expose your social circles lol

There was a 48 hour period on tiktok where the youth were being propagandized to support Osama bin Laden... there were facts... but no context.... If you believe professors are simply human fact machines... you are severely misunderstanding Comprehension and cognition...

Following up, it looks like movement is being made for me to actually meet with Platner. Should it happen, I'll keep folks posted and definitely come with questions and concerns. I'll hold off on an official follow-up piece until then. The beauty of Maine is that this is a small state, connections

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.

Several days ago, I wrote a piece on Graham Platner in the aftermath of the reddit posts coming to light. I spoke with mutual folks we know, who all said, "Hey, he's a good guy." Waking up to discover he has a Nazi tattoo on his chest was a gut punch. Like, who is he?

i mean the MAIN headline is bad enough but the subhead really finishes the job

Jewish Insider just sent out an email with an article with more Platner info. And yeah, this guy is DONE done.
