If I had to come up with the last thing Democrats should be spending political capital on in the current environment I think it would be arguing Nazi symbolism is negotiable.

As is always the case with this nostalgia crap, "what they took from you" was the feeling of being 12, not any actual thing in the past. (Also, those 1960s, 1970s cars were deathtraps compared to modern vehicles)

They are obsessed with identity politics and yet screaming that everyone else is and it's extremely funny.

How many Republicans objected to a Trump nominee with an acknowledged "Nazi streak"? Four (4).

It's really OK to change your mind when new facts are presented. It really is.

If being against a guy with a Nazi tattoo makes me a purist I guess I'm an anti-Nazi purist. If you think that makes me an anti-Nazi single issue voter, you're wrong, but also it's a pretty good single issue. There is more than a year. Go get another real progressive who doesn't have a Nazi tattoo.

Remember when Jessica Ramos endorsed Cuomo and overnight multiple progressive groups removed her from their endorsement lists and everyone immediately forgot her name? That's what should happen to Platner, imo.

So those of you who understand the but but Platner but but he's all we have arguments ARE FUCKING STUPID but feel this way about Gavin Newsom

Fucking Winklevii

but thanks, trump voters. I hope you are happy with your choices, to the extent that your tiny pea brains are capable of comprehending any of this.

A pig, on TV, or Tiffany gets it. (Because we live in such a stupid timeline, I must clarify: This is a Black Mirror reference, not a threat.)

the thing is that even if - through some absolutely absurd, farcical set of circumstances I can’t even conceive - an innocent person did accidentally end up with a tattoo they only learned later was a Nazi symbol, the only appropriate response is “holy shit get me to the laser removal clinic TODAY”

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year. In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

Is the WPBL team from New York gonna be the Mets or Yankees or the league? I'd like to root for NY but ...

Maybe he was just a big fan of The Man in the High Castle on Prime. (No, not the book. He didn't read that.)

Every “The White House says…” news story should now be written “What remains of the White House says…”.

HEY EVERYONE READ THIS THREE TIMES

This ultimately ends with a right-wing billionaire buying it and pushing CNN to the hard right

im fine with nazi tattoos being disqualifying. im just not really afraid of losing any worthwhile babies with that bathwater

Too many people are VERY comfortable putting people in positions of power who hold bigoted views. Idk if it's because you also hold bigoted views or if you're just comfortable that those views won't affect YOU, but it's wild to see "no bigots" reduced to "purity test." Either way, no.

I beg you to understand that people lie

Jesus Harold Methuselah Franklin Christ I am so over Bernie. What a fucking stupid time to be alive

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.

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

It’s a fucking Nazi tattoo people. Like what are we doing here. Take the tweet you’re writing and read it aloud while looking at yourself in a mirror. Seriously go do that. The fuck is wrong with you

folks, he's done it again

"the president is literally stealing $230 million of taxpayer money to pay himself and knocking down a wing of the white house in order to build a giant ballroom" I dunno I feel like staggering levels of corruption could still be an effective campaign message

Saturday: No Kings! Awesome vibes! This is the direction we can move in! Today: “Dems vote to approve King’s choice for judgeship”

really did not expect to hearing about nazis all the time in 2025 was just not something i considered tbh

Planter has a Nazi tattoo and that wasn't their LEADOFF with why he shouldn't run? My god I hate everything

“.. They are the asylum seekers, the rule followers. They go into the federal building holding papers .. hoping for a measure of due process. Some leave the courthouse with a hearing date set months or years from now. Others disappear into ICE’s prison system.” @nymag.com nymag.com/intelligence...

after I picked up my kid from school today I got a message from the school saying they couldn't do much work since Amazon was down and also they couldn't tell us that they couldn't do much work since Amazon was down, since Amazon was down

Holy shit. Game 7 between the Jays and the Mariners just ran an pro-free trade ad, targeted to American workers, decrying tariffs. The twist being that, if you don't catch it beforehand, Ronald Reagan is revealed as the speaker in the closing seconds. What PAC is this? The Province of Ontario.

shocked to learn that the president lied about this and also this is a horrible defacing of a building that belongs to the people of the United States, not donald trump

I am a prison abolitionist and yet... you have my vote.

our "smart" coffee machine at work is broken today. I made a joke about it being related to the AWS outage but then we looked in the back and it's plugged into ethernet

"Heard a lot of talk about this Jesus A man of love, and a man of strength But what a man was two thousand years ago means nothing at all to me today"

the truth is that this isn't a theocracy and jesus isn't my fucking king

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇 Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it. Our new @rollingstone.com piece based on our new book MASTER PLAN. Get the book at LeverNews.com/book

if i was camping and somebody came into my tent and started telling me that trans people don't deserve rights I'd toss their ass out into a ditch. what's the matter with you

I spend a year plotting a mystery novel and then this happens.

Laws without consequences, and the Constitution is after all just the supreme law, have no force. You have to enforce them. There has to be punishment for violating them. It needs to be a real disincentive and warning to others. That's what law is, the application of the state's monopoly on force.

The Guardian is reporting that since Israel and Hamas signed the ceasefire and full hostage exchange agreement, Israel has violated the ceasefire 47 times, killed 38 Palestinians, and wounded another 143 more. Meanwhile Hamas has released all remaining hostages. It Was Never About The Hostages.

Heard about the Louvre jewel heist and my first thought was “finally, some good old fashioned normal crime”

Those Cloud With Google AI commercials are actually a perfect example of how AI is a sham. They sound like real stats but they're garbage. Slugging percentage based on how often you tap the plate with your bat? Comebacks before and after the rally cap? Completely worthless "stats" nobody wants.

The largest mass protests by number of participants in US history happened yesterday and the only mention on the front page of the NYT is Jamelle Bouie's opinion column: no diner-diving for sentiments of the unheard masses, no coverage of the Trump video, no sense for what it says about the moment.

Sorry. A one ton pumpkin cannot be moved by two guys and a monkey.

they are so close to understanding the entire point of trade

Why does this graphic scream Star Trek to me except for the title? Like, visually, not the names necessarily.
