Not only did this white nationalist dick know his Nazi tattoo was a Nazi tattoo but he quit the Marines to keep it. Can we be done w/him now? I get he's a bluecollar coded white guy & that makes Dem elites cream their jeans thinking they can pull GOP votes but goddamn it's been time to cut bait
Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

Part of me is hoping all of the announcements today are the most brief of cameos, like you're all in a home movie of a house party that plays in the background.
When the choice was him or Oz, Pennsylvanians had the worst of both worlds.
My biggest gripe with RotJ (a movie I love) is the insane rescue plan at the start of the movie. It's fun, it's entertaining, and it makes no logical sense when you lay it out. But the movie's not bad because of it. Most people don't even think about the plan being very bad and dumb.
"...and will vote to abolish the criminal organization known as ICE, prosecuting every member for their crimes against the people." Or else you're just saying things
A new name on the office door doesn’t change the agenda.
I won’t vote to give DHS another dollar while they keep targeting people as guilty before proven innocent based on how they look, their accent, or the job they do.

Strip Law is amazing and Lawbert is iconic. But there's no gifs of Lawbert yet. This is unconscionable.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Los Angeles needs money. Airbnb says the way to get it is to loosen the rules on short-term rentals (STRs). But what if instead the City enforced those rules? This analysis examines the potential role of STRs in generating revenue for the City of Los Angeles. Under the 2018 Los Angeles Home Sharing Ordinance (HSO), it is a violation for a host to list a noncompliant STR and it is a violation for a platform to book a noncompliant STR. Policy enforcement began in late 2019; the citation amounts today are $625 daily per noncompliant listing and $1,250 per noncompliant booking. Noncompliance under the HSO is widespread. During the program thus far, the City has issued $2.1 million in fines, and through the first five years, collected just $472,000-an annualized revenue for those years of $95,000. We find that since 2019 the City could have issued $5.2 billion in citations. If collected, this would have yielded $850 million on average each year.
HSO Noncompliance Creates a Largely Untapped Revenue Stream Amid the threats noncompliant STRs pose to communities and to the housing market, it is important to acknowledge one of the few opportunities they provide: revenue generation. Consider the parking meter: it is simple to comply with well-understood parking rules, but some percentage of people, some of the time, will flout the rules. We do not need to condone these parking violations to appreciate the $133.5 million in fines they contribute to the city's coffers annually.22 Thus far, the widespread HSO noncompliance has been a woefully untapped resource. The 1,374 citations issued by the City represent 0.17 percent of the total 777,145 noncompliant listings and transactions identified in this BNLA analysis. In December 2025 alone, Granicus reported 5,160 noncompliant STR listings with known addresses; yet that same month, DCP reported the issuance of a total of 15 citations-less than one-third of one percent. As a share of the total potential fines of $5.2 billion, the actual fines of $2.1 million represent a mere 0.04 percent.
The total (actual) fine revenue from the first five years of the program came to $472,434-about $95,000 annually.23 For fines issued in 2025, $195,000 has been collected thus far. BNLA finds that potential fine revenue has been $850 million annually.24 Within that yawning gap lies an opportunity for easy, if unfortunate revenue. For the initial years of the HSO, STRs generated an average TOT income of $34 million per year. Fining program noncompliance might have generated income of $70 million-per month. If the City were to start collecting the potential fines from noncompliant listings and transactions today, in two months the City would generate over $95 million, without any voter referendum or change in policy. If the City were to collect a mere five percent of the potential fines for noncompliance, the annual revenue stream ($42 million) would regularly exceed the annual TOT revenue currently generated by STRs citywide ($34 million).
A new Better Neighbors report says if LA started actually enforcing its short-term rentals, the city would rake in $40 to $50 million each month — "more than any measure the city is currently proposing for the ballot to raise revenue."

I couldn't handle that. I can barely handle the armchair experts in my own field, let alone one I'm trying to break into!
I'll stick to StoryPeer and the "screenwriting geniuses" that don't want feedback but praise 😂

Every single fucking mental health professional needs to get loud about it this. I am calling on them ALL to join me in that. If someone has a place to point me for providing support to folks there please let me know. Fuck this
Fascism is not the product of life being too easy. People do not become fairer or more just in their politics because their lives are hard, or because they live in a state of precarity. Come tf on.
For maximum impact, post a paper letter to your MP. Printed & signed in pen is fine. 1 page, 3 short, polite, not copy-paste, points in an envelope to be opened by hand. 90 seconds a letter? 100 letters = 2.5 hours staff time not spent on usual tasks. 1000 letters? Heaped mailbags soon get noticed.
I wish them an evening of exactly that. I want a Triangle of Sadness level dinner.
Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.
I love the implication that Dune Messiah isn't going to look incredible, despite the reality of seeing zero public footage. Media literacy has never been stronger! /s

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is such a spineless stooge. The dude's endless support from AIPAC guarantees we won't see any real action. He WANTS dead Iranians. He doesn't care if we lose American troops to reach that goal. If he believes otherwise, he should say so.
I really wanted this one to read "Send Hepl"

Reporters should ask the administration -- if a foreign power bombed the United States, would they expect the American people to respond by suddenly demanding the Trump administration be removed from power, or would there be a different reaction?
Especially if the bombs had hit a girls' school?
This is a crisis moment, and any Democratic leader who won’t step up should be asking why they’re in the role. The rest of us should be asking why we let them stay there.

So handy to have his major donors at a glance. Makes the entire ghoulish thread make perfect sense. AIPAC probably wrote the words for him.
