So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI!
This is truly insane. Total unreality. www.foxnews.com/media/snap-b...

Pregnant women detained by ICE report horrifying treatment: shackling, solitary confinement, no prenatal vitamins, inadequate food. ICE's own directives and regulations require the agency to avoid detention of pregnant people in the first place. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Pregnant women describe miscarrying and bleeding out while in ICE custody, advocates say
The ACLU and other groups are pressing for ICE to identify and release all pregnant women in custody and to stop detaining anyone known to be pregnant, postpartum or nursing.

"It's OK, they were 14" is getting really tired.
After the FBI denied "children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets" in a raid in Wilder, Idaho, the FBI said no "young" children were.
The updated statement came after KIVI-TV sent FBI photo reportedly showing 14-year-old U.S. citizen in zip ties.

Its not that he’s disgusted at the symbol or even its meaning but rather he’s disgusted at the insinuation that he should be associated with having this terrible thing that he chose to get tattooed on this chest that he apparently didn’t look too deeply into.
This reeks of “I’m sorry I got caught.”

I actually don’t find it particularly difficult to draw my personal line at “got a Nazi tattoo and never had it removed” when it comes to who to support politically. Like that seems like a pretty easy call

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.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Anyway if you have a Nazi tattoo it’s true you’re not a secret Nazi. You’re an open Nazi. You literally have a sign that you carry around in your body every day that says “I’m a Nazi.”

The crazy thing is that Platner could have absolutely survived the tattoo thing had he gotten it removed/covered up whenever it is that he first learned what it meant, showing him growing and learning and yadda yadda, etc. But instead he just hoped it'd never come up? Come on, dude.
Graham Platner to @daveweigel.bsky.social:
"How do you expect to win back men when you go back through somebody’s Reddit history and just pull it all out and say: ‘Oh, my God, this person has no right to ever be in politics?’"
DSCC Chair Gillibrand: “It’s up to the voters of Maine to decide.”

Also girls get pregnant and calling them women because they're pregnant or capable of becoming pregnant is creepy AF. A 12 year old is not a woman, especially by the snappy definition TERFs insist on using.

The VERY SECOND!!! I surely wouldn't refer to said symbol by name and keep it on my body.
The minute I find out I unwittingly have white supremacist iconography it’s getting lasered off, if I have to beg for mutual aid to do it, I’m sure folks understand.
even if I was flat broke I would beg or borrow the money to do this.
it would be more important to me than having warm food or a roof over my head .
but then, I'm not a Nazi

I have so many tattoos and yet I have managed to avoid a nazi tattoo.
There is very little accidental nazi-tattoing, as others are pointing out. Tattooers don't tattoo nazi imagery unless they too are nazis. You have to go looking and asking for a nazi tattoo.
