Yes! Candidates haven’t declared seats yet (all school board seats are at-large, but have different start and end dates) so it’s unknown who his opponent is.

I have two Labs, one of which is an excellent retriever and the other just kind of lazes around the house and doesn’t even like water. Guess which is which!

_Hamilton_ at the Rodgers, the first performance after Mamdani’s victory. “Immigrants: we get the job done“ got riotous, thunderous applause

But be of good comfort, the mainstreaming of explicit antisemitism is ALSO happening on the right! Equity!

Aha so he does understand that symbols represent ideological affinities

As noted, my only tattoo is explicitly anti-Nazi. Further, I led a platoon of 25 infantry and cavalry paratroopers (some middle class, some working class in origin) and none of them had Nazi tattoos.

One more thing: Many lefties—Sanders among them—act like this is still Vietnam and there really were working-class kids being disproportionately fed into a war machine via a coercive state apparatus.

Platner, like me, was a middle-class kid who chose to serve. We had agency.

This is a remarkable artifact of the way people think about class in America: the idea that if you *own* a farm, you are working class.

“Blackwater let me have a Nazi tattoo“ is maybe not a winning defense?

When people say "rural America" what they actually mostly mean is exurban WHITE America. As this county map of Washington State shows, (most) rural Native reservations and communities are staunchly Blue.

Kinda want to brag, as a veteran, that my tattoo is explicitly anti-Nazi
