Police protect capital, not you.

When Republicans say that about their candidates, we rightly call them deranged cultists.

The striking workers our strike kitchens feed disagree. The unhoused we give clothes to disagree. The tenant unions we support disagree.

When I want opinions on the real life organizing I do in my community, I’ll ask the other real life organizers in my community and the community I serve, not some random internet stranger.

I have but I’m a bad public speaker. I do political organizing in real life, including helping run a recurring mutual aid distribution, and that seems a more valuable use of my time than a quixotic vanity challenge.

You’ve studied Nazism at a collegiate level but are asking for a source on what a totenkopf is…?

We keep voting for the lesser evil and then act suprised when candidates keep being evil.

Don’t be MAGA-brained. Politicians with a D after their name can still be criticized.

Not knowing what it is is an obvious lie, sorry. There’s no way the white male millennial soldier that grew up with the History Channel didn’t know what it was. His friends and family have said he knew what it was. He had Reddit posts defending police getting SS bolts and discussing the thematic differences between Totenkopf and Punisher tattoos.

And, honestly, if he genuinely didn’t know what it was, that level of historical ignorance should also be disqualifying.

Genuinely hope I’m wrong about him, but it’s frustrating that Maine couldn’t find a candidate without a Nazi tattoo. Or one that doesn’t go on Nazi podcasts and call themselves long time fans. Or one that didn’t enlist in a war they thought was wrong because they wanted to kill people. Or one that didn’t merc for Blackwater.

I get that one can’t pick their family, but his blue blood parents trying to buy him a mayorship is also wild.
