Quote: I don't condone Platner's nazi tattoo. I can't. Power is power though, and barring a Fettermanesque post-election stroke, Platner is going to caucus with Senate Democrats on every issue, or almost every issue. Susan Collins won't. That's the only reason I hope Platner wins Maine's Senate seat. That's the only reason I need.
Quoted text: What’s striking about these efforts to create an alternate reality isn’t merely the fact that politicians are lying. It’s the fact that they’re lying about a subject in which the truth is more or less literally in everyone’s face every day.

Quote from the article linked: Policies that single out transgender women and athletes with intersex variations do not protect women’s sports. They manufacture a scapegoat while the real challenges to women’s sports go unaddressed: unequal funding, limited access to training and facilities, pay disparities, male-dominated leadership, gender-based violence and harassment across race, sex, sexual orientation and gender identity.

The highest paid state employee in MA is the head coach of a basketball team! What a joke. I bet nobody would guess that, because they’re not even a particularly good basketball team. Would paying a 25-year kid have noticeably worse outcomes?

Bible passage about treating foreigners as citizens displayed on a poster outside St James’s church, Cambridge, MA. “The foreigner who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; You shall love the foreigner as yourself, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.” -Leviticus 19:34 “St. James's [Cambridge, MA] is committed to standing in support of and solidarity with our immigrant neighbors.”
