Same with Mamdani and so many others. A brown Muslim guy is responsible for a billion others; a white guy like Platner is not even responsible for himself.

Jesus Christ, this. Platner was given the benefit of the doubt despite having a fucking Totenkopf tattoo on his own skin, while many of the same people are demanding El-Sayed answer for any random comment from anyone who supports him.

Proj 2025 focused on deregulating the US Ag Dept. It views regs as “a threat to farmers’ independence & food affordability” & advocates removing “obstacles imposed on American farmers.” It ignores the essential role of regulations to keep our food safe & combat Big Ag’s takeover of our food system.

This is a comment I made some time ago. Interesting how many women instinctively picked up on the very same feeling: I'm a woman who has been on this planet a long time, and right from the beginning Platner creeped me out. "Vibes" is overused these days, but he gives off bad vibes...

Happy Independence Day from fifty years ago... I was in Hummelstown, PA outside Harrisburg. The Bicentennial wagon train came through Main Street, en route to Hershey Fairgrounds where they camped. It was an impressive event; many families participated driving wagons & folks came to cheer them on.
