Instead of backing law enforcement, the far left Democrats will put ICE Tracker on their website, making it far more dangerous for ICE agents. They are building tools to target ICE. If this isn’t criminal behavior, it should be. The unhinged Democrats are wasting tax dollars to undermine law enforcement and US sovereignty.

Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner was reportedly aware of the Nazi-affiliation of his skull and crossbones chest tattoo, despite recent claims that he had never faced negative accusations regarding it until he ran for office, according to Jewish Insider. “He said, ‘Oh, this is my Totenkopf,’” an acquaintance recalls Platner telling him at Tune Inn, a Capitol Hill Bar where Platner worked, in 2012. “He said it in a cutesy little way,” the individual said. Platner said at the time that he was aware of what the symbol meant when he got the tattoo, though he has denied knowing the meaning at other times, Jewish Insider reported. Platner has since gotten a new tattoo to cover the symbol, the Associated Press reported Wednesday.

(@PollTracker2024) October 22, 2025 The report came after Platner attempted to explain the tattoo on “Pod Save America” on Monday. “I am not a secret Nazi,” Platner said on the podcast. “Actually, if you read through my Reddit comments I think you can pretty much figure out where I stand on Nazism and antisemitism and racism in general. I would say, lifelong opponent.” Platner, who has been endorsed by Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), further added that he was “very inebriated” on leave in Croatia while on a deployment for the Marines in 2007, and “we chose a terrifying-looking skull and crossbones off the wall” while at the tattoo shop. “We got those and then we all moved on with our lives,” he said.

And I can honestly say that if I was trying to hide it, I have not been doing a very good job for the past 18 years,” Platner continued. Platner has been under fire since a number of his Reddit posts were revealed, including one where he referred to cops as “bastards” and described himself as a “communist.” Axios reported that in a 2020 Reddit post Platner said he had the term “antifa super soldier” on “armor” he owned. His former political director, Genevieve McDonald, who quit just days ago, called him out in a Facebook post in light of the tattoo scandal. “Graham has an antisemitic tattoo on his chest. He’s not an idiot, he’s a military history buff. Maybe he didn’t know it when he got it, but he got it years ago and he should have had it covered up because he knows damn well what it means,” McDonald wrote, The Maine Wire reported. Platner is currently facing Democrat Governor Janet Mills in a primary, the winner of which will face incumbent Sen. Susan Collins, a Republican, in a closely watched 2026 race.

A watchdog organization on Wednesday warned parents across the country about the significant dangers of allowing kids unfiltered access to popular online platforms that could expose them to sexual predators or even foreign terrorist groups.  The American Parents Coalition issued a “Lookout” to parents, encouraging them to be vigilant about what their children have access to. The Lookout, which is texted to parents across the country, comes ahead of a House Oversight Committee hearing where executives from platforms like Discord and Twitch have been called to testify about the “radicalization of online forum users.” “Today’s children are growing up in a digital age where online companionship and community are replacing human interaction at children’s expense,” the Lookout said. “Parents may not be aware that seemingly benign and popular gaming platforms like Discord, Steam, Twitch, and Reddit can expose vulnerable children to radicalized views and extreme content with no guardrails.” American Parents Coalition Executive Director Alleigh Marré told The Daily Wire that it was becoming increasingly important for parents to monitor their kids’ online activity.  “It has been consistently flagged to parents that we need to be really mindful of our child’s online presence, where they’re spending their time, who they’re engaging with,” she said. “And we’ve continued to see the stakes of not doing that grow more and more concerning.” The Lookout highlighted how Discord has come under scrutiny in recent weeks after it was reported that the man suspected of assassinating Charlie Kirk discussed the killing in messages on the platform. It was also revealed that the man who planned to kill Justice Brett Kavanaugh mused about whether “removing” justices from the Supreme Court would “help women.”  Other reports have said that young people have been exposed to materials from foreign terrorist organizations while on Discord. There are also concerns about children being targeted by sexual predators via the platform or encouraged to embrace transgender ideology behind their parents’ backs.  In a statement to The Daily Wire, Discord said that it requires all users to be at least 13 years of age to use the platform.  “We use a combination of advanced technology and trained safety teams to proactively find and remove content that violates our policies,” a spokesman said. “We maintain strong systems to prevent the spread of sexual exploitation and grooming on our platform and also work with other technology companies and safety organizations to improve online safety across the internet.”  The Lookout also pointed to the dangers of kids being exposed to calls for political violence, particularly against conservatives. It highlighted a Reddit thread that was later removed, where users appeared to call for violence against employees of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The thread referred to the DOGE employees as “Muskrat’s DOGE Henchmen.”  The comments were removed by Reddit’s safety teams within one day of being posted, a Reddit spokesman noted. Over 90% of Reddit users are reportedly over the age of 18, according to external market research.  Another platform flagged by the American Parents Coalition was Roblox, an online game platform with tens of millions of users under the age of 13. In the aftermath of the Kirk assassination, the platform removed dozens of game “experiences” after “seeing violative content around Charlie Kirk,” the company said. There have also been concerns about predators targeting children on the platform.  Twitch, a streaming platform, was also noted as a place where children could be exposed to violent political rhetoric and sexual predators. Leftist streamer Hasan Piker was suspended by the platform after comments about killing Florida Republican Senator Rick Scott.  A Twitch spokesman said that the site monitors its channels 24/7 for any youth-safety violations on its platform.  “We continue to increase our investments in youth safety on Twitch, and have developed a number of product interventions that let viewers customize and build the Twitch experience that is right for them – this includes limiting the visibility of content that may not be appropriate for all audiences,” the spokesman said.  The Lookout included a list of general practices parents should take to protect their kids online. Marré said she thinks these tech companies should have a parental board to advise them on best practices.  “These are very powerful technologies with extreme reach and they’re available to anyone,” she said. “There aren’t a lot of barriers to entry. And so when you have a technology like that, it’s all the more important to make sure that the people who are most vulnerable are protected, and I don’t really think anybody does that well.”

Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Tuesday raided New York City’s Canal Street, which is notorious for illegal immigrant crime, as a mob of rioters tried to stop them. Nine African illegal immigrants with lengthy rap sheets were arrested in the operation, Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told Fox News on Wednesday. Their crimes include forgery, drug trafficking, robbery, and assault. Five of them entered the United States illegally and were released thereafter by the Biden administration, the Department of Homeland Security said. “We do these based on criminal intelligence, and that’s what we had,” Lyons said. The protestors who amassed yelled in the faces of ICE agents, calling them Nazis and fascists, according to AMNY. Some anti-ICE rioters attempted to block federal authorities’ vehicles, according to DHS. “We know everywhere we go because of elected officials’ rhetoric against violence on ICE, we have these protests,” Lyons said. Despite the efforts of anti-ICE agitators, the feds plan to double down and make more arrests in the Big Apple, Lyons said. “You will see an increase in ICE arrests because there are so many criminal illegal aliens that have been released in New York specifically and especially that are being harbored in New York for the lack of cooperation there, in New York City. So you will see us making those criminal arrests to make New York safe again.” Join us now during our exclusive Deal of the Decade. Get everything for $7 a month. Not as fans. As fighters.

The sudden death of American Grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky, just 29, has shaken the chess world and sparked intense backlash against former World Champion Vladimir Kramnik, whose repeated, unproven cheating accusations cast a long shadow over Naroditsky’s final months. No cause of death has been publicly disclosed. Widely beloved for his skill, humility, and gift for teaching and inspiring through streaming, Naroditsky — affectionately known as “Danya” — was not only a top chess player but also a vital bridge between the game and its global online audience. His passing has sparked a reckoning within the chess community over harassment, accountability, and the emotional toll of public defamation. The Naroditsky family shares the sad news of Daniel’s unexpected passing. Daniel was a talented chess player, educator, and beloved member of the chess community. We ask for privacy as the family grieves. pic.twitter.com/otNdUxDKtL — Charlotte Chess Center (@CLTchesscenter) October 20, 2025 World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen described the treatment of Naroditsky as “horrible,” placing direct blame on Kramnik’s behavior. “When he started going after Naroditsky so hard — first of all, I don’t think anybody thought Naroditsky was cheating,” Carlsen said. “The way he was going after him was horrible. Seeing how it affected him… it was apparent now.” Carlsen admitted he had supported Naroditsky privately but regretted not doing so publicly. Join us now during our exclusive Deal of the Decade.

It’s very sad for all of us that somebody who was such a resource to the chess community… was led to the place that he was.” Carlsen reflected on his early support for Kramnik’s anti-cheating campaign, saying, “At the start, I didn’t agree with his numbers, but I thought he was kind of fighting the good fight. But it turned on its head.” Indian Grandmaster Nihal Sarin, who played Naroditsky in his final online games, revealed the emotional distress Naroditsky expressed in their last conversations. “He said he was under immense stress due to a lot of accusations, from Kramnik. I can imagine the pain he was going through and the toll on his mental health.” Sarin noted that those close to him defended him when Kramnik accused him of cheating, making his experience much easier than Naroditsky’s. “Not as many people could be so vocal in supporting Naroditsky,” he said. Sarin believes the campaign of false accusations “literally took a life.” He recalled their final games: “Our last few games felt very abnormal… It was like he was just freezing. I was worried… and then I did not see him online again. The next day, I heard the news.” World No. 2 Hikaru Nakamura, a friend and fellow streamer, did not hold back: “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Kramnik can go f*** himself. He can go f*** himself and go rot in hell.” Nakamura and others have voiced outrage over Kramnik’s relentless online crusade, which, beginning in 2024, accused dozens of players of cheating, often based on flawed statistical analyses. Naroditsky, known for his honesty and transparency, was deeply affected. In a December 2024 Twitch stream, Naroditsky acknowledged the campaign was breaking him down: “I don’t think I’m good. I don’t think I’m thick-skinned enough to say, honestly, that that hasn’t been affecting me at all. I’ve been nice and civil and courteous to this army of troglodyte lowlifes for way too long. I’m really sick of it.” He later described Kramnik’s campaign as “a sustained, evil and absolutely unhinged attempt to destroy my life.” The World Chess Federation (FIDE) has said it is formally reviewing Kramnik’s actions. CEO Emil Sutovsky confirmed the organization is “looking into” the attacks against Naroditsky. British champion Jovana Houska welcomed the investigation, warning against “trial by social media.” Naroditsky was more than just a grandmaster — he was a coach, commentator, and role model. The Charlotte Chess Center called him “admired and respected by fans and players around the world.” His Twitch and YouTube channels reached hundreds of thousands of viewers, making chess accessible to a new generation. As the chess world reels from this tragedy, many now echo the same message: this must never happen again. As Sarin put it: “When respected figures spread unfounded allegations without accountability, real lives are destroyed.”
