Graham Platner posted about how he stood up for trans kids before running for office.... with a Video from May 2025... like dude.... thats insulting

I know there might not be a way to describe the ball room without sounding judgmental but "the $400 million project has often seemed like an obsession for the President distracting from all other priorities" is a lot closer to true.

I've said before, but you give your time to a campaign you do it with someone in your heart so when your feet hurt and you split your knuckles knocking you keep going. In 2022 for Mills' re-elect it was my nephew who's trans to make sure he was always safe in my house.

This Trans Day of Visibility, we celebrate the bravery and resilience of the trans community. Every person deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, and to live their life fully and honestly.

you know it REALLY is something that even I, a full time Graham Platner hater, can learn something new shitty about him is CRAZY I did not know that Platner had a DUI, Graham Platner there's ALWAYS MORE!

YIKES! 😬🤮

so Track AIPAC is really a former Oil lobbyist who worked for Ron Paul and lives in Germany now.... I mean.... it all just smells to high heaven

I was.....9? and at that age it would't have accrued to me a movie in the theater wouldn't be good, it'd be like bad ice cream, you can't imagine you wouldn't I walked out of that movie and something didn't feel right, "was that... bad?"

Reminder to cis allies: if your weepy posts about how much you love trans people are true, you need to vote for and support Democrats even if the trans people you’re friends with are uninformed, dumb people who pretend stringing us up is part of the party platform. Trans lives are safer under Dems

also, just worth saying, he hasn't apologized, he's acknowledged he said it, he's disavowed the views, he's said he's changed, he's said it was a long time ago but he's never said "I'm sorry" or "I apologize" "I was wrong" "I'm sorry to the people I hurt with those words" never.

ironically there is a DC campaign backed by establishment figures here in Maine it's Graham Platner's

I mean its clear naked ass coverage for making a hugely antisemitic caricature a race on Star Trek they also tried to claim that the Ferengi were "Yankee traders" which I'm a Yankee and in no way do they resemble even the negative stereotypes

so St. Patrick's day is March 17th but hey lets dust off an old video the day we get caught taking fistfuls of cash from the health care industry to prove how with it we are.

It's our Constitution. It's our democracy. We have no kings.

I've learned I'm an establishment plot.

okay so this what I'm talking about when I question Platner's dedication to his current progressive talking points.

White and white-adjacent bros are doing everything possible to destroy the Democratic Party and run every good thing about our overarching values into the ground. Their disrespect for the base of this party is beyond the pale.

the AAA national gas price average is: $3.99 California's average is $5.877 Kansas and Oklahoma have the lowest sharing $3.256

in 1917 Simon Bamberger became the first non-Mormon Governor of Utah, while campaigning an irate Mormon said "I'll never vote for a damn gentile!" to which Bamberger said "as a Jew I have been called a great many things, but this is the first time I've been called a damn gentile" the crowd loved it

it remains mind bending that this story exists and somehow its not huge, if you say "Trump raped a 13 year old" most people in America would roll their eyes and say "now come on thats a little extreme"

there's a generation, actually more one one, of American Jews who believe that Jewish soldiers scarifies in WWII and the world's horror at the Holocaust sealed the belonging of American Jews, that they were no longer Jews, but Americans who happened to be Jewish

which makes it kind of incredible that no one had ever heard of Platner before he decided to run, jeez in my years of campaigning around the state I hadn't ever heard of him, how many doors did he knock in the last election? heck did he vote?

oh goodie welcome to non-sensical Dem bashing with Graham Cracker and David Hogg, does anyone actually understand what Graham is trying to say? I mean the lack of "paper work" is what makes a war illegal? and again he seems far more upset at Democrats for not being anti-war "the right way"

The U.S. Constitution is not a suggestion box. It means due process, equal protection, and the right to free speech.

there are no Democrats who are "Genocide supporters" or "genocide enthusiasts" you cannot find a statement by any elected Democrat that says "I want all those people to die, I'll do whatever to help kill them!" and intent is part of the standard for genocide as a crime btw

I went to the Jewish Museum today for an photo exhibit of Maine Jews, very good

both Wellstone and Franken had long long years of saying their thoughts in a public platform Platner only appears to have started saying his current beliefs since starting his run for Senate, there's no record of progressive involvement much less achievement out of office.

it is wild to have people claim I just don't get the state I live in and its special mysterious ways and then just turn around and claim that Maine's #1 focus is.... Gaza.

there's a conflict in Dem circles over Piker, over Platner, that basically boils down to "Trump means we have to give up everything we stood for and believed in and be terrible if we ever want to win again" vs. "no, we don't"

what happens when you unite behind an experienced, two time statewide winning, candidate....

we should also actually teach history, which is to say that history, the discipline rather than the thing, is about gathering evidence to support a theory of "why happened" rather than what happened. because people need to understand people lie with facts.

I can say with total conviction I had NEVER in my life heard any one say black people didn't tip till Graham Platner said it. and again he STILL! believes it. also as a Jew I've heard a lot of times I don't tip, there's no need for deeper understanding to get thats racist

one thought, speaking of journalism, it doesn't seem to me that anyone, national, or local has done a "I knew him when" style story with Platner, interviewing old teachers, classmates, squad mates, officers, professors, classmates, and bar co-workers and regulars, odd.

The very voters who tend to rescue Susan Collins are the voters Graham Platner may have the hardest time attracting (via Bloomberg Opinion)

people doing the whole "Portland isn't real Maine" in defense of Platner is so fucking funny because 1. that was Paul LePage's line, progressives embracing a Republican talking point good job 2. he's polling best with southern Maine progressives, trash his people to defend him, cool

hey chat is it an establishment cheat to visit the state's 1st, 4th and 10th largest cities to meet voters, then have a campaign event, then go on TV which clearly pales with the authentic hard campaigner strategy of going to a town with 9,000 people and doing nothing else yesterday...

ha ha ha how funny it is to say black people don't tip.... big joke to be racist... ha ha ha, look how progressive it is to say racist shit on Pod Save America.

some whiners are saying somehow Governor Mills setting up her day to go to 3 rallies doesn't count because they were close together. Well yes, all the No Kings rallies happened at the same time the only way to do more than one would be if they're close I guess Graham just couldn't be asked

isn't it funny how the coasts are only ever those parts of the coasts that regularly vote for Democrats? South Carolina for example is "real America" when people talk but not say equally on the East Coast New Jersey

Have you seen this opinion piece-I’m relieved that a member of ME’s Jewish community spoke out: www.bangordailynews.com/2026/03/25/o...

so today, Janet Mills went to 3 No Kings rallies, gave the speech at one, did a campaign event in the afternoon, and ended the day with a TV spot on MS Now Graham Platner did one No Kings rally also telling Janet posed for pictures with people, Platner only posted a video of himself.

Today, Maine people showed up and spoke out against the reckless and unconstitutional actions of this administration. Our message was loud and clear — we won’t be silent, we will stand up, there’s no kings in America.

just compare Janet's urgency and directness to the current Crisis to Grahams vague mumbling about cost of living. someone is worried about fascism and someone isn't

We have no kings.

Today, I launched my “Women for Janet” coalition, a growing group of incredible Maine women and leaders who have endorsed me in this race and who I’m proud to fight beside. I have always fought for our freedoms and rights, and I always will.

While Janet Mills did 3 No Kings Rallies today, Platner seems to have done one? somewhere? to not mention Trump and spend most of his speech attacking Democrats for "DC campaigns" all in front of like 25 people....

Portland isn’t going to just stand by as the President takes a wrecking ball to our Constitution — and neither am I. Maine is speaking up and fighting back.

Proud to be out with everyone in Westbrook today making our voices heard. Together, we’re going to hold this administration accountable. Our democracy belongs to us.

its amazing to me how cooked by the idea of "fight" that people break out into full gender melt down when people point out the point of a protest is to raise awareness and sympathy for the cause
