On the exact same day that Israeli Jewish settlers in the illegally occupied West Bank held a US Congressman at gunpoint with US made rifles, they also attacked a CNN news crew

It's amazing how many folks do not understand that Platner has not stepped aside unless/until he files the paperwork do so. Until then, he's holding the Maine electorate, the capacity of the Maine Democratic Party to name a replacement and potentially the control of the US Senate next year hostage.

just found out that a certain “labor reporter” with a decades-long history of violently harassing women and queer people in the labor movement (myself included) is lurking around on here. If you care about workers and Mike Elk follows you, do us all a favor and block him.

one of the few joys of living through the second trump administration is the arms race between flunkies to determine who can demean themselves in the most humiliating fashion for the approval of an old man who falls asleep when they talk to him

And EVERYBODY said Summer Lee was a hater and a bitch when she was warning people about Fetterman. Now what.

The known story here in Pittsburgh was that he was kicked out because he made a nastily racist and misogynist comment to Lee herself, but sexual misconduct absolutely tracks with complaints from other campaigns he worked on including Lisa Middleman's failed bid for DA. The man is violent scum.

Not an ounce of urgency. That man been gone

“Birds of a feather flock together and Moraff and Platner were predators,” said one woman, who says she was sexually harassed while working to elect Congresswoman Lee.”

Directing Graham Platner’s campaign

the speed at which entitled men who are invading your space and won’t back off go from “what’s up, beautiful” to “wow, fuck you bitch” the minute they are held to even one (1) single boundary is why I am not surprised to see Graham Platner go full Veruca Salt after being denied something

Classic domestic abuser behavior: “If I can’t have you, no one can.”

A lot of people really want this to break down on a left/moderate or old/young axis but it really doesn't, it's ultimately a cosmopolitan/herrenvolk one because the people most aggressively defending him are doing so from the implied understanding that the "soul of America" emanates from white men

A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?

men will really go on the public internet and show more sympathy for a guy who got exposed for being a rapist and domestic abuser than for literally any of his victims

This, from Morocco's run last WC, remains one of my favorite jokes ever.

imagine fucking up this bad

This is still my favorite one

i think this basically nails it. Platner & his team had no idea how to actually campaign in a general [and were running outof cash *in june* as a result] - because they only ever knew how to shit on other dems

Friendly reminder to people on this site that more often than not the milieu around Ryan Grim does its best to confirm that horseshoe theory is a thing

This is.....not true. As self soothing as I'm sure it is to believe. Plenty of feminists clocked who and what he was. Most of Bluesky was not fooled. Who are we talking about www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/o...

Here is a verified gofundme for his family: gofund.me/bf251d4ee

Yes. I reject any framing of the Platner story as "progressive vs establishment" or "left vs center." The opposition to him has always been "he's obviously an unrepentant liar and a bad human being." His claimed policy positions were irrelevant, and he had no track record of believing them anyway.

The ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo deserves the same fury as Renee Good and Alex Pretti

One American antisemitic myth of Jews is that we are all foreigners. Here, a Jewish outlet is promoting that myth to score cheap political points in support of its own Islamophobic agenda. It’s a good example of how Jewish-American Islamophobia is 1) wrong on its own and 2) bad for Jews

Closing out the campaign by railing against a conspiracy of (((media elites))) who stabbed him in the back is a nice way to once again confirm the totenkopf wasn’t a random mistake.

yeah, not all that surprised that a guy who was incapable of taking responsibility for any of his choices or decisions also refuses to take responsibility for this one.

Surprised a guy with a Nazi tattoo is complaining about shadowy forces of corporate and media and monied elites manipulating events behind the scenes

"a corporate media system and the political establishment got to act as judge, jury, and executioner" My dude, this process is a job interview, not a criminal trial

Graham Platner was viciously smeared by Graham Platner when Graham Platner posted bigoted shit under the name Graham Platner and tattooed a Nazi symbol onto poor Graham Platner. This collusion of Graham Platner against Graham Platner is obviously a nefarious conspiracy.

being in the DSA is fun because you get to spend most of your time helping people with social anxiety canvass for democratic school board candidates and then go online to see people with blue wave emojis in their bios compare you to pol pot
