Wake up, babe! New Bluesky Bio just dropped!

Bumping this again. If Platner wrecks Maine, we gotta win a bunch of tossup seats to take back the Senate. Here's a way to back a bunch of real contenders with just a click or two!

Graham Platner’s claim that the Democratic Establishment conspired to destroy his candidacy is the only good thing I’ve heard about the Democratic Establishment in months.

YOU GUYS: I just put up this week’s new animation preview video to my Patreon for all $1 and up supporters! Yes: $1/month gets you EXCLUSIVE weekly animation that no one else will get to see until at least 2027. Wow! Help support the most indie filmmaker around! #filmsky patreon.com/scottbateman

The NYC ICE Sightings Hotline (229-304-8720) is back online. Call or text 6AM–8PM daily to report ICE sightings in NYC. Share this number while canvassing. For status updates, legal resources, and more, visit nychotline.net.

Reposting to remind everyone that there's a 2D version of masculinity that needs to be constantly interrogated.

Somehow, Susan Collins got her hands on a One Wish Willow.

Here's an idea. Put this asshole on a desert island with Carville, give them each a pointed stick and let nature take it's course.

Look at least the people who voted for Fetterman can be mad that he turned on the party because he actually held office before and had a voting record. The Platner supporters who almost handed him a Senate seat were taking the word of Ryan Grim and the Pod Save team that this guy was a progressive.

you want to go to a fucking Marriott in Omaha to see Graham Platner, Russell Brand, and Gina Carano? you will have that option, I promise.

folks, we’re never getting rid of this guy. there’s a right wing grievance machine that’s going to scoop him up. he’ll be headlining grifter events for a few years. there will be podcasts. the only good news is that the machinery of all that seems to be stunted post-Orban.

Hi. So your boy needs a kidney & I’m officially on the #transplant list. Please share this as it would mean a lot to me to get a living donor.

The greatest bit of plausible deniability outside the Nixon Administration.

I had the same reaction to Platner after the Nazi Tattoo that I did to friends saying they were going to vote for Jill Stein. "That is a terrible idea and you need to rethink your life". And both times, I was right about it being a bad idea while totally underestimating how bad it would be.

Thread.

None of the participants are surprising but the aftermath of the Platner revelations are making this an all-time week for Dudes Telling On Themselves.

Like, “Don’t say anything that’s going to complicate things. We need to migrate our whole government off of Microsoft Office and onshore our cloud storage first, not to mention standing up our own satellite communications system, just to be safe.”

I think they wish it, too. But there’s an awful lot of emergency groundwork that needs to be done to pave the way for an orderly (for them) withdrawal, without giving him reason to single any of them out for “punishment” along the way.

Read my latest:

I've become obsessed with this synthpop group The Dreameaters. Everything they do sounds so poppy and light, like it was grown in a lab to be as inoffensive as possible to a network TV audience, but then the lyrics are dark af and often Satanic. They're amazing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddCn...

Losing my mind at this Murder, She Wrote promo

Meta is bad and in the long term, progressive groups need to stop relying on Instagram. If you organize with a progressive group, PLEASE encourage them to post everything here as well as IG. Eventually IG will kill our reach. Gotta build up here as well.

Translation: Motherfucker! You have already fucked us once and we are not letting you fuck us again! Go stick your Nazi dick into a wall socket!

Nobody knows how to lie. Nobody can play the game. They do this garbage all the time, roll it out like it’s from the goddamn Central Committee. Same words. You stagger it. Start five days ago. Plant it with a lesser Hill reporter. Then the social media.

Thank you to @donmoyn.bsky.social for owning this and making sure his followers understood the *why* behind the deletion. I mean it when I say that modeling accountability in a genuine way is so important and vital and valuable.

This is possibly the best thing I have read on Bluesky since I joined a few years ago. It is that on-point. What we are observing isn't "polarization", it's "radicalization". This can be applied not just to politics, but also many other things in the public discourse - COVID being one close to me.

Essential reading from Solnit on Platner - but this also absolutely nails the behaviour of the U.K. Labour Party, with its constant pandering to an imagined '[white] working class with legitimate concerns about migration' - when really they're just indulging their own prejudices.

Yes, you were correct. But you were correct TOO EARLY. I was incorrect until the proper moment - right now, long after you - so really I’m the one who got it right. You still suck! ⬆️ From supporting the Iraq War to championing Platner, this has always been a particularly obnoxious form of cope.

there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.

Just a few weeks ago, the @wsj.com published a piece on the Democratic strategist who recruited and vetted Graham Platner, Dan Moraff. www.msn.com/en-us/news/p... An excerpt:
