i believe in all the same policies and values as platner and his defenders *and* i also believe it’s important to actually live those values and that somehow makes me an idiot? no. fuck that. i don’t accept those terms.

Pretty amazing Hegseth is still doing his "woke brown wussies lose" bit after handing Iran the Strait of Hormuz, perhaps the fastest and most decisive military defeat by a superpower in superpower history.

Ugggghhh. Deleted my repost of that "Running out of money" article because:

that article is sponsored content for a gold company

like i said, men in media defending this shit: your women colleagues see what you’re doing and won’t forget.

It sounds crazy, but I guess when somebody tells you their only mistake was a Nazi tattoo, its possible they actually made a series of other mistakes that did not happen to produce a Nazi tattoo.

Abolish ICE.

Your timeline has been visited by Swishy Pizza Wolf. You will have a good weekend.

Keep seeing people say that the woman accusing platner of domestic violence isn't credible because she's involved in republic politics. Here's what she wrote about him in 2016, about a decade before platner had any political salience:

Really cool that Zeteo went mask off to defend the Nazi Tattoo guy and say this all a Jewish conspiracy. Holy shit. Maybe Medhi can go back on Twitter and complain about woke Bluesky now lol

It appears Platner’s own words and actions are a Jewish conspiracy

Graham Platner: - Worked for Blackwater - Expressed support for war crimes in Iraq and enjoyed trolling antiwar liberals - Had a Nazi tattoo - Voted multiple times for Susan Collins - Dated a right wing activist - Described himself as a fan of extremist podcasts - Promoted an antisemitic podcast

This is obviously very embarrassing framing from Zeteo. But also *perhaps* the fact Graham Platner was dating a right wing activist is *yet another* indication of his comfort in that area before he suddenly declared himself a progressive.

The United States government is occupied by an ignorant, bigoted, anti-American ideology of white nationalism. It will need to be scoured.

The term “feud” should henceforth be restricted to rappers and backwoods family dynasties. A criminal who doesn’t want to follow the law is not “feuding” with law enforcement.

a huge part of Democrats 2018 win was suburban women who had been legacy Republican voters disgusted by Trump and his sexism wins in 2026 will rely on suburban and exurban college educated women, as well as in key races (Georgia, NC, Texas) high turnout from black voters Platner Is a problem.

there's a real feeling of like...if a man did something horrible to me or someone i know that guys like this just wouldn't fucking care

A lot of people certainly seem relieved—liberated, even—to no longer have to pretend to care about violence against women.

Anyone who disagrees with me is in a bubble too

Again you are not actually allowed to shove ladies in closets and hold them there no matter how many times you invoke 'the Democratic HR class'

I love that the woman being a republican operative is somehow discrediting for her and the fact that Platner was dating a right wing operative is not at all discrediting for him

The US hard left want to point to a 19 year old Azov soldier with a neo-Nazi patch on his uniform and condemn an entire country to destruction in response, then look at a 41 year old ex-Blackwater mercenary with a Totenkopf tattooed on his chest and elect him into high office.

The thing about the left needing a positive vision for masculinity to counter the right is … they don’t have one either. Their whole thing is “don’t be a woman” as arbitrarily defined by whatever they consider feminine. Apparently some people find this admirable and wish to imitate it

I simply would not attempt to make the rape-enthusiast serial liar SS tattoo edgelord failson who cheats on his wife the face of the anti-Israel movement.

NYT headline when the economy added 266,000 jobs under Biden vs. NYT headline when BLS says the economy added 172,000 jobs under Trump.

people who can take action here are Warren, Sanders, Murphy, Gallego. They were big endorsements for Platner. They could join with others in the party, say they've lost faith in him, and encourage people to rank other candidates first.

now look, Hunter Biden also hurt his family pretty deeply and cheated on his partners, but if there's one thing we can be absolutely certain of at this stage, roughly 1000 nude videos later, is that he does not have any Nazi tattoos.

One thing the whole Platner situation reveals is that a whole lot of supposedly progressive pundits and politicians would have been much better served if they actually WERE ensconced in the supposed Bluesky bubble, 'cause everyone I know on here had this clown figured out from the get-go.

It's worth remembering that David Ellison, the man who set Bari Weiss on her mission to destroy CBS News, also has the broadcasting rights to Trump's UFC White House slopfest. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Personally I would not try to make the SS tattoo guy into a martyr for the anti-Israel movement, especially given the number of successful candidates who can make this case and *aren’t* abusive serial liars.

“There may be.” FFS. Forget the flags. I have a literal masters degree in public health, I’m an actual union leader (in my second term as chapter president,) I’m a college professor, and a reproductive health advocate. And people are quibbling over if he abused his exes enough to be disqualifying.

Since Israel's genocide in Gaza, I have worked to convince my Jewish family that anti-Israel politics is not all antisemitism and is in fact justified at this moment in time, with some success. Making a guy with a Nazi tattoo the face of anti-Israel politics in the US makes that job so much harder.

Let’s be clear, because I see a lot of people glossing over this. These allegations are of domestic abuse and physical violence. You could get an order of protection based on these allegations. Domestic abuse isn’t about “hitting,” it’s about using violence and coercion to control your partner.

A *LOT* of folks I otherwise respect showed pretty spectacularly bad judgement of character with Platner. Just something to remember. Not necessarily in a vicious way, but in a situational awareness and note-to-self kind of way.

You, surely not a sucker: This guy who lied about his Nazi tattoo is on my side and will vote how I want

Wait, the Nazi Tattoo guy was *also* shitty to women? No. Couldn’t possibly be. Who could have guessed at such a thing??

Excited to learn about how roughing a woman up and confining her in a room that you do not allow her to leave, between bouts of voicing weird elaborate rape fantasies, is the kind of working class authenticity that the Democrats really need and a reason to like him *more* actually.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

If only there had been a sign the man was bad. A literal Nazi tattoo, perhaps.

The things that have come out about this guy (Nazi shit, misogyny, antisemitism, R word, victim blaming) are the exact same shit Dems would hammer Rs on, so, man I don't know what that says about the Platner defenders other than they are hypocrites, at best

Death to the Pod Save bros, of course

i am in awe of how seamlessly someone transitioned from contempt for the idea that this was true to contempt for the possibility that it is possible to do anything about it. almost as though the fact of its truth was irrelevant to the claims being made.

What's happening with Platner is why you hop off the bus at "he has a nazi tattoo"

well I'm sure *this* latest news is the last bad thing that will come out about the rape enthusiastic serial liar SS tattoo-having failson cheat.

The Strait of Hormuz, which Iran owns thanks to Trump, is 270 times as long as the reflecting pool.

The Nazi tattoo should have been the end of it, you guys

Rep. Lieu: “The Supreme Court is out of control, out of touch with the American people…This is the most corrupt Supreme Court we’ve seen in our history, and reform is going to come next year."

they think they own us, they think they own the constitution, and think they can tell us to eat shit. we have to teach them a lesson.

these bastards think they own us
