Gee, if only people weren't warning EVERYONE ABOUT HIM FOR MONTHS NOW: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I've watched about half of this interview with @davidcostello.bsky.social, and I find it mind boggling that he hasn't gotten more traction. He seems to be a decent guy with tons of experience, solid, well thought-out & progressive policy stances, etc. Mainers should check him out. #MEpolitics

I’m not spending my day arguing with folks about awful stuff so I’m gonna say this… Prepare your house and remind your family & friends to get ready. There’s lots of awful heading our way & it might not wait until Fall/Winter. Ignore the noise and stay focused.

@kenmartin.bsky.social Facts: "The party risks betraying its own values if it won’t denounce the embattled Maine Senate candidate." And everyone who rushed to endorse in a primary should issue an unambiguous apology and retraction. I won't hold my breath. www.ms.now/opinion/grah...

So this morning i'm noticing some wht men making "jokes" about things like race v class; platner & the nazi tattoo (one guy equating him to a modern day Emmitt Till), etc. And they seem surprised & angry when women & Black/Jewish/Brown folks get offended. Oppression isn't funny to us. Go figure.

The truth is most of ppl involved in progressivism, which is really populism, are wealthy, privileged in some way, and are very racist and misogynist. @kenmartin.bsky.social for instance is evidently quite racist and misogynist. Ken thinks the way to beat Trump is to become him. But that is wrong.

Anyone, like Bernie Sanders for example, who tells everyone "identity politics" don't matter is NOT IMO a Democrat. Because identity politics are there to drive forward policies for equal rights. White male is also an identity but they do not need help achieving rights. 3/

The campaign sent an email out w/ a guy *who got a matching SS tattoo* saying they didn’t get it because of being racist but because it looked cool in Zeteo? The outlet that dismissed the allegations because she’s pro-Israel this morning? I’m sorry but you people are past stupid if you buy this.

There's nothing progressive about them. You don't get meaningful change in this country without remediating the unfair exclusion of historically disadvantaged groups to power. Centering white men is the opposite of that.

Ken Martin is a piece of shit to even think about allowing someone like Platner to run as a Dem and an even bigger piece of shit to actually let this go forward. He is enabling racism, anti-Semitism, misogyny, and abuse.

Regressives are lazy lying sociopaths.

Hey Maine! Janet Mills is STILL on the ballot. You can also rank David Costello AND, as a write-in, Andrea LaFlamme! FYI!

he is just a nice working class oysterman who inherited millions of dollars and is friends with Tucker Carlson. ya know. like a normal dude.

Here’s what’s wild to me regarding Platner fans who are standing ten toes down behind this man. We all know that if these exact same allegations dropped about a “centrist” Democrat they’d be leading the charge to get them out of there. Vile hypocrites.

The "leftpocrisy", writ large. Mills is right.

Thank you, Leader Jeffries, who held his caucus and got Republicans...HIS JOB...and Rep. Gregory Meeks. The House passed the Ukraine legislation 226-195, with 18 Republicans joining all but one Democrat — Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. — in support of the bill. www.ms.now/news/house-p...

Dude. Most Americans have not forcibly grabbed their girlfriend so hard that it left a mark, hurled her into a bedroom, and locked her in there all night against her will. You're making a confession here, aren't you?

If you want to cosign Platner's assault do that, but dont throw most of us in with you and that charlatan. I hope your partners report you for the abuse you've subjected them to.

No wonder y’all act like you do. Y’all have awful parents and came from bad soil. The majority of the country does not act like that.

"centre" lol Australia is, incredibly, even more dumbfuckedly sexist than the United States so this broke dick knuckleknob's opinion can be safely discarded into the trash bin.

I'm sure you all will be shocked to hear that Chris fucking Hayes had Platner on tonight...I had MSNBC on in the car and I'm not sure if you know this but the burly oysterman is actually the victim here.

No, the National media puff pieces coordinated by his consultant teams (and possibly his mom) were a pretty major factor.

This makes me happy. He’ll be a great Governor like he was as an Attorney General building off of the programs Kamala Harris was developing before him & like he was as the HHS Secretary in helping the country become functional again when COVID was ravaging everything.

With everything that we know about Platner, and the base rates of sexual assault in the US, I think it's very unlikely that he HASN'T sexually assaulted someone. His comment about "taking responsibility" for getting raped sounded to me very much like it came from personal experience.

Liberal (not leftist) Women, Jewish and Black voters, LGBTQ voters… all of us who’ve developed survival spidey senses exactly because of men like Oyster Cracker Platner, immediately recognized the befouling odor that follows him like Pig Pen from Charlie Brown. White leftists, esp male dudebros?

Never forget this: @mherskovitz.bsky.social is doubling down on his support for the Nazi guy. Because, he says, the Nazi guy only beat up HALF of his girlfriends.

Why are you lying? www.ap.org/media-center...

🧵 The greatest threat to American democracy may no longer be found in Congress or the White House. It may be found across the street.

A know-nothing, no experience, spendthrift, reality TV ahole, vs a lifelong public servant who's served at the local and national level. But he's a white guy, so... "...pitting an experienced Black public servant against a celebrity newcomer." Yt ppl gonna yt ppl. thegrio.com/2026/06/04/b...

Shout out to @katieporterca.bsky.social @mattmahansj.bsky.social and @antonio2026.bsky.social who SHOULD have dropped out and given Becerra a decisive victory over the British fascist. Please go away forever. abc7.com/live-updates...

Could we put Karl Rove in a burlap sack with James Carville and drop them into a rushing river? Y'all had your run as kingmakers. Move on, both of you. www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/2026/06/karl...

Do you mean to tell me there are literally people bashing a Dem in one state while going "but but but we have to beat Collins!!!" even when it means backing a nazi (who hasn't won a primary yet) in another? Annoyed AF, yet not surprised.

Not a single one demanded their Climate Savior sell his holdings in AI data centers.

I also like how they wanted Becerra to denounce Chevron and give the money back but haven’t asked Steyer to give back any of the money he made from investments.

What is the point of bashing Xavier Becerra now? He’s the nominee. Who does it help? Your choices are Xavier Becerra or Steve Hilton. Either it’s MAGAt Hilton or Democrat Xavier Becerra. There’s no scandals. No Nazi tattoo. No racism. No bigotry. He probably meets at least 75% of your wishlist.

UK leftists helping out their white counterpart in the US, as always 🙄 And without fail, they are free Palestine morons.

This is how Leftists talk about us:

It's #Pride Month, of course, so here's something else for straight people to read, consider, & try to understand. This is why representation is so important. We've had to "translate" EVERYTHING in our heads our entire lives. It's such a relief, a reduction in cognitive load, when we don't have to.

That’s been their stated goal for nearly a decade & 1 of many things they have in common is that they don’t want Black people to vote. The right doesn’t want us to vote at all & the “left” doesn’t want us to vote in any primary that may prevent whatever mediocre white guy they support from winning.

Wow. That's scary. I fear the Democratic Party has been hijacked by left wing extremists who, like their MAGA counterparts, only believe in free speech if they're the ones doing the talking.

This site’s “moderation system” does anything but. It caters to leftists who use multiple accounts to report anyone who doesn’t share their idiotic views or support their shit candidates, especially the people who call out their bigotry & misogyny. @jermoinemo26.bsky.social suspended after 1 day.🤦🏾‍♀️

SAME. I’m entirely DONE with pretending that the majority of American white men aren’t lazy, incurious, ignorant imbeciles; loud, entitled, demanding morons who, thanks to 400 years of white male supremacy, are absolutely CONVINCED of their own intellectual and moral superiority. DONE with ‘em.

Fvck you and earning your vote. You’re a privileged racist chaos agent and nobody is letting you take them hostage. It’s that damn simple.

There's a whole series of these put out by the gay pride apparel account, but this one hit hard and I think it's really important to constantly drive home just how important #Pride still is. I was lucky, my parents accepted me when I came out at 18 after graduating High School. Not everyone is.

#bloomscrolling while watching the CA and NM results come in. Warm congratulations to Xavier Becerra and Deb Haaland 🫶💕🌸

💀🤣😂😂😂If your progressive politics don’t fly in CA, you’re the problem. This Is California

Honestly I feel numb about Alabama. Which is effed up in and of itself but man this SCOTUS…. White liberals played purity politics and Black voters are paying the price. Fuck y’all for real.

Many globally doubt the sustainability of the "American experiment" for a simple reason. Democracy requires people who disagree to continue accepting common rules and institutions for a mutually perceived concept of general welfare. They're being proven right. Not enough agree on what that is.

I’ve been looking at the DSA Charter and bylaws. The links to its core values for boycotts reads like a teenager’s manifesto of presumed intellectual and moral superiority. Clearly, someone curated internally inconsistent material without even a basic understanding of 21c. history.

Yes. That. And as my good friend @brat2381.bsky.social always says: Two things can be true. Netanyahu can be a bag of dicks AND Israel can defend themselves. Boom. Gray area.
