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.

"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

On top of everything else, Platner's video just now is horrible. He suggested something was nefarious about these allegations hitting before just the primary, then the drop-out deadline. It's perfectly rational that an abusive person's victims don't want that person to wield a huge amount of power

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.

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.

ICE murdered another person.

Local rape apologist extremely mad that fellow rape apologist Ryan Grim gets called out for being a rape apologist

brain poisoned, gutter misogyny. 1) that there is (thankfully) no norm for releasing the play-by-play of personal messages in cases like this and 2) the detail about being explicitly told not to come over and coming over anyway does not in any way complicate this story

I wish everyone could get the same number of eighth chances as a 41 year old sex pest with a Nazi tattoo

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.

Tag yourself, I’m [CATEGORIES OF FACTUAL DETAIL: who, what, when, where, how]

what a surprise. again, he reacted like this when the Nazi tattoo was revealed! he wasn't contrite, there was no actual acceptance or suggestion of change, it was pure entitlement and anger. All of this should have been obvious.

This is true and it is tragic: it can happen to absolutely anyone, no matter how good a parent you are. Just telling yourself to always look in the backseat when you get out of the car isn't enough: your brain can create false memories when stressed or sleep-deprived.

Thank fucking god our endless Nazi tattoo blackwater merc misogynist rapist nightmare is finally fucking over. May we never have to hear or speak this man’s name again.

See you on the right wing grift circuit in a few months, fucko.

A malignant narcissist to the very end. DARVO is a helluva drug.

#BREAKING #Maine

Rape apologist endorsed by rapist she apologized for, film at 11

(Any and all discussion of how and under what circumstances he’s dropping out should reckon with the fact he and his campaign staff are very obviously trying to stay in by leaking a Hail Mary smear to a supportive media outlet to attack his victim and discredit her story.)

I think maybe the people doing the Platner fallout media debriefs should be those of us who were skeptical of him all along and not the people who were calling the NYT story a hit job a week ago.

Andy O’Brien has come out of hiding to attack & try to discredit a victim of the accused rapist. The Maine AFL-CIO should fire this repulsive scumbag. It’s overdue with his abhorrent behavior throughout this election.

The cherry on the sundae is that she's a policy wonk for Heritage, so getting this sort of coverage is part of her job, but it also speaks to how the NYT's culture pieces are basically, 'journalist interviews their friend in the same elite circles.'

She told him not to come over and said no to him when he raped her. Fuck all the way off.

no like can we get a drop site investigation into Ryan Grim’s history with women? I’m being so serious

I know this is not enforceable but I think anyone who says anything like, "I believe women but I am suspicious that this woman is particular is paid/coming forward for attention" should have to cite examples of multiple women who have made money & success out of accusing high-profile men of rape.

Part of a pretty damning thread about one of the people who has brought us at breakneck speed to a place where invalidating the 14th amendment has become a nearly standard Republican position:

In rape culture, everything a woman says means yes and nothing she says means no. This seems to assert that though she said not to come over, said no repeatedly, struggled against Platner, an ambiguous prior comment constituted irrevocable consent. Not a shocking breach not to include it.

The organizing director for the Platner campaign just quit the Maine Democratic Party. These people are in a cult of personality and I'm starting to wonder if black sneakers and a wayward comet is involved.

Hi @kenklippenstein.bsky.social delete this all you want, everyone saw it

Graham Platner Clarifies He Covered Penis With Tattoo After Learning About Its Troubling History

One of the findings in my research is that there is never enough evidence to satisfy people who want to offer a perpetrator impunity. They can always dream up a new way to blame the victim—and ignore all the other damning, relevant evidence by cherry picking some small detail that shouldn’t matter.

My defense attorney reaction? This makes it so much worse. I cannot imagine a universe in which I would want evidence that a person had been explicitly told not to go to a person's house in a trial where they were accused of breaking into someone's home and raping them.

Again, I know a guy who almost got a bat signal tattooed *to his forehead*. I'm aware of exactly zero Nazi tattoos amongst my shipmates. I'm aware of no Nazi tattoo close calls.

Hello to day three of Thinking About My Own Assaults Because Leftist Writers Are Launching Substack titled “Who amongst us hasn’t removed a condom without consent”

I am once again begging people to understand that “women used to stay married” is not the same thing as “women used to be happy.” Usually it actually means “women used to have no money, no legal protection, no right to their own children, and a church lady judging them from three pews away.”

The only reasons I know the name Ryan Grim are because he’s a rape apologist & because when I see his name I always confuse him with the guy who dated Nuzzi and wrote about bamboo.

Gross. Expressing a need for a therapeutic service, and clarifying that you don't want it to be provided by someone, is not even remotely anything like consent.

"His dream is dead" pretty much confirms my belief he didnt run for some civic minded goodness or because he really believed in progressive causes, he just wanted a senate seat. And as such it is absolutely fair to assume that man meant jack shit of what he said his policies were.

Once again : What women on the left already knew before the Epstein files + Platner is that men can imagine a world of class consciousness (Chomsky), a universe more expansive than ever before known (Hawking), a world where you can live forever (Attia) but not a world where women are fully human.

The whole Platner thing has become a horrifying judgment test on whether women are human beings deserving of bodily autonomy. There's an entire male pundit class failing that test.

wow who was this? she was right

what is it about this particular incident that has so many men going completely mask off with the misogyny and rape apologia

Trying to pick apart a woman's text messages to prove she's lying about being raped is gutter behavior. Consent can be revoked at any time and reading insinuations into text messages that the sender denies were there is ACTUAL journalistic malpractice. I would not trust a man who does this!

This woman has been the subject of three NYT pieces in 2025-26

"she asked for it"

Every time, there's a swell of, "Why didn't she come forward for us to scream at her earlier in the process?" She's watched people like you scream at people like her her entire fucking life.

"why didn't she come forward about the rape earlier" Because police don't do anything about rape most of the time, they try women for "false accusations" some additional percentage, and what was she supposed to do, upturn her mental health only for some judge to give him a suspended sentence?
