“File your taxes and get a free pair of hot pink pants.” DONE.

we are going to win

Nope. I've never held elected office or ran for office or had a paid staff position and I've taken action on many policy issues plus done lots of politics. All volunteer. What has Platner done on women's rights and LGBTQ+ issues? Marriage equality campaign? No. Rape crisis center? No. Anything?

Whats a movie quote you've been saying a lot lately? "Gentleman! you can't fight here! it's the war room!" -Dr. Strangelove.

AAP never fucks around.

From the ruling: “This argument [by the Government] can only be countenanced if one completely abandons the idea of objective fact…” That really is the issue at the heart of many of the legal cases against the Administration. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Vote Janet Mills for Maine

Susan Collins' support for the SAVE Act threatens voting access for millions of Americans, including over 300,000 women in Maine. This is just the latest example of her toeing the party line and using her power to appease the President, even when it harms Maine people.

LL Bean is REALLY important to Maine and does so much good for the community. Did you know they fund the public transportation system around Acadia? The last time I was there, I never used a car once.

Oh, abso-fucking-lutely ... you think he was defending OTHER men when he ranted about rape victims not being drunk whores? No, men like Platner say EXACTLY what they mean and just like Trump... people don't believe it until the fucking apocalypse.

Seriously, what has Platner ever DONE to convince anyone that he's anything but a narcissist? Talk is cheap, but apparently if you're a white man in America, it trumps (word choice intended) everything else anyone else may have actually done.

I have finally turned my messy thread about misogyny as a supremacist ideology, and white supremacy's dependance on misogyny to function, into a slightly less messy Medium post. Read and/or share at will!

If Dems fought for Al Gore and defied SCOTUS which had NO authority over the matter ... if ... if ... if ... The never ending question.

As we head into another wildfire season: "We find that the observed increase in extreme fire weather bears a clear externally forced signal, detectable at 99% confidence above natural variability and attributable to human-induced climate change." www.science.org/doi/epdf/10....

More of both.

Good. Please just let us clean up our own mess. It's time the GOP faced the cost of their bullshit.

They think being a sociopath is commendable. That's their whole thing.

ArE yOu WoRkInG for AiPaC

Janet Mills is too old to beat Susan Collins is the same argument people used to rat fuck Biden out of the race because they wanted Trump to win but wanted a palatable excuse to use. Food for thought on a rainy Monday morning.

THERE'S WALLACE! 🥹🥹🥹

YES!!!!

When Shabbat was out I peeked at Bluesky & learned that people who call themselves progressives are mad at Mamdani for calling this ⬇️ reprehensible & idk how to tell you this, but if you're cool with the dehumanization & "excise" of Jews from reality, you're not progressive, you're an antisemite.

“I'm terrified at the moral apathy, the death of the heart, which is happening in my country. These people have deluded themselves for so long that they really don't think I'm human. And I base this on their conduct, not on what they say..."

The Platner-cult say anything about the global and national spike in terrorist attacks against Jewish children and families this week challenge…

I had not seen this before. #MEpolitics

Happy 206th birthday, Maine! I love this state and I love our people. That's why I'm running — to protect this special place we call home and to give our state the leadership it deserves in the Senate.

💙

Yes

You were had. We told you. You wouldn't listen. This is becoming a really, really, really, embarrassing trend in this country. Learn how to read people. Or at least beleive them when they tell you exactly who they are. Mainers, vote for Janet Mills. Please.

republicans are in charge of everything and they are getting everything theyve ever wanted and doing everything theyve ever wanted and the world is on fire and the global world order is collapsing. is there a correlation? who can say

In the reddit post in the initial post of this thread, Platner is LITERALLY fucking explicitly saying that HIS FAVORITE types of war (hold on while I go vomit profusely. . . .) are the endless ones in the Middle East that he personally served in. This directly, shamelessly contradicts

Platner has demonstrated poor character. He's lazy, a liar, serial exaggerator, he's a faux-working man whose main customer for his oyster farm is his mother, etc. etc. etc. He has zero qualifications to serve as a US Senator and what's known about him and his background is sketch AF.

I’ve said for 4-5 weeks I want one reputable poll of this race. The only numbers we have are from a couple rinky-dink local operations (one w a poor reputation), & from Platner (whose pollster I don’t recognize & doesn’t appear to have many federal clients). It’s possible Mills is crushing Platner.

if a dude tells you this is his favorite movie run

Found this out today and it’s troubling to me. The only way I can find to add VA pay to ~$4800/m would be if he receives both SMC-S (housebound) and SMC-K (loss of use of limb/organ, typically this means he takes Viagra or similar). I can’t make the math work any other way. (Link in alt text)

Guy... Platner is a Nazi, clearly and obviously. How is that any better than Collins?

As funny as this is … I would prefer Janet Mills win :)

This seems like a generally good formulation. The present Right is in its entirety hostile to accountability. A proportion of the present Left is similarly hostile to accountability. I know which tent makes more sense to work in, for me.
