Make You Feel My Love by Adele

"Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism" is only a meaningful slogan if you actually do the work to keep the genuine bona fide antisemites out of the anti-Zionist political movement.

Actual sociopath

Oh Jesus fucking christ, you went into politics less than a year ago. Your journey...GTFOH

Worst possible answer

(in the seventh month of defending a candidate who has slowly revealed himself to be a werewolf) so actually I think most guys get worse under the full moon

Platner very much is a discernible type, but it’s not “flawed but basically decent working class joe.” It’s “prep school creep with a sadistic streak and an ironclad confidence that it will never catch up to him.“

As a progressive Jew & son of Israelis: 1. We have been warning you about how antisemitism destroys movements from within. 2. Many white leftists blame Israel for everything to avoid focusing on their own role in white supremacy. 3. Accepting Nazis into the movement is proof of both of the above.

Okay but the guy who got a Nazi tattoo surely only has the one bad thing waiting to come out about him, and we’ve already had it so that means he’s perfect, smooooth sailing from now on

honestly the only piece worth reading on the platner situation. @tressiemcphd.bsky.social is absolutely cooking here. (gift link)

What if they just made an entire guy out of red flags?

Too bad City Council won't give the district the money it needs to fix this

Those grandstanding idiots on city council will throw themselves a protest of school closures but won't give the school district the money it needs to keep schools open share.inquirer.com/6NKN2M

We could've avoided potentially losing the senate if people had used their damn common sense to ask a guy with a nazi tattoo to drop out. bsky.app/profile/esqu...

on the one hand he’s a lying misogynist drunk, on the other hand he has no relevant experience and seems to totally lack any discipline

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

...Oh.

WAIT - what if he reappears on the 17th anniversary of Mark Sanford coming back from his journey up the Appalachian Trial (June 24) 🤯🤯

my friend in perimenopause says “yes, my brain”

My fun Zinn story: my kids are history buffs so I started reading the kid's version of A People's History to them, but I spent so much time yelling at the book for being wrong that they told me I could stop reading it if it was stressing me out that much

Hallelujah - give us back our infrastructure! share.inquirer.com/7YX7FV

Welp there’s no unseeing this

Guy who is not a lawyer carrying a plastic spork into a knife fight with THEEE @kathryntewson.bsky.social

So those goons at LibsOfTikTok have gone after my Philly neighborhood's elementary school for hosting a Pride parade, forcing them to move the parade from the sidewalks to the schoolyard and bring in police protection to ensure that children are safe.

👀

I don't hate this

Oh, the rest of us are well aware of this problem with Maine voters, given that they've blessed us with Collins for 30 years and are about to send Paul LePage to Congress

this is why he's a bad candidate and why his falling out of the sky into *the senate* is extremely weird!

It me

Again, is any of this thus far disqualifying per se this year and in this environment? Probs not. Does all of this in aggregate paint a picture of a massive dumbass who does not think more than a minute ahead of time and does not take shit seriously? Absolutely.

And I think what bothers me isn't even these various red flags individually. It's that whenever someone brings them up, we get shouted down or called a fake leftist or fake progressive or a shill for Israel. And again, I get he's better than Collins.

This is what scares me. What is Collins saving for the general? Every week something new comes out about Platner - another Reddit post, a new slur, another old quote defending something indefensible and so on and so on

The big issue with Platner getting the nomination is that with his, uh, checkered history I am sure Collins has some incendiary October surprise material in hand already. There is no way all the skeletons are out of the closet. He clearly wasn't properly vetted when he was recruited to run.

Famous last words, eh?

I was assured by multiple Platner fans that there would be no more skeletons coming out of his closet

Wait wait wait, Platner is a creep who disrespects his wife? The slur guy? The mercenary? The guy who loved doing imperialist violence? Are you sure? The guy who pretends to be a working class common joe whose excuse for his nazi tattoo was that he's very stupid? That guy? No. Don't buy it.

Graham Platner: There's Always More.

Did anyone even try to vet this fucking guy??? www.nytimes.com/2026/05/30/u...

Today we remind bluesky that vampire jokes about Jews are antisemitic.

As a counterpoint to whatever Milli Vanilli shitshow is going on in DC, I offer the true July 4th celebration in Philadelphia www.visitphilly.com/things-to-do...

TIL that the current iteration of Milli Vanilli is just two sisters who sang backup on the original album?

They made her a cake at work lmao

It's a failure of legal education that someone could graduate from law school in 2020 and *not already know this* about BigLaw. Also, this article proceeds from the premise that all the good lawyers are at BigLaw firms and that none of the rest of us could hold a candle to their skills.

Eid Mubarak!

I'm sorry, but "bouncy castles are symbols of bourgeois frivolity" is a unanimous first-ballot entry into the Take Hall of Fame. If I were that poster, I would simply log off forever, because it's not gonna get any better than this.

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2

Could bluesky please turn into more of a bubble, I'm sick of hearing this dogshit

In the best possible way, you will never guess what this is in response to
