Randomly watching a clip from the Ash London show (popular NZ radio program) “Best key changes.” Google, you’ll find it right away. The key changes were good but for me the best part was when Ash unabashedly yelled, “I LOVE LIVING IN THIS COUNTRY SO MUCH.” I want to be able to yell that. So much.

Sick of seeing Mitch McConnell trending for no good reason.

No one should be surprised that they’re keeping Trump in office even though he has dementia. They’re keeping McConnell in office even though he’s dead.

“Come, come, Platner isn’t a MONSTER. Just a lying sex pest with a Nazi tattoo. There will be CONSEQUENCES for pointing this out!”

Politics is personal. Dan Moraff who recruited Platner and fed him rants about "the establishment", was a child of extreme wealth who got canceled for sexual misconduct. Platner was his revenge, his way back in power. You have to see: Platner's campaign was about intra-elite resentments. 1/

🧵Taps screen 🗣️I need y’all to stop falling for this “working class” bs!!! No really…STOP IT! A majority of the candidates & the people behind them are rich white dude bros that are angry Black Folks & Women have made progress. paydayreport.com/platners-dan...

A whole lot of people need to sit with, and honestly answer, the question "why was a Nazi tattoo by itself not bad enough for you?", and not be allowed to rejoin society until they have that reckoning.

It's kinda wild watching leftist/DSA folks discuss *in public* just how desperately they want to control the Senate/throw out Schumer. Just rapidly shuffling through candidates and kingmaking in their heads for fun. All so they can fantasize about removing Schumer. Not fighting Republicans.

Congresswoman Summer Lee barred Daniel Moraff from her campaign over sexual misconduct complaints that Lee received about Moraff. Moraff is being ridiculed for not properly vetting Platner, but our investigation shows Moraff was hiding his own sexual misconduct issues

August 2025, medieval reenactment at Ludlow Castle, public gone, all of us on camp in kit, one throwaway 'turn around', and 20 filthy, sweaty, exhausted people in 15th century clothes belt out 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' a capella. Core memories made from other core memories. Thanks, Bonnie.

SHOCK NYT REPORT: DHS now admits the man ICE killed in Houston wasn't even their target. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 35-year U.S. resident, was just driving to work when agents — with no body cameras — shot him dead searching for two other men who weren't even in the van. Gift link in reply.

Basically those closest to Platner knew he was a wreck. Wild stuff. Everyone that was involved with platforming this man should be shamed out of politics. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/08/u...

Talked to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes today and he said, “Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by...”

Republicans are always going on about dead people voting. Wonder if Mitch McConnell will be one of them.

Best thing you can ask yourself about a political candidate is “How will I feel *when* this person inevitably disappoints me?”

And that, in a nutshell, is why I, Mr Old Grumpy Whitebread Man really very much want our side to run exclusively women for a while, with maybe a very few men with absolutely squeaky clean resumes and women friends vouching for them left and right.

The son of the man shot and killed by ICE: I am Ronaldo Salgado, the oldest son of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. He should've been picking up the last of his guys before heading to finish up construction. Unbeknownst to all of us, my dad had been shot inside his van by ICE agents in unmarked cars.

This was one of the main reasons I insisted so hard that Dems drop Platner by any means necessary. The Democratic Party is *better* than this. We don't need to have a Dem TEA Party. That mindset leads to dark places. We literally just saw this. "but maybe it'll work for us..." is a lie!

As a party, we clearly take the integrity of our candidates more seriously than our opponents. But if we’re going to remain open to removing candidates in the 11th hour, as we should, then we need a standardized plan as a party to replace them rather than just figuring it out in the moment. My 2¢

I think what’s most surreal about watching the Graham Platner debacle … Black people were completely horrified

Who among us does not have a core memory of being drunk at a house party, clustered in a group around the radio, unabashedly singing Total Eclipse of the Heart? RIP Bonnie Tyler. You made us all turn around. 😭

We need to be clear on something here. Platner has “suspended” his campaign & says he’ll file the paperwork to formally withdraw from the ballot by Monday, the legal deadline. He’s proven himself untrustworthy. That paperwork could have been filed yesterday but certainly by EOD today. Let’s see.

So Oyster Dude finally suspends his campaign. An asshole to the bitter end. And his supporters especially the White male ones have gone deep into the gutter their temper tantrums. Anybody that says we need these creepy, rapey incels to win elections can fuck all the way off.

ICE agents shot and killed another human being today, July 7, 2026, at approx 6:50 AM in Houston, Texas and they’re lying about it. CT, The murder victim’s name is Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. www.instagram.com/reel/DagYjCN...

I said it on another post, but I know for a fact that those fuckfaces ain’t learnin’ a single thing from this whole debacle. All they know is that they want revenge right now. They’re gonna try to torpedo every single candidate democrats have just to get it. If white men can’t fix it, no one will.

After the dust settles from the Platner bs it’s time to have a talk about how some of y’all are in an abusive relationship with the far left & are hardly indistinguishable from MAGAts. Yep. Read it again. Some of y’all are in an abusive relationship with the far left & look like MAGAts.

motherfucker spent like 9 minutes of an 11 minute video blaming “the Democratic establishment” for his own actions which made him manifestly unfit to serve. It’s always someone else’s fault with these guys I don’t want people like this in our progressive movement good riddance, go away forever

What’s amazing is that I’m literally braver than every cop and walk around places without weapons ALL THE TIME

Flavor Flav shared that he’s secured “the tickets, the glam, wardrobe” for the entire US women’s hockey team to attend the 2026 ESPY’s. In an update, Paris Hilton is now covering the hotel rooms for every player. Talk about a bunch of words I never thought I’d say.

NEW: Brig. Gen. Eric Widmar, senior legal adviser to the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he is retiring “for personal reasons.” His is the latest high-profile departure among the military’s top leaders and lawyers in the Trump administration.

I am “my nightly gummy supplement regimen counts as dessert” years old.

One (hopefully) last thing on Platner: The reason I never really bought in to the "he's obviously not a Nazi, he's an ideologically incoherent chud" explanation is that Nazism was never a movement known for it's ideological coherence or lack of chudery. It was a pretty core aspect of it in fact!

I completely forgot I had this 👇 post in my saved posts. The woman Platner raped is in the comments in the screenshot.

I wish the media had the same urgency about the state of Mitch McConnell as they did for Kamala's W-2 from McDonald's in the 80s.

Berniebros: You better VBNMW for Nazi Platner or you want Collins to win, you divisive fascist Dem. After Platner: If a Dem candidate takes his place, they need to "earn" our votes & do what we want or we won't vote. Once again, Bernie strikes again.

So much for "Graham Platner is inevitable," huh?

BYE, ASSHOLE!

Oyster Boy's current conduct is giving flashbacks to late in the 2016 Democratic primary when Bernie realized the math wasn't mathin' so he started trying to pressure the superdelegates into flipping to him because some stupid poll said he'd do better against Trump. Egos over reality.

India just generated 50% of its electricity from clean sources. For 15 minutes. Sounds trivial? That's how every record starts: first minutes, then a day, then a month, then a whole year. Some states are already there: Karnataka crossed 60% clean power last year.

You’re furious at the wrong people.

Boston is suing Meta, TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube. The city says the companies deliberately designed addictive features like endless scrolling, notifications, and algorithms that harm kids' mental health. The lawsuit joins more than 1,500 school districts nationwide.

Dunno if people caught this while listening to Lawrence O'Donnell eviscerate the Oyster Boy campaign, but he mentioned Oyster Boy's Boy's dad is so rich he was able to max out a donation to Rueben Gallego when Gallego endorsed Platner.

Rule #1 of the fascistic Trump Administration: Never accept ICE’s official version of any story on face value. Ever. From Trump and Vance on down, we saw what they tried to pull on Alex Pretti and Renee Good. And we witnessed those incidents with our own eyes. apnews.com/article/ice-...

Yes, there is a lot more on Platner. You can discern this from the fact he is alleged to have committed domestic violence between 2013-2016. He then is alleged to have raped a woman in 2021. That points to a profile of a man who serially abuses women. NBC story also noted multiple victims.

this coming out the same day a bunch of men are bellyaching about how everyone needs a pristine dating history to be in congress now should tell you something thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Everyone is trying to have this both ways. Either Platner was a progressive outsider running a guerrilla campaign that establishment Chuck Schumer tried to stop by recruiting neolib centrist Mills. Or Democrats embraced Platner and deserve all the blame. It cannot be both!

Wow, this message from the Maine Democrats account on X. It sounds like Graham Platner is trying to stay actively involved in the process to replace him…and maybe even play kingmaker. And apparently Maine Dems are NOT having it.

This actually does a great deal to explain why many of them continue to insists that the majority of Democrats did not endorse Mamdani even though anyone with a single eye could see that happen.
