I'm going to repost this every time I see it on my timeline. Great thread. Believe the base. Believe Black Women.

Tan Suits, all day long, folks. All. Day. Long. Flood the timelines. #ObamaAppreciationDay

Happy #ObamaAppreciationDay, everyone! ✨🎉

Sigh… If only folks would have listened to us when we were sounding the alarm about Project 2025. Add it to the list of things we know wouldn’t have happened under a Harris presidency.

When trust fund babies grow up without need for original thought, they buy the erasure of history.

same for Space X. same for Twitter. he's no genius. that's why these companies can continue while he cosplays at CEO for all of them, hopped up on ketamine and hatred. other, smarter people do the real work.

He's also an illegal immigrant like Melania, but that's a whole different can of hypocrisy

"Man born rich, hangs out with other rich people, invests in companies, becomes richer, claims he is self-made."

He was made CEO as he ended up with the largest shareholding but was oustered from the board as he nearly destroyed their one profitable product, PayPal, as he was comvinced to swap all the servers from Linux it was written on to Windows Server edition.

He also didn't create PayPal. He had a shitty online bank called x.com, which was Comfinity, creator of PayPal's biggest rival in online payements cause he was burning investor money giving people $50 to sign up. Confinity and x merged more than a year after paypal launched.

By the way, Elon Musk didn't start Tesla. By the time he invested in Tesla, the original founders had already started building the Roadster THEY had designed. When he bought them out, he changed the history of the company to make himself a founder. I'm not joking. He's always been a fraud.

Thank you, Rep. Joyce Beatty. A Black woman Democrat defeated him. www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

It truly annoys me how much ppl in this country don’t understand the value of voting

There is a system already in place to prevent the sort of nightmare we're living in. It's called voting. Too many people refuse to participate and dream of something magical to intervene and lift that responsibility from them.

I stayed off BSky on the 9th for 2 reasons: 1) day of Nintendo Direct. A big day, joyous day in our house & it didn't disappoint; why ruin it? 2) tho we fought it, I knew how ME would go. It's the state that fucking gave us Stephen King. He & his body of work are testaments to ME's racism & misogyny

A corollary to this:

I screenshot your bullshit post that claimed the 30s - 60s were the most left that democrats have ever been which is also so completely ahistorical considering what the political parties were like back then and only white men benefitted.

It’s always a red flag when they say ‘establishment’ because it’s like do you know what it took and what it means for Black leaders to be considered apart of a political establishment in America? It’s why the VRA was gutted to redraw maps to remove that power. Saying establishment is like saying DEI

I’m shocked…said nobody 🤷🏾‍♀️

For 27 years, the Bipartisan Women’s Caucus laid a wreath for our women veterans. This year, it was cancelled. The generations of women who have fought, died, and sacrificed for our freedom will not be erased.

1. Progressive Champions PAC, a super PAC created last month, says on its website that its mission is to “elect bold, progressive candidates up and down the ballot.” A Popular Information investigaiton reveals that it's a GOP front group. Following along for receipts. 🧵

What if we listen to the women in his life telling us how he treated them and fuck off with the psyop bullshit?

Let’s be clear, because I see a lot of people glossing over this. These allegations are of domestic abuse and physical violence. You could get an order of protection based on these allegations. Domestic abuse isn’t about “hitting,” it’s about using violence and coercion to control your partner.

Excited to learn about how roughing a woman up and confining her in a room that you do not allow her to leave, between bouts of voicing weird elaborate rape fantasies, is the kind of working class authenticity that the Democrats really need and a reason to like him *more* actually.

Fwiw, just showed the quotes to a lawyer I know well whose entire practice is DV. They are in restraining order court almost every day. (to be fair, not Maine) Their take: "if those incidents happened as described, the conduct absolutely, 100% rises to assault. Not a question"

Women are not children to be physically controlled by male partners who act as parents they also have sex with and its a very fucked up to have that as a world view

actually the latest poll, of course taken before today's story, by the Platner campaign itself in a effort to reassure showed only a 4 point lead, a major shrinkage after the sexting scandal, how much more after voters hear he's an unstable, drunk, scary and abusive boyfriend?

The new redemption arc is pretending you had one or acting as though you never needed one.

Agreed. I just watched it sound off and he does seem awfully disappointed in so many people. "Being on a journey" doesn't mean we dont get to judge you on the pit stops you made along the way, dude.

His recent npr interview was like this, too. He lied a lot, and unless you were depressingly online and dialed in on this crap (looks pathetically into a mirror) it sounded like earnest, heartfelt forthrightness.

And of course, it's also gaslighting women to call domestic abuse and serial cheating being a "bad boyfriend"

"Bad boyfriend" is a dog whistle to other "bad boyfriends" supporting Platner who think calling a woman a "hatchet wound" is perfectly acceptable.

I’m so angry that we’re here, that this problematic mediocre white guy gets this platform and the Overton window gets yanked that much more to the right.

Sounds like an abuser who’s learned to weaponize therapy speak.

every woman who’s been involved with sexual assault awareness groups or support knows exactly these kinds of guys, who kind of linger around the movement and use all the words and are privately maybe not raping women but using the lingo to make women more comfortable and take advantage of

Men who are feminists not because they're actually interested in advancing the rights and cause of women (and fighting the patriarchy), but because they think saying the right things will get them laid.

Love it when men learn just enough from therapy to weaponize its language.

"Opinions of the pundit class" gave him his early big donations, flashy campaign coverage, discouraged opponents from running, cleared field for him! Ryan Grim, DC consultants, "Pod Save guys boosted their favorite failson former bartender* from when they were bros in DC" bsky.app/profile/orig...

What stood out in Platner's interview with @chrislhayes.bsky.social is the way he uses progressive language about community and solidarity and accountability and openness to soften his image. As if to say, 'could a man this aware *really* be capable of doing such horrible things?'

Reflecting a bit more on the Platner interview, he wants points for acknowledging he used to have an alcohol problem and was shitty to women, but the sexting allegations are recent! He was shitty to his wife recently. If she forgives him, fine, but you can't say bad behavior is ancient history!

He's still lying about the tattoo! He just lied on national TV about the tattoo, right in front of all our faces!

Also he seems to be saying “if the people of Maine don’t mind my Nazi tattoo and my adulterous behavior and that I am alleged to have physically harmed a partner then it’s not your place to question me.” Or at least that’s how I understood several of his answers

He still uses the R word liberally as well. Not a single soul has asked him about it in the media.

There's a third guy who is on the ballot and is apparently a leftist, but he's not performing toxic masculinity so no one cares about him.

The populist left wants men to continue holding down and raping women &then stomping on their faces forever That’s what they’re showing on this site Ever since 2016, it’s been a concerted effort by people who are widely embraced by gender minorities and so-called radicals: put women in their place

Maine primary is June 9th! Here’s a sample picture of what the ballot for U.S. Senate will look like including the name of the only declared Write-in candidate @andrealaflamme.bsky.social
