What exactly does Israel do that Graham Platner objects to when he gleefully participated in just about everything you could possibly hate Israel for, but he did it on behalf of the United States

Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have gawd awful political instincts and zero discernment. They deserve all of the smoke too.

Because no woman could EVER possibly have legitimate reasons to not trust Platner or see a ton of red flags in his behavior and history. Because women's opinions don't count, right? Our experiences aren't relevant when they happen to not align with your opinion as a man, right?

I note that the trollbots are all defending Platner 🤔

“You don’t understand, he’s unable to keep himself from committing violence against people he sees as lesser because of his problems with emotional regulation” is not the endorsement for political power people seem to think it is and that’s all I will say about that

Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available. We illustrated their findings.

Here are the quotes Trump's NPS is trying to erase at the Bunker Hill Monument. Congress must not fund Trump's campaign of censorship.

One thing the whole Platner situation reveals is that a whole lot of supposedly progressive pundits and politicians would have been much better served if they actually WERE ensconced in the supposed Bluesky bubble, 'cause everyone I know on here had this clown figured out from the get-go.

I’m not sure if a lot of men realize this but sometimes you can just shut the fuck up.

I really hope the world’s leading screwwormologist folds his or her arms and says, “Fuck you. Pay me. No. More. More than that. I don’t even eat animal tissue. I just find screwworms fascinating. No, Rubio, kneeling is not enough. Sort of run around on your knees. Actually, I’m never helping you.”

Quiet piggy.

I just saw him say that he’s not worried about anything that is revealed that happened “before I went into politics” my brother in Christ that was less than a year ago. We’re supposed to men in black wipe 99% of your life?

That guy is a dick. Anyone supporting him is aiding and abetting assholeism at this point. If you don't like what I'm saying I don't give a blind flying fuck. Block me because you don't exist to me. I'm done coddling assholes and their enablers.

If y’all think this is the last of the awful stuff to come out about Platner…

looks like it picked up 8 more votes before final passage. next it goes to the Senate, where it will probably also pass. Trump might even sign it, since he's been kinda deflated a bit in the last few weeks and he has other bigger fish to fry.

So you're saying, the man who had a Nazi tattoo and lies about that, blamed women for getting raped, makes racist comments, advocates slaughtering millions of people and pissing on their corpses, and praises a MAGA conspiracy theorist, was in a long-term relationship with a hard core Republican?

No tweets about Platner today from any of the Pod Save bros.

Still nothing from any of them. Favreau ❌ Lovett ❌ Vietor ❌ Rhodes ❌ Pfeiffer ❌

I agree with Walsh 100%

Thanks @sallyalbright.bsky.social this is gonna be useful! 😆🤣😆

No surprise these two would become instant best friends. #MayTheGrouchBeWithYou

My daughter's beloved child is the one I hold here. The one that I held on my lap While we looked at the light of the sun when we were alive, And that I still hold, now that we are both dead. - inscription on this c. 400 BCE Greek grave marker, carved with a grandmother holding a swaddled baby

Nope. Doesn't have a thing to do with the tattoo being in association with a group historically known to...genocide black people, gay people, lesbian people, trans people, bi people and jewish people. Nah. It's just that people decided to hate him. And no. There's no example of his tattoo.

These images will live on. They will define his Presidency. History will not be kind.

exactly the right response

I have a bottle of Dom..had if for many years. If the day ever comes. You’ll find me dancing 💃 in the streets!!

Genuinely wild that I, a homosexual who loves disco music and rhinestones, am more comfortable in my masculinity than half of the heterosexual men in mainstream punditry.

I'm only like 70% kidding when I say we needed a federally funded Man Scouts program for male journalists to go get badges for learning to fish, pitch a tent, shoot a rifle, etc so they stop begging gruff white dudes for a pat on the head

Hey if a dude in your life is trying to argue that what Platner did is not a big deal and that most men do it, actually, they are telling on themselves and you need to lose them from your life as soon as you can.

*Everyone* immediately agreed that Eric Swalwell should resign, regardless of the political cost for Dems in Congress. But there’s a huge swath of D voters/influencers now urging people to hold their noses and vote for a total creep like Platner who will probably refuse to resign when he should.

Oh noes, you aren't going to get behind someone you can't vote for, commence with the fainting and grab some smelling salts

A lot of people are telling on themselves tonight.

GOVERNOR Janet Mills is still on the ballot and stood up to Trump for LGBTQ+ rights. For God's sake people, GET IT TOGETHER! This guy is just BAD, BAD, BAD news all the way around!

I worked with a woman whose husband was a no show for their reception because he went to bang someone else. This dude has the same energy.

I’m just going to state this again: having to publicly deny you’re a Nazi should immediately be disqualifying for a Dem candidate. Apparently, our bar is now so low that we might as well slap an R over that D. And don’t bother coming at me with but Collins 🙄

Listening carefully to Platner’s non-denials on @chrislhayes.bsky.social If Mainers vote for him in the primary next week, they can congratulate Susan Collins right now on being re-elected. There will be Anthony Weiner photos or worse, in October.

“I just wanna be LIKE, KIND OF unequivocal about…” Yeah…Collins is going to walk all over this asshole. Also, if you accidentally got a Nazi tattoo and didn’t remove it after you learned what it was…you might be a Nazi. Pull the plug on this clown now

A reminder the Maine primary hasn't happened yet and there are other candidates. They don't all wear plaid shirts and shit post on Reddit or send nude pix to a dozen women. They are boring and competent.

It seems like nearly everyone is mad about Maine, but hardly anyone is mad at Maine. Maine hasn’t elected a Democrat to the Senate in 38 years (only Mississippi, Kansas, Wyoming, Utah, & Idaho have gone longer). That’s not on Schumer or Sanders. That’s on Maine.

Taylor Swift now has an updated net worth of $2 billion. She becomes the richest female musician in history.

NEWS: The House has passed the Ukraine Support Act, 226-195, to provide new military aid to Ukraine and impose tougher sanctions on Russia. The bill advanced through a discharge petition despite Speaker Mike Johnson's efforts to block a vote.

I've been saying it for a decade: never trust an edgelord. A person whose political identity is built around offending sensibilities or defying convention for its own sake is not a person you can trust to hold true to progressive politics. Because transgression for its own sake is not progressive.
