The new allegations against Platner are credible and disgusting. He needs to drop out. Then, the Maine Democratic Party must respect the democratic will of the people and appoint a similarly anti-war, anti-corruption, progressive populist as his replacement since that's they resoundingly voted for.

Happy birthday to everyone born on June 14th, except for anyone mentioned in the Epstein files thousands of times, accused of sexual assault by over a dozen women, and has 34 felony convictions related to an event where you cheated on your pregnant wife 🥳🎉🎊

I don't think people outside of Philly quite understand how huge Chris Rabb's victory in #PA03 was. His opponent had the backing nearly EVERY city council member, state legislator, ward, union, the mayor and the Philly Democratic Committee. Progressives got crushed in the mayor race just 3 years ago

With Chris Rabb's victory, I have now met 4 members of congress face to face: -Rep. Chris Rabb -Rep. Summer Lee -Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (at a mock senate event in high school) -Senator John Fetterman (no picture, it was at a Bernie rally in 2016 before he disappointed us all)

Rep. Thomas Massie has conceded. Republican voters have rejected the member of their own party most responsible for forcing the vote to release the Epstein files. All because Trump, a man named in the Epstein files thousands of times, didn't want them released. That says a lot. None of it good.

Jeffries just refused calls to abolish ICE and reject AIPAC. Schumer last week said he'll ensure Israel gets as much money as they want and supports regime change in Venezuela. It's so unfair that Dem leaders are out of step with their base when GOP leaders don't have a SINGLE left wing position.

Must feel so embarassing to be a Republican in 2026. Your party keeps getting btfo in deep red districts, Trump & Vance are booed everywhere they go, and your side's halftime show could only pull Kid Rock for a half assed performance that nobody watched cause normal ppl arent triggered by Bad Bunny

If you ever hear someone say "Israel isnt starving Gaza, they've let in [big number] of trucks / served [big number] of meals to Palestinians," just google how many daily trucks/meals are needed to feed the entire population and you'll quickly find those big sounding numbers are actually quite small

I've noticed that centrist liberals have started using the term "purity test" the same way the right has been using "woke" They both just slap that loaded language label on any critique from the left that they dont like and act like it's valid rebuttal instead of actually arguing against the point.

According to the right, the Republican Party doesn't own all the wars, torture, NSA spying and recessions caused by the Neocons just 1 Republican president ago, but the Democratic Party does own slavery because of how the party was 200 years ago. Got it.

I always liked Man of Steel, it was a neat take on how earth would realistically react to Krypyonians with phenomenal action scenes. But Superman 2025 was so fantastic and faithful that it makes Man of Steel look like a joke tbh

I already believed Trump was in the Epstein files but this confirmed it beyond doubt. He's planting the seeds to call it "fake news" when it comes out and exposes him

Reminiscing on how in the 2016/20 primary debates they'd constantly ask Bernie "how are you gonna pay for universal healthcare?" and "what if people like their insurance?" but never ask the private healthcare supporters "what about all the people who will still be uninsured and die under your plan?"

Genuinely shocked at how much blanant racism has been hurled at Zohran because of his muslim background. I see a lot of bigotry online but it's usually way more coded than just "this guy is muslim so he must support 9/11 and oppressing women". And a lot of it is coming from liberal Cuomo fans too.

I can't believe people are still pulling the "I'm not anti-vax, I'm just asking questions" card. It's 2025. It's been 4 years since the covid vax came out. There is no excuse. Any question you could have has been answered by now. You're just refusing to accept those answers.

So according to the right, we're overreacting by being concerned about Trump calling himself a King and tweeting that he's above the law while ignoring court orders, but Biden giving a speech in front of dark red lights a last year was proof he's a dictator. Got it.

Stepped into Trump world today (opened Facebook) and found out that their defense for when Trump announces a plan they don't like is to say he's not actually going to do it 🤦

this shit genuinely makes me sick bro. everything about AI from head to toe is bad and yet people still insist on using it. the world is genuinely at stake and people dgaf because they don't have to use their brains as much as they used to
screenshot from article that says that chatGPT consumes 519 milliliters (just over one bottle of water) to write a 100-word email, according to the Washington Post screenshot from article that discusses the fossil fuel impacts of increased AI usage

If you really think about it, it IS correct to call Frankenstein's monster "Frankenstein." Victor Frankenstein is his creator and essentially his father, so the mobster would inheret his surname too.

Zuckerberg claims the changes to Meta's policies are being done in the name of "free expression," yet he's taking away users' freedom to use optional LGBT themes. What a sick joke.
