Israel is no doubt queueing up the mother of all bombing campaigns to derail this.

The Venn diagram of leftists who think punching fascists is good (it is) and leftists who think we should take the word of a fascist when they, without any evidence, accuse a leftist of simple battery has way too big of an overlap.

Every online person I have spoken to about Platner has made an incorrect claim about the accusations against him and that is a great example of how inflammatory headlines are effective forms of propaganda. Most people are too lazy to read the story.

I think the only people worse than the national media at analyzing Maine politics are Bluesky users. Not specifically one particular side of the Platner thing. All of you.

The People’s Met: How Protest Movements Clawed Back Jeff Bezos’ Claim on Culture
After Amazon's chief bought his way to the top of the museum steps, a protest movement threw its own gala — and made the case that culture was never his to claim.

You are an NFL prospect. It's draft night. It's the biggest night of your life. You hear your name called. You have been selected by the New York Jets. Your family and friends cheer. They hug you. You stand there frozen in shock. You say to yourself, "Oh shit. Am I bad at football?"

re: hockey, Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest boxers ever to live, gave up three years in the prime of his life — years in which his fighting would have been at peak; actual money incalculable — rather than fight in an unjust war, so noping out on grandpa’s burger bash should be an easy choice

I don't think Sean McDermott is a very good coach but I also don't see anyone on the market who is better. Not sure what the Bills were thinking. However, the fact that he doesn't know what constitutes a catch is quite a red flag. Maybe that's what did it.

It's bizarre when the national political spotlight gets turned on your home state. All of a sudden everyone watches a 15 minute Youtube video or two, reads some tweets and skeets, and they have big, super "well-informed" opinions about a political arena they knew nothing about yesterday.

I'm sure I must be forgetting one but I can't remember a more overtly racist campaign than the one Cuomo is running against Mamdani. And most of America is just cool with it. The guy who got a bunch of dudes to beat up brown people in the subway is not the most racist person in the race. Crazy.

How much money that could be spent fighting Trump is the Dem establishment going to waste trying to prop up Janet Mills against Graham Platner? I swear the Dems haven't done anything about gun control so they can be free to shoot themselves in the foot at every opportunity.

Israelis do this to an internationally known white European activist, fully aware the story will be told, and liberal Zionists still have the unmitigated gall to claim that Palestinians are lying about torture at the hands of the Israeli government.

NEW: No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way. That's what Ezra Klein said. We can condemn this heinous assassination but also recognize that with his 2020 election denialism and extremist rhetoric, Kirk built his movement with falsehoods and in a wrong and divisive manner.

His assassination deserves full condemnation; his full impact should not be sidestepped.

There's nobody who wants to kill and imprison Democrats today who didn't want to do it yesterday. The MAGA movement is inherently violent. Charlie Kirk getting popped is an excuse, not an awakening.

NEW: 16 months ago, a young Palestinian locksmith went to help unlock a car. He's been in detention ever since. The FBI interrogated him. After refusing to become an informant, he was put in high-security as "retribution." He's not convicted of a crime—but ICE will neither free nor deport him.

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country. I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

The group @stop_antisemitism is calling me evil for wanting starving children to have food.
They called for me to be investigated by the
DOJ because I care about Palestinian children, along with all children.
It's led to me getting threats, needing security & they've tried to ruin my career. It's been incredibly painful.
But the pain doesn't compare in the slightest to what the children of Gaza experience.
And my dedication to children & their human rights is stronger than any of it.

I am so fucking sick of this vile argument that fighting anti-trans hate is making perfect the enemy of good. Forcing trans people out of society isn’t “good”!! It’s fucking evil! “Once that is done” means “let a bunch of people that I deem less important die in the meantime”. No! Fuck you!

You all going to let the idea of perfect ruin good? We need all the weapons we can muster right now to end the fascist regime. Defeat Trumpism and the GOP. Once that is done and we are moving forward I guess if you want to you can bicker about perfect.
