Platner reshuffles campaign and sends out NDAs as he struggles to get ahead of controversies The Maine Senate candidate is bringing on a new campaign manager, among other changes.

I saw in Politico that Platner has brought on Kevin Brown, an alum of the Warren and Obama campaigns to help him out.

Apparently Brown is a "longtime friend" and has never worked in a Maine race before and yeah, this guy seems like a totally normal working class oyster farmer.

ah, hey, you alright?

Hell yeah.

yeeeah, definitely dropping mine off tomorrow

This paragraph seems pretty important ...

I don’t know how many times I have to say this but if you didn’t know any geek girls in high school or you don’t know any now it’s because they didn’t trust you and you’re *NOT A SAFE PERSON* for women to be themselves around.

Many, like Denver Public Library, have added social worker positions because the need is so great. Though you may not realize it, not only do these positions exist, but their effective caseloads rival hospitals and jails, so please be kind, they do not have it "easier" just bc they are in a library.

Remember when ElonMusk called people that receive government assistance the parasite class.

Welp, starvation is a way to get rid of them.

If you can figure out a way to help. Call your local food banks/mutual aid networks ask what they need the most help offer what you can.

A lot of pop culture remained in public consciousness because TV networks found out you could rerun old shows, and early cable TV was especially built on that. Used to be folks could regularly make references to Gilligan's Island or The Beverly Hillbillies or The Three Stooges decades after the fact

I am fast becoming a single issue voter. And that issue is prosecute every one of these motherfuckers.

I used to work for ActBlue & the way to make sure you get a refund is NOT to say that you’ve changed your mind because of ideological reasons—just say you made the donation “by mistake”

Mark Walter, principal owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, serves as CEO of Guggenheim Partners, which holds ~$12 million stake in the GEO Group, a private prison corporation that operates ICE detention centers.

This is why the Dodgers won’t directly condemn the raids destroying immigrant families.

There's also NYC. The Angels are really based out of Anaheim but use the L.A. branding

But hey immigrant kids were wrong for calling her out and We should risk putting another supposed racist lefty in

Ryan Grim @ryangrim If there was a Chris Rufo of the left who could make strategic decisions and actually marshall action, she would say right now that defending Platner is not only important as the best way for Dems to win the Maine Senate seat, but also is strategically imperative in order to strip the party establishment of the most potent tool it wields against the left, weaponized identity politics. Demonstrating that that cancel-dog no longer hunts will require party bosses to argue on the merits. And the party base wants Platner's platform, not that of Mills, who has blocked more progressive change in Maine than she has supported. They fear a level playing field. Remember that cancel culture/ID politics was supercharged by the Hillary Clinton campaign, which argued that, okay, yes, you might like Bernie's platform but his young male supporters are white and male and angry and racist and sexist and did we mention white and male. That cynical gambit sent the party spiraling into the ditch it's in now. Strip them of that weapon and all that's left is their big donors, who grassroots Dems hate and can match dollar-for-dollar with small contributions.

This is correct. If there were a Chris Rufo of the left he would be all for doubling down on Platner and recasting the issue as "cancel culture"

There is no Chris Rufo of the left because we have principles that go beyond "crush our enemies at any cost"

a photograph of the interior of a church. Several people are visible sitting in pews. In the pew immediately in front of the photographer, a black human-sized cardboard cutout in the outline of a woman is visible, as though a shadow is sitting in the pew in front of you.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

I am on record saying that people have a right to speak when they want to speak and not if they don't. There are any number of reasons to hold fire in this world. But these folks in particular know why they're not speaking out, and it comes down to cowardice and fear. I hope it eats at them.

Ugh. Apparently All Canadians will now be photographed when entering and exiting the USA and the only "news" org I find who has reported it is NP and I refuse to click and share one od their links
