I was listening to the Mismatch yesterday morning and ran into Jacoby last night at a bar in NYC watching the Knicks! Really nice dude and taller than I expected. Came straight from the airport and had his suitcase with him. @ChrisVernonShow
👀"If Graham Platner – oysterman, veteran and alleged prep-school kid – weren’t advocating for broad revolt against America’s economic elite, both The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal would have left him alone. But he’s the ultimate Democratic nightmare for the same reason he’s the ultimate Republican nightmare: A super articulate, well-read working man who speaks in full paragraphs, wears his pain on his sleeve, has a house full of firearms and has openly espoused a government that puts working people first. He’s Bernie Sanders with two combat tours and an oyster grant."
The thing about libel is it has to be untrue.
A Jewish baby born today in a West Bank community will have full rights in Israel, a vote in national elections, and access to civilian courts; a Palestinian baby born in that same community will have no democratic rights, tight restrictions on their movement, frequent harassment from settlers, and no access to justice beyond what Israel’s unaccountable military courts mete out.
That’s apartheid. It’s just literally apartheid.
If you think apartheid is really evil, such that it’s a terrible thing to say about a country, well, you’re right, it is. That’s why we have an issue here.
@TheMaineWire So incredibly dumb. A freshman taking government 101 would tell you that gov offices and campaign offices are separate. Why would you post that self-own?!?!
I would have signed the data center moratorium.
Maine deserves a governor who will protect our clean air and clean water, not make billionaire’s lives easier.
Destroying the @InternetArchive's @WayBackMachine would be the equivalent of the burning of the Library of Alexandria - one of the worst losses of knowledge in history.
Media giants are now threatening to do this.
We can't let this happen.
Pass it on.
I fucking hate the Maine Wire, but they have a point here.
It's telling that there's so little organic enthusiasm for Janet Mills that they have to resort to featuring party insiders.

At least three out of the four women featured in this attack ad are longtime Democrat operatives:
-Peggy Schaffer - Former Maine Dems Vice Chair
-Lynn Bromley - Former Democrat State Senator
-Jill Barkley Roy - Director of Emerge Action Fund
-Brenda Garrand - Consultant and former longtime Maine Public board member
Just giving a layup to the Platner campaign to discredit this commercial.
@TheDanishDem I'm from Maine and worked in Maine politics for six years. I'm not just interpreting. It's not that they're members. It's that they're political operatives.
