DSA hasn’t even endorsed that fool. DSA doesnt even run white candidates 90% of the time TBH. Platner is a product of Bernard Sanders and John Fetterman former staffers. This is what I call “white fuckery”. Their playbook is to jump in early and then pretend to be a leftist/progressive, get donations and then cover their ass and play dumb when Oppo drops. This is bigger than DSA who is a minor player in only a few cities.
On March 11, 2001, two Palestinian terrorists, Amjad Awad and Hakim Awad, killed a 3-month-old infant, Hadas Fogel, in the Itamar area of Judea and Samaria.
The other victims were her father, Ehud (Udi) Fogel, her mother, Ruth Fogel, and two other children: Yoav, 11, and Elad, 4.
7 June 1877 | Jewish woman, Gilda Chwat, was born in Minsk. She emigrated to Austria and then to Belgium.
She was deported to #Auschwitz from Kazerne Dossin in Mechelen on 29 October 1942. She was murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection.
This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.
The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.
And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.
Record-breaking temperatures.
A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.
The response?
Yank out the instruments and walk away.
That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.
For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.
The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.
That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

How is Platner ‘working class’?
He comes from a distinguished and affluent family.
He went to a prestigious boarding school, Hotchkiss.
His family bought his home.
He has a vanity business.
Prior to Maine he sloshed around in DC with political elites and activists.
Dysfunctional, downwardly mobile leftists always try to pass off their destination as their origin story, but if you pay attention at all it’s not convincing.
@scarylawyerguy Except it's the hyped up on speed and self ego of grandeur far left that have to take over and destroy the Democratic party and need useless Trojan horse fools like Platner.
@scarylawyerguy The talking head class of influencers has really shown they provide no value to us. They don't investigate anything; they never break any news. They're glorified movie reaction channels, but they watch the news. Watching them all leverage any power they have for this is revealing
<whispers> there are other paths to a Senate majority for Democrats than putting all your chips on the Nazi Tattoo guy with a long history of bad decision making, anger issues, misogyny, and racism.
The price of Platner: national Democrats now face a choice between
a) Reviling a large (and maybe growing) number of women as liars; or
b) Arguing through November that twisting a woman's arm and locking her in a room is merely "messy," not violent.

I was a U.S. Naval Intelligence Officer, I served proudly in Afghanistan, and I’ve dealt with the Intelligence Community. I can say with confidence that Bill Pulte’s lack of experience is dangerous for our national security. Congress must push back and prevent an inexperienced loyalist from becoming the next Director of National Intelligence.
