On the left, bi, she/her

I like RDR2, historical fashion, and public transit

Yes, I actually have narcolepsy (w/o cataplexy) and I'm happy to talk about it!

[Partisan Bi @Nar_olepsy]

I'm in the new place. Still mostly going to be here, until everyone else is gone or we can no longer say, "I can't believe this site is free."

@narolepsy there, since they don't do underscores

[David Dayen @ddayen]

Seems to me like the Maine Dem party has a little less than 3 weeks to do a fire house primary, which would be the right thing to do and potentially energizing

[Lindsey Boylan @LindseyBoylan]

Reminder: there is no excuse for smearing survivors who come forward about sexual assault. It doesn’t make you righteous because you agree politically with the abuser.

@ADealInCrypto @adamscochran Rape is not a "misstep"

[Vail Kohnert-Yount @vailkoyo]

Solidarity with Jenny Racicot. She has shown far more courage & compassion than any of the people using her story as an opportunity to promote their politics as usual.

[Partisan Bi @Nar_olepsy]

@hackellank @ThatGMoney @CantEverDie three guesses why I might take this personally

first two don't count

[Partisan Bi @Nar_olepsy]

@coastalmom11 @adamscochran Is he going to jail yet? No.

No one is depriving him of his rights. He just doesn't get to be a US Senator.

[Partisan Bi @Nar_olepsy]

@KFILE Flippant remarks like this aren't helping anything

[Partisan Bi @Nar_olepsy]

@th3witn3zz @adamscochran Be grateful if you can't understand the experience of being raped by someone you previously had a consensual relationship. Denial and struggling with feelings of guilt are very common and confronting that is painful.

[Annie Wu (all socials: @annie_wu_22) @Annie_Wu_22]

It’s okay to change your mind when presented new info.

I’ll do it. I’ll admit it. We all should when needed!

& given the nature of these allegations, the “we were right” reaction is weird + gross.

A horrific experience a woman had… Nobody should want to be right about that.

[Will Mantell @WillMantell]

@JonathanCohn All of the candidates were ranked by a majority of Dems. 77% ranked Pingree (including 67% who ranked her top three), 70% Shah, 62% Jackson, 73% Bellows

More here, including head-to-head matchups

What’s great about RCV is that you can take the ME-GOV ballots, redistribute the votes from Hannah Pingree, and produce another candidate with a statewide majority from Democratic primary voters if you need to.

[Partisan Bi @Nar_olepsy]

I can absolutely understand why she didn't come forward earlier. I can see the hypotheticals and qualifications she might have wrestled with in getting past the denial phase. And I hope she is with family and friends right now, phone off.

[Partisan Bi @Nar_olepsy]

@RebeccaSci8178 @adamscochran Also, just saw you called it "non-criminal behavior" when I'm pretty sure rape is a crime, even in Maine.

[Partisan Bi @Nar_olepsy]

@RebeccaSci8178 @adamscochran Rape victim here: shut the fuck up

[Partisan Bi @Nar_olepsy]

@Sufthegoat @adamscochran Yeah, and that's bad

[Partisan Bi @Nar_olepsy]

@rrla12164133 @adamscochran We don't need a rapist. If we support rapists because it came out "too late" all that does is make other women less likely to come forward for fear it won't make a difference and they revisit their trauma/get called a liar for nothing.

[Partisan Bi @Nar_olepsy]

@CantEverDie I wasn't saying you were

IDK, maybe with all the Epstein list jokes people have forgotten that it's not a laughing matter

[Partisan Bi @Nar_olepsy]

People being glib/gleeful about this whole thing can go fuck themselves.

He should drop out immediately, but some people are treating this as a way to score points and it's disgusting.
