It's D Day. 4,427 Allied soldiers died today so that generations not even born, like mine, could grow up in freedom. See more at https://t.co/EEg00P06y6
Did you know that the first women to land on the Normandy beachhead in June 1944 were nurses of Queen Alexandraโs Imperial Nursing Service?
Their task was to establish a field hospital for 600 wounded soldiers.
They succeeded.
Please remember these heroines who saved lives:
BREAKING: O.M.G. The woman accusing Graham Platner of "intimidation" has been EXPOSED as a top Republican operative who has worked with his opponent, Susan Collins!
This is EXACTLY what they did to Al Frankenโฆ
On Thursday evening, the New York Times ran a story in which a woman, Lindsey Fifield, accused Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner of grabbing her by the arm, twisting her arm, and of standing in a doorway menacingly blocking her exit.
The New York Times could not corroborate any of her accusations, but ran the story anyway, along with allegations from a few other women that Graham Platner could be unsettling, had dark thoughts, and generally had spooky vibes as a boyfriend.
They also spoke to several other women who said he was a lovely boyfriend and they happily supported his candidacy.
Itโs now coming out that Lindsey Fifeld is a lifelong GOP operative who has worked with Platnerโs Republican opponent, Susan Collins, and successfully persuaded her to vote in favor of Brett Kavanaugh, Trumpโs Supreme Court justice who is an ACTUAL rapist.
In one message to a friend, Fifeld wrote โI will personally go campaign for Collins.โ
Reporter Ryan Grim at Drop Site News reports that โIn 2014, Fifield began work as digital director for American Action Network, a Republican Super PAC that oversees House races. The next year she became social media manager for the Heritage Foundation, where she stayed for the next seven years.โ
โIn 2022, she joined the Super PAC backing Nikki Haley for president, switching to the official campaign side the next year, and staying until the campaign flamed out. She now lists herself as a visiting fellow at the Independent Womenโs Forum, a prominent dark money group that is best known for helping usher Brett Kavanaugh on to the Supreme Court and giving Susan Collins the talking points she needed to make her decisive speech in his favor.โ
โThe NYT breezed past all this, saying she was โa Virginia conservative who has worked for right-leaning groups and Republican campaigns.โโ
โMeanwhile, the timeline Fifield gives of their relationship is confusing, because during at least some of that time she was actually dating a different person, her longterm boyfriend who became her fiancee before she called off the wedding in 2018. We all know this because she and [Zionist extremist Bethany] Mandel did a podcast episode on it that went mega-viral in Republican circles back then.โ
It should be noted as well that Lindsey Fifeld has a long history of making up baseless lies about Palestinians targeted by the Trump administration like Mahmoud Khalil and Rumeysa Ozturk.
Folks, pardon our French, but this is *bullshit.*
This is an abhorrent attempt to weaponize domestic violence and the mental trauma of dealing with PTSD in order to sink a leftist candidate who staunchly opposes the Israeli genocide of Gaza.
Oh, and if that wasn't enough, the reporter on this article is Katie Gluek, an ardent Zionist whose parents are Israeli settler-occupiers in the West Bank.
Platnerโs campaign responded with โLetโs be very clear: This is a lifelong G.O.P. operative whoโs dedicated her career to electing Republicans.โ
What else is there to say?
Graham Platner is obviously a very imperfect person, but we are not electing him to be our boyfriend. He has been very open about his struggles with PTSD; he saw four of his squadmates killed in an IED explosion in Iraq.
This smear campaign, based on uncorroborated allegations by a woman who literally said she would work for his opponent, is part of his punishment for being a progressive who isnโt afraid to stand against Israel, to stand against the health insurance behemoths, and to demand a better life for the American people.
They managed to sink Al Franken like this. They will NOT succeed again!
Good Morning.

Three years ago, russia destroyed the Kakhovka Dam.
The flood badly damaged Polina Raikoโs painted house in occupied Oleshky.
She began painting at 69 and turned her home into art.
The video shows a reconstruction of the house, created for the Ukraine WOW exhibition.
