@ryangrim i can’t believe people actually think stuff like this, let alone tweet it

[Sopo Japaridze @sopjap]

The Graham Platner debate/condemnation overlooks a glaring truth. The alleged victim herself ties his violence to drinking and PTSD yet these are predictable outcomes of combat deployment. Soldiers routinely return with substance abuse and heightened aggression, disproportionately directed at their partners, including higher rates of physical assault and rape. This is the direct consequence of U.S. military imperialism: commit atrocities abroad, provide grossly insufficient care for vets, and leave American society, especially families, to bear the domestic burden.

But instead of confronting this systemic logic, US individualizes it. US media/people/society grafts onto each person as a personal moral failing. "PTSD (or fill in the blank) is not an excuse" becomes the reflexive mantra because it lets the U.S. dodge accountability. That's how America (not) solves everything: pathologically individualizing systemic problems to avoid reckoning with its own imperialist machinery.

It’s only very American that Platner allegedly wanted to fix the structural devastation of war and its domestic fallout. Yet he was deemed morally unacceptable and condemned, forced to drop out of the political race not because he deviated from the American system, but precisely because he embodied the violence and substance abuse adapted into him.

At the end of the day, someone who’s never been to war will happily support going to another war, and they’ll never have to pay for its consequences. They won’t be the millions of Iraqi, Afghan, Iran, Palestinian who dies at the hands of US soldiers and US weapons or the partners who will face the violence of the soldiers returning home.

@davidsirota most of them don’t care what their voters want….

@liliceberg1of1 @brokenopened @genospectra @ryangrim @DropSiteNews we have no idea what their sex life was like…in some relationships glute massage means just that. in others, it represents a desire for intimacy , in others… it could go either way. this is why the info shouldn’t have been excluded by politico.

@JP_Polnareff69 @genospectra @ryangrim @DropSiteNews additionally this brazen omission calls the rest of the reporting (ie: how exactly did this corroboration unfold) into question. just an awful look by politico

[katie @_DontShootEm]

@genospectra @ryangrim @DropSiteNews the people should have access to the full series of events in order to vet them for themselves. the fact that jenny was honest about this and POLITICO decided to not include it is a major ethical misstep and calls the remainder of the reporting into question.

[katie @_DontShootEm]

@DropSiteNews unfortunately this is only the beginning of the oddities with this reporting. the emails from the therapist are sent messages FROM jenny to which the therapist responds “you shouldn’t have to go public to be believed”. they do not even say that she mentions her rapist by name

@OurRevolution except they think this is their opening because they ensured it would go this way….

The hardest working person in the world likely lives in poverty. Hard work almost never translates to wealth. But exploitation of labor often does. The hard work myth needs to dıė

.,,,or perhaps they know who his source is and they can’t do anything to shut them up 🧐 so they did what they did. still embarrassing

[katie @_DontShootEm]

so they don’t like they can’t figure out who his source is…. so instead of just moving on, they revoke his access.

embarrassing

On April 3rd, Milwaukee was 5-22 and one of the worst teams in the country.

Some of their losses:

Run-ruled 21-7 by LSU
Run-ruled 20-3 by Duke
Run-ruled 14-4 by Minnesota
Run-ruled 12-2 by SEMO
Run-ruled 17-1 by Purdue
Run-ruled 14-1 by NKU
Run-ruled 13-2 by Wright State
Run-ruled 16-2 by Notre Dame
Run-ruled 14-4 by UNLV

They finished the regular season 22-31, but won the Horizon League tournament and earned an autobid to the NCAA tournament.

Milwaukee beat #4 Auburn 13-8, beat UCF 13-6, and is now in a regional final, one win away from going to supers.
