Platner is a example of both the failure of the Dem establishment to field a competent candidate and the consequences of progressive populism untethered from a organization like DSA that can responsibly vet and develop cadre candidates over years to run for office.
There is no place in our politics for sexual violence. Not in our party, not in any party. Graham Platner must withdraw from this race today.
This is not what we stand for. Not as Democrats, not as Mainers, not as human beings. For too long, women who survive sexual violence have been told to stay quiet, to protect the men who hurt them, to think about the campaign, the party, the cause. We cannot ask women to trust us with their futures while looking the other way when one of our own hurts them. That ends here.
I believe Jenny Racicot.
amidst calls from all of us to drop out, there's a real populist rage brewing in maine. if the dem establishment think that they can risk the senate majority by not replacing platner with an acceptable substitute - we will be risking a loss to susan collins. troy jackson is him!
Credible allegations of sexual assault cannot be ignored. Voters in Maine deserve a choice for US Senate that doesn’t force them to make a moral compromise between sexual violence or corporate servitude.
How are the “Happy 4th of July” banners in #Lebanon different from the “Thank you Iran” banners? Sovereignty is not selective darling. If you want to switch patrons please spare us the independence bullshit.
In a speech marking the country’s 250th anniversary, socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani lays out his vision of a United States of America for the many, not the few. https://t.co/0gf2JKMucG
Zohran Mamdani: “Yes, we see America when we spend our tax dollars on bombs and bailouts, when we sell our elections to the highest bidder.
Yet we see it just as clearly in every American who still believes this country belongs to we, the people.” https://t.co/0gf2JKN22e
Today’s Parade of Sail on the Hudson River was stunning.
I’m so proud to be the Mayor of New York City — our nation’s first capital — and to be celebrating America’s 250th anniversary on its historic shores.
