Blue dot in a sea of red. Never dreamed I’d see a day when millions prefer a dictator but here we are. #smokefleet

headlines from Bezos’s oped page since Platner started publicly criticizing Bezos

[𐌁𐌉Ᏽ 𐌕𐌉𐌌𐌉 @OrevaZSN]

No one earns a billion dollars. Billionaires exist because millions of workers are paid far less than the value they create. Nobody works a billion times harder than a nurse, a farmer, or a teacher. Stop glorifying wealth hoarders. They’re just professional wage thieves.

[D.M. Ridley @RidleyDM]

To Democrats who oppose Platner: Just be honest about what you're doing. That's all. Be honest and admit that you think it's more important to take a stand against personal peccadilloes than to enact any reforms to undo the harms of Trumpism or to have a non-reactionary Supreme Court in our lifetimes. And if you claim Democrats who support Platner are just like Trump supporters, just admit that the comparison is disingenuous, since Platner isn't campaigning to "own" half of America and no one is supporting him in the hopes he will.

[Forrest Miller 🎥🏆 @AlwaysFlacko]

The way they found Platner is that he was an organizer in a Maine Environmental Activist group that mobilized to stop a giant salmon farm from going in Frenchman Bay and he was in the video explaining the damage this gigantic salmon farm would do.

Good morning and Happy Wednesday to everyone who agrees that the audio of Speaker Johnson ADMITTING that he's planning on cutting Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security SHOULD BE A HUGE STORY.

Don't let him slide on this.

BREAKING: We're suing the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service over their plan to give away 715 acres of a public wildlife refuge to billionaire corporation Space X.

Americans shouldn't be sacrificing their public lands to subsidize a company owned by the richest man in the world.

13 workers left Palantir and issued this statement.

"Palantir is increasingly complicit, normalizing authoritarianism under the guise of a 'revolution' led by oligarchs. We must resist this trend."

@CubsWorld80 Useless bat these days. But then most of the lineup sucks and awful masks awful.

[Jessica Tarlov @JessicaTarlov]

The race is Maine is about change — just like races all over the country.

The facts are that Susan Collins votes with Trump 95% of the time, backs his judicial nominees, and then campaigns as an independent voice. That's exactly the disconnect fueling voter frustration across the country and why Democratic voters can get behind Graham Platner.

And here's the irony: Republicans attacking their opponent over personal scandals are using the same attacks they spent years dismissing when it came to Trump. It’s embarrassing.

[Monjula Ray 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🥥 @queerBengali]

Yeah I’m supporting the man who didn’t enable Trump justices.

Hope that helps.

Also that woman is a GOP operative so I will call her that. Pity the rest of you ate so dumb you believe a GOP operative.

@KFidds I know things are worse when they lose but I’ve been saying for years Hoyer will never build a contender as the alpha. I also think he was very fortunate to get the gig with Theo and they caught lightning in a bottle. Thank god too. The franchise feels decades away from another.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Donald Trump's former economic advisor just admitted on Fox News that inflation is being driven nearly exclusively by bad decisions that Donald Trump has made. Wow.

[LanaQuest aka RosaSparks @LqLana]

Collins is a snake. She wants you to think she's on your side then she bites you. She is the reason why women don't have bodily autonomy. #DemsUnited

@AaronRegunberg Nor could 99.9999% of the population. Let alone it being used by the Prussian army long before then as a symbol of bravery. Pirates flew the Jolly Roger in the 18th century. Next thing people will be saying he’s unfit because he loves pirates. 🙄

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

@FakeMAGAPatriot I’m loathe to dunk on anybody based on their appearance…except for Stephen “dick head” Miller. He is the exception.

[Joe Wrote @joewrote]

1. Platner isn't DSA (we're living rent-free up there)
2. The "process" that chose him is called 'democracy.'
3. Yeah, people like candidates who focus on their state more than Israel.

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

Good morning, Maine!

Hitting the trail.
