Graham Platner: “I believe that a politics that is willing to sell anyone out will eventually sell everyone out. I have no patience in throwing people under the bus. I have no patience with this kind of modern idea where we think well if we just sell out immigrants a little bit we’ll get some more power. Or if we sell out trans kids a little bit we’ll get some more power. That is not the answer”
This statement changes nothing.
The President has threatened a genocide against the Iranian people, and is continuing to leverage that threat.
He has launched a massive war of enormous risk and of catastrophic consequence without reason, rationale, nor Congressional authorization - which is as clear a violation of the Constitution as any. Each day this goes on, the risk and criminality of these actions escalate for our nation and the world.
Moreover, this administration’s self enrichment, insider trading, and pure corruption off this chaos - from crypto currencies to predictive trading markets to bribe “settlements” - has placed the Trump administration’s pursuit of personal wealth squarely against the wellbeing of our nation and its people.
All of these incidents, and plenty more, have clearly driven our country past the threshold for impeachment or invocation of the 25th amendment.
We cannot risk the world nor the wellbeing of our nation any longer. None of these considerations should be partisan, but shared in good faith by Americans of all backgrounds who care for the safety and stability of the United States.
Whether by his Cabinet or Congress, the President must be removed from office. We are playing with the brink.
🚨A senior Iranian official told me that this proposal floated by the Pakistani PM for a temporary ceasefire is essentially the same as previous Trump attempts, which Iran has rejected. Iran has already delivered its terms for negotiating an end to the war.
“A balanced proposal, endorsed by all mediators, has already been conveyed to the American side,” the official said. “Washington now has at its disposal all the elements required to reach a decision that will bring an end to the war.”
This is nuts, Trump really did do exactly what Ryan Grim suggested he do hours earlier: pretend Iran's ten-point plan is a new proposal, counting on the fact that the media hasn't been reporting on Iran's demands to make it look like a new offer Tehran put forward in desperation.
After the tragic 2015 Chapel Hill murders, @NidaAllam turned unimaginable loss into a commitment to justice.
Nida Allam answers to working families—not billionaires, not corporate power, and not Super PACs.
I'm proud to endorse her for Congress.
We are proud to announce our first endorsement of the 2026 midterms: @CoriBush!
Cori is a former Member of Congress, a nurse, a pastor, an activist, and a mother who has directly experienced the struggles that so many in St. Louis are facing. 🧵
81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.
Zohran Mamdani's win is "proof of concept of how to fight fascism," says @naomiaklein. "Fascists want everybody to be the same. They celebrate conformity, uniformity, sameness, hierarchy. … The entire [Mamdani] campaign was a love letter to the diversity" of New York.
Starting at 1% in the polls, @ZohranKMamdani pulled off one of the great political upsets in modern American history.
Yes. We CAN create a government that represents working people and not the 1%.
I look forward to working with Zohran as he builds a city that works for all.
Had the weirdest experience trying to join this @discord server:
https://t.co/mtTg9qRCzz
In their vetting to join they asked me "Do you support Hamas?" Then banned me when I said no, I am pro peace.
Hey @discord_support, doesn't this violate your extremism policy? Shut it down
All eyes on Sumud.

Fuck your feelings. But my feelings are precious.
Violence is never ok. But people I don't like should die.
Free speech is when I can say what I want without consequences. But your words have consequences.
You should respect the dead. But I can mock them.
Cancel culture is wrong. Except when it's used on people I disagree with with.
When you do it, it's wrong. When I do it, it's right.
