@Number10cat Cat check: they want something more than it to be glossed over

Eric Swalwell must be fucking furious watching the Dems continue to support Platner for roughly the same thing he did but with a Nazi tattoo.

@LizMair Does this stain in Maine carry over to other states/national reach?

Hezbollah began firing rockets isn’t an escalation.

But Israel responding is escalating the conflict.

You cannot hate the New York Times enough.

Six years ago today. This was real. This was policy. This is how we found ourselves living in ANIMAL FARM.

I’m glad Lyndsey detailed this -

-The NYT found HER
-They got her agreement to go on the record based on the understanding that they weren’t hanging her out to dry
-They connected her with other victims with vivid stories - that didn’t even get included
-They spent more of the story explaining why she might not be credible
-They gave Platner pushback more validity than Lyndsey’s account - and continued to press her to relive and re-prove everything she had about the most toxic point in her life
-Editors seem more interested in killing a story than getting facts right or shining a light on horrific behavior from a major candidate for office

Journalists made themselves the heroes of the #MeToo movement - they even made movies about it. But the lesson from this is journalists role in exposing bad behavior is different if the accuser is an (R) and the powerful person being accused is a (D).

@ZaidJilani The reality you construct seems nice, do butterflies live forever there?

I'd genuinely like to hear someone explain why Elon Musk doing an autistic wave at inauguration was proof that he is a Nazi who needs to be exiled from public life, but Graham Platner's "Totenkopf" tat is NBD and not disqualifying for a Senate run.
