I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Fair enough. I appreciate the point and have deleted.

We're in the period where I go outside and it's cold and I come inside and it's hot and I think I'm pregnant

I don’t understand why anyone’s debating this — a Nazi tattoo is a non starter, full stop.

This is a race for a U.S. Senate seat. The bar for candidates to clear doesn’t have to be insanely high, but it should at least be off the ground

"sick tats" 😬

Jeffrey Phillips @11thjeff.bsky.social · 17h

After hearing this guy shitposts on Reddit and has sick tats, I'm even more FOR him to defeat Susan Collins.

We need to stop holding rising Progressives to impossible standards; more real and imperfect they are, the more we need them in office. Can't fight Nazis w/ the Hakeem Jeffries of the world!

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 17h

If we want to defeat Susan Collins, we need to try something new. The same old tired playbook will not work.

"Trump is going to invade American cities and bulldoze the White House" would have been seen as an alarmist liberal fever dream thing to say a year ago

Outlook likes to come out with a different look every day. I couldn't possibly want the "My Day" pane to just stay open all the time, could I?

It's really OK to change your mind when new facts are presented. It really is.

There are only two Dem options in Maine, sadly. A thousand year old lady and a dude with a twenty year old Nazi tattoo. There are no other choices, just the two.

"Let the dude with the Nazi tattoo redeem himself?"

You have to be willing to walk away from these guys if they let you down, just as a matter of basic self respect. It's not a fandom. You're hiring them to do a job or not.

I liked the Platner ads too but I think there's a difference between "guy who had some bad reddit posts a decade ago" and "ex-Blackwater merc who still has a Nazi tattoo." Sucks bigtime that he's the only one taking positions and talking policy I like, but them's the breaks!

Bernie isn't admitting he is wrong *now*.

Tweets from John Bresnahan, @bresreports:
An angry Bernie Sanders won’t drop his support for Graham Platner despite a Nazi tattoo on his chest

2/ Sanders said Platner “as a young man” went thru some really difficult experiences” in Iraq and Afghanistan.

3/ Sanders: “I personally think he is an excellent candidate and will support him, and I look forward to him becoming the next senator from Maine.”

4/ When pressed on Platner’s Nazi tattoo, Sanders lashed out at the “corrupt campaign finance system” adding “We don’t have enough candidates in this country that will take on the powers that be and fight for the working class.”
