Linda Sarsour was a useful punching bag for those who successfully splintered The Women’s March org during Trump 1.0.

Somebody decided at the last minute of this campaign to rerun that play.

The US was poised to join most of the rest of the planet in adopting the metric system in the late 1970s, but conservative hero Ronald Reagan killed it. Blame him.

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house.

Remove him from office.

With Trump overseas and the Republican House on vacation, here’s how Republicans’ health insurance sticker shock is landing in RI: this family of 3 would see their monthly premium spike $547.

Time for Rs to get serious about fixing this.

This is several days old. But amidst so much else id missed it. That’s a stunning number. No wonder they about-faced. Reminder of the power of consumers in oligarch era, not subject to the same kind of targeting.

I hope it *was* asbestos & black mold, bc there are no abatement measures happening, which means this entire rogue regime is breathing it all in.

ACLU reporting that “several of the 6 women detained at South Louisiana ICE Center in Basile, LA, & Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, GA were pregnant & have miscarried while in custody.”

0 outrage from MAGAs about these fetuses. They were never about life. They are only about control of women.

In the Portland area, a school had to cancel classes yesterday bc of 🧊.

Cancelling school/church bc of deadly pandemic = TYRANNY.

Cancelling school/church bc of racist fascists = AOK.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

I wonder where he bought the costume. That place should be exposed, shamed & shut down.

But this guy? He reads like a disaster waiting to happen. The next John Fetterman. He’s not the one. Let’s cut our losses & find a better candidate while there’s still time.

He worked for Blackwater in Afganistan long after it was plausible to claim he didn’t know what Blackwater was all about.

I’m so disappointed he’s not the guy he first seemed to be. But the primary’s not till June. There are other people in the race who aren’t Janet Mills.

His dad was a lawyer, his mom a restaurateur. He went to not 1, but 2 exclusive New England prep schools. None of that is disqualifying per se, but he seems to have a pattern of grossly misrepresenting who he is & getting away with it because he’s a burly white dude with a baritone voice.

The guy came off to me as a loudmouthed failson who doesn’t know what to do next in life.

His grandfather was a noted modernist architect who designed celebrated restaurants & buildings at Yale, and has a Knoll designer chair named after him!

My take on Platner after listening to the Pod Save America interview that sparked the kerfuffle over his tattoo:

His explanations for the both the tattoo & his bigoted Reddit posts do not fly.
