Unlike the Nazis, I am sure they are doing it on purely scientific grounds. You can’t trust a Mohammedan, things of that nature.

Half a dozen congressional Democrats haven’t endorsed their party’s nominee for NYC mayor. It might not matter.

It’s not just Schumer and Jeffries who are staying quiet on New York City’s mayoral race.

Yes, thank God the New York Democratic Congressional delegation including national leadership is rallying around Zohran Mamdami for Mayor! They unders… ohh, oh, OK, I’m hearing they are still supporting Cuomo. Nevertheless!

The Muslim Democratic Candidate for Mayor of New York City is not sufficiently deferential to the state of Israel and therefore anyone else is preferential. Thank you Dan for stating that clearly.

Daniel Goldman went onto CNN earlier *TODAY* and said

1) He isn't sure if he'll vote for Andrew Cuomo
2) And that he won't endorse Mamdani because Mamdnai has not done enough condemnations of anti-Israel violence

I like Platner's posts as much as any red-blooded progressive but you don't get a pass for having a Nazi tattoo just by being in the Corps and working blue-collar jobs. Source: me, a guy who knows a bunch of Marines and worked construction.

This guy obviously sucks but asking Gillibrand for a comment about it is hilarious. It would be nice if we would treat people that hate Muslims as much as she does the same way we *should* treat Nazis in this country.

NEW: 200+ Chicago-area clergy — Protestants, Catholics, and evangelicals — have signed a letter decrying ICE's efforts and voicing a willingness to put their "bodies on the line" for migrants.

"What Kristi Noem and her ICE agents are doing is immoral," they write. religionnews.com/2025/10/21/a...

(RNS) - Last Friday (Oct. 17), the Rev. Hannah Kardon, a United Methodist minister in the Chicago area, stood alongside other protesters demonstrating outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Broadview, Illinois. As a line of Illinois State Police began marching toward her and other demonstrators, gripping wooden batons, footage shows the pastor with her hands raised in prayer.
Officers then pushed into the protesters, forcing them back.
One officer shifted his stance, reared back and began shoving his baton like a battering ram - jamming it repeatedly, Kardon says, into her leg. A few seconds later, the pastor was pulled from the crowd and thrown to the ground.
All the while, Kardon says, she never stopped praying. When officers began to arrest her, they tied her arms behind her back and placed her along the curb.
"I said, 'God, please help these people to know that what they're doing is wrong, and help them to turn around," Kardon, who leads United Church of Rogers Park in Chicago, said in an interview. Her leg, she said, has developed visible bruises.

I think I found the TV miniseries that Trump was talking about today. It's called "A Woman Named Jackie" and aired on NBC in 1991.

He misremembered what happened, of course. Jackie Kennedy's assistant is the one who tries to get into the pool, where JFK is swimming with mistresses.

After this far-right propagandist put an inflammatory spotlight on vendors on Canal Street, ICE agents were spotted at the location making indiscriminate arrests of anyone they think looks like a delivery person or vendor (ie: not white)

WATCH: A huge group of African illegal immigrants are operating a black market on the corner of Broadway and Canal St in New York City.
The entire sidewalk is filled with illegals who state they are from Senegal and I watched as they fled police.
This corner looks exactly like the streets of Paris and the migrants even became angry and tried to tell me I couldn't film (similar to Paris).
As I was reporting, the migrants began scrambling to pick up their items before fleeing into vehicles or on foot due to police presence in the area.
One of the migrants explained to me that they're operating "without a license" and if the police catch them, they'll confiscate all of their items.

There were at least 20-30 illegals in the area conducting business that they know is against the law, however, this seems to be a common occurrence on this street and business is booming.
Perhaps @ICEgov should go check this corner out

"ICE declined to answer questions about the basement detentions in response to inquiries from Times of San Diego.

Instead, in an email, an official suggested the agency be given the ID number for any migrant who had spoken with a reporter."

Asylum-seekers now held for days – in a downtown San Diego basement

Migrants held in makeshift conditions in basement offices say they slept in the cold, used the restroom without privacy and went without medical attention.

All this Platner news makes me queasy, but I'll also say this entire arc of life he describes (basically good instincts, unbelievably provincial, saturated in toxic masculinity, growing more progressive as he ages) is a very common thing here in Maine.

And this interview just dropped so idk maybe he has an explanation and maybe it’s recoverable but it’s a cautionary tale about people getting invested in the aesthetics of a candidate, not an actual candidate
