For your consideration, an alternative to Susan Collins

Graham Platner for Senate@grahamformaine.bsky.social

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country. I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

Thanks to their willingness to push blatant lies, this administration has given away all of their body language “tells.” At this point it’s like they’re on a lie detector whenever they have a presser.

Don’t forget: Trump already tried to sue a woman in 2023 for calling him a rapist, and a judge threw the case out. The woman he tried to sue? E Jean Carroll. 😂

38 days ago Anonymous said they were dropping a bombshell on the 4th of July. I could use some good news right about now, so if they would just like, go ahead and drop it already, that would be grrreeaat. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Let me get this straight: Trump gives Putin 2 weeks to agree to ceasefire. Putin doesn’t agree, keeps bombing Ukraine. As a response, a show of strength and executive power, Trump… silently ceases aid shipments to Ukraine?? 🇺🇦 Putin wins, Trump loses. 🌮 🐔

Trump administration can’t send this man’s company enough contracts. Co-founded by Peter Thiel, who gave us JD Vance. These people have unhealthy and un-democratic aspirations. And they’re fucking weird.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

A GREAT majority of human suffering could be prevented if men, (THE YANG!) could appreciate the fact that the other half of literally everything is female (THE YIN!) Thank you for your attention to this matter

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

It's mind-blowing how little attention this extraordinary statement has received. It's briefly mentioned in a couple news articles, but this MSNBC opinion piece is the only extended discussion of it I've seen: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

What country is this?

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

You're going to respond "in a time and place of your choosing?!" Do you think that's somehow intimidating? We know you're doing NOTHING, ANYWHERE, EVER. Why do you think there's a better time and place than here and now, #Jeffries? MEET THE MOMENT OR LEAVE.

Since taking office, the Trump Administration has clawed back billions in federal funding—money that was already appropriated by Congress. Here in Maine, communities (and farmers) are already feeling the impacts of these illegal cuts, forcing ordinary people to step up in extraordinary ways. (1/8)

Don’t yield to disrespectful men

Weber: I'm glad you're addressing us instead of speaking to the camera. … AOC: There are 13.7 million Americans on the other side of that screen. Hello. I’m talking to you because I work for you. They deserve to see what is happening here..
