Very good video. If I lived in Maine, I’d at the absolute minimum be giving this guy an opportunity to get my vote.

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · Aug 19

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.

Because FIFA, just like the IOC is one of the most corrupt organizations on the planet.

Possibly. I prefer to call it a “don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out-exit”

Owning and controlling the means of information exchange is the new status symbol for the Oligarchy. Giant yachts are cool, but the ultimate flex is owning what and how things are reported on.

Eric 🇺🇦 🇨🇦 @itus.bsky.social · 16h

Nope. This exact deal was ready to go last year. Then Netanyahu flew to Mar-a-lago and he and Trump decided it would hurt Democrats chances and help Trump to keep the genocide going.

Eric 🇺🇦 🇨🇦 @itus.bsky.social · 16h

WaPo could lose $50 million/yr and Bezos wouldn’t even notice. For Oligarchs, owning ridiculously sized yachts is a status symbol, but the ultimate flex is owning/controlling information.

My take? Israel wasn’t listening to Biden for two reasons;

1) Trump in the WH is better for Netanyahu, so ignoring Biden and sowing division in the Democratic Party was good strategy for Netanyahu

2) Isreal hadn’t achieved its objectives in Gaza— which were to exact revenge and level everything

This seems a little unfair to guys like @mattgertz.bsky.social that have been fighting for their sanity for years.

If there’s anyone left alive that prosecuted this man, they should spend the rest of their lives in prison.
