A few thoughts on Graham Platner, from someone who was a big fan of his 7 days ago:
It’s confounding/depressing to watch people twist themselves into knots trying to defend him, buying the same clichéd excuses they'd rightfully reject if they came from a Republican or mainstream Dem. (1/5)

This moment is providing a pretty clear litmus test of which people with national platforms actually care about stopping fascism. Who you can trust and who you can’t.
You can vehemently condemn political violence without complimenting and praising fascists! It’s not hard!

Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.

Just skipping past the "papers please" phase and going right to "disappeared in broad daylight." Over an op-ed.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

I don’t understand who would forget about a subscription and need an app to catch it. Are we not all checking our bank and credit card balances 20x a day and entering all transactions into a separate spreadsheet that they reconcile as part of their nighttime routine every day?

Guy in front of me on this flight is watching the Scott’s Tots episode of The Office. He navigated Delta’s VOD menu and made the choice to endure the most awkward 22 minutes in TV history. Not sure whether I should be impressed or scared.

100 percent behind the brothers and sisters of the UAW in their fight for a fair contract.
Also hoping that once they make the automakers cave on everything, they sneakily insert a provision requiring "Stellantis" to change its name to Chrysler.

In the past year, I've had multiple problems - most recently a big pothole on my street - solved quickly by simply writing a local elected official.
It's such an underrated thing, and I feel like almost no one does it. Maybe people are too jaded?

First full day on here proved to be a great one to check whether it could replace the X-site as a de facto news service. And it was pretty good! A lot of informed/smart/clever/insightful people on here!
