I'm new to Bluesky as of 26 August 25.
I like old tymes and natural thynges.
That's my mom's old green stuff jello mold recipe and a 1790s New England canal remnant that lost most of itself to the river.

The resignations occurred in late October 2025 and included the national finance director, Ronald Holmes, who resigned on October 31, 2025. The campaign manager, Kevin Brown, also stepped down, citing family reasons. Political director Genevieve McDonald resigned earlier, stating she could not ignore Platner's past Reddit posts where he identified as a communist and minimized sexual assault in the military. Another unnamed staffer also resigned. These departures have created significant challenges for Platner's campaign amidst the controversies. Platner has apologized for

Victoria Perrone resigned from her position as treasurer on Tuesday, October 28, and her firm, Spruce Street, will no longer handle campaign compliance—after less than a month of working for Platner—according to a source familiar with the matter who was granted anonymity by The Judge Street Journal to provide context to the new revelation.

A spokesperson for Platner, Joe Calvello, confirmed Perrone’s departure to The Judge Street Journal.

On October 31st, the Platner campaign filed a new Statement of Organization that listed Ben Martello as treasurer. Perrone had been listed as treasurer on a prior Statement of Organization filed on October 16.

News of the shake-up—which has not been previously reported—comes less than 48 hours after Platner’s finance director Ronald Holmes publicly resigned. On Friday morning, Holmes posted on LinkedIn that his “professional standards as a campaign professional no longer fully aligned with those of the campaign.”

Perrone, Martello, and Holmes did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

do you have a source other than the maine state press on x?

they're the only site running the narrative you describe about palantir

i've added a pic that shows additional information re: how the reddit posts platner deleted were accessed

www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

CNN first reported Thursday on Platner’s participation on the subreddit r/SocialistRA, alongside other Reddit forums where he called himself a “communist” and said that “all” police are bastards. All of the posts have been deleted.

The posts, which were removed three months ago shortly before Platner launched his Senate bid, were obtained by POLITICO and verified using an archive of deleted Reddit comments and by cross-checking other posts by the same user that mentioned biographical details consistent with the candidate’s life.

Thank you for bringing the attention. In New England, late 1800s+ schools were built to resemble factories so students would slide seamlessly from one to the other; Triangle Shirtwaist Co owners were open about hiring kids because kids didn't complain like adults.
Army: brainless human = perfect.

Army recruitment poster from 1916 where the examiner declares the headless, thus critical thinkingless, human to be a perfect soldier.

Headless woman as symbol of great service in a pleasing environment. She doesn't nag or think or question, she just serves and looks good.
