Speaking as a Jew, I'm pretty tired of the non-Jewish people in charge fabricating antisemitism in order to manipulatively get what they want, but when someone throws a Nazi salute at the inauguration or sports a Nazi tattoo for 20 years we're told to shut up because that isn't what they meant.

every right-winger calling for all-out war on "The Left," warning that political enemies are about to face their ultimate wrath, said the exact same shit in November and have been enacting that fantasy ever since. unclear why this language should frighten anyone more today

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.
