And here is Graham Platner's video response to the above article (at least from my understanding).

Graham Platner's campaign team also put out a response (which can also be found deeper into the article):

>These allegations are very serious and Graham vigorously denies them. They are also coached and coordinated by out of state establishment operatives. For a year, opponents of this campaign have thrown everything they can at Graham –– calling him a Nazi, a war criminal, and a communist. None of it has been true and this is no different. It is not a coincidence that this story comes a week before the ballot deadline, just as the previous false allegations came a week before the primary. Graham began this campaign to fight for a Maine where everyone is treated with dignity and where Mainers are put first, and no amount of desperate smears will stop this movement from seeing that vision through.

Stop the cap 🧢

You may also know him, more recently, for his on-air rebuke last year on the quality of 60 Minutes and the exit of Bill Owens who was the program's executive producer.

For additional context on his firing (mainly the staff meeting with new producer Nick Bilton where Pelley accused Bari Weiss of killing 60 Minutes).

The gentrification of South Bronx needs to move northward faster. The faster it reaches the van courtlandt Park boundary the better. make South Bronx the new LIC. YIMBYISM all across bronx and beyond.

I’m at the LIRR station. Is this because people were putting their feet on the seats?

the park at pier 97 finally finished. there are nice sets of table and chairs for resting. I walked by today and saw a bunch of teenagers throwing these chairs and table to river one by one.

what kind of family education created kids like this? it was so shocking. this is why we cant have good things.

Get Free, along with activists from 50501, one of the core groups behind the No Kings mobilizations, have announced the next big thing after May Day - a national day of action on June 27th called All of U.S. 250.

Before the 250th Anniversary of America’s Declaration of Independence and days after expected Supreme Court rulings on birthright citizenship and the Voting Rights Act, Americans across the country will march and rally to repair our full history rather than erase it, celebrate the progress we have made through struggle, and commit to the work to ensure liberty and equality for All of U.S. Anyone can sign up to host or join an event near them and add them to our website map.

We’re reaching out to movement organizations to be part of this historic mobilization and to attend and host events in your cities and towns. Could your org join as an endorser? Add yours and a logo for the site via our sign-on form here: https://allofus250.org/partner-registration/

We’re also inviting movement partners, creators, and funders to join us on one of our upcoming briefings to learn more about All of U.S. 250 and how to get involved with the national day of action. RSVP to either below:

April 30th at 2 pm EST https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Bqr-I0EDTpyJH2Y7MKutTg

June 3rd at 3 pm EST https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_XXBFQDZWQturty9n1CFFWQ

America is at an unprecedented crossroads. At a time when our country should be coming together to celebrate all that we are, how far we’ve come, and commit to finishing the work to make America a place where freedom and equality are truly for all, a white supremacist faction is pushing our country in the opposite direction. The MAGA regime is in the midst of trying to whitewash our past so they can whitewash our future. We can see this in their attempts to not just erase the history of enslavement and genocide, but roll back hard-won civil rights victories. We refuse to comply. While they plan a whitewashed celebration of the 250th, we’re inviting Americans of all stripes on June 27th to provide an affirmative, positive counternarrative and demand equality over erasure.

This was a small and quaint protest that per the organizers, marked the first anniversary of the Tesla Takedown protest in Brooklyn. It didn't help that I arrived around 30 minutes late because of the train but even then a handful of people showed up.

It was still a bit interesting - one guy said he missed us while he walked by (didn't catch that unfortunately) and another was so bothered by me filming the protest his friend drove up and flipped the bird at us (that was caught on video) before speeding away.

Beyond that, while it was quaint it did warm things up on a cold day. This probably might be the last Tesla Takedown for a while here because of the low numbers and the lack of Elon Musk's various activities around here as of late.
