To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis: Show us your laptop. Show us your iCloud. Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation. You won’t. You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out. That is not who we are. My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count. For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame. I no longer believe that. Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us. And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts. That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena. Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next. Life does not determine our character. It reveals it. Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next? We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day. So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop. You won’t. The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing. That is the only definition that matters.

This is because of you. I am deeply humbled. I will not let you down.

Future Graham Platner ad: “While Fetterman is thinking about my dick, my focus is on benefiting the lives of the working class.”

These people want us to care about identity politics so bad

during pride month too

Iran’s terms to end the war: 1. Give Iran its own money back 2. Tell Israel to stop attacking Lebanon (and mean it) Some rather extreme demands there, no wonder Trump can’t find a way to a deal.

This IS antisemitism btw. Us American Jews do not deserve to be equated to the Israeli government.

PLATNER IS THE NUMBER 4 TOP FUNDRAISER THIS WEEK????!!!!

All the reports from the Platner rally, plus the videos circulating, show a raucous crowd and multiple standing ovations. The NYT calls it “relatively sedate.” If you get your news from the Times, stop being stunned when events don’t turn out the way you think they will.

What the U.S. Senate campaign in Maine is all about.

The establishment footlockers want you to think Maine isn’t in play. They hate @grahamformaine that much

RT @IAmSophiaNelson: I will keep saying this: If all of us, male and female alike, have to explain our past failures, unhealed behaviors. B…

Maine, vote @grahamformaine !

These identity politics-obsessed freaks are why people hate the Democrats so much

Let’s be clear—the New York Times ran a hit piece on Platner using the uncorroborated allegations of a former Heritage Foundation staffer who told her friends that she would campaign for Susan Collins.

Kyle is 1000% correct

Classic @JohnFetterman L

Some of yall look really, really dumb. That, or you’re all in the same diet-maga group chat.

Platner's scandals so far are that he is opposed to our relationship with Israel and wants to get rid of oligarchy. The Dem consultants and reporters walking around with giant erections about a new Platner scandal just want the status quo, but they know that's unpopular.
