Gosh, I was so sure that the revelations about his Nazi tattoo and his homophobic comments and his creepy Reddit stuff would be the end of it and that nothing else bad would emerge because that's how it always works, right?

CNN confirms that multiple sources suggest Graham Platner knew his tattoo was a Nazi symbol years prior to launching his campaign — and is now blatantly lying about it. www.cnn.com/2025/10/24/p...

Hello! I come to you from a place called Facebook, where zealous single-issue anti-Mamdani voters are a real thing. Also from a place called "the Upper West Side," which, same. So to anyone out there who thinks he has this in the bag: No victory laps yet. A good day to vote is TOMORROW.

This beautiful volume, a longtime passion project of my husband's, is out now. If you don't know the work of John Guare, treat yourself--he's one of our most important, funny, and original playwrights. (And as a bonus, the book includes his great Atlantic City screenplay!) www.loa.org/books/plays/

It's not my state, so I don't feel qualified to weigh in. I'd just ask this: Is there any reason to believe these will be the last of the revelations about him?

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialOct 23(source)

Sometimes it's okay to say "Sorry, too much baggage." I don't claim to know Maine politics well, but the election is more than a year away, and I imagine there are viable Democratic nominees there without a history of Nazi tattoos, homophobic comments, and weird Reddit posts.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialOct 23(source)

I think that according to the rules established this week by Karoline Leavitt, the official Democratic response to this should be "So was your mother." nymag.com/intelligence...

Trump Defends White House Demolition, Says East Wing Was Ugly Anyway

“The East Wing was not much,” Trump argued, so it shouldn’t “hurt a very expensive, beautiful building” like his White House ballroom.

My radical political belief for 2026 is that vetting candidates early and thoroughly is good. My other radical political belief is that the sentence "I'm a different person now" is not true nearly as often as people would like it to be. www.advocate.com/politics/gra...

Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner admits using ‘indefensible’ antigay slurs in unearthed Reddit posts

"Today I find that stuff abhorrent," Platner told The Advocate. "And I am sorry that I ever used it.”

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialOct 22(source)

Look at this idiot I'm quote-tweeting who's saying this stupid obvious thing! And yet, there are a few demographics that stubbornly refuse to believe it, including, apparently, 90% of the entire American commentary and editorial-board class. So maybe he's just shouting it for the dummies.

Voters who see what Trump is doing right now--the demolition, the extortion, the lying, the targeting of enemies, the weaponization of every branch of government--and support it only because Democrats hate it are failed citizens and bad Americans. They do not merit anyone's respect or outreach.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialOct 22(source)

I don't know what will happen in this election--I take nothing for granted. But I do know that there are many Jewish voters in NYC who will, in 2026, remember exactly which politicians told them that only certain Jewish voters matter. Voting starts Saturday, BTW.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialOct 22(source)

There is a full-on push in NYC right now to use "Mamdani doesn't make Jews 'feel safe'" as a cudgel to get Cuomo into office, and it is utterly disgusting. You know what makes me feel unsafe? People who casually characterize us as a trembling single-issue monolith scared of the big bad Muslim.

"I mean, are we really deciding that you can't be a Democratic Senator just because you got a Nazi tattoo and you knew what it was and you kept it and joked about it?" Yes.

Jewish Insider just sent out an email with an article with more Platner info. And yeah, this guy is DONE done.

But according to a person who socialized with Platner when he was living in Washington, D.C., more than a decade ago, Platner had specifically acknowledged that the tattoo was a Totenkopf, the “death’s head” symbol adopted by an infamous Nazi SS unit that guarded concentration camps in World War II.

“He said, ‘Oh, this is my Totenkopf,’” the former acquaintance told Jewish Insider recently, speaking on the condition of anonymity to address a sensitive issue. “He said it in a cutesy little way.”

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialOct 21(source)

Thanks! It was fun to be a little part of that great big project.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialOct 21(source)

From my responses, I am hearing that "Don't get a Nazi tattoo" is now, apparently, some kind of absurd "purity test."

"Let me explain my Nazi tattoo" is not something I want to hear from a Democratic Senate candidate. We can raise the bar higher than that. Also, I'm all for angry mavericks running for Senate, but with that personality type, "Is he a future Fetterman?" is a legitimate question.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialOct 21(source)

"What did it materially change?" is the wrong question about political action. It leads to "I voted and this happened anyway, so don't tell me to vote." It's a kind of purely results-oriented customer-service demand. I get that it comes from legitimate frustration, but it also encourages futility.
