This is a really great ad. Ossoff is definitely running. And he could win.

Vote your Ossoff, Georgia! 

If he wins and wins with room to spare in November, he could be the Obama in the 2028 campaign cycle.  Dems need a rebrand and refresh.  Like that Ossoff is emphasizing the corruption theme.

No one seems to know what socialism actually means. It’s not a safety net or price supports.

There are degrees and variations of socialism, and that works out to the favor of Republicans.

Socialism is primarily a centrally planned  economy with some sort of public or collective ownership.

Safety nets and price support are features of social democracy

What do you call central planning with private ownership by a handful of monopolies?

Very disappointed that this has not been raised here. Not something that would be included in Tempo's algorithm even with white people rioting over injustice and prejudice.

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c4g81y540y1t

The head of Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary tells the BBC the force is "sorry for handcuffing and arresting Henry".

In an interview with the BBC's Lucy Manning, Chief Constable Alexis Boon says the bodycam footage of Henry Nowak being arrested and handcuffed after telling officers he had been stabbed was a "very difficult watch".

"What was filmed there is a tragedy, an absolute tragedy, you can't help but be affected by it."

He adds: "I really feel for the family of Henry at this time."

The chief constable says he understands "their point of view and why they're upset with the police", which he says is why the force have said "we are sorry for handcuffing and arresting Henry" at that time.

I was thinking about mentioning it a couple of days ago but it's just Britain being Britain.

I didn't read the BBC article

And here we go.....

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/us/politics/platner-maine-senate-girlfriends-relationships.html?unlocked_article_code=1.nlA.iyvb.cogFTy2xM4vN&smid=url-share

Several Women Who Dated Graham Platner Recall ‘Unsettling’ Behavior
The Democratic candidate for Senate in Maine could be charming, women said in interviews, but some found his actions intimidating and disturbing.

Quote
But in extensive conversations over the past two months, three other women who had been romantically involved with Mr. Platner offered a far more complicated assessment, describing volatile and “toxic” relationships that were unsettling and at times emotionally wrenching.

Mr. Platner could be charming and charismatic, they recalled in interviews, but also demeaning to women and, in at least one case, even physically threatening. He drank heavily and was regularly unfaithful.

Mr. Platner, 41, a combat veteran, has spoken openly about grappling with post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and drinking that he said resulted from his time in the military. As revelations about him have surfaced — including his dismissive remarks online about rape and derogatory comments about women, as well as a tattoo he had that is widely recognized as a Nazi symbol — he has said his past behavior does not reflect who he is today. Mainers, he has urged, should not judge him for “the worst thing I said on the internet on my worst day 14 years ago.”

Lyndsey Fifield, 40, a Virginia conservative who has worked for right-leaning groups and Republican campaigns, recalled him as “cavalierly contemptuous of women’s emotions, of our ‘weakness.’” Ms. Fifield, who dated Mr. Platner from roughly 2013 to 2015, said that his offensive online posts “reminded me of just how much he hated women.”

Jenny Racicot, 41, a Maine Democrat, who said she dated him casually off and on between 2019 and 2021, said the posts deepened her belief that he did not respect women. “When I saw the old comments that he made online,” she said, “I recognized a version of him that I had experiences with.”

Some of the women also raised questions about his trustworthiness. Mr. Platner’s insistence that he did not know that his tattoo was a Nazi symbol until it became a campaign issue last fall was simply not true, Ms. Fifield said. After all, she said, he had taught her the word for it years earlier, referring to it as “my Totenkopf.”

His campaign strongly denied that he knew what the tattoo stood for. And in a statement to The Times, Mr. Platner said he had “too often self medicated with alcohol, and was a far from perfect boyfriend” during what he described as a “very dark period of my life.”

***

She said he kept an AR-15 lying around his apartment on Capitol Hill, and would sharpen an ax — a relic from his time working on the Appalachian Trail before he enlisted in the Marines — while watching television.

He had what she described as a “warrior ethos” and would fantasize about killing people he deemed a threat, she said. She said he told her that rape was about power.

It was something that stuck with her through the years, Ms. Fifield said.

“He said this a lot: If anybody ever broke in here, I would rape them,” she recalled, saying that he added that it would not be in “a sexual way, not in a gay way.”

“He was like, I would rape them to show them that I’m dominant,” she said.

Asked about those remarks, a Platner campaign official did not dispute them. A friend who knew Mr. Platner and Ms. Fifield during that period said the comments sounded out of character.

Mr. Platner, who had overlapping relationships with other women while he and Ms. Fifield dated, also referred to women as “hatchet wounds,” Ms. Fifield said, a crude term for female anatomy.

***

Mr. Platner, she said, knew when they were dating years ago that the tattoo was a Nazi symbol, and that he called it “my Totenkopf.”

“I would never have known what that was,” she said. “He would joke about it being a Nazi tattoo.”

Ms. Fifield said he told her that he and other members of his unit selected the tattoo because “they were like a death unit, they were killers,” and saw a parallel between their unit and the Nazi Schutzstaffel, or S.S., unit, that used the skull-and-crossbones image.

“They literally, deliberately, selected it because it was relevant to their military unit,” she said.

Mr. Platner “strongly disputes” Ms. Fifield’s account of what he knew about the tattoo and what he told her, his campaign said.

***

“I’m a vegetable growing, psychedelics taking socialist these days,” he wrote. “Still got the guns though, I don’t trust the fascists to act politely.” He has since said he abhors political violence.

***

One year later, an anonymous Facebook user went on a private page called “Are we dating the same guy” and shared an image of Mr. Platner, smiling broadly and sporting a T-shirt with line drawings of oysters.

“Ghosted me in the past,” read the message, dated Nov. 4, 2024. “Then popped up on a different dating app. I’m concerned he may have a significant other out there.”

The comments drew replies from at least six women, several of whom noted that he was married, according to screenshots posted by The Maine Wire, a conservative media outlet. Ms. Racicot, who was one of the women who commented on the chain, confirmed that the post was real, as did a second woman who commented on it.

Replace "Platner" with "Hegseth" and Tempo is blowing a gasket at Mn, Judy, and Custard.

Is Platner cheerleading and funding genocides? No? Then Platner not nearly as bad.
