Unions inspired his political career, but can they help him beat Susan Collins?
“That really was the beginning for me of understanding more about working class issues and how we get…

The Democratic Party is trying to move on from Graham Platner's problematic candidacy after a rape allegation, but activists want to hold him up as a cautionary tale and a harbinger. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/08/31/world/us-metoo-part-deux/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #sexualharassment #metoo #grahamplatner #maine #democraticparty #cheyennehunt #ericswalwell #donaldtrump #jeffreyepstein #harveyweinstein

News of Jackson’s anonymous online activity comes as he prepares to take on #Republican incumbent Sen #SusanCollins in a pivotal #Senate race this November. Jackson, a former logger & one-time president of the #Maine Senate, recently became the Democratic nominee after the high-profile implosion of progressive outsider #GrahamPlatner.
[what a freaking mess Dems 🤦🏼♀️]

So, #NiravShah came pretty close to winning the June primary (if there weren't #RCV, he would have won). Though #TroyJackson would be the logical #Progressive choice. The plot thickens...
Democrats Begin to Clash Over Who Replaces Platner Even Before He Exits
#Progressives and #moderates are gearing up for a fight over an as-yet-undecided process in #Maine to name a Senate nominee to replace #GrahamPlatner after a rape accusation. He still wants a say, too.

July 7, 2026Updated 12:50 p.m. ETExcerpt: "A range of candidates are being discussed, with some early attention on those who ran and lost the primary for governor this year. Those Democrats include #TroyJackson, a former president of the Maine Senate; Nirav Shah, a former director of Maine’s public health agency; and #ShennaBellows, Maine’s secretary of state. But some Democrats were concerned about elevating someone who just lost.
"Supporters of Mr. Jackson, who had backed Mr. Platner in the primary, created a Draft Troy website and he filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission for a Senate exploratory committee. Mr. Shah put out a statement that said he had received 'hundreds of encouraging messages,' adding that anyone who ran for the nomination should commit to a televised debate and 'multiple town halls across every corner of the state.' "

Right Wingers are all over the Sunday shows this morning hyping the #Maine Senate race, lambasting #GrahamPlatner for his "Nazi tattoo" & alleged abuse of women (by people using Conservative buzz-words.)
#Republican "concern" over this race... accusing #Democrats of "hypocrisy"... is itself dripping with #GOPHypocrisy.

@KPBSPublicMedia @podcasts-KPBSPublicMedia At least the #DemocraticParty learned the *most obvious* lesson of the #2024election. 🙏

I do not know if #GrahamPlatner is the best candidate (I have no dog in that fight), but #Republicans do NOT get to claim the moral high-ground when it comes to his (now covered up) "Nazi" tattoo.#GOPHypocrisy #Fascism #Nazis #NaziTrump #Musk #Bovino #Hegseth #ConcentrationCamps #Racism

#Maine - #WabanakiAlliance holds U.S. Senate candidate forum, participants discuss gaps in #IndigenousEducation
By Arianna Perdomo on April 20, 2026
"Democratic U.S. Senate candidates #DavidCostello and #GrahamPlatner outlined their positions on tribal sovereignty and education during a debate organized by the Wabanaki Alliance on April 16 on Indian Island in Old Town, which is home of the #PenobscotNation. The event was hosted by Penobscot Nation members and offered a chance to discuss non-partisan policy affecting #WabanakiNations and candidates’ plans to support those communities.
"Located less than 15 minutes from the #UniversityOfMaine, #IndianIsland sits along the #PenobscotRiver. This reservation serves as a cultural and historical center for the Penobscot people. Within the community there are buildings and museums that reflect ongoing preservation efforts of Wabanaki culture. According to the Wabanaki Alliance, the Penobscot Nation is one of the oldest continuous governments in the world and remains committed to protecting territories, culture and language as a federally recognized #SovereignNation.
"The debate was moderated by Dr. #DarrenRanco, chair of the #NativeAmerican programs at #UMaine. Notably, Democratic candidate Gov. #JanetMills and five-term Republican candidate Sen. #SusanCollins were extended invitations to participate, but were not in attendance. However, Costello and Platner offered insight on their approach to ongoing issues facing Wabanaki nations.
"Opening remarks were delivered by #MaulianBryant, executive director of the Wabanaki Alliance and Chief of the Penobscot Indian Nation, #KirkFrancis. Each candidate then gave a five minute opening introduction explaining why they are running.
"The first round of the debate consisted of eight questions surrounding topics of tribal sovereignty, environmental justice, regulation and the implementation of legislation that would help address these issues. Costello and Platner agreed that there needs to be a restructuring of the government and a new balance of power. Both candidates stated that they would support legislation that helped extend the power to engage the Wabanaki people in issues that are important to them."

Well, well... It seems #JanetMills is feeling the heat since #GrahamPlatner has made it very clear that he supports #Maine's #FirstNations!
#WabanakiNations, Mills are finding common ground
In the final chapter of the governor’s administration, she and tribal leaders are making progress on tribal priorities
Reuben M. Schafir, February 19, 2026
AUGUSTA — "#Wabanaki tribal leaders, state lawmakers and Gov. Janet Mills might not be entirely on the same page. But they’re reading the same book.
"Lawmakers on the Judiciary Committee heard from tribal leaders and their allies Thursday during a hearing on two bills that address the applicability of #FederalIndianLaw in Maine.
"Statements made by tribal chiefs and Mills’ representative hint at a tone shift in the ongoing dialogue between the tribes and the governor.
"Both bills are sponsored by Sen. #RachelTalbotRoss, D-Portland, and would make federal Indian law broadly applicable to the Wabanaki Nations. #LD785 would also make other changes recommended in 2020 by a task force of lawmakers and tribal leaders, including repealing restrictions on tribal land acquisition and the expansion of tribal authority over hunting and fishing on their lands."
