Platner officially drops out and proves what a class act he is
I assume this is his actual X account:
— Graham Platner for Senate (@grahamformaine) July 10, 2026
Note the sign-off. After all the more formal jargon, we have this:
F*ck ICE. Free Palestine. Up the hearts.
Solidarity forever,
Graham Platner
I think one of his motives with the sign-off was to embarrass the Democrat politicians who initially supported him and then abandoned him. Then again, he could have done a lot worse there at the end, this being Platner.
So we have those two big progressive causes – anti-ICE and pro-Palestinian. What does “up the hearts” mean? It seems to be a reference to the Portland (Maine), soccer team, the Portland Hearts of Pine. And “Solidarity Forever” is an old labor movement song:
The iconic labor song “Solidarity Forever” turns 109 years old today. Written in defiance of early 20th-century oppression, it railed against the forces that “would lash us into serfdom” with the abiding counsel that the “union makes us strong.”
Will Platner manage to keep himself in the spotlight somehow? I think he’d certainly like to.

He means Republican “Billionaires”, not Dem ones I presume.
