the number of women responding publicly and privately that they feel physically ill from grim's bullshit is so profoundly upsetting. i feel it, too. misogyny is sickening but also literally deadly.

Every thing I think of to say is more unprintable than the last

HEY SO A GLUTE MASSAGE ISN’T PENETRATIVE SEXUAL INTERCOURSE, RYAN. Can they hear themselves? Is no one around who can see their words and say “WHOA HEY NO DO NOT HIT SEND, GUY” I really hate this timeline.

“She told him not to do so” Yeah Ryan we get that he doesn’t take no for an answer

It wasn't reported on b/c it was irrelevant...as in, saying "I want a massage" followed by "don't come over" means the previous text was just a statement, not a request or offer or sign of consent What's shocking is how many so-called "left" males are proving misogyny never was just for MAGATS

Yeah, fuck that noise. No means no. Period.

oh my fucking god, he's insane

I hope every single woman in his life reads this message loud and clear.

Here’s a thought experiment that journalism “bros” like Grim are sure to fail: Suppose Politico found proof that Racicot had completely made up her rape allegation against Platner. Should they report that? The answer is: No. Because reporting it would discourage future victims from coming forward

To act like this is some profound revelation that is being withheld from the public is both disingenuous and sickening. Do better.

Among the many Really Big Problems in this whole mess is the fact that, while there may be some limited accountability for Platner after an absolute barrage of red flags, there is NO accountability for the bros who keep toxic-male defending him. Platner loses a job opp, Grim...loses nothing.

Our society really hates women.

More reasons every day to never watch Breaking Points again

Seriously, what the hell, you weirdos.

Did the text say she wanted Platner to be the glute masseuse?

This is to emphasize not diminish MK’s point but saying “I need my glute massaged” doesn’t mean “I want to have sex” or, more importantly “I want to have sex with you [GP]“. Saying “no don’t come over” makes it even clearer! I feel like it’s crazy to read this as consent!

Guessing this is his counter to try to regain support to justify staying in the race. I genuinely dont think hes leaving.

I know the bank asked me not to rob it but there was money inside, so…”

Sounds like just another layer of him not giving a shit about consent. She told him not to come to her place and he did anyway.

oh my god these men

Not sure why Grim thinks it was relevant, other than what you said.

It very clearly shows her not consenting. These people are disgusting.

Also, there’s no sexier word out there than “glute” - other than maybe “pecs”. If you want to turn a man on, definitely use the standard health club abbreviation of the Greek term for a muscle group.

Infuriating! When I was a kid I was assaulted when I was about 14, all my mom wanted to do was make sure we get the guy then tie him to my old Mare put burrs under the saddle and tell him to hang on for dear life I think we could make that great again #SheShed

I know he's stupid but even he isn't stupid enough to think this is a Thing, so it's just him cynically but I guess accurately assuming his fans are even dumber than he is.

Nothin to see here just a journalist with a huge audience acting like it’s exculpatory evidence that she invited him over

“But she mentioned her glute! That means yes even though she explicitly said no!” 🙄

Wait. How is this anything but further evidence that he didn’t listen to her?

yup, asked for it by telling him not to come over.

First of all, “glute” is the least sexual way to describe your butt and she didn’t say “I need YOU to massage my glute” and even if she had the fact she said no after that at any time is the more important information.

I hope women take note of this being Ryan Grim's attitude to consent and please be sure, everyone, to remind him of it as often as a dude carrying water for a rapist deserves. Hope he isn't married or currently dating cos maybe he wont be after his hypothetical partner sees this.

who in their right mind would even think this exchange possibly helps his case?! oh, right, misogynists. silly me.

I hope Ryan Grim’s shitty responses about this finally get people to stop supporting him. Unfortunately, he’s continually been racist towards Black people but no one cared. We’d be way better off if people stop listening to him.

it’s really hard to see these types of defenses of Platner and not ask a lot of questions about the personal conduct of the people making them

what a fucking ghoul

Surprised he hasn't tried to track down what she was wearing when she texted.

Is the next grim post complain that they didn't say how sexy she was dressed or something? Sheesh

Did she say “Hey Nazi Boy, I want you to massage my glute”? No? Then it wasn’t a fucking invitation. Especially when she explicitly told him to not come over.

Every story that comes out about Platner show that he is straight up radioactive, and these pig brained pundits bend over backwards to defend him. It has nothing to do with Platners "progressive" platform and is instead a proxy battle for aggrieved white leftists to maintain their power position

Ryan Grim, ladies and gentlemen. Told you years ago he was irredeemable but Bernie!!!!!

hey, fuck you @ryangrim.bsky.social

@alt-text.bsky.social

cant wait til we find the skeletons in that smug douche Ryan Grim’s closet. He’s protesting WAY too much.

Gross. It’s like some people put on a helmet that keeps them online 24 hours a day and cannot think like a normal human anymore. They say the internet was a mistake but I’m starting to think we need to eliminate electricity itself so people go outside and talk to actual humans.

Funny how these DSA people are just as willing to justify and cover for sexual predator Graham Platner as the MAGA Trumper people are to justify and cover for sexual predator Trump.

"You're going to need to get consent, which is a noise she makes, not a feeling you feel." - Taylor Tomlinson

How do you know this is true? This kind of unsubstantiated/no source posting is exactly what Twit is all about. JFC!

This is disgusting.

UUUUUUUGH! And on top of her specifically telling him NOT to come over, the guy is STILL a nazi, he was STILL a Blackwater merc, he still removed the rubber without consent, he's still a massive scumbag and one of the worst people alive, but whatever, I guess.

This is essentially the same logic that marital rape deniers use

His big detail is him defying her request for him not to come Look, she asked for it, after she explicitly did not ask for it

first time I ever saw Ryan Grim I thought "this guy has the personality of a stump. what does he bring to this job besides looking like Temu Tucker Carlson" I had no idea how correct I was

this isn't what he's saying, it's a detail related to whether he broke into the house or thought he was invited, he discusses it on today's breaking points, but I agree the worst people will take it the wrong way. it matters for the court case not public opinion

"She made an offhand flirty remark which he decided was the go ahead to come over even though she expressly asked him not to. Obviously that means she's lying and Politico should be ashamed."

thank you for your clarity on this marisa it’s really needed

God my soul sank reading that. Fucking gross ass clown behavior

The only men who go to bat for rapists are the ones with skeletons in their own closets

It seems to be confirmation that it was a rape. You can turn it into the opposite only by wishing away the most important text.

Fucking men, like. Fucking men.

Dude is trash. So is politico

“She responded by telling him not to do so.”

I have nothing good to say about Ryan Grim. I guess he can work with that like everything else

Grim needs to take a long walk into the ocean and never come back.

"She said no, and Graham still went over, but the big issue is journalistic integrity." Fuggin' dipshit.

She said no again and again and again, fuck Ryan grim

they are noticeably not posting that shit here

Fuckin'-A, what??????

I hate this. She specifically told him not to come over. Her saying she needed a massage is irrelevant. She said no. Don't. Period. Your lady/dude could say "Im horny right now, but I don't want sex" that means no. There's no permission given. Period.

First of all, it's not at all clear, even with Grim trying to spin it in the most pro-Platner way possible, that she ever wanted *him* to come over. And, even if she did, she isn't allowed to change her mind?

Sexual consent is revocable at any time.

Also, "but he is *our* rapist"

Politico practices just absolute garbage journalism and editorial practices. In a better world they would be shut down. In an even better world they would actually respect and uphold their responsibilities as a news outlet and report accurately and without favor.

It sucks so bad that Jeremy scahill has to deal with this fucking moron being his coworker. Jeremy puts out incredible work and like 95% of Ryan's output is just this bullshit

Grim outing himself as a predator. Again.

isn't the breach here that they left out the important part "she told him not to come over but he came over anyway"

Same old misogynistic excuse, and yet another media failure.

“If she didn‘t want sex, how come I thought she did? Checkmate, libs!”

Grim white-knighting for abusers and retraumatizing the abused as he always does because he is literally a monster.

Shit. I have genuinely text someone I need my glutes massaging. If that physio therapist ever runs for office....

I think Grim's closest needs to be examined for skeletons at this point

Is ‘Ryan’ the official name for creepy fashbros now???

she probably texted a lot of other things that were irrelevant to the assault. the only way this can seem a "shocking breach of journalistic ethics" is if you believe it's relevant, e.i. if you believe a no doesn't matter because of an earlier yes

With alt for anyone who needs it:

ryan grim should not be allowed on progressive shows and podcasts ever again. this is his nth horrible fuck up

Ryan Grim is a rape culture promoting POS.

boy does this says everything about Ryan Grim and nothing about anyone else involved in the story....

Wow, trying to take what you think as the moral high ground, and instead outing yourself as a total creep.

Kind of hilarious that Grim has retreated to his Nazi bar safe space since the rape allegations dropped so that he can feel safe arguing that she asked to be raped.

HOW DOES THIS CONTRADICT ANYTHING SHE SAID IN THE INTERVIEW?!?!?! This fucking GUY, man >:( >:( >:(

"She responded by telling him not to do so". Enough said.

Jesus fucking Christ this guy is a piece of work

If anything, the journalistic malpractice is that it makes Planter look even fucking worse and more like a rapist.

This is where Ryan Grim needs to ask the age-old question: Are we the baddies?

Are We The Baddies BadALT: Are We The Baddies Badstatic.klipy.com

Sorry if I’m missing something here, but what’s his point? I’m guessing he’s saying the “breach of ethics” is not presenting the text verbatim, so is he just upset they didn’t make this public? Because I don’t see how this is anything other than proof that consent wasn’t given…

She might as well have just said, "I have a sore throat that needs tending" or "I have a headache that needs a temple rub" for all that matters. She STILL said "don't come over "" and sure as shit didn't give her consent to getting raped.

The OOF I just oofed.

Platner raised my hackles from the beginning because he reminded me of guys I grew up with in a small rural town. Guys whose families had wealth and influence, who never had to face any consequences and got away with everything. Date rape was a casual hobby for a lot of them. Grim et al do too.

Why no alt? Some of us survivors of SA need his name muted right now, and the lack of alt text is making that exceedingly difficult. Additionally, y'know... Accessibility for folks using screen readers. Please remember to copy the post text into the alt text field. Please ❤️.

This guy needs to take a breath. He’s doubling down longer than Platner himself.

love that woman can’t even mention that she, in general, needs a massage without that apparently being an all-access pass to her entire body

A: "I need my glute massaged" is not consent. B: Non-consent can be clearly highlighted at any time, like in a text that clearly says "no, don't come over." C: Consent can be withdrawn at any time, even if previously given.

Yes. Shocking. Never before has sexual assault been so intentionally distorted by the press or the media 🙄

So Grim pushed the obviously bullshit Tara Reade “Biden fingered me in a crowded hallway” story knowing her crazy background but is now trying to downplay a 100% credible allegation of sexual assault backed by other witnesses and clear timelines.

Would anyone trust their drink with Ryan Grim at a bar?

She literally told him “No” in the message.

*says something mildly flirty* *weirdo invites himself over* *she says no, dont come here* *he ignores her wishes and comes over anyway* Internet dummies: "Why would SHE do that?!?!"

Leaving out the (I need my butt massaged) text seems like leaving out a part of the story. Grim is not defending Platner here. He's a journalist giving the public more information about an important story.

7/8/26: Trump Says Iran Ceasefire Over, Bibi Rages Over Turkey, Platner Fallout Continues - Breaking Points with Krystal and SaagarRyan and Saagar discuss Trump says Iran ceasefire over, Bibi rages over F-35s to Turkey, Maine Dems reject Platner influencing replacement, Platner story left key details out. David Morales: https://...omny.fm

My cynicism is metastisizing. Is there any part of our culture that isnt toxic, self-serving and morally bankrupt?

Not an anatomical expert, but last thing I heard, there are no glute muscles inside the vagina.

So the argument is that she referenced a muscle that men cannot decouple from sex, so any subsequent "no" statements are invalidated? Holy shit we are irredeemable as a society

jesus he just keeps getting worse

men over explaining men

"I'm sore. I could use a massage" "I'll fix you up real good (wink)" "Ew, gross, no." Ryan Grim: This sounds like consent to me.

My guess is that she knew he was a tinderbox and she was willing to play with matches anyway. Which still does not absolve Platner for his actions. Even if you taunt someone pointing a gun at you, it doesn't mean shooting you is okay.

I declined a date with a rando who approached me at the bookstore where I was working and he told me he was going to go out and rape & kill someone because I had made him so angry by turning him down & I should be sure to watch the news that night & when I saw the story I would know it was my fault.

so she said no, multiple times, in fact.

Looks more now like he asked for it (her testimony)

Marisa, you brought back too many stories in my psych classes. Almost everyone wanted to vomit each time.

Nauseous Emoji Vomiting Green LiquidALT: Nauseous Emoji Vomiting Green Liquidstatic.klipy.com

One time I kissed with a man at the bar who then insisted on going home with me after I repeatedly said no and he followed me out the door and I ran to a friend’s house because I knew he was trying to follow me home. I guess if he assaulted me that night I would’ve had it coming according to Grim.

Today on their news show Saagar (his cohost) put this in the context of accuracy in reporting and how initial Republican woman gave way more evidence not followed up on causing the SA Dem woman to have to give details. Saagar kept saying it was all about accuracy of journalists. But is it? Really?

It is very clear why that pos decided to share that crap on that hell site and not here.

She responded by telling him not to do so. So what exactly is the issue here?

I think guys like this take this position because they themselves are guilty of pushing for sex & ignoring women who say they don't want to. "She's saying no, but she's smiling." "She's saying no, but she's not stopping me." "She said no, but she went with it." "She wanted it. I did nothing wrong."

I might be horny, but if a lady says no, I don't. How hard is that?

This is important and you're doing important work. Please use alt text, and copy and paste text screenshots especially into alt text, so that you're not excluding everyone with a visual impairment.

No one recognizes the sunk cost fallacy in their own life.

We need a labeler for all of these guys. bsky.app/profile/aozo...

Jesus, Ryan Grim is a bit of a thicky-thicky dumb-dumb isn’t he?

“Don’t come over” is clear, unless you’re a Grim.

Maybe we're all using the wrong dictionaries, maybe the english to date rapist edition covers all the situations where "no, don't come over" means "get over here ASAP I need this"

Rape apologists are the skeeziest of skeezies. Always assume they too will assault you.

"she responded by telling him not to do so"

"glute too tight" is the new "skirt too short"

I don’t know how to express this to Ryan, but saying “my butt hurts and needs a massage” in a text does not give a boyfriend license to come over and rape his girlfriend.

Who is this twerp?

Politicos also didn't report what she was wearing either. Does Ryan need to know that also?

JESUS. FUCKING. CHRIST.

I'm amazed (not really) that he thinks "she explicitly told him no" is a defense of his behavior, rather than proof of non-consent.
