And when Kamala gets elected, it might even be a joyous genocide too.
So much to look forward to.

"Black women know more than anyone what it’s like to be dehumanized and reduced to parts of our whole. We have long been seen as mammies, mules, aesthetics, tokens, and superheroes, oftentimes simultaneously. If we are not in service to someone or something, our value is debated, our competence challenged."

Michelle Obama’s DNC Speech Was a Reclamation and Proclamation of Black Womanhood
In her DNC speech Michelle Obama reminded America that Black womanhood matters.Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman (Time)
"THE BEST ARGUMENTS made for Kamala Harris’s election at the Democratic convention so far have come from the two biggest speakers who’ve never held political office. ...
Both did something that the first night’s speakers failed to truly accomplish: they painted a human portrait of Harris for an electorate still learning about her, then laid out the game plan for the sprint ahead."

Dem Convention Night Two: The Non-Pros Steal the Show
Michelle Obama and Doug Emhoff introduce Kamala Harris to the country.Sam Stein (The Bulwark)
"Well, I’ll take this over that Hulk Hogan freakshow.
Democrats have gathered in Chicago this week, a joyful, exuberant bear hug embrace of American political identity, patriotism, and above all, optimism. It has been a stark contrast with the American Carnage-style anger simmering at the Republican National Convention."

Kamala Harris and Democrats in Array
Over two pivotal weeks, Harris completely reset the presidential race. The DNC has now been masterful. What lessons can we learn from the trailblazing, joyful candidate who didn't win any primaries?Brian Klaas (The Garden of Forking Paths)
"My overarching impression of the third night of the convention is that the future of the Democratic Party was on display, and it was beautiful sight! ...
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are speaking directly to the American people at a pivot point in American history. The press may not like that fact, but there is nothing they can do to stop it."

“Here is how we do it. Strategize on Sunday, meet the moment on Monday, take it to ‘em on Tuesday, work it out on Wednesday, thank the Lord on Thursday, fight the power on Friday, set it off on Saturday, get a few hours of sleep, wake up the next day and do it all over again until joy, joy, joy comes in the morning."

Walz Shows His Real Guy Roots As He Skewers Republicans’ Definition Of Freedom
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was given a euphoric reception as he walked...TPM
"'Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning,' speakers have quoted the Biblical psalm, and they have referred to the vision of the American flag still flying after a night of bombardment during the War of 1812, captured by Francis Scott Key in the national anthem, promising that after our time of national darkness, there will be light."
"The many stories in which ordinary Americans rise from adversity through hard work, decency, and service to others implicitly conflates those individual struggles with the struggles of the United States itself. Running through the stories told at the convention is the theme of working hard through a time of darkness to come out into the light."
Heather Cox Richardson puts her finger on a major theme running through commentary on the DNC this morning:
"After three days at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, I feel like I have seen the political future and its name is the Democratic Party."

#Harris is beating #Trump by transcending him
The sudden & radical shift in the trajectory of the 2024 campaign owes to more than the replacement of President Joe #Biden w/MVP #KamalaHarris as the #Democratic candidate. To a degree that’s still not fully appreciated, #Harris has embraced an entirely new strategy: She’s not just pushing back against Donald Trump’s #politics of #cultural #division. She’s bidding to #transcend it.

Harris is beating Trump by transcending him
The vice president and her running mate are achieving a radical shift in messaging.E.J. Dionne Jr. (The Washington Post)
#Trump announced plans to hold a news conference Thurs afternoon. I expect a shock value attention grab display, after the sustained enthusiasm for #KamalaHarris & #joy surrounding the #HarrisWalz ticket. New polls showing her climbing. A new survey shows Harris w/a lead over Trump nationally.
