" If you are on Ukrainian social media, you are dealing with Russian bots and trolls saying that Harris is unpopular in America and can’t win. In the United States, the Russian bots and trolls are spreading racism and misogyny. The Russian demobilization serves the same goal: to stifle any hope for something good in both countries."

"Since Sunday, more than 100,000 people have signed up to volunteer for the Harris campaign, and more than 2,000 people applied for campaign jobs by Wednesday. That includes 6,600 new sign-ups in Florida, 3,000 in Michigan, 4,000 in Pennsylvania, more than 1,300 in Arizona, and more than 1,000 in Wisconsin, ready to start knocking on doors this weekend. ...

"On Thursday night, 'White Women: Answer the Call' literally broke Zoom with 164,000 participants handing over more than $2 million in just an hour. Not to be outdone, White Dudes for Harris, who 'aren’t going to sit around and let the MAGA crowd bully other white guys into voting for a hateful and divisive ideology' will have their call next Monday."

"Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign smashed all kinds of records in the first 48 hours, and the momentum—and record-breaking—hasn’t flagged since. ...
It started with Win with Black Women on Sunday, with 44,000 participants and $1.6 million raised. Then on Monday, Win With Black Men built on that with over 40,000 participants, netting about $1.3 million."

"Because it’s misogyny – networked misogyny across multiple global platforms that will earn their tech bro owners billions upon billions of dollars – that is going to decide the 2024 election.
And it’s misogyny that’s going to dictate the future of Nato, the outcome of the war in Ukraine, whether we have peace in Europe or more war."

"We haven’t yet realised that misogyny is one of the most dangerous weapons on Earth. The best friend of authoritarians and oligarchs. The handmaiden of tyrants.
Worst of all, we haven’t yet realised that misogyny represents the most urgent and pressing threat to global security."

"With the Olympics, VP choice, and the DNC, Trump can’t claim the attention back the way he’s used to doing.
Further, he’s spent years trying to get folks to not vote for Biden. He doesn’t know how to get new people to vote for Trump. Now that it’s Kamala Harris, he’s screwed, because he hasn’t time to figure out how to run against her.
This is exactly what Democrats hoped for, and exactly what Republicans feared."

"In the few days since Kamala Harris began her 2024 campaign for president, the media has shown us where some of their coverage is headed: no place good.
Both the rightwing and traditional media are making some predictable blunders. Add in the swill that circulates endlessly on the social media platforms, and you’ve got a mess.
Take, for example, the recent coverage of a Republican congressman’s smear of Harris."

"In Milwaukee, out-of-town police brought in for the Republican convention shot and killed Samuel Sharpe, an unhoused man with cerebral palsy, while security guards at a downtown hotel pinned down and killed 43-year-old father D’Vontaye Mitchell. Outside Chicago, in the state capital of Springfield, a white police officer shot and killed 36-year-old Sonya Massey, after she called 911 for help. The officer has been charged with first-degree murder."

"Harris is ahead with voters under 45 by 10 points over Trump. In the last poll, Trump was ahead of Biden with that group of voters. Harris also gained among Hispanic voters over the numbers Biden had after the debate. In fact, Harris’ numbers in this poll among young and Hispanic voters are better than any poll Times/Siena did this year."

"Donald Trump and all the other arrogant, woman-hating Republican geniuses think attacking Kamala Harris’ laugh is a smart play. As if putting her down for her exuberance and joyfulness will reveal her to be unserious, unattractive, unfit for the job.

"These people believe they have ownership of the future, as if they’re holding the deed. Because they believe they own their children, whether their children are still children or not. That’s why Vance wants Christian Nazi-type parents to vote extra times on behalf of their kids, even though in all likelihood many of their kids would recoil at the votes their parents cast in their name."
"Vance said people with children should have extra votes over people without. 'When you go to the polls in this country as a parent, you should have more power, you should have more of an ability to speak your voice in our democratic republic, than people who don’t have kids.' ...
Republican Arizona Senate candidate Blake Masters referred to it as those parents having 'skin in the game.'”

"The white nationalist right wants to seize control of reproduction in order to ensure white voting power and white supremacy. Superior (white) women are supposed to get down to the business of making babies; non white people are to be deported. Supersmart white men like Thiel, Musk, Trump, and Vance can then get back to the work of unchallenged patriarchy."

"It’s worth pointing out that Vance is not just a misogynist. He’s also embracing white nationalist talking points and a white nationalist agenda. Vance’s belief that biological reproduction is the main role of women in society is part and parcel of the far-right eugenic poison in which Vance and his main funder and advocate, billionaire tech asshole Peter Thiel, regularly marinate."

S/:The GPQ Rep. #ClaudiaTenney obviously works in the wrong chamber of Congress. Otherwise, she'd know better./s
Being an attorney, she should know much better.
She either is incapable of doing the research necessary for the job, or she's feigning ignorance.
Notwithstanding, she's doing a really bad Rep. job, maybe for political-only reasons, but then she's lying to the American people.

“Let’s get the deal done so we can get a cease-fire to end the #war,” #Harris told reporters after the WH meeting. She also called for the hostages being held by #Hamas to be released & for “much-needed #relief to the #Palestinian people.”

As the presidential race heats up, Vice President Kamala Harris has announced she has officially joined TikTok, and given a nod to the numerous memes that have been fuelling her campaign online so far.
“I’ve heard that recently I’ve been on the ‘For You’ page, so I thought I would get on here myself,” Harris said in the short first video posted to her TikTok account. Here’s more from @yahoonews.

The last kid kills me.
Harris: “I don’t like mean people.”
Kid doesn’t miss a beat: “I don’t like Donald Trump.”
Harris: “Yeah, me neither.”
