#KamalaHarris’s recent remarks on the #economy have focused on aiding the ambitions of young #families, first-time #homeowners & #SmallBusiness owners. Today, Harris is expanding that vision, to people who are struggling to make ends meet.

“I am a #capitalist,” #Harris said, directly countering #Trump’s BS attack #lies that she is a left-wing socialist.

"News of Roberts’s alleged comments to colleagues comes as #Trump, the #Republican nominee for president, & his running mate, #JDVance, have engaged in a #racist & false #propaganda campaign to demonize #Haitian immigrants living in Springfield, #Ohio, by claiming that they have been killing & eating people’s #pets. The xenophobic claims... have incited multiple bomb threats that have disrupted the #Springfield community."

"Rarely, if ever, has a presidential campaign collapsed from seeming assurance into utter chaos as Trump-Vance has. The campaign seems to have stumbled into a strange unintended message: 'Let’s go to war with Taylor Swift to stop Haitians from eating dogs.'”

What a Losing Campaign Looks Like

How does Donald Trump’s running mate have so much time on his hands?

How the #Trump Campaign Ran With Rumors [#lies] About Pet-Eating Migrants—After Being Told They Weren’t True

Taking @StitchyMc’s words to heart that #Trump’s sensationalist #racist pet-eating #lies are designed to distract us in our outrage from what matters, so I’m turning back to his (make no mistake — it is his) #authoritarian handbook:

Joyce Vance quotes Greg Sargent, who says,

"Fact-checking MAGA's vile lie about cat-eating Haitians misses the point. It's an *open* assertion of the power to lie with impunity about immigrants as a prelude to 'bloody' removals of millions."

Then she adds,

"It's not just that the Haitian story is ridiculous. It's not just that it’s a lie."

The goal: spread fear, anxiety and conflict.

Eg Canada is broken,

vaccines are scary,

Immigrants eat your pets ,

life is not fair if your white , etc.
