Präsidentschaftskandidatin Kamala Harris: Out of the blue
Someone posted this pic of Kamala Harris from the 80's and said she looks like she played synth for a German New Wave band and tbh I'll never be this cool.

"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."

"Like a warm compress drawing pus from a wound, the Democratic presidential candidacy of Kamala Harris immediately brought out the misogyny and racism of the Maga Republican party."
~ Judith Levine
As Levine says, we need to pay attention, "because that bigotry isn’t just talk, it’s Republican policies."

"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. As if a majority of Americans are not sick to death of the nasty, joyless, hateful and degrading mentality and agenda of Trump and his enablers."

"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.

In her meeting w/ #Netanyahu, #KamalaHarris implored him to accept a #CeaseFire deal that would pause the fighting in #Gaza & release #hostages. #US leaders say they are closer than ever to an agreement but finalizing it has remained elusive.
“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.”

Andrew Torrez on why the Republical complaint to FEC that Kamala Harris is illicitly taking over Biden's campaign coffers is "horseshit":
"Harris’s name has been on the FEC documents for more than four years, through nine separate filings by the Biden-Harris campaign, which is why virtually every election lawyer agrees that the move is entirely kosher."

"President Biden’s speech isn’t the only thing that has registered lately. Vote.org announced a nearly 700% increase in daily voter registrations in the 48 hours following President Biden’s announcement on Sunday that he would step down. That’s more than 38,500 newly registered voters, and younger voters, those between 18 and 34, make up 83% of them."

"I revere this office, but I love my country more. It's been the honor of my life to serve as president but in the defense of democracy, which is at stake, I think it's more important than any title...

It’s the best way to unite our nation.”

As Lisa Needham reports, FEC chair Sean Cooksey is a Trump appointee, and has made noises about welcoming Trump's FEC complaint. And:
"The FEC took no action against [Trump] for routing payments through his former campaign manager, Brad Parscale, and refused to open an investigation into his hush money payments to Stormy Daniels."
