Raw Story:
Harris is shrugging off 'spiraling' Trump

Karen Tumulty, a columnist for The Washington Post, called out a "standout moment" ...

When CNN anchor Dana Bash asked Harris her thoughts on Donald Trump's questioning of her racial identity, Harris needed just a handful of words to deftly swat away the attack.

“Same old tired playbook. Next question, please," she said...

Tumulty praised Harris' response...

Harris is shrugging off 'spiraling' Trump — and it's 'driving him crazy': columnist

More than a month into her presidential candidacy, Kamala Harris has so far managed to brush off a deluge of attacks from her Republican opponent — and one columnist wrote Friday it's "driving him crazy.

^{Daniel Hampton (Raw Story - Celebrating 20 Years of Independent Journalism)}

This clip from Lincoln Project reminds me of the teenager who was receiving coupons for baby items, based on her shopping habits (“Target knew his daughter better than her father did,” from 2012). If Trump and his Christo-Fascists get into office, this is our future. A vote for #HarrisWalz is a vote for bodily autonomy.

Across #socialmedia content targeting boys and young men is a noxious stew of toxic masculinity.

It's why the Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz feels like a gift for many parents raising sons.

Crystal ball on #HarrisWalz2024.

Trump isn't campaigning because election doesn't matter to him. Litigation and open insurrection do. Ceding the election to the House.

Ironically, Joe Biden (lame duck) who has a sworn duty to protect the constitution now has blanket immunity (courtesy #SCOTUS) "for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority."

#POTUS can arrest insurrectionist legislators so that #Democrats affirm #KamalaHarris as the winner.

Donald Trump isn’t joking when he says he doesn’t need votes to win the 2024 election.

So much to look forward to.

“Watching VP Harris deliver her acceptance speech…eschewing the white pantsuit & the talk of glass ceilings & the announcements of firsts, she was able to simply say the powerful words that mattered. It was like watching a thing that has always been, or, better, could have always been. It was almost ordinary, like watching a woman perform thoracic surgery, or change a tire, or drive a car.”

"Tonight, when Kamala Harris steps to the podium, she will formally launch a new era when women are no longer just the rescue team/cleanup crew, nor will they remain content in roles as the supporting or opening act.

Women, especially Black women, are now the main event. … Truth be told, Black women have been the main event in the Democratic Party for quite some time. But now, that fact is being shoved front and center…."

"I get that Obama is the former president, whereas Michelle is merely (?) the wife of that former president. She didn’t hold any office; she was just (??) the wife. But for those taking notes (and you really should be taking notes), this is a real-time paradigm shift we are witnessing.

It is the women, Black women in particular, who are now taking center stage."

"Addicted to horse-race election coverage, the political press just can’t stop looking for ways to give Trump every single benefit of the doubt, all in an effort to create some supposed level playing field.

"What’s more, the obstacles faced by Black women daily are embedded into the structures and systems that line the pockets of the powerful. Despite our struggles being woven into the lives of everyone else, despite fighting for democracy time and time again, we are continually left behind.

Perhaps the Black woman who understands this most is Michelle Obama, a Black girl from the South Side of Chicago whose ordinary life led to extraordinary circumstances."

"Black women know more than anyone what it’s like to be dehumanized and reduced to parts of our whole.

"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. ...
