HOLY HELL. No political candidate has hit Trump this hard, ever.

This is how you win elections.

March for Our Lives, the youth-led advocacy organization committed to ending gun violence, has made its first-ever political endorsement and announced their support for Vice President Harris.

Men told the last woman running for president to smile more but they’re saying the woman running for president now smiles too much. Maybe it’s never been about the smile

Wajahat Ali on the stark contrast between Biden's speech last evening and Trump's at the RNC:

"If there ever was an argument to end the dangerous 'both sides'' false equivalence, it was surely tonight. Just compare the speeches of both men. Put the transcripts side by side. Look at the words, the tone, the substance, and the messages of the speeches. There’s no 'both sides.'"

🚨 #MISSOURI: After a failed bill to CHARGE WOMEN WHO HAVE ABORTIONS WITH MURDER, Republicans have a bill to DENY MEDICAID COVERAGE FOR LIFE to any woman who's ever had one. Pregnant women CAN'T GET DIVORCED there either.

It saddens me that the future direction of this country is dependent on the narrow group of people who don’t see the clear choice we have.

On one side we truly have The Deplorables who want to send us back to the 1950s except with the richest 1% not paying 1950s taxes. Minorities losing rights. Women losing rights. Environment being destroyed. Destroy Social Security. Cold War. Christian values in the bad sense.

On the other side, we have people trying to have universal healthcare, multicultural society, science-based policy, democracy, equality. Social programs.

And it all hinges on people who can’t decide between these two because Biden was 3 years older, or Israel is an ally, or Kamala laughs or was a prosecutor once, or immigration is out of control even though it’s not actually any different than historical average.

Biden would have to shoot a baby in the face, burn down a thousand orphanages, and nuke England for me to start to consider voting for Trump. Same goes for Harris. #MAGA

#MastodonForHarris now has its own QR code. If we share it widely, we can make mobile giving easier.

Even if Trump says he won't ban abortion pills and he refuses even to promise that. He'll hire fundie goons who regulate them out of existence. project2025istheocracy.substac

She's doing it. "The same Black voters who split 70% for Biden to 23% for Trump in previous polling now break 78% for Harris to 15% for Trump." πŸ‘πŸΏ

Future president Kamala Harris did not come to play games. If this holds, and Black folk check and re-check their voter registration every month, then Harris wins.

CNN/SSRS polling still makes the same mistake that everyone makes about US elections: They report on the category "people of color,"πŸ€¦πŸΏβ€β™‚οΈ

What color? Is it Black?

Think you’re registered to vote? Think again. With all this purge’n going on, you could be x’d out and not know it. So, check online with your Sec of State or call your County Board of Elections. Then register your girlfriend, your wife, and your mailman.

Then contact the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, League of Women Voters, Rock the Vote or Black Voters Matter, and commit to a couple of days at your local registration drive. In Florida, it may mean you’ll get arrested. I’ll send a file in a cake.

This is the guy who claims he was "tricked" into authorizing treatment, after they told him his daughter might commit suicide.

Show of hands: how many parents would NOT pay attention and get a full understanding when their child's life was on the line?
Anyone? No one at all?

If you can imagine, a rapist and felon called the Vice President of the United States β€œreal garbage.”

I can only imagine this man's lawyer rubbing his hands together, and laughing maniacally:

Also, as an "official act" (hello SCOTUS!), Biden should unilaterally make voting day a national holiday so no one has to choose between participating in democracy or still having a job.

And create a universal vote-by-mail incentive that's so good even red states can't turn it down.

And maybe replace postmaster DeJoy. Like, what the heck. How is that trump stooge still in office?

The media spent a month talking about Biden's mental faculties. They talked about almost nothing else until Biden stepped down.

Now, suddenly, the media has decided that the mental faculties of a presidential candidate is no longer a national emergency that requires constant discussion, and have largely moved on to other topics.
