I am voting for Harris. I will do everything I'm able to do to get her elected.

Please don't shove "prosecutor is good, actually" down our throats. For my part, I'll hold off on the "cop" rhetoric.

She's accomplished and progressive on lots of stuff. Let's focus on that.

This Atlantic piece actually highlights how Biden dropping out when he did is perfect timing. By doing so almost immediately after the RNC, in the middle of a long weekend (a move designed to screw over the pundit class), he murdered the GOP’s momentum overnight and left them stuck with a VP candidate who won’t do anything outside of Trump’s base. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/07/trump-campaign-biden-dropping-out/679183/

@wdlindsy Trump's Achilles heel is women, specifically reproductive rights and reproductive freedom for women. He knows it.
He's the gross old Klan guy who brags about his sexual freedom to grab women by the pussy, as he brags about bringing draconian restrictions for women.
He has tried to erase abortion from his public platform.
A campaign war on abortion will end him.
Kamala is the right warrior, the right champion, at the right time.

“Good white folx” it’s been 2 days and now that you’ve had some time to witness what Black folx think about and are prepared to do to ensure that the next president of the United States is a Black woman, what SPECIFICALLY will YOU do to amplify AND protect this coalition?

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

at this rate the dems don't have to do anything.

just let the right have a racist misogynistic meltdown and take the win.

@wdlindsy
T**** made "#Unity" the theme of his #Convention, but it was #Democrats that actually SHOWED IT by so QUICKLY & ENTHUSIASTICALLY rallying around #Harris (in large part b/c of how strongly we feel about the need to defeat #TheOrangeMenace.)

And now, everything everyone has been saying about being "too old to be president" and questions about "mental fitness" have been laid at his feet.

@DrSuzanne I'm not putting my beliefs aside one bit. Not even a little. Trump is worse on literally issue that matters to me. It's not hard.

My art of Trump

My latest for @thenation Addiction and substance use shaped JD Vance's life, but he learned little and cared less about the issue and has devoted himself to a narrative of blame, while lifting himself up on the backs of the people of Appalachia. https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/jd-vance-opioid-crisis-vice-president/

If anyone still wants "#birds not #politics" from me, let's be clear: the birds depend on the politics & your vote. Federal & state laws protect species, habitat, clean air & water & fund the managing agencies.
Trump's Project 2025, of course, wants to tear all this down - close all environmental & regulatory agencies, slaughter wildlife, terminate & sell off National Parks.
So if you want to still be birding in another four years, follow the #SierraClub's endorsement:

I did some searching but couldn't find the original source of this graphic but it's just too good not to share. My apologies for swiping this without credit.

#Kamala

Kamala Harris will not save democracy. We will, if we vote, help other people vote, and help our friends and neighbors understand what's at stake.

It's on all of us.

Democracy is about participation. Voting is only one element of that.

But the calculus right now is simple: If the extremists win, they intend to lead a fascist America. Don't lose sight of that.

🚨 Trump-Lover Elon Musk Is Already Causing Kamala Harris Problems 🚨 People are having trouble following Harris’s campaign on X (formerly Twitter). Is this a coincidence or something more? 🤔 #KamalaHarris #ElonMusk #Campaign2024 #Politics Read more: 🔗 https://newrepublic.com/post/184097/trump-elon-musk-causing-kamala-harris-problems

I'm doing something I never thought I'd get to do again. I'm specifically fundraising for a woman to head the Democratic ticket and to be the next President of the United States. I want to do this with all of you here on #Mastodon, so I've created a fundraising page specifically for us: #MastodonForHarris. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris 1/

Democrats rake in a quarter-billion dollars in 24 hours after Biden exits race https://www.alternet.org/kamala-harris-fundraising/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Holy fucking fuckcakes. Now capitalism is telling us that the problem without economy is that young people aren't willing to be slaves and work for free.

Yesterday was Mr. Boots & my wedding anniversary.

After we heard the news yesterday, I got hammered*, we made a huge pan of nachos, & then, we looged off social media & news & spent the rest of the day watching awful disaster movies. It was AWESOME.

& now I'm ready. I'll go HARD for #Harris & whomever she chooses as her VP. I trust her. She knows how many lives are at stake.

I will be fearless. & if you can't be right now, I understand, & I'll be fearless for you, too.

#YesWeKam2024

Anyone I see blathering on about Harris being a ghastly candidate, but not quite as bad as Trump, so they guess they'll just have to hold their nose & vote for the lesser evil, you'll get unfollowed and/or blocked as appropriate.

Yes, I have already had three of these just today. It's going to be a long campaign.
