Gail – -you’re on a roll getting here first, and yes to the Obamas being the best sort of one two punch to those who would destroy our democracy! I am itching to go to a #SaveThePostOffice rally but can’t risk exposure to crowds. I hope healthy people will find an event on MoveOn or Moms Demand Action.
This is a good piece about the different levels of stress we’re feeling and how to set more realistic expectations for ourselves, especially high achievers like all of us here.
This article described a lot of what I am experiencing. I am normally the “how many casualities and where do I need to be” type in a crisis… my reserves are completely shot. https://t.co/Si0aztaEKv

@JoeBiden’s story is so full, textured and compelling that the storytelling around it is frankly easy – it tells itself. And, because of his lifetime of compassion towards people, there were countless people who wanted to come out and tell their own Joe Biden story. 2/
A boy who is working through his stutter, the women he helped save from domestic violence, an elevator operator who he befriended, Amtrak conductors who he treated with dignity and respect every single day, people with health care today because of the ACA…..4/
For THREE years, I warned the American people & my colleagues that this president was a threat to our democracy. Yet here we are today, voting on a measure to save the Postal Service, because it is being sabotaged by a desperate president in order to cheat in the 2020 elections. pic.twitter.com/cLZw0KZ7UJ
Another obvious Russian strategy to interfere with our elections
adopted by the their compatriots in Congress and in our WH?
Americans, stop mourning the loss of football,
staring at the teevee screen.
and STOP DeJoy!
An extraordinarily high number of ballots — more than 550,000 — have been rejected in this year's presidential primaries, according to a new analysis by NPR.
That's far more than the 318,728 ballots rejected in the 2016 general election. https://t.co/GCKRhMz95N
I forgot about this company; glad it has worked out well for both the company and the employees.
When I started a $70k minimum wage for my company in 2015, Rush Limbaugh said: "I hope this company is a case study in MBA programs on how socialism does not work, because it's gonna fail"
Since then our company tripled & we're a successful case study at Harvard Business School.
Speaker Pelosi in her weekly press conference:
“Don’t pay any attention to what the president is saying because it is all designed to suppress the vote.
He’s going to have law enforcement — that’s in their playbook. We’ve seen their playbook. It’s in their playbook. They’ll have people intimidated to vote by having ICE Agents or other law enforcement there to instill fear in people as they show up. Why are they here? It’s scary. But ignore that. It’s a suppress the vote tactic, as is the suppressing of the ability of the postal system to deliver on its responsibility to treat first-class — ballots as first-class mail and to deliver in a timely fashion and not — and not ignore the need for overtime.
So all I would say to the final part of your question is, ignore them.
Make a plan to vote. Do so to vote early so that we will have an outcome that is clear,
as close to election night as possible. I say that because the more that vote by mail, there may be some counting after the election. But I hope that our victory will be so big it will be so big that it will be so clear.”
“They’re not needed, sir,” said DeJoy at the ‘friendly Hearing,
when asked if he would return the 671 sorting machines.
Ok where is the evidence?
–Where is his data?
They wrecked @CIA They wrecked @FBI They wrecked @CDCgov They wrecked @StateDept They wrecked @TheJusticeDept They wrecked @US_FDA They wrecked the @USPS They wrecked 175,000 families. They wrecked the Rose Garden
They know none of America's history. They just wreck things.
Safest way to vote: Ask for an absentee ballot 2 months in advance. If it doesn’t arrive by October 15, pick it up at your county Board of Elections (Google yours), fill it out, and return it right there — and demand validation of your signature. pic.twitter.com/Tl762oKUQb
Joe Biden praised Black Lives Matter in March of 2016. Compared to Bloody Sunday march. Here's video from the same event, telling America to "wake up" to Trump's racism.https://t.co/YSa8qPE8GNpic.twitter.com/w59XNeKNDN

Maddow: “Your political life as a non-politician, but as somebody who has been through all of this,
you have been through the lesser iterations of this before. You have been at your husband’s side as he ran for office before, with him through Barack Obama choosing him as his running mate, and that campaign, and the re-election campaign, all the conventions that’s brought you to over the years. How different is this now? Now that he is the nominee, now that you may very well be First Lady – how different is this?”
Dr. Biden:
“You know this is really different and it’s really exciting. And you’re right, you know.
It just wasn’t the right time before but this time feels different. So many people kept coming up to me. I have to say we did not plan on running. But after this president was elected, so many people came up to me and kept saying, “Jill, Joe has to run, he has to run”. And then Charlottesville happened. And this president said there were “good people on both sides”. And Joe just couldn’t hear that. And so we decided to run.”
Maddow: “Do you agree with some of the starkness of the warnings that we have heard his week,
for example from both Michelle and Barack Obama during this Convention. The former First Lady warning it can and will get much worse than it is now if he (Trump) is re-elected. The former president flat out warning that we’re at risk of losing our democracy depending on this. Is that the way that you see it as well?
Dr Biden;
“Yes. You know I think that what Barack and Michelle said is right.
I mean things could get much worse. We can’t take four more years. So you know Joe is going to lead us in a new direction. And that’s what people have to think about. His type of leadership, he’ll lead with empathy. And he’ll just be a much stronger president. And kindness and compassion. You know Joe knows what it’s like. His father lost his job. Joe understand that. His parents couldn’t pay for the College that he wanted to go to. Joe understands that. And you know the tragedy and the loss that Joe and our family has been through. And with so many people dealing with loss during this time of the pandemic, they will have a president in Joe Biden who knows what loss feels like. And who will be empathetic.”
Reid: “I used to call my Mom Doc, because she was also an educator with a Ph.D.
And so I want to talk to you about the venue that you chose for your speech when you were speaking to the American people, and introducing yourself. You know teachers and students and parents of students are very traumatized and scared right now. It’s a really difficult time to decide what you’re going to do with your kids because of COVID. How much do you think that former Vice President Biden needs to convey that sense? Do you think this is going to be more about comforting the American people, inspiring the American people, or really speaking directly to those kinds of fears? Especially those fears of teachers and school staff and parents?”
Dr. Biden:
“Well you know Joe is going to be all of those. Because Joe will have a strategy to lead us forward.
And he’s already working on that strategy. And this pandemic has just pointed out so many inequities in Education. That’s why I chose to go back to my – that was my original classroom in Brandywine High School. That was why I chose it go back there because so many educators and students are calling me and saying what do we do, what do we do? People are feeling so anxious. But we have to listen to the experts and the doctors. And when they say it’s safe to go back, we’ll go back. Listen, nobody wants to be in the classroom more than educators, I can tell you that from my own experience. I can’t wait to get back. But we have to be careful. We have to be safe. There’s nothing more precious to us than America’s children.”
Wallace: “Dr. Biden, I know from working for President Bush that the attacks on a candidate or an office holder are most acutely felt by the people who love them most. And Donald Trump got impeached over his effort to attack your husband, smear your family, and weaken your husband politically. How are you going to protect your family and yourself next week?”
Dr. Biden:
“You know we knew this was going to happen. These are all distractions. When we decided to run, we knew this was going to be part of the campaign. But I looked at Joe and I said, Joe we’ve been through the worst thing that could ever happen to us. And so you know we have strong shoulders, and going forward Joe is just going to talk about the future, and what he’s going to do and his plans. So Donald Trump, he is trying to distract the American public from the issues that Joe is going to put forth.”
Maddow: “This will be one of the nights of his life after so many decades in public service. What’s he like under this kind of pressure and big events?”
Dr. Biden:
“He’s at home. He’s out on the porch with our grandkids. He’s doing what he loves. He’s relaxed. He’s confident. You know Joe knows who he is. He knows his vision. He knows where he wants to take the country. Joe will be a very confident president.”
Two weeks ago the grand master of DNC Convention remote sites @djsigworth called me when Wilmington, DE suddenly became a *really big* remote site and asked if I could employ some of my (otherwise unmarketable) skills in big ass flag hanging.

Yes! What an impossibly fabulous event start – to finish!!!
And putting two disinfos to rest:
1) AOC was asked to nominate Senator Sanders, per tradition, and she did.
2) Juliàn Castro himself declined to speak at the Convention.
Let’s watch out for divisive memes.

Hi ,Meta. Apparently The Idiot’s wife didn’t have much to do with the decision making re the garden changes.
//… …….
Relax. It’s not HER design! It’s a much-needed upgrade planned by two very prominent landscape architects and their firms, along with the Committee for the Preservation of the White House and the keepers of the 18-acre property – the National Park Service.
…
But if you just skim the 241-page Rose Garden Landscape Report that was attached to the announcement, as I did, you’ll see that it’s been in the works for quite a while. You might even notice that the groups consulted for the project include some of the most respected people in the DC area.
…
Moving on, Kathy Jentz, editor of Washington Gardener Magazine, wrote in an email to me:
“I actually don’t have an issue with it – looking at the plans it is really a tweak and partial restoration plus
installing new underground irrigation and drainage pipes that are failing on the site.
Of course, certain media outlets are hyping it to make it political and about her, but I think this is actually
staff-driven (national park service) and long overdue.”
Gotta agree with Kathy. Though surely the announcement could have been handled differently – maybe had it come from a National Park Service bureaucrat instead of Melania herself? Yeah, that wasn’t going to happen.
Trump’s sister was still a fed’l judge when she was secretly recorded saying, about family separation: “He has no principles. None. None. And his base, I mean my God, if you were a religious person, you want to help people. Not do this.” https://t.co/qtHWIXwhtI
In ABC Exclusive Interview, Joe Biden says he felt no pressure to pick a Black woman for VP. He selected Kamala Harris because she fit the closest and the best to what he was looking for in a Veep.
24 tweet thread, outlining her qualifications 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾

Yesterday this gobbledygook passed as a “statement from Trump”:
“Every day it is one thing else, who cares. I leave out my brother, and I’ll proceed to paintings exhausting
for the American other folks. Not everybody concurs, however the effects are glaring. Our nation will quickly be more potent than ever sooner than.”
BREAKING: Trump just pulled into his golf course where someone was wearing a grim reaper costume holding a “176K” sign. Another person had a “Suburban moms ❤️ Joe” sign. #MoscowMitchFundUSPSNow
Thinking about climate change and didn’t know this….
Abd looking at maps from the Birmingham University Paleo Landscapes Project:
Only 9,000 years years ago, Ireland was still connected to Scotland.
A mere 18,000 years ago the entire British Isles was connected to France. Gradually the Atlantic flooded and separated them. Think what will happen c/o global warming…the melting of Greenland is all the time
mind-boggling.

“Kamala Harris Takes Aim at Trump, Accepts Historic VP Nomination”
“Senator Kamala Harris has formally accepted the Democratic vice-presidential nomination, becoming the first woman of color to run on a major party presidential ticket. We feature part of her historic speech.”
Amy Goodman:
“During her Democratic National Convention acceptance address,
Senator Kamala Harris addressed the coronavirus crisis, naming President Trump directly.”
Senator Kamala Harris:
“Donald Trump’s failure of leadership has cost lives and livelihoods.
If you’re a parent struggling with your child’s remote learning, or you’re a teacher struggling on the other side of that screen, you know what we’re doing right now is not working. And we are a nation that is grieving, grieving the loss of life, the loss of jobs, the loss of opportunities, the loss of normalcy and, yes, the loss of certainty. And while this virus touches us all, we’ve got to be honest: It is not an equal opportunity offender. Black, Latino and Indigenous people are suffering and dying disproportionately. And this is not a coincidence. It is the effect of structural racism; of inequities in education and technology, healthcare and housing, job security and transportation; the injustice in reproductive and maternal healthcare, in the excessive use of force by police, and in our broader criminal justice system. This virus, it has no eyes, and yet it knows exactly how we see each other and how we treat each other.
And let’s be clear: There is no vaccine for racism. We have got to do the work, for George Floyd, for Breonna Taylor, for the lives of too many others to name, for our children and for all of us.
We’ve got to do the work to fulfill that promise of equal justice under law, because here’s the thing:
None of us are free until all of us are free.
So, we’re at an inflection point. The constant chaos leaves us adrift.
The incompetence makes us feel afraid. The callousness makes us feel alone. It’s a lot.
And here’s the thing: We can do better and deserve so much more. We must elect a president who will bring something different, something better, and do the important work, a president who will bring all of us together — Black, white, Latino, Asian, Indigenous — to achieve the future we collectively want. We must elect Joe Biden.”
(https://www.democracynow.org/2020/8/20/kamala_harris_vp_nomination)
imo we already know how tough, how brilliant, is nominee fo Vice President Senator Kamala Harris.
And via her DNC speech, we saw how beautiful is her heart.
Gong forward with Kamala and Joe’s tremendous experience and vision, how fortunate we are.
Ok. Here's a thread that's going to make you really mad. Melania is the mallard duck decoy of Trump politics. I'm watching people getting more upset about these flowers than about Trump attacking the vote by slowing the mail. Here again we have the problem that white people…
seem able to really really care about the post office. People in Black neighborhoods will be standing in lines for hours, and they'll have to drive or take buses to their polling sites. But how many of you got out of your houses to fight that yesterday? How many made it your…
Face it people, there are two major categories of white people: The majority who will vote for Trump, and the smaller number who will fight to save this republic from him, if there's nothing good on TV. A third category is wiling to do the work, but it's small.
Yes, I get that some of you care about both. I don't care about the flowers at all. It's ok that you do. But the question is: are you putting a great deal more energy into the thing that matters or into the metaphor for the thing that matters?
Trump's having a propaganda press conference at 5:30 to distract from the fact people were dying while he was golfing. I'll watch so you don't have to.
President Donald Trump is threatening to send law enforcement to polling places for the upcoming presidential election, part of a growing pattern of rhetoric in which he has suggested that he wants to make it harder for Americans to vote.https://t.co/dqVqFkcw9O
This is a bogus headline…because…it is not that the wants to make it harder for American voters to vote…but for those that vote DEM to vote…and by concentrating of black people and other folks of color…he can get some white folks not to care…
From me: Networks need to be prepared to handle the RNC as a major political and medical disinformation event. Trump’s messaging on the rigged election and miracle coronavirus cures are dangerous to our health and democracy. https://t.co/k0fzb1VriJ
Actually, I believe he’s trying to drive rethug traffic to vote in person, hoping for a higher election night count; he’ll then claim victory and cast doubt on mail-in tally.
i keep hearing this..this voting gap between black men and women….and i just heard a young black man say that he is not voting…(Wilkes Barre, PA)
i also saw a stat that showed 13% of Black Men voted for Trump in 2016……
This is so mind numbing…does gender make that much difference and if so…how do we address this..
Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, whose job it is to decide if there should be charges brought against the officers who killed Breonna Taylor, is speaking at the Republican National Convention. Make of that what you will.

After three questions, President #LoseEverythingWithTrump ran away from the press corps after they blew his cover by revealing that the great #coronavirus therapeutic he's touting today is just 100-year-old science and nothing to write home about!
"Such a pack of bullshit" a scientist watching President #LoseEverythingWithTrump's press conference about convalescent plasma "it has been done before and it's not novel. The president didn't do shit for it. It's just SCIENCE."
Scoop: Senior health officials in the Trump admin were taken aback last week when Peter Navarro accused them of being part of the "Deep State" during a meeting that was supposed to be about COVID-19 and the Strategic National Stockpile

Dr. Jill Biden’s speech at the 2020 National Democratic Convention.
Former 2nd Lady Jill Biden:
Speaking to Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid, Nicole Wallace on August 20th, just prior to VP Biden’s stunning speech.
Maddow: “Your political life as a non-politician, but as somebody who has been through all of this,
you have been through the lesser iterations of this before.

And this the same week Nashville and all of Tennessee has been and is celebrating women’s sufferage. As I have said here many times, this GOP legislature and governor are a royal disaster.
I’m old enough to remember her:) And when swimming was over for her, she served all us , providing a much needed service in the community
Take the fucking keys away. Do it NOW!
This is supposed to be the party that values life. Not so much. It was always all a fraud
10% of Democrats is baffling to me. Who are these folks?
Fake Democrats?
This is my vibe about it
Woohoo!!
Yesterday this gobbledygook passed as a “statement from Trump”:
“Every day it is one thing else, who cares. I leave out my brother, and I’ll proceed to paintings exhausting
for the American other folks. Not everybody concurs, however the effects are glaring. Our nation will quickly be more potent than ever sooner than.”
Even his own family hates him. Says a lot.
Doom’s sister Maryanne Trump Barry,
former U.S. Circuit Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, appointed by President Clinton, started taping conversations in 2018:
“The change of stories. The lack of preparation. The lying. Holy shit.”
Audio of Ms Trump Barry said “her brother Donald is “merciless” liar who has “no ideas””.

—can we hear the audio?
Thinking about climate change and didn’t know this….
Abd looking at maps from the Birmingham University Paleo Landscapes Project:
Only 9,000 years years ago, Ireland was still connected to Scotland.
A mere 18,000 years ago the entire British Isles was connected to France. Gradually the Atlantic flooded and separated them. Think what will happen c/o global warming…the melting of Greenland is all the time
mind-boggling.
Facebook. In lieu of a newspaper. Or even damn common sense.
INDREDIBLEEEEEEEEEEEE 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
Made my day. That woman is a damn waste. I can’t wait to have Mark Kelly as my junior Senator:)
Senator Kamala Harris’ speech at the National Democratic Convention to accept the nomination for
Vice President of the United States.
“I Know a Predator When I See One.”
“Kamala Harris Takes Aim at Trump, Accepts Historic VP Nomination”
“Senator Kamala Harris has formally accepted the Democratic vice-presidential nomination, becoming the first woman of color to run on a major party presidential ticket. We feature part of her historic speech.”
Amy Goodman:
“During her Democratic National Convention acceptance address,
Senator Kamala Harris addressed the coronavirus crisis, naming President Trump directly.”
Senator Kamala Harris:
“Donald Trump’s failure of leadership has cost lives and livelihoods.
If you’re a parent struggling with your child’s remote learning, or you’re a teacher struggling on the other side of that screen, you know what we’re doing right now is not working. And we are a nation that is grieving, grieving the loss of life, the loss of jobs, the loss of opportunities, the loss of normalcy and, yes, the loss of certainty. And while this virus touches us all, we’ve got to be honest: It is not an equal opportunity offender. Black, Latino and Indigenous people are suffering and dying disproportionately. And this is not a coincidence. It is the effect of structural racism; of inequities in education and technology, healthcare and housing, job security and transportation; the injustice in reproductive and maternal healthcare, in the excessive use of force by police, and in our broader criminal justice system. This virus, it has no eyes, and yet it knows exactly how we see each other and how we treat each other.
And let’s be clear: There is no vaccine for racism. We have got to do the work, for George Floyd, for Breonna Taylor, for the lives of too many others to name, for our children and for all of us.
We’ve got to do the work to fulfill that promise of equal justice under law, because here’s the thing:
None of us are free until all of us are free.
So, we’re at an inflection point. The constant chaos leaves us adrift.
The incompetence makes us feel afraid. The callousness makes us feel alone. It’s a lot.
And here’s the thing: We can do better and deserve so much more. We must elect a president who will bring something different, something better, and do the important work, a president who will bring all of us together — Black, white, Latino, Asian, Indigenous — to achieve the future we collectively want. We must elect Joe Biden.”

imo we already know how tough, how brilliant, is nominee fo Vice President Senator Kamala Harris.
And via her DNC speech, we saw how beautiful is her heart.
Gong forward with Kamala and Joe’s tremendous experience and vision, how fortunate we are.
Walter is all out of fucks to give.
This is a bogus headline…because…it is not that the wants to make it harder for American voters to vote…but for those that vote DEM to vote…and by concentrating of black people and other folks of color…he can get some white folks not to care…
And the band plays on
Actually, I believe he’s trying to drive rethug traffic to vote in person, hoping for a higher election night count; he’ll then claim victory and cast doubt on mail-in tally.
i keep hearing this..this voting gap between black men and women….and i just heard a young black man say that he is not voting…(Wilkes Barre, PA)
i also saw a stat that showed 13% of Black Men voted for Trump in 2016……
This is so mind numbing…does gender make that much difference and if so…how do we address this..
Misogyny is everywhere and Black women don’t have time to save everybody from their stupidity. Time for men to talk to men.

Sadly, I don’t see him pressing charges. Sigh.
Mercy Mercy Me….
Trump sister said he had no principals and he just proved her right, by playing politics with this virus. There is no cure or proof that this convalescent plasma works. Trump was just playing politics. What ashame.
Every agency in the executive branch has been tainted by Trump and his allies…The FDA is now in the cross hairs..what agency is next…
McConnell and the Senate Republicans are complicit
Trump and his alliesa tried to leap frog the PA courts
ROFL. 😂
I confess, that made me giggle!
Everytime I hear “,,, IF Biden / Harris wins …” , I change it in my mind to ” … WHEN Biden / Harris wins”.
No ‘ifs’ … only WHEN 😁
New post.
