Strong. Honest. Clear. Hopeful. Tonight, @KamalaHarris proved that she and @JoeBiden have what it takes to move this country forward. And now it’s up to us to go vote for them. Vote early—do it as soon as you can, in person or by mail. Get started now at https://t.co/vS12U5kabm.
Them: Why do you have to make everything about race.
Because it is. It is a fact. Until you destroy the foundation of racism that is in every corner of this bloody country, we will not truly move forward to a future of justice, equity, and liberation.
She was told her condo was worth $278,000 — $1,000 less than she paid for it 6 years earlier. But a second appraisal, in which she not include her race, valued her condo at $340,000. Experts say home appraisals add to inequities Black homeowners face: https://t.co/opSuR2UtDP
Kamala was brilliant. Pence was so full of shit that literally, a fly landed on him. Now the drug-addled weenie POTUS refuses to show up for next week’s virtual town hall because he knows Joe Biden will run circles around him.
Back in the day, journalists used to be tasked with getting answers to: – Who? – What? – When? – Where? – How? – Why? We’ve gone from that to “What’s your take on this?” and no follow up. It’s infuriating.
Harris is correct that when Roger Taney died in October 1864, Abraham Lincoln deferred a Supreme Court appointment until after election so that next President, with a new mandate, could do it.
Kamala Harris is every Black woman who had to remain calm in a work meeting when lesser qualified white men rudely spoke over them, spouting less than mediocre ideas while the person "in charge" does nothing to stop it and everyone judges *you* for "appearing" frustrated
My son and I got our mail-in ballots today, filled them out together in that extra careful/panicked am-I-fucking-this-up way you do, and took them to the official dropbox where HE VOTED FOR THE FIRST TIME! I can’t tell you how special it feels. I’m high from it. #VoteEarly
Dog didn't see it but went to have a word with the cat. The guy walking saw everything and sodded off leaving the victim lying on the floor. Says quite a lot methinks
It was a well known scam between the dog and cat, cat falls onto person, dog pretends to help by confronting the cat, person shows appreciation by buying the animals food. The shoes are just to throw people off and make the dog seem more official.
They ridicule him for posing as Christian while fighting to: disregard the marginalized, make the rich richer, turn away refugees, steal kids from migrants & pretend Jesus shares his homophobia.#VPDebate#PENCEKNEW
REMINDER: the same debate moderator who let Pence break the debate rules on almost every answer, Susan Page, held a fundraiser for Pence’s protégé who spent millions in tax dollars on her own personal PR/brand. #VPDebatehttps://t.co/06gmAqfGzI
"The one thing Pence was supposed to do…was to soften Donald Trump fo women voters, for white women voters – he doesn't have black women voters," @JoyAnnReid says. "To get white, suburban women to at least consider maybe not abandoning him…This didn't help." #vpdebatepic.twitter.com/e5x795rdkl

The moderator. A microcosmic picture of a familiar truth to me.
Sometimes, when women can’t manage the men in their lives- they allow/ want for the women around them to succumb to the same abuse. It’s easier than dealing w/ what’s in front of them.

Facebook bans marketing firm that paid teens to post pro-Trump messages in covert influence campaign
The Phoenix-based firm, Rally Forge, enlisted teenagers to coordinate pro-Trump posts across social media in a secretive operation that involved the use of fake accounts. The effort was uncovered last month by a Washington Post investigation.
Facebook stopped short, however, of penalizing the group financing the activity, an affiliate of the conservative youth group Turning Point USA.
I've been around the block for a few years, so I should have felt this before–but the last four years have given me a truly visceral (as opposed to intellectual) sense of what life is like for minorities, women, LGBT people. Once you've "gotten it" you can never "unget" it.

These nutballs are following that evil moron’s orders.
The investigation, led by the FBI, used several undercover personnel and confidential human sources, and it appears the group was so closely tracked that the Governor was not in imminent danger.
The plot as alleged, appears to have been quite serious.

"Michigan-based militia group attempted to recruit members for the operation, which included storming the Capitol building in Lansing and take hostages, including Whitmer. The plan was reportedly supposed to be executed before the November 2020 election."
Thank you for sharing this and for whoever put it together! This is a great timeline of events laid out for those who need a dose of reality. Trump’s golf came before the lives of Americans. He needs to spend the rest of his miserable life in jail! 🤬
I’m honored to receive Mayor @KeishaBottoms endorsement.

This morning, Donald trump called Senator Kamala Harris "a monster" on Fox News.
We just learned that his tweets inspired domestic terrorists to launch a plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer AND kill cops. He hasn't said a word about it.
Did you see Kamala’s uncle’s comments about the debate? He is the SHIt (a compliment) as we used to say and he will be an honored guest at the barbeque.
This was an excerpt from CBS online, that was part of a Tweet that i saw earlier.
The insurrectionists – part of a gang called Wolverine Watchmen – began plotting after Donald Trump told his base to LIBERATE Michigan and praised armed protestors as “very good people.” They practiced shooting, combat drills and made their own explosives. https://t.co/IDZwfiFasapic.twitter.com/wPKsWtOuXd
With the economy in recession and continuing high jobless claims, what did @realDonaldTrump do? He walked away from negotiating a stimulus package. He doesn’t care about you. https://t.co/FhxTQfYxdE
I still remember the entire Morning Joe crew mocking the DHS report when Napolitano was in charge. Like many in media, they’re cavalier about things that don’t directly affect their lives.

The format for 2nd debate was a townhall so not a big change. I expect trump to do a rally approximately same time. Of course he will tweet & make an ass of himself. Nothing new
I want our kids to have a leader to look up to. A leader who will protect them, make sure that all kids no matter where they come from have access to a good education, & who will also protect their healthcare.

But as @jmartNYT and @maggieNYT first reported, pharma backed out — and administration officials are now tapping Medicare itself to pay for resurrected idea. pic.twitter.com/dbdZdjK0Cd
I would think I'd do better long term under Dems as they aren't trying to kill Social Security & Medicare. That card won't do any good if you have no SS or Medicare.
