After #BlackWomenForHarris & #WhiteWomenForHarris, it was the turn of “#WhiteDudesForHarris” — where almost 200k people, including the #JeffBridges, who played “#TheDude”, helped raise >$4M.
 The >3hr-long Zoom call saw actors Mark Hamill, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Sean Astin & Josh Gad among the men expressing support for MVP #KamalaHarris’s presidential bid, alongside ’N Sync star Lance Bass & a host of #Democrat politicians.

Triggered #Dems are blocking #history. When did #Biden end the #COVID emergency? 5 11 23. When most #democrat voters were vaxxed! Not that #republican #necropolitics were any better. Trump adopted anti-mask/anti-vax politics bc the first wave of COVID *decimated* Democrat constituencies. R instincts went rabidly anti-mask/anti-vax fast and wet-dreamy. Dems? Masked up and vaxxed! Uh oh, more dead Republicans by 2024! Both parties embraced death, one won. Biden isn't any less ghoulish than #Trump.

#AOC: "No #Democrat should be voting to advance [President Donald] Trump's nominees while all of this stuff is going on," said the New York Democrat in a 90-minute Instagram Live video Monday evening. "There has to be a political price to pay and we have a responsibility as a party to block everything that is happening while they're setting a literal match to the federal government." YES!

I’m starting to see a troubling trend: #democrat first time candidates going after the current administration but also failing to stand up for or even throw #trans people under the bus.

Say it with me.

#transpeople are not disposable.
We are not a #fringe issue

We’re fucking #humans.

Disgusting. Outrageous. Unacceptable.

#Trump said he would "take a look at" #pardons for 2 men #convicted of conspiring to #kidnap & #murder #Michigan Governor #GretchenWhitmer in 2020.

Barry Croft Jr. & Adam Fox were found guilty as the leaders of an anti-government #extremists group who wanted to grab Whitmer, a #Democrat, at her vacation home, kill her & start a #CivilWar.
