Black men backing Kamala #Harris fuel another huge fundraising spree.
“The organizer of Monday night's virtual ‘Win With Black Men’ event said more than 53,000 attendees helped raise more than $1.3 million in four hours for Harris' campaign.”
#Biden steps aside as Democratic nominee, #endorses #Harris
President Biden is ending his presidential campaign, a momentous decision that upends the 2024 presidential race, and is endorsing Vice President Harris for the top of the ticket.
“I believe it is in the best interest of my party & the country for me to stand down & to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the reminder of my term,” Biden said in a statement.

As a US senator Kamala Harris whooped Brett Kavanaugh's ass at the Senate Judiciary Supreme Court hearings in 2018. This is what Trump and the Republicans are scared of. They don't want THIS:
As the presidential race heats up, Vice President Kamala Harris has announced she has officially joined TikTok, and given a nod to the numerous memes that have been fuelling her campaign online so far.
“I’ve heard that recently I’ve been on the ‘For You’ page, so I thought I would get on here myself,” Harris said in the short first video posted to her TikTok account. Here’s more from @yahoonews.
i think fundraising for politicians on fedi is a bit gauche when there are so many people in the #MutualAid hashtag who really need help
political parties full of billionaires with massive corporate donors don't need your contributions and a quarter million dollars is still absolutely nothing to them
trust me, that $20 is gonna mean more in the hands of the family struggling to put food on the table than it is for the presidential campaign of who-the-fuck-ever
I have said from the beginning that #Hamas #Oct7 attacks were timed for #ElectionInterference in #US #Election2024.
Never has this been more obvious than now.
Members of BOTH #Arab and #Jewish diaspora in #US have ratcheted up their attacks on #Democrats since #KamalaHarris became the presumptive nominee.
I have noted at length Rashida #Tlaib's role under that hashtag. Below, I note some from the #Israeli side.
BOTH groups are holding #Harris hostage to extract concessions for their side.
⬇️
Today, #KamalaHarris spoke at UAW Local 900 in Detroit. This won’t get the kind of attention bigger rallies get, which is too bad, because #Harris made some points that really show who she is. I’ve made some clips, from the c-span recording.

#Trump predicted he will wind up debating MVP #KamalaHarris, & suggested that campaign & FoxNews network ofcls are negotiating details.
"We'll be debating her, I guess, in the pretty near future," Trump said during a ½ hour interview on #FauxNews that focused mostly on #Harris. "It's going to be announced fairly soon, but we'll be debating her." [literally thinks he’s a king using “the royal we”]

#Democrats flip #SocialMedia *#censorship* complaints on #Musk, #GOP
#ElonMusk’s #X is facing #impartiality questions after he endorsed #Trump & the *platform* restricted pro-#Harris account.
#Republicans have spent the better part of a decade accusing #SocialMedia companies of “censoring” *#conservative* viewpoints & skewing their platforms to benefit Democrats.

I’m noticing that many of my friends in the Northeast & on the West Coast seem to be feeling very confident about a #Harris win in 2024.
Don’t be.
#FBI is investigating suspected #hacking attempts by #Iran targeting both a #Trump associate & advisers to the #Biden-#Harris campaign….
3 staffers on the Biden-Harris campaign received spear phishing emails that were designed to appear legitimate but could give an intruder access to the recipients’ comms [but they weren’t dumb enough to fall for it; unlike Trump/Vance apparently].

Citizens,
Justin says that this song has been on his mind for many months. It speaks to me. We are not going back. Rally from the hillside, rally from the plains ya'll.. shouting the battle cry of freedom.
Bon Iver performs at the Harris-Walz rally in Eau Claire Wisconsin.
Justin Edison Vernon an American singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist. He is best-known as the primary songwriter and frontman of indie folk band Bon Iver.
Yes we’ll rally round the flag, ya'll, we’ll rally once again, Shouting the battle cry of freedom,
We will rally from the hillside, we’ll gather from the plain, Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
Chorus:
The Union forever! Hurrah, Down with the TRAITOR, up with the star;
While we rally round the flag, ya'll, rally once again, Shouting the battle cry of freedom!

Conservative mom of 6 says Dems better on family policy
Even a former Heritage Foundation writer is now saying that Democrats are the better party when concerning policies that are most beneficial to parents.
In a recent op-ed for Newsweek, conservative activist Bethany Mandel... admitted that the Democratic Party has consistently been a better ally of working-class Americans... better for families...

The #DemocraticNationalConvention will kick off Monday in #Chicago. Democratic organizers have had to rework programming for the #DNC after #POTUS #Biden dropped out & endorsed MVP #KamalaHarris to replace him.
But leaders within the DNC say they are harnessing that energy the #Harris & her running mate, MN Gov #TimWalz, have brought into the race, & that they hope to keep the momentum going at the convention & beyond.
Here’s what you need to know.

Margaret Sullivan, in a critique of the #NYT's dangerous embrace of false equivalence in its articles about #Trump and #Harris, quotes former marine, Ben Kesling, who writes this about the media coverage of Trump's criminal activity at #ArlingtonNationalCemetery :
It came off, he wrote, “like a bureaucratic mix-up or some tedious violation of protocol,” not a deeply disrespectful moral failure, which it surely was. “The sacred had been profaned.”

"JD #Vance’s Combative Style Confounds Democrats but Pleases #Trump"
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/31/us/politics/jd-vance-trump-vp.html
The #NYTimes (@nytimes) doesn't understand what "confounds" means. Dems are not "confounded" by Vance's rhetoric. They understand it, answer it, denounce it, refute it, ridicule it.
By contrast. Trump and Vance are confounded by #Harris and #Walz. They're floundering for an effective line of attack.
