Kamala Harris: "Sometimes you have no choice but to kick that door open."
Wooooboyyyyyy!!!!
Former VP Kamala Harris at the memorial service for Rev. Jesse Jackson:
"So let me just say, I predicted a lot about what's happening right now. I'm not into saying 'I told you so' but we did see it coming."
Yes. She. Did.

Bill Clinton gets emotional when talking about his friendship with Rev. Jesse Jackson at the memorial service:
"I'm here more as a friend than a former president. He was my friend when I needed it. And I ask you to ask yourself how you can do more by being a better friend and a more effective one."
Pres. Obama at the Jackson service:
"We are living in a time when it can be hard to hope. Each day, we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions."
"If we don't step up, no one else will. How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him."
Joe Biden: "We're in a tough spot, folks. We've got an administration that doesn't share any of the values that we have."
Barack Obama: We must be heralds of change and messengers of hope, because it gives our lives purpose.
it's always nice to be reminded of how incredible a public speaker Barack Obama is. here's part of his eulogy of Jesse Jackson
Presidents Bill Clinton, Joe Biden & Barack Obama are all here!

New: Democrats say they won't relent on DHS funding demands because of Iran war
"No," says ANGUS KING of GOP push.
OSSOFF, lone Dem running in Trump-won state, says agents "shouldnβt be assaulting or killing Americans with impunity."
Dynamic unchanged.

Abolish ICE has a +11 approval β which means it is *32 points* more popular than Donald Trump
Ask yourself: does corporate media portray that accurately?
Cory Booker with the fire today, tooππΎ
Is Congress as a whole on the same page now with DHS & Noem? ππ½
Also realized why Tillis came across great as wellβ¦NOEM DID NOT ATTACK HIM! Tho it seems as a result, she was much less antagonistic towards Booker as she was in her last interactions with Dems.
I recognize I am an extremely rare holdout in that I have been so hardline anti-AI that I have still yet to use a chatbot willingly, but uh, I feel like every other story I read is about how all the consumer-facing stuff is a mental illness particle accelerator www.theguardian.com/technology/n...

Lots going on right now, but gotta give credit where credit is due. Tillis is absolutely eviscerating Noem! Granted itβs late (and he about to retire) but we have to take all the wins we can get rn.
Sen. Tillis is π₯
But make no mistake, weβre not agreeing with Republicans; they are finally catching up and agreeing with us!
after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

WATCH β @mehdirhasan.bsky.social : βEvery Republican president does this. Every Republican president cuts benefits for the poor, taxes for the rich, and bombs a Middle East country. Trump promised he'd be differentβ¦ while he & his allies told voters Kamala would send their kids to die.β
Of course, things could change and we end up with a completely different nominee who I would support WHEN UP AGAINST ANYONE FROM THE GOP WHO ARE ALL COMPLICIT IN THIS YEAR-LONG HELLSCAPE.
Coming from a typical Dem base voter, I want Kamala to run again and win.
If she doesnβt run or loses in the primaries, Gavin Newsom looks to be in the driverβs seat, and I would wholeheartedly support him WHEN UP AGAINST ANYONE FROM THE GOP WHO ARE ALL COMPLICIT IN THIS YEAR-LONG HELLSCAPE.
The Democratic party is a big tent, so of course leftist preferred candidates will win sometimes, but they often have a hard time winning nationally because the typical Dem base voter wants:
1. Who is going do the most good for the most people?
2. Who can win? (in a center-right country)
Tangentially related, saw a couple of somewhat positive Gavin Newsom posts, went back to read, they were deleted, I can guess why.
I would like leftists to consider while your stand helped doom an immensely qualified candidate, it wonβt prevent next Democratic nom from winning (see post β¬οΈ).
WOWOWOW, this a blast from the (twitter) pastπ
