i voted for harris and said people should vote for harris. please proceed.
A lot of words, and a lot of comments justifying the fact that many couldn't bring themselves to vote for a black woman. Instead of facing your inherent biases, you are justifying the causes of the deaths and brutality of other u.S citizens.

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

On a podcast this week, California GOP congressional candidate Dennis Feitosa said that white nationalist Nick Fuentes was "charismatic" & "capable of reaching a lot of people," meaning "narratives that the Jews are putting out there is going to effectively, you know, get a little weaker."

time will tell but on paper this sounds better than her running again
Apparently, the KamalaHQ accounts are rebranding as "Headquarters," a "new Gen-Z led progressive content hub."

we are so back
“U.S. employers announced 108,435 layoffs for the month, up 118% from the same period a year ago. The total marked the highest for any January since 2009, while the economy was in the final months of its steepest downturn since the Great Depression.”
Layoffs in January were the highest to start a year since 2009, Challenger says
With the recent narrative centering on a no-hire, no-fire labor market, the data suggests that the layoff part of the equation could be stepping up.

I’ve learned over the years that way too many people buy into the myth that the Democrats are just a scrappy little band that is strapped for cash. For sure there are far more right wing sugar daddies but the Dems aren’t exactly lacking resources.
