3 years ago today, @KamalaHarris made history by becoming @JoeBiden's running mate. The first Black woman and first woman of South Asian descent to join a major-party ticket.
Let me tell you a bit about the @VP I know — an inspiration and a fearless fighter for our freedoms.
After 107 Days, a significant amount of people, particularly ex-Biden staffers, asked the question: "Why didn't Kamala Harris advocate for herself earlier, then, if she was being mistreated by the WH team?"
The answer is: she did.
There are numerous articles with various sources from as early as 2021 that voice Harris' frustration with Biden's staff diminishing her accomplishments, not inviting her to meetings, literally keeping her out of rooms, not standing when she entered a room, laughing at her requests to tout her own experience — the list goes on.
What did the staffers decide to do about it?
Nothing.
You know why?
Because if they had let her be visible, if they had let her speak out and give examples of her capabilities, if they had refused to shove her in a box, she would've shone, too.
She would've been seen as better than Biden, perhaps: because, in a lot of ways, she was. Is.
The short story here is that 107 Days was far from the only time Harris spoke up about WH staff very explicitly undermining her and her role during her term as VP.
They systematically and deliberately stymied her, and when confronted, they doubled down.
To the detriment of her, Biden, and the entire country and world.
And if I'm her? You bet your ass I'm frustrated. Infuriated, probably. And it's no wonder she wants to do it again on her own terms in 2028.
Because this time around, she's refusing to be silenced. You can physically see the change in her: she's fiery, she swears, she's unfiltered, blunt, sharp, sometimes sassy.
She doesn't have to hide her political dexterity anymore, and that's why so many White 2028 hopefuls and consultants are talking her down.
Because they're terrified of her.
But we're with her all the damn way.

I asked Japan fans what the deal is with these trash bags they’re waving.
They’re actually functional trash bags. Everyone brings them to cheer during and clean up after themselves after.
Very on brand with Japan culture. easiest stadium cleanup Dallas has ever seen incoming
Two years ago today, @KamalaHarris and @DouglasEmhoff hosted a pride event at the Vice President’s Residence.
“Our fight is not against something but for something. For the freedom to be who you are, for the right to love who you love, and for the ability to live without fear. Together, we will continue to push forward and ensure that joy and pride prevail.” ~ Kamala

🚨 The White House May Have Just Confirmed The Most Important Part Of The Epstein Story Without Meaning To.
New reporting comes out.
The response isn't:
"None of this happened."
The response is:
"Find the leaker."
Think about the logic.
If officials are launching a leak probe, they're looking for people inside the administration who spoke to reporters.
That means they're treating the conversations as real.
Thank you @RepBeatty
They put her ON MUTE on the video call when the Board voted to put that man’s name on the Kennedy Center
She said bet and took them to court
Never put a Black woman on mute BECAUSE SHE’LL COME BACK WITH A “I AM SPEAKING” REAL QUICK
Happy Name Removal Day
