If you’re still on the fence about voting in this election, think about what really matters – about the values we were taught, the kind of country we want to be, and how this is a moment when your vote really does count.
Your vote could determine the fate of our republic – the world that our children and grandchildren will inherit. It’s an awesome responsibility. But what an extraordinary privilege it is to live in a democracy that gives each of us the opportunity to make our voices heard.
BREAKING: https://t.co/JQWy2gTfhs just dropped a new track titled "Yes She Can"—and yes, “She” is Kamala Harris.
This is the anthem America needs to hear right now.
Holy shit, this “American girl” ad from @senecaprojectus is amazing!!!
Hard to see the letters I’m typing through the tears streaming down my face though.
Just like Kamala Harris, I have been the underdog and I have been underestimated!! My success always discredited!… Let me tell you something, women have to work ten times harder and perform ten times better and STILL our success comes with excuses… its because shes pretty or because she slept her way to the top. I see the disgusting attacks against Kamala and it’s not only angered me but has motivated me MORE now than ever to not just say something, but to DO something!… I cant stand a bully!
This is not true. It is classic disinformation. The likeliest suspect is a Russian troll farm. It’s isn’t even that good of a fake….but it is fake. It is a lie. Please let anyone you know that this is a steaming pile of Russian…well you get it.
This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. #Womenwillnotbesilenced#VoteKamala
If you’re one of these “they’re both bad!” conservative types, please watch this. Tell me how you could possibly justify not doing everything possible to keep this contemptible man away from the American presidency.
The American economy generates 36% more per person than European economies, and 61% more than Japan.
Despite what Trump may say, the American economy is still the envy of the world. @Morning_Joe
HOW is the world still turning?
HOW are we going about our daily lives when these scenes are being played out cross the continent?
HOW are mothers and fathers experiencing this grief and still standing? What the hell is wrong with this world? We can't say it enough. When will this evil end.

Reposting the below for the sake of our Foreign Secretary, @DavidLammy...
...who just ventured that genocide requires "millions" of deaths, therefore any concerns of ongoing genocide in Gaza (where an estimated 200,000 have died so far) “undermines the seriousness” of the term.
(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Trump White House Personnel Director, Linked to Project 2025 and Slated for a Huge Role If Trump Is Elected, Echoes Increasingly Loud Calls From the Trumpist Evangelicals He Works With to—This Is Real—*End Voting Rights for Women*
Here's our last parody song about the #USElection2024. It's called "Bohemian Trumpsody" (based on the inimitable @QueenWillRock but with only six voices & no overdubs) & we've self-trolled in it as 'libtards' already, just to save folks time who might be offended 🎶🗳️🤞

A PERSONAL UPDATE!!!
Last Father’s Day I mentioned that following this election I would be stepping away from advocacy and politics. If the election goes the right way, the work will continue with amazing advocates who fight every day for our safety. If the election goes the wrong way, the work will stop. I fully expect that this the election will result in Kamala Harris as President and Tim Walz as Vice President. Either way, for me, it will be time to move forward in a new direction.
I have spent the past almost 7 years living a life I did not choose. I was always on the road, or when home, absorbed by reading, writing, zoom meetings, interviews, phone calls, etc. My family never got the best of me. I spent more time with other young people than I did with my son. I spent more time with other adults than I did with my wife, my family, my longtime friends. I am a truly fortunate and lucky man that my family gave me the space that I needed to pursue the mission to reduce gun violence in America.
I have spent years trying to help people imagine what I have experienced just to get them to vote. Voting always gives me hope and I believe voting is the way to solve problems in America. I am again counting on that being true in this election.
Last Father's Day I was clear that I had one big job left in me and it was this election. For me, this election is about my hopes for the future. However, this election is also about working to protect things we hope not to lose. I already lost what I love most with the murder of Jaime. Women have already lost bodily autonomy in many states. Democracy is at risk, as are our rights to vote in future elections. This election is now exactly one week away from being over. I hope we all vote to protect what we still have, what we value, and who we love. Let’s vote with hope for the future.
What stepping away from politics and advocacy means for me is still a work in progress. With certainty, I will devote added attention to the work that our foundation Orange Ribbons for Jaime is doing. I love everyone who I have gotten to know personally, in politics, in media and across the country. I will be forever grateful to the many heroes across the nation who fight every day for our right to be free from gun violence. Now, it is time to put my energy back into my family, my friends, and myself.
I have only two remaining asks of everyone. The first is probably expected and easy as we have only one week left. If you have not yet voted, please get out and vote and if possible, vote early. Do it for me, do it for Jaime, do it for the other victims of gun violence who have no voice today, do it for those who you love and want to protect from gun violence, do it for this Democracy that we all love, and do it for your ability to keep on voting in future elections.
The second ask is that you don’t forget Jaime and me. I have invested all my heart, soul, and energy into this and into protecting others who I will never know because of what happened to my family. I have no idea what my place in the history of this movement will mean, but I do hope I played an important role and that my voice mattered. I am proud of what we achieved, and I am hopeful for what will come next. While my voice will still show up on occasion, it is time for me to again live and to dedicate myself to my family.
No, I am not retiring. I am going to start reliving.
One last note, and it is a personal ask of our next President. @KamalaHarris, while I am stepping away, I hope to begin by celebrating your election. If you see this, would love to join you at your inauguration.
