Taylor Swift wrote a song about my son, Ronan, after he died of cancer. She put me on as a co-writer, and donated the proceeds directly to pediatric cancer -no strings, no hidden motives, just pure compassion and integrity.
In stark contrast, the Trump family engaged in significant fundraising efforts for children with cancer through the Eric Trump Foundation. However, reports later revealed that funds were used to pay Trump-owned properties for hosting fundraising events, raising concerns about conflicts of interest and self-dealing. What could have been a mission solely dedicated to supporting children in need became tainted by financial practices that appeared to benefit the Trump Organization, casting a shadow over the charitable intentions initially claimed.
This election is a no-brainer. It’s a choice between compassion and corruption, between someone like Kamala Harris, who has spent her career fighting for justice, and Trump, who has exploited the vulnerable at every turn. Kamala has consistently shown a commitment to supporting communities and ensuring people’s rights are protected, while Trump and his family have even stooped to taking funds meant for children with cancer.
If integrity, empathy, and basic decency matter, then this choice couldn’t be clearer. Supporting Kamala and her values means standing up for the kind of future where compassion isn’t just talk—it’s action. We owe it to ourselves and to the next generation to reject self-interest and stand on the right side of history.
This is not funny- this is a continuation of the disrespect of our brothers and sisters– our fellow Americans– in Puerto Rico. To make such disgusting comments in NY, the home of more Puerto Ricans than anywhere outside of Puerto Rico is even more obnoxious and an insult to all who live here.
Donald Trump should immediately apologize for the garbage he brought to New York.
.@Sunny Hostin: "This Puerto Rican has something to say about the island that I love, where my family is from. Puerto Rico is trash? We are Americans, Donald Trump."
"My fellow Puerto Ricans, trash collection day is November 5, 2024. Don't forget it."
@JoeBiden@KamalaHarris YOU have inspired us, Joe! We love you, and your selfless passing of the torch will go down as one of America's finest moments! In the mean time, GO KAMALA!!!❤️#NotGoingBack
