The beginning of a new school year should be filled with excitement and anticipation. But today, it was marred by yet another act of senseless gun violence.
The students, teachers, and community of Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis now share a traumatic experience that has affected far too many Americans. I spoke with Governor Walz this afternoon to share Doug and my grief for the families impacted and our gratitude for the first responders and law enforcement on the scene.
Mayor Jacob Frey said it clearly: "Don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying."
We know the solutions. Our leaders must have the courage to act to stop these tragedies.
She had 107 days. She faced so many obstacles and yet she never quit. Too many people just didn’t vote and many just wanted to see her fail. But she ran a perfect campaign. And listen dems can run their mouth but they can’t say she wasn’t clear on her message. She was.
This election result isn't about Dem messaging.
Their messaging during the campaign was about helping the middle class, continuing with sound economic policies, affordable healthcare and education, the rights of women, strengthening the border, unity.
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz formed a balanced ticket filled with character, intellect, and genuine love for this country, and they eloquently delivered their vision better beautifully.
This election result is about racism, misogyny, lack of education—and an irresponsible media that caters to those realities.
There is no messaging that can overcome prejudice and ignorance, and those two factors are the only explanation for Trump even being the nominee and getting 75 million votes.
We need to stop pretending there is some perfect Democratic candidate or magic messaging to reach people who have abandoned objective reality and chosen to embrace their fears and phobias, while failing to do the slightest bit of work to know what candidates' policies and plans are.
The Dems didn't fail America, they just exist in a nation where far too many people don't pay attention or care to understand what's actually happening. Maybe they will now.
We believe in the ambitions of Americans.
We believe in the innovation of Americans.
We believe in the greatness of Americans.
There is no limit to what we can achieve together.
@NateSilver538 What a BS take! This is why Harris lost and why any Dem would have lost! It’s always a one-sided race! Only the Dem can be too old or mediocre! Trump was a shit candidate that won so clearly winning or losing had shit to do with the quality of candidate!
The thing about being willfully blind to racism and sexism, not just in your models but in your own soul, is that you can call the sitting vice president and first #BlackWoman to ever hold the office mediocre with your whole chest out and expect zero consequences whatsoever.
