I just voted.
I voted for me. For my 10-year old daughter. For my 81-year old mother. For my family and my friends. Even for total strangers so we can all move forward together and realize the promise of America. 🇺🇸
I was overwhelmed by emotion when I voted. I’m grateful for the privilege to be able to vote.
Today’s the day to ensure that our individual freedoms and rights are protected and respected. Today’s the day our voices are heard.
#ElectionDay
We have to choose leaders who embody the values we seek to pass onto our children.
We can’t forget that the words our leaders utter have a real impact on them – those words can build them up, or they can tear them down.
So please, please vote for a better future for our kids. Vote for @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz.
I’ve been so moved by watching emotional videos posted by people after voting for Kamala & Tim. Voting for our daughters, wives, sisters, from red and blue states. This is that moment. I proudly cast my vote for my friend and family Kamala Harris 💙🇺🇸😭! Here we go!!!!!
Last night I asked random Black men -of all ages- I encountered at ATL, how they were gonna vote. Listen to what they answered.
And let me tell you something, do not underestimate the elders. Grandmas, do your thing.

As the great Congressman John Lewis reminded us, democracy is not a state—it is an act.
Now is our time to act. And together, we will win: https://t.co/VbrfuqVy9P.
On the eve of the election, we remind all Americans what is at stake. This election is a battle for America's future: a country of choice, justice, and freedom or a regime of total control. This election is about right and wrong, not left or right. Unity or division.
America, you decide.
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.
As someone gravely ill with a brutal #cancer I want to say this to my fellow Americans: You only have one life. I urge you to spend it loving and caring, not hating and filled with grievance. Every day we have the chance to start over, to be better, to lift others up. Do that.
One reason pollsters might be failing to pick up what and Seltzer picked up in Iowa, is a lot of women are afraid to say they are voting for Harris.
Sharing stories yesterday after knocking doors in Pennsylvania, can't tell you the number of canvassers who had wives standing in the background while speaking to the husband and having them mouth something to the effect that they were voting for Harris. Or if they answered the door, they pretended to not say who they were voting for out loud and then whispered they were voting for Harris. It's kind of heartbreaking actually.
Read my lips. 👀
Last week I wrote about all your baby learns from your face. Here’s another wonderful illustration shared to IG by hinzmanfam_.
As babies learn to speak, they use more than just their ears to learn about the sounds we are making.
They also use their eyes, studying how subtle movements and different mouth shapes produce a variety of sounds - and then working to emulate what they see.
Watch as this dad whistles for his daughter. After a few examples, she gives it a try - pursing her lips and vocalizing a high pitched squeak.
What an amazing observer!
It’s a fantastic reminder of the importance of face-to-face interaction.
Get up close and talk with your baby. Your face is teaching them valuable lessons.
Pretty awesome that the Harris campaign is holding coordinated concerts tomorrow in every single swing state, featuring Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Ricky Martin, Jon Bon Jovi, Andra Day, Christina Aguilera, Los Tigres Del Norte, SOFI TUKKER, Sugarland, and James Taylor.
They think they can buy America.
Setup lavish lifestyles for the judiciary.
Acquire political allegiance through their PACs.
Gobble up the 4th Estate.
Dangle million dollar lotteries for your vote.
What they cannot buy is your integrity.
They cannot buy your determination to preserve the American dream. For you and your loved ones.
They cannot stifle your compassion for the vulnerable amongst us.
They cannot silence your demands for justice and accountability.
This election is about whether America belongs to its people, or to unscrupulous billionaires and the politicians who do their bidding.
