it’s barefoot contessa 2025, baby. we’re buying flowers so the house looks beautiful. we’re baking chocolate peanut-butter cupcakes just because. we’re having fabulous dinner parties to celebrate our friends’ successes. we’re having dessert after lunch, & then again after dinner!
I know millennials get a bad rap for being corny and too into BuzzFeed quizzes and identifying way too hard with Hogwarts Houses but we’ve been dealt a horrible hand and turned out to be the best generation
This passage from Michelle Obama:
"I hope you'll forgive me if I'm a little frustrated that some of us are choosing to ignore Donald Trump's gross incompetence while asking Kamala to dazzle us at every turn. I hope that you'll forgive me if I'm a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior. His obvious mental decline. His history as a convicted felon. A known slumlord. A predator found liable for sexual abuse. All of this while we pick apart Kamala's answers from interviews that he doesn't even have the courage to do, y'all."
@PopCrave I listened to the whole thing and still don’t hear who she’s voting for? How hard is it to say you’re voting for Harris? Give me a break. Unserious.
Nobody needs talking points to know Jill Stein hasn’t won so much as a bingo game in the last decade and if you actually give a damn about people, you organize, build power and infrastructure, and win.
Rep. @AOC: No one can tell me that Donald Trump is somehow the same as the Democratic ticket in any way, shape, or form. Tell that to a woman who is bleeding out in an ER in a state that doesn't guarantee abortion rights. This isn't a game
Vice President Harris says Tim Walz, as a high school teacher in the late 90s, was the faculty advisor to his school's Gay-Straight Alliance:
"At a time when acceptance was difficult to find for LGBTQ students, Tim knew the signal it would send to have a football coach get involved."
My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.
Paraphrasing from Michelle Obama’s “Becoming” book
She asked her Mom why she was holding Barack’s hand on election night
“His father left when he was 2. He lost his mother to cancer. He was moments away from becoming leader of the free world with no parents. So I took his hand”
