Itโs difficult to articulate just how much of a debt of gratitude America owes the people of Minneapolis.
They have set the gold standard in standing firm in their absolutely consistent approach and commitment to the power of local organising.
I am in awe of what they have achieved to date, but at such a dreadful cost to their community. They are the best among us, living proof that collective action can overcome tyranny.

Trump is destroying our freedoms.
I blame the hypocrisy and cowardice of Republicans. Iโm calling you all out.
The arrest of Don Lemon and other journalists is another assault on our constitutional rights.
We canโt let them get away with this.
The whole point of the chaos of Trumpโs cabinet picks is that we get so caught up in the absurdity of it all that we lose sight of the corruption. Trump is appointing people like RFK Jr., Matt Gaetz, and others to reward his loyalists, protect himself, and help his rich friends.
I better not ever hear another word from a Trump supporter about DEI, affirmative action, or meritocracy after Trump picked the most unqualified and unserious people to join his cabinet.
Trump did everything wrong (34 felony convictions, 2 impeachments, sexual assault judgment, insurrection, debate loss, and even simulated sex acts on stage), and it did not matter to the majority of white voters, including 52% of white women who voted for him anyway.
Today, so much is on the line.
On one hand, we have HIM, a felon, a comfortable liar, an impeached president, a misogynist, and a non-leader who doesnโt care about anyone, but the top 1%...which excludes over 300M Americans.
And on the other hand, we have HER, Kamala Harris, a proven leader, a knowledgeable, lifelong civil servant for the people, and a compassionate human being with the strength to lead and navigate our complex government who puts the needs of all Americans firstโฆ.a candidate with a detailed plan to take us forward.
What does a new way forward look like, you ask?
1. Cut Taxes for Working People
2. Lower Food and Grocery Costs
3. Lower Health Care Costs
4. Lower Prescription Drug Costs
5. Lower Energy Costs
6. Lower Costs by Protecting Consumers from Fees and Fraud
7. Help Americans Buy a Home and Afford Rent
8. Invest in the Small Businesses that Drive Growth, Innovation, and Jobs
9. Invest in American Innovation and Industrial Strength Powered by American Workers
10. Create Security and Opportunity for Workers and Build a Care Economy
11. Strengthen Opportunity in Communities Across America
12. Protect Americansโ Ability to Retire With Dignity
13. Make Our Tax Code More Fair and Promote Growth
My personal favorite - She supports all women having agency over their bodies and reproductive functions - from wellness care, to abortion, to IVF treatment. I mean, for this, she had me at HELLO!
So, take a hard look at whatโs on the table. If you donโt exercise your power, you forfeit your right to complain or have an opinion.
VOTE TODAY AND LETโS GO FORWARD!

Trumpโs Black outreach has failed. His Black support has plunged. Elon Musk is in trouble for leaving Black Trump canvassers stranded in the streets. And new data shows Trumpโs โBlack jobsโ rhetoric has backfired as Black voters do not view immigration as a top issue.
Weโre days away, yโall! We have the power and opportunity to elect a leader that cares enough about the everyday lives of all Americans. Someone who considers EVERYONE and passionately works to create better pathways forward. Kamala Harrisโ plan to create more space and opportunity for entrepreneurs is but one example of the type of leadership we need in order to turn the page. When sheโs elected President of The United States on Tuesday, it will be the start of a brand new day for our country. She represents everything that it means to be an American. โฆAND WE ARE NOT GOING BACK! Tag an entrepreneur in the chat that needs to see this, and make sure you get out and VOTE! #HarrisWalz2024 #KamalaHarris #TimWalz #Vote2024
FINALLLYYYY!
I've been trying to post this video all day.
Here is VP Kamala Harris giving a magnificent speech at a church in Detroit, Michigan this morning.
We donโt just want to win. We want to run up the score. We need to send a goddamn message that will reverberate through the annals of time. They need to know that allowing fascism into their party is what ended the GOP. Leave no doubt! #USDemocracy
