reviving my personal for political purposes (tryna get politics off my fandom twt)

[Cake or Death @Johngcole]

I saw a tiktok that said that "Tim Walz is so dad coded he is going to New balance the budget" and that "Tim Walz is so dad when they put the budget bill on his desk he asked 'What's the damage?'"

I had forgotten politics could be fun and doesn't have to feel like death row.

Come to think of it, denigrating the worth of a soldier’s service based on whether he deployed to a war zone is… kind of like denigrating the worth of a woman’s citizenship based on whether she happens to have children.

If you’re upset about the idea of kids getting tampons and lunch in school but not upset about them getting shot in school, you don’t actually give a crap about kids.

Tim Walz is the dad an entire generation wish they had instead of the one they lost to Fox News.

Ayyyeeee!
To the windows, to the WALZ!
Let's goooo

Met Tim Walz on my first day in Congress, sat next to him on Veterans Affairs committee for the following six years. No one fought harder for veterans. And he did it by bringing Democrats and Republicans together to get the job done.

As Governor of Minnesota he codified abortion rights, implemented background checks, legalized marijuana, passed paid family leave, restored voting rights and invested more than $1 billion in affordable housing. Not bad.

And before any of this, he was a high school teacher, football coach and a 24-year veteran of the army national guard.

He also happens to be a terrific dad and husband — there isn’t a conversation I’ve had with him where he doesn’t bring up his kids, always with the biggest smile on his face.

We became friends in Congress, going on early morning runs (in the dead of DC winter, I’m bundled in layers and he’s wearing a t-shirt and shorts), talking Minnesota music, the Replacements (Tim!), Prince, Dylan, Husker Du, and sharing stories about our families and hometowns.

In a business that prioritizes transactional relationships, he’s always been good to me, reaching out when I’m up, reaching out when I’m down, just being a good friend. And in a profession that encourages poll-testing and focus groups and political corporate speak, he’s always himself, the real deal. Common sense, kindness and empathy.

I couldn’t be more excited that he’s on the ticket, couldn’t be more energized to do everything I can to help Vice President Harris and Governor Walz win the most important election of our lives.

Let’s go!

This is everything.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

When I called @Tim_Walz this morning to ask him to join our campaign, I shared my deep level of respect for him and the work we've done together.

We're going to unify this country and we're going to win.

Let's go get this done.

As someone who was there at issue one and spent most of their life fighting and scratching and clawing for GI, it breaks my heart to see it end. GI will always hold a special place in my heart. As always, the people are who matter. What an amazing journey for us all. GI4ever.

Released 10 years ago today, Papers Please is an excellent study of low-wage institutional tedium, and how the possibility of relief from that tedium can cause people to act rashly, in ways that appear to defy self-interest or even logic in general. https://t.co/7MImDJHgej
