Nothing matters more than stopping Trump this November. Every progressive cause, every progressive conviction, every progressive goal you have will fare many, many times worse under Trump. Our definitive purpose right now should be electing Vice President Harris. Period.

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

Trump just claimed that immigrants have the "highest level of criminality". Actually, the opposite is true.

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

Fun Fact: There are 1.2 million Haitian Americans living in the United States, and over 300,000 of them can vote in Florida.

[KSV @KSVesq]

While many of us are laughing at how genuinely deranged Trump sounds tonight (and boy does he) I just cannot shake the deeply unsettling feeling of knowing that nearly half of our country thinks he is fit to do *any* job let alone run this country.

[ANNE LAMOTT @ANNELAMOTT]

This is a good reminder. Tight as a tick till the end.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Saying you would deal with Vladimir Putin by getting along well with him only means that Vladimir Putin has already dealt with you.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

WOW! This is incredible. Parents of the boy who was k*lled in Ohio by an immigrant SLAM Donald Trump for using their son’s name to spread hate.

Good for them!!! 💙

"Chip Roy, JD Vance, and Donald Trump, they have spoken my son's name and use his de*th for political gain.

They can vomit all the hate they want about illegal immigrants, the border crisis, and even untrue claims about fluffy pets being ravaged and eaten by community members.

However, they are not allowed, nor have they ever been allowed to mention Aiden Clark from Springfield, Ohio."

For the record: You cannot have an abortion in the 9th month. You cannot have an abortion after birth. If we didn’t keep banning books, maybe we wouldn’t have to clear that up. #Debate2024

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Yes!! For 800,000+ Americans, these fixes to automatically cancel $39 billion in student debt are life changing. This action is what it looks like when the Education Department is on the side of working people. Good work by the Biden-Harris Administration. https://t.co/TgJxmR3x16

I started a new project, because I think we all need a bit more joy in our lives. Maybe you'd like to join.
https://t.co/UWFHNLxGvP It's the most fun I've had writing since @teaandcookies (rip) 😊

[Heather Cox Richardson (TDPR) @HC_Richardson]

The vast majority of the theft occurred in 2020. Worth noting that the Biden administration put into place the watchdogs Trump rejected.

[Michelle Hamilton @MMHam]

Really lovely and important essay by ⁦@tea_austen⁩ “Because queerness is not only our history, it is also our humanity.” #pride https://t.co/GxxJQeJpBC

This is like the finale of a show that debuted in 2016

[PolarJohan @PolarJohan15]

If you don't like a law in America, what's great is you can appeal it all the way to the Supreme Court, which features two different rapists, an avowed theocratic Christo-fascist and at least one dude that'll write any opinion you want as long as you give him enough bags of money

[Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar]

A reminder that women, not judges or politicians, should be able to make their own medical decisions.

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

@LeaderMcConnell $1,200,000 that’s how much money Mitch took from the NRA to allow this to continue

[Dr. Justin Zimmerman @JZPhilosophy]

A friendly reminder that Black southern activists have been at the forefront of dragging the country towards justice kicking and screaming. The entire country.

[Sari Beth Rosenberg @saribethrose]

Dear Tennessee House @GOP Members

Y’all just played yourselves.

You just put two brilliant men into the national spotlight.

You just energized even more young people to vote you all out.

You just broadcast your racism to the world.

Remember: For the right there is never any good way for black people to protest things. If we follow the rules we’re wrong, if we make speeches we’re wrong, if we march we’re wrong. The only acceptable protest for them is shut up and be subservient like Herschel Walker and co.
