My statement on what’s unfolding in Los Angeles.

The Office of Kamala D. Harris

Los Angeles is my home. And like so many Americans, I am appalled at what we are witnessing on the streets of our city. Deploying the National Guard is a dangerous escalation meant to provoke chaos. In addition to the recent ICE raids in Southern California and across our nation, it is a part of the Trump Administration’s cruel, calculated agenda to spread panic and division.

The Administration’s actions are not about public safety – they’re about stoking fear. Fear of a community demanding dignity and due process.

Protest is a powerful tool – essential in the fight for justice. And as the LAPD, Mayor, and Governor have noted, demonstrations in defense of our immigrant neighbors have been overwhelmingly peaceful.

I continue to support the millions of Americans who are standing up to protect our most fundamental rights and freedoms.

You have a choice. Democracy and the continuation of the American experiment, or Fascism.

There is no scenario where doing nothing relieves you of the responsibility. Vote.

We’ll find out who we are soon enough.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check. Arraignment. Check.

Vote – 4 more days

Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country.

Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.

I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.

I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it’s much easier to vote early. I’ll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story.

With love and hope,

There you go.

Yep.

Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg
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.

Kamala Harris/Tim Walz (D) – “When we fight, we win.”

Kamala Harris, Tim Walz

From the Harris/Walz campaign:

Sometimes life is as much about the lessons you learn as the lessons you teach. When I grew up Community was a way of life. My high school class was twenty-four people. I was related to half of them. I learned to be generous towards my neighbors, compromised without compromising my values, and work for the common good.

My dad was in the Army and with his encouragement I joined the Army National Guard when I was seventeen. I served for twenty-four years. I used my GI benefits to go to college and become a public school teacher. I coached football and taught social studies for twenty years and I tried to teach my students what smalltown Nebraska taught me, respect, compromise, service to country.

And so, when I went into government that’s what I carried with me. I worked with Republicans to pass an infrastructure Bill, cut taxes for working families, signed paid leave into law. I codified abortion rights after Roe got overturned because I go to work for the common good.

But enough about me, let’s talk about you because that’s what the election is about. It’s about your future, it’s about your family. And vice president Harris knows that. She, too, grew up in a middle class family. She, too, goes to work every day making sure families cannot just get by, but get ahead. We believe in the promise of America, in those values I learned in Nebraska, and we’re ready to fight for them. Because as Kamala Harris says, when we fight, we win.

This is going to be fun.

This going to be fun.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) has been selected by Vice-President Kamala Harris to be her nominee for Vice President.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
[….]

Attorney General Ellison statement on the Harris-Walz ticket

August 6, 2024 (SAINT PAUL) – Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison released the following statement in response to Kamala Harris’ selection of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her nominee for Vice President of the United States:

“Tim Walz and I were elected to Congress together in 2006 and statewide office together in 2018. We have worked alongside one another for almost 20 years, so I can say with confidence that there is no better choice for Vice President of the United States of America. Tim has the courage of a veteran, the compassion of a school teacher, the grit of a football coach, and the experience of both a congressman and governor.

“If you want to understand who Tim Walz is, look no further than what he has done for Minnesota. Under Tim’s leadership, Minnesota is banishing hunger from our classrooms by providing free school meals to every student. Under Tim’s leadership, our state passed paid leave to ensure no worker has to choose between earning a living and caring for an ill family member. And under Tim’s leadership, Minnesota enacted universal background checks and a red flag law to protect people from gun violence. Tim Walz built a record of putting people first because that’s just the kind of person he is.

“Tim Walz .nd Kamala Harris are true public servants who have spent their lives working tirelessly on behalf of the American people. Plus, they are both big-hearted, jovial people with great senses of humor and boundless optimism. I look forward to campaigning vigorously for the Harris-Walz ticket, and I cannot wait to see what Kamala and Tim accomplish on behalf of America.”

There is a difference:

Democratic Governor Tim Walz signing a bill guaranteeing all children get to eat. Republican Sarah Huckabee Sanders signing a bill forcing children to work at the Hog De-Knuckler factory. Both parties are not the same.

Today, from Joe Biden (D):

Joe Biden
[July 21, 2024]
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.
