ALSO, #RaphaelWarnock came in to South Fulton HQ. He spoke very powerfully about women’s bodily autonomy and a recent death in #Georgia of a woman who was denied basic reproductive care. If you want to get fired up, listen to this (part 1 of 2). #Harris#ReproductiveRights#women#election2024#Vote
1. Do they take ownership of mistakes & do something meaningful to fix them?
2. Can they assess, w/out ego trumping their #integrity (pun intended), when to pass the torch w/ #patriotic enthusiasm to someone capable.
#Biden has served w/ the intent to put #America before personal gain & did an impressive job in the wake of a #Trump disaster. I believe he will choose to step aside to put the country & #Democracy 1st.
Dear mega-donor #Democrats calling for a “#miniprimary”…CUT IT OUT. #KamalaHarris is the more than capable heir apparent who will have access to the campaign money already raised & who most minimizes the legal vulnerabilities the #GOP intends to use to attack whatever candidate we choose. A mini primary undercuts her ability to beat #Trump by signaling a lack of faith. If you want a candidate that will energize the election out of the gate, #Kamala is your answer. Please get out of her way.
This opinion article covers all of the reasons why the #Democrats best (and only) alternative candidate is #KamalaHarris. The list is extensive. All naysayers buckle up.
#BREAKING: They may have found a #vaccine for #HIV! Add this to the gazillions of reasons why I’m so #grateful for Dr. #Fauci (I live in #NYC & I remember when we had mobile morgues & our president made it clear he didn’t care if we lived or died. But Fauci did everything he could to keep us safe w/#SCIENCE :) He also spent much of his career dedicated to fighting HIV & #AIDS & future generations will know him as one of the great #scientists & #humanists of our time. https://cnn.it/3ujbS4Y
“#Plastics are one of the greatest threats facing our #planet today. We are not going to #recycle our way out of this problem.” Consider participating in #PlasticFreeJuly. It’s kind of like Dry January only you start slow and have lots wiggle room (reducing our dependence on plastics ain’t easy:).
@feditips I don’t know why, but i’ve lost my ability to follow people. When I go to someone’s profile, the follow button is just a blank gray. PS i’m still getting my bearings in the fediverse so if there was a smarter way for me to ask this question, I apologize for not pursuing it.
@JWneural@ErikaSumner@feditips i’m new-ish here so i’m assuming your toot and accompanying photo convey something not scary that I just don’t understand. Please elaborate.
@JWneural@ErikaSumner@feditips Thank you so much for explaining! I’m heavily involved in public policy, govt & social justice issues & my 1st thought was that this was coming from someone belonging to a party known for threatening tactics. I clearly lost the plot when I forgot that there’s an elephant theme to the Fediverse🤣 Absolutely zero offense taken & I very much appreciate you responding. Thought I was reaching out to the @mstdn.social server admin, not the entire fediverse. #Whoops!
MASSIVE #SCANDAL: Leaked docs show the president of the #UN global #climate summit #COP28 secretly planned to lobby countries to increase the United Arab Emirates’ oil & gas exports. The man is the head of an #oil company & outcry when he was chosen to lead COP28 was ignored. I wish the world would learn from our #SCOTUS debacle. Conflicts of interest erode #integrity like acid.
Policy maven, nerd, humanist, antiracist, feminist, LGBTQ+ ally, progressive, and child of refugees. Love government, hate politics. I use my power to help those with less. Paying attention to policy, govt, justice, democracy, science & news. I’ve been described as impish so be warned;) Born & raised in NYC, we're not mean, just busy, & we help strangers all the time:) She/Her
