Tomorrow's @nytimes.com headline: "Was Trump's Feisty Appearance at Black Journalists' Convention Enough to Set Rumors of Racial Bias to Rest?"

Trump is drowning in his own weird smarmy racist bullshit talking to Black journalists, claiming Kamala Harris "just turned Black." https://www.threads.net/@goldengateblond/post/C-GOkVaAriY?xmt=AQGzdHwJAc2f3QYcT8WNo7mupNEKgw__KyhmsNZdoRJSbA

Ignore the BS about the director of Project 2025 stepping down. It's not going anywhere. I doubt Trump has read a page of Project 2025. You think he gives a f*ck about specific policies? He's a lazy dumbass in steep cognitive decline who wants to cheat at golf and fantasize about his daughter while farming the boring stuff out to Heritage goons to do all the heavy lifting and kiss his ass while the MAGA nudniks handle the nuts and bolts of voter suppression and election interference.

The GOP slogan for 2024: "Don't call us weird or we'll use Project 2025 and our MAGA Supreme Court to put you in a f*cking concentration camp. Checkmate libs."

My late friend David Crosby would have been thrilled about the rise of Kamala Harris. David was one of the most patriotic people I've ever known -- he loved America deeply, and before he died, he made clear to me how heartbroken he was about the GOP and the sale of his beloved Twitter to "lunatic" Elon Musk, as he put it. “I’d be very happy with [Elizabeth] Warren or [Kamala] Harris…it is time for a woman to be president” - David Crosby, Twitter, August 4th, 2019 [via IG: @morningfalling]

Blathering GOP chucklehead yuks it up while dismissing fascism as "classic Trumpism." "Hahahahahahaha." https://www.threads.net/@aaron.rupar/post/C9-BQd0Aw5i?xmt=AQGzM8h3ocKU8rKK-fKmUVUgY7xb5jNFs-UQjfkOuASi5g

There's more to the Kamala campaign's sassy brat responses to Trump than "what a burn." Her statements are re-normalizing human responses to these weird, hollowed-out, cringey creeps who should be in prison. The revulsion when seeing someone like Stephen Miller is instinctive. The snark is healing.

Ouch.

THIS is the top story in the world today, even if it isn't on every front page as it should be: Trump calls for the suspension of national elections, assures his cult they'll "never have to vote again."

Our ancestors fought fascism on the beaches of Normandy. Now we have to do it here. Vote Blue.

Instead of trying to be polite to a fascist monster, I like how Kamala's campaign has chosen instead to be a thousand angry bees under Trump's skin, swarming down his throat and around his eyes, stinging, stinging, as her laughing face looms in his nightmares.

I know I'm a sap, but this just made me weep.

After prominent sociopath and fraud Elon Musk viciously attacked his trans daughter on X, calling her "dead," Vivian decided she'd had enough. https://www.advocate.com/elon-musk-trans-daughter-vivian-wilson

If anyone thinks Trump's statement to his nephew that disabled people should "just die" (actual quote) is just empty talk, the GOP's Project 2025 will put it into action by framing the deficit as a "Medicare and Medicaid problem" instead of a GOP billionaire donor problem. If you want the disabled people in your life to "just die," vote red. https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/health/managing-health-insurance/project-2025-medicare-medicaid

Do you like sex? YOU'RE THE PROBLEM WITH THIS COUNTRY, says the freakyfreaky, clammy-handed incels at the Heritage Foundation who can't wait to surveil your periods, architects of Trump's Project 2025, WHICH WILL PUT AN END TO ALL THAT "senseless" use of birth control.

Kamala is the stake to drive right through the heart of that vampire who's been sucking the blood out of this country for a decade. https://www.threads.net/@briantylercohen/post/C9xzShYxJQL?xmt=AQGzmchu1wezsuVgp-S-jVmk6AJ9VRnQu8YVudSYA6ivcw

Now let's start addressing Trump's "frailties" as a candidate. 1) He's a doddering rapist whose name appears all over Epstein's notebooks and openly fantasizes about "dating" his daughter while leading a party that vows to end women's reproductive rights for a generation. Do I need a number two?

Exactly this. By Mike Luckovich.

When Trump struck a TV-ready pose after a bullet whizzed past his ear, Mark Zuckerberg called it "one of the most badass things I’ve ever seen in my life." Imagine if Trump's billionaire masters had the emotional maturity to recognize what real badassery is: Biden sacrificing his own ego and ambition to preserve our democracy. Go Kamala.
