Notices by Sharon 🤦🏾‍♀️ for Harris (sharoncrockett@toot.community)

These girls...deserve a brighter future. #vote for THEM.

No words. But, I feel this way, too, sometimes. And as a thought experiment, just substitute the word "Nazi" for "Trump"; think about it.

My take on tonight's fascist MSG rally. Yes, it's to rile up the violent factions in his base. But it's also to distract the media so that we'll all talk about HIM now. He doesn't care if it's negative coverage. He just wants to be the center of attention going into the final days of the campaign. Every time we're talking about his racism is time we're not talking about Harris' economic plans or Michelle Obama's speech. Don't take the bait. Leave it for the historians. #distraction

King James Version. Psalm 109:8, "Let his days be few, and let another take his office" (Source: The Other 98 Percent)

My grandfather hated Hitler and willingly fought overseas during WWII EVEN THOUGH the armed forces were still segregated and when he returned home and was promoted to Major from Captain he was not accorded the respect he deserved from many white Southerners. So there's that.

A plea to white women voters, a slight majority of whom at this point prefer Trump over Harris (per the latest polling, which I try not to give too much credence to).

Sometimes I feel like I'm living through a period of great historical consequence, but that a lot of other people just don't care or are oblivious to what's going on.

Climate crises; a pandemic; human migrations; animal species die-offs; new technologies we can't grapple with humanely because we haven't evolved enough (AI, the internet); also, rising authoritarianism and continued prejudice and violence. I pray the arts, science, humor and basic empathy can help us get through it all.

@WarnerCrocker Because she sounds a lot like me! 😆

@WarnerCrocker 🤣 This reads like a classic Elaine May-Mike Nichols bit. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Judge Delays Trump’s Sentencing Until Nov. 26, After Election Day https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/06/nyregion/trump-sentencing-delay-ruling.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Ik4.gP-r.cuOdhpHIHrOG

Exactly what I predicted!

I have this sinking feeling that Judge Merchant will decide to postpone yet again Trump’s sentencing until after the election. I just don’t think he wants to be perceived as putting a thumb on the scale of this election. I won’t agree with this approach, if he goes down that road. But, I will understand if he does. If, God forbid, Trump wins, he’ll then be sentenced, and if he gets prison time it’ll be postponed until after the end of his term— if he gives up power in 2028, which is not certain.

I live in a tiny reddish corner of a blue state. My area is gradually turning purple due to demographic changes. So, I still run across sentiments like this one seen recently on a walk in my area. It's by no means typical. Most of us try to be neighborly; so I would never think of putting a bumper sticker on my car that reads "Republicans SUCK". Democrats generally don't do that sort of thing.#joy #welcoming #bigtent

@WarnerCrocker "What's to criticize?" I say, scratching my head. Enough with the doom and gloom. "Join us!" I say to all of the critics of the fun party. There's always been a strain of New England puritanism in Americans. I accept that. But, as Ecclesiastes 3:7-8 says, there's "a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace." Right now at the DNC is a time to sew, speak and love.

Wow! Harris filled both the RNC and DNC convention venues at the same time!
