OK, I take it back. We can do this. The support for Harris is phenomenal, and the fund raising since the announcement has also sparked.
And as Heather Cox Richardson just pointed out in her impromptu live session, Biden's timing of this announcement couldn't be better or more damaging to the GOP. They have an old, senile, incompetent man heading their ticket and his VP pick is a very loud misogynist and separatist.
Stopping Project 2025 is paramount, and Harris as our president will do this in style.
Another thing that Heather mentioned in the session was that now that Biden has left the race, he can focus on his job as president for the next six months in ways that he wouldn't have been able to had he stayed in the race. It puts him above the fray, so he'll have a much freer hand to do what he needs to do in service to the country. So yes, there is a silver lining here that makes Harris a really strong candidate and Biden an even better president than he already was (and he already was pretty darn good).
And yeah, I really like the whole prosecutor going after the felon angle that Joyce Vance pointed out in her latest Substack letter. That's good.
Whew. I feel better now.
To honor Biden's endorsement of Kamala Harris, let's all see if we can register a few voters and have them commit to voting blue in November.
Biden's Timing: Undercutting Bibi

The timing of Bibi Netanyahu's business, coming at a time when everyone expects Kamala Harris to be focused on acquiring the endorsements she needs to win the nomination, gives her cause to remain distanced from whatever Bibi plans to pull in DC this week.
Neoplatonist philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician Hypatia is the first female mathematician whose life is reasonably well recorded.
Hypatia worked on commentaries of Diophantus's "Arithmetica," Apollonius's "Conics," and edited the work of her father, Theon, on Ptolemy's "Almagest." She contributed to the understanding of algebraic equations and conic sections. She is believed to have invented the astrolabe and the hydrometer.

90% of Ukrainians, according to a survey, are ready to endure interruptions in electricity and heat for 2 years or more if they see the prospect of Ukraine's membership in the EU This was announced by First Lady Olena Zelenska in an interview with the BBC. According to her, the social study was completed last week. Ukrainians were asked how much longer they are willing to endure in such conditions, without light, without heat. The overwhelming majority answered that they were ready to endure for the sake of victory and the prospect of Ukraine's membership in the EU. "In this European family they want to be equal. We know why — for the sake of victory, for the sake of dignity, for the fact that this democratic family is waiting for us and we want to be equal with others in it. Ukrainians are ready to endure this. We are optimistic about these things," Zelenska said.
Please people, don't fall for the crypto bullshit
It was a wonderful idea years ago but nowadays it's only used for quick 'gains' that need to come from somewhere
I am happy the blocks are finally falling, I am so sick of seeing a new alt coin every single day..
It's a scam, better plant a tree or something
What I’m seeing in #TwitterMigration so far is the mostly white, relatively mainstream folks are going to Post dot News, and the more diverse, relatively leftist folks are going to Mastodon (scattered across different instances here).
Is that what y’all are seeing?
I’m on both (same user name). I thought this divide would lessen over time, but it seems to be increasing instead. We’ll see how it plays out.
However, I’m concerned about the bifurcation in terms of the impact on organizing.
