We see them from a mile away. We see them trying to slander the Vice-President. Trying to ” Hillary” her, and that they are taken aback by people calling them on their garbage. Trying to gaslight us that we don’t see what is right in front of our faces.
I really can't believe WaPo tried to do a story on Kamala Harris not doing prep work and being unprepared for things, when her entire history involves even Republicans admitting she's prepared as hell for everything she does. pic.twitter.com/WR4UdtdDph

I think it's because for many it is personal. I feel personally affected by misogynistic coverage. I imagine it's much worse for those who experience both misogyny & racism. Also marginalized communities often feel communal (familial) ties differently than dominant communities.

White dudebros and broettes in the beltway and on social media are not used to getting (figuratively not literally) punched back in the mouth. That's why they're a little shook by the dragging they get every time they come for VP Harris.

I agree. If you want to work for MVP, be ready to suit up and go to WAR for her.
Message to future VP Kamala Harris staff: Do not accept the role if you aren’t up for the challenge. When you work for a glass shatterer, expect to get cut; expect to fucking bleed! MVP is the FIRST trying not to be LAST! If you can’t handle the rigor, be honest & work elsewhere.

We are past the cookware and now on earbuds.
NEW: Kamala Harris has long felt that Bluetooth headphones are a security risk.
So, she insists on using wired ones, 3 fmr campaign aides told @rubycramer and me.
That Bluetooth phobia remains (if you look closely, you'll see the clump of wires in hand)https://t.co/9poyMTQrU2 pic.twitter.com/HtscTWm1sF— Alex Thompson (@AlexThomp) December 6, 2021
unlike some recent occupants of the White House, it’s fairly prudent to be extremely careful with digital security. I would imagine literally every intelligence service in the world would like to be privy to any convos she has. https://t.co/PcXOam7gfv

As far as Symone Sanders is concerned it’s sad that the MEDIA is putting words in a black woman’s mouth when this is what she had to say about a toxic work environment under Kamala Harris in Jun 2021. The media keeps pushing narrative and it’s weighing ALL OF US DOWN pic.twitter.com/4eiFcnGOEM

No…no she doesn't. There is nothing she can do to satisfy vultures who only seek to pick her bones clean.
And addressing rumors and innuendo won't stop it, because like Hillary, the goal is to destroy her.
I'd rather her not dignify it at all. https://t.co/8MLOow1Fvk

If y’all don’t get the attacks on the @VP is less about @KamalaHarris and more about making sure no woman, especially a black woman, reaches the Oval Office again. I don’t know what to tell you.

If you don’t have those who will try and both sides us out of democracy, then you have those who preach doom and gloom.

Baseball Hall of Fame: Buck O’Neil, Minnie Miñoso and Gil Hodges among six voted in by eras committees
Bud Fowler, Jim Kaat, and Tony Oliva were also voted in on Sunday
By Mike Axisa
The National Baseball Hall of Fame will induct at least six new members in 2022. Sunday evening the Hall of Fame’s Early Baseball Era Committee announced Negro League legends Bud Fowler and Buck O’Neil have been voted into Cooperstown. Also voted in were Gil Hodges, Jim Kaat, Minnie Miñoso, and Tony Oliva by the Golden Days Era Committee.
Simply put, O’Neil is a Negro Leagues icon and one of the most important figures in baseball history. A fine player who went to three All-Star Games in 10 Negro League seasons, O’Neil founded the Negro League Baseball Hall of Fame in Kansas City following his playing days, and he was also the first Black coach in baseball history. O’Neil died at age 94 in 2006, and the Buck O’Neil Award is given annually to the “individual whose extraordinary efforts enhanced baseball’s positive impact on society, broadened the game’s appeal, and whose character, integrity and dignity are comparable to the qualities exhibited by O’Neil.”
…………………………………………………………..
As with Hodges and O’Neil, Miñoso’s induction is long overdue. The Cuban Comet was one of the league’s first Latino players and All-Stars, and he is also considered the first Black Cuban player in the big leagues. He hit .299/.387/.461 with 2,110 hits, 195 home runs, and 216 steals in parts of 20 seasons, most with the White Sox. Miñoso, a 13-time All-Star, died at age 89 in 2015.
…………………………………………………
Fowler is widely considered the first Black professional baseball player. He pitched and played the infield in the 1800s and later helped found the Page Fence Giants, one of the all-time great Black barnstorming teams. Fowler died at age 54 in 1913.
