Said it before and I’ll say it again: I am suspicious that Tim Walz was built in a lab for this job at this moment. #DNC2024

The exact moment felt like when Walz said — “never underestimate a public teacher”
Teachers are absolute warriors, given how resource constrained they are, to do all that they do.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it” Walz says of Project 2025

Gov. Walz: Growing up in a small town, you learn how to take care of each other. That family down the road, they may not think like you do, they may not pray like you do, they may not love like you do. But they’re your neighbors. You look out for them, and they look out for you https://t.co/MZwpZ8s9e2

In school, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz were the people befriending kids like Gus Walz and defending them from bullies.
Donald Trump, JD Vance, and their supporters were the ones bullying them.
This election is about character and decency.
We need to show up.

No one being honest can say after watching the exhilarating, dynamic, badass, completely unified Democratic party the last month but esp these last few days that it isn’t damned clear the bridge was constructed by POTUS.

Clinton: Don’t count the lies. Count the I’s. He is like one of those tenors opening up before they go out on stage like I did, trying to get his lungs open up by saying “Me, me, me, me.” With Kamala Harris as president, every day will begin with “You, you, you, you.” https://t.co/X0zU6289Yl

Harris Comms Director Michael Tyler: Throughout this campaign, RFK Jr. has been propped up by MAGA donors. He has parroted MAGA talking points. I don’t think it would be any surprise if he were to endorse Donald Trump. Our message isn’t for RFK Jr., it’s for the voters. This just cements the fact that this election will be a choice between Vice President Harris, who is fighting for the American people, and Donald Trump who is fighting for himself

Interesting video from Joy Reid about the Black women behind the scenes who had MVP’S back

Nothing but personal. The audacity of those asking Black people to throw away their votes, or not vote at all. Just an offense to Black History.

One thing I learned last night–maybe he said this in Jan6 hearings and I missed this–is that Bennie Thompson’s father never cast a vote bc of Jim Crow. He talked about why that made Jan6 so much worse for him.

I love Walz. Clinton’s voice is so light sounding.
I think Walz was the best decision by the Vice President. He is wonderful.

Somebody’s Big Mama is in her living room right now with a Black Jesus on one wall, a photo of Obama on another wall, and a calendar from a funeral home on another wall, watching Bill Clinton at the #DNC2024 saying “yup, he still got it.”
And that’s why he’s on the stage. https://t.co/5hWZA4Tj07

I just saw the disgusting video of @realMikeLindell yelling at @KnowaWasTaken – a child.
Lindell, Knowa is my personal guest. Knowa is 12 years old. He is our future and I invited HIM to attend our convention but YOU sir were not invited and frankly not wanted.
So don’t l EVER come into this building filled with hope and joy and bring your vitriolic bitterness and bile! And the next time you feel compelled to yell at another young Black kid… come find me!
