This picture captures the moment:
This little black girl. In her pigtails. Watching the person who could become the first Black Woman President of the United States.
When I say, all in my feels?
Takes me back to this picture. It punches the guts because of the cultural relativity of it.
I know that little Black girl in pigtails. I was that little Black girl in pigtails.
And, if we pull this off in November, there could never ever ever be enough thanks to give him. Because without his handling this like a Chess Grandmaster, this all could have turned out differenty.
Love this video of the first day of classes at Clark Atlanta.
it is called The Promenade.
love how the President interacts with the students 🤗🤗🤗

For all the “still here?” talk about Bill Clinton, his line about Trump — don’t count the lies, count the “I”s — is already having influence on how I listen to Trump. And it is insane once you start counting.

“One of the reasons Democrats had such unity this week is that with Ms. Harris’s elevation, the progressives kind of won a long struggle.
The moderate Hillary Clinton was defeated by the seemingly more progressive Barack Obama in 2008. The moderate Joe Biden beat all comers to his left but, in his economic and social policy, tugged progressive because that’s where the rising power in his party was.
Ms. Harris is of and from that rising power. We’re going to start hearing the phrase “pragmatic progressive” in the coming months.”

Koch Invests in Massive Land Grab From West African Herders
By Don Wiener | August 21st, 2024 at 2:36 AM (CDT)
An investment arm of the largest private company in the U.S. — Koch, Inc., formerly known as Koch Industries — is investing in an agricultural business venture that will provide corporations with carbon offsets while pulling local natural resources from almost 7.2 million acres (2.9 million hectares) of land in three West African countries, the Center for Media and Democracy has learned.
The project, led by the U.S.-based company African Agriculture Holdings, will consume large amounts of water in a drought-prone region and prevent the land from being used for subsistence farming in order to grow cattle feed for export and provide corporations needing to offset their CO2 emissions with carbon credits.
Koch, largely owned by Charles Koch and his brother’s widow, Julia Koch, bought 266,666 shares of African Agriculture in the fourth quarter of 2023 through one of its many investment arms, Spring Creek Capital, which invests in publicly traded companies. African Agriculture went public on NASDAQ on December 7, 2023, issuing a total of 58 million shares.
