Liz Cheney, Kamala #Harris

NYT:

Donald #Trump’s campaign aired an ad with a deceptively truncated quote from The New York Times that says Kamala #Harris "is seeking to significantly raise taxes." The full sentence said: “Harris is seeking to significantly raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans and large corporations.”

I.... I don't think that's how hurricanes work, Donald.

Excellent piece on #Harris and this press corps. Props to #JohnStoehr for calling out #ChrisCillizza's mediocrity and bad faith: "But after this press corps made a fetish of Biden’s age, I don’t see any more room for the benefit of the doubt – and there’s no going back. This press corps made the election about vibes and it’s going to remain an election about vibes, and if those vibes now grind against the instincts of this press corps, tough shit. You reap what you sow."

It's Happening: Swifties are Officially Organizing for Kamala #Harris https://www.thealtmedia.com/p/swifties-organizing

Just part of Lawrence O’Donnell’s opening tonight on The #LastWord. He lacerated Trump and the U.S. corporate news media and its lackey Trump sycophantic reporters. Shades of Peter Finch in “Network”—this is the kind of thing more people need to do. Roland Martin does this often.

Never underestimate Simone Biles. What a champion!🏅🌟

“Simone will formally announce her donation of $4M to the #HarrisWalz campaign! According to a source at Sports Illustrated, the sum of $4M represents $1M for each of the four medals she won at the Olympics in Paris.”— r/t Andy Behrman

Every time #KamalaHarris says “We’re not going back,” I think of the many ways in which that is true for me. One of them: I’m not going back to private, commercial social media. Just as healthy democracies disperse the powers of the state, healthy social media avoids excessive concentration. I will make this point to the #Harris campaign when I get their attention for Mastodon for Harris. Let’s keep showing them they should be participating in this community.

For the second time in <2 wks, a doctored video of MVP #KamalaHarris has spread widely on #ElonMusk’s #SocialMedia platform #X.

A video known as a “#deepfake” that was posted on X on Sat *appears* to show #Harris repeating herself over & over again, using a crude audio rendering made to seem like Harris is struggling to finish a complete sentence.

This is how it’s done:

“Donald Trump is running scared and trying to back out of the debate he already agreed to and running straight to Fox News to bail him out. He needs to stop playing games and show up to the debate he already committed to on Sept 10. The Vice President will be there one way or the other to take the opportunity to speak to a prime time national audience. …” Michael Tyler, spokesman for the Harris campaign

All governmental orgs and offices should be active on #Mastodon, a free and open platform, and not on for-profit social media.

Pass it on.

Flashback via KamalaHQ:

Kamala #Harris: Can you think of any laws that give the government the power to make decisions about the male body?

Brett Kavanaugh: I'm not thinking of any right now

#Biden steps aside as Democratic nominee, #endorses #Harris

President Biden is ending his presidential campaign, a momentous decision that upends the 2024 presidential race, and is endorsing Vice President Harris for the top of the ticket.

“I believe it is in the best interest of my party & the country for me to stand down & to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the reminder of my term,” Biden said in a statement.
