And here we go. My party's party. Let's save our country. #DemocraticNationalConvention
#BidenHarris2020ToEndThisNightmare

#BidenHarrisLandslide2020
Kind of beautiful watching this intro with diverse faces that look like my America -- America, the beautiful.
My God -- the Democrats are knocking this out of the park. It is only 5 min in - and despite not being "live" and "in person together," I am literally weeping.
The format of this remote DNC is really well done; I am enjoying paying attention to what everyone has to say without the distraction of the crowds - just pure words, earnestness, and righteousness. What we call "pono" in Hawaii.
Happy to see Sarah Gideon -- hey Maine voters, hire her to be your new senator and fire Susan Worthless Concern Collins.
I giggled with Gretchen Whitmer referred to herself as "that woman." Great that she's reminding Michigan (and the country) that Obama-Biden saved the auto industry.
I am a partisan Democrat. I loathe the Republican Party, which is just an accessory to the horror of Trump. But I'll take anyone who puts country -- America -- first to say "I'm with Joe." Let's get our country back & we can fight about policy in 2021.
I like the pace of this remote DNC. It is snappy. Makes it easy to stay tuned into every speaker and stay attentive. This is really well done.
Are those the photos the four bombing victims behind Sen Doug Jones? Man- I know Sen Jones is facing headwinds to re-election but he's a civil rights hero. Now is a GREAT time to send him some $ love & help re-elect this good man.
If the Dems want to just air this kind of content all day every day until election day, I'm here for it.
The Klob is a good loyal Democrat. I love her clear advocacy for Joe Biden. I am a little sidetracked by the fact that i have watched the Klob so often, I recognize the top she's wearing with the blue suit.
It is really cool that all of Biden's former rivals for the nomination are speaking so highly for him. It is clear that Democrats are united & Joe Biden is the real deal. I love it when The Klob & Kamala bash Trump. Oh & The Booker is hot. (yes, I started drinking the wine)
Oh my God- AMTRAK Joe! I love this... I love this so much.
Bernie is being very clear: "At its most basic, this election is about preserving our democracy." He warns against authoritarians & says he will work with all people, even conservatives, to save us. If the deadenders don't get the message, I don't know what will convince them.
"Nero fiddles while Rome burns. Trump golfs." - Bernie Sanders nails it.
In addition to the diversity of faces, colors, and races we are seeing tonight, we are also hearing a diversity of accents from across America and I love it all.
Michelle Obama will always be the best FLOTUS of my lifetime and just the sight of her, and hearing her voice makes me feel overcome. "The job is hard" she says of the presidency..."Being president doesn't change who you are; it reveals who you are." This is powerful.
I already know I need to re-listen to this speech by Michelle Obama a few times. She is softly yet righteously carving up Trump's lack of character into tiny little pieces.
Michelle Obama seems to grasp the sadness we all feel -- the depression and trauma and anger we are all carrying. Every word is channelling what we all feel.
Michelle Obama makes the case that Donald Trump is incapable of being president. Says "it is what it is." (I screamed when she said that). Says we have to vote for Joe Biden because our lives depend on it. And that's the God's honest truth.
The best FLOTUS of my lifetime is right: We need to vote in numbers that overwhelm the polls, so that no attempted cheating and suppression by Trump can overcome us. Put on your mask, pack a dinner, be willing to stand in line all night if you have to, she says. And she's right.
Michelle Obama is the voice of moral conscience in this country and this speech is phenomenal. I pity all those who will have to try to live up to this standard.
FYI: My Chardonnay is from California because west coast is the best coast.

On this Labor Day, be reminded that we have the 8 hr work day, 40 hr work week, & child labor laws because of the labor movement.

#LaborDay #VoteHarriaWalz2024 #VoteDemocratic
If you're enjoying your long weekend, remember that you have a weekend break from work because of the labor movement. #LaborDay #VoteHarriaWalz2024 #VoteDemocratic
Workers' compensation, unemployment insurance, pensions, and Social Security? They exist largely due to the labor movement. #LaborDay #HarrisWalz2024

Good Lord, who okayed this speech by JD Vance? It is the intersection of bad narrative and bad delivery. I mean, I cannot hope to understand the mind of a MAGA wacko, but I can't see this doing well with independents.
JD Vance is now lamenting the cost of housing, blaming Wall St, & then blames immigrants. Oh now he is onto China - as if Republicans don't shop at Walmart. As a reminder: He was a venture capitalist corporate lawyer married to another lawyer. He is not poor.
JD Vance, with his wife whose parents are immigrants, is railing against immigrants while the audience screams "send them back." It is really.... something.

If you're wondering how to help my beautiful Maui:

The Maui Strong Fund provides community resilience with resources for disaster preparedness, response, recovery. The fund is currently being used to support communities affected by the Maui wildfires.
hawaiicommunityfoundation.org/maui-strong
Other options to help Maui include

- Donations to the Maui Food Bank
- Also Foodland stores are accepting donations to support the American Red Cross of Hawaii’s efforts

Please don't forget the pets!
#MauiWildfires #Maui #mauifire

You can foster a Maui Humane Society animal

The animals at Maui Humane Society are safe but it needs to free up space to take in more displaced pets.

If Trump is convicted of federal crimes, he will have to be incarcerated. The question arises as to how this would be done for a former president with Secret Service detail. I doubt he would be under house arrest at MAL where some federal crimes are alleged to have take place. 🧵
2. The Secret Service has no protocol for a protectee who has been convicted of a crime & imprisoned, so one would need to be developed if such a situation arose. One option? Shift agents in a secure federal facility.

3. According to the wise @JoyceWhiteVance, an appropriate facility that is secure, safe, and meets the Secret Service's needs can be adapted.

Straight up Russian propaganda that benefits the GOP. This man is a useful idiot doing the work of Putin & the fools on the left will fall for it the same way they fell for the Russian asset, Jill Stein.
Imagine running for president & claiming NATO provoked Russia into genocidally attacking a sovereign country. Meanwhile, only tools of Russia propose peace talks since they will involve sacrificing Ukrainian territory.

This man in UNFIT for the presidency.
Every bit of that Cornel West tweet demonstrates an ideologue stuck in the past, who has not caught up with the present reality unfolding in Europe. It demonstrates how wholly unsuited he would be to any political leadership role. He would be as dangerous as Trump.

On this historic day when for the 1st time a former president has been charged with federal crimes, I have thoughts. A brief thread follows. /1
For more than 20 years (yes, that's going to age me, millennials - my favorite dating pool), I have written about the world for a living. /2
I have written about democracy and dictatorships, about democracy and coup d'etats. I have written about war and peace, about power and influence, about good governance and corruption, about legitimacy and authority. /3
