Joe Biden saw Kamala Devi Harris as the fearless joyful warrior she is in the primary and knew he had to have her on the ticket.
Joe sees.
Joe has vision.
Joe can feel.
And this is why he and his pick Kamala won.
Here we are team Akron Cleveland Ohio when Dustin Lance Black came in to our zoom to cheer us on and tell us the story of Joe Biden and marriage equality. What a treasure academy award winner for “MILK” @DLanceBlack is. He did 100’s of these pop ins for vols and staff.
Shout out to figure skater gold medal winner american treasure @MichelleWKwan who worked for Joe and Kamala from the very beginning of the campaign. Lending her charm, beauty, grace and brilliance to cheer on us volunteers and the organizers in our zoom meetings.
Shout out to @mayaharris_ who popped into our phone banking zoom for @SaraGideon knowing we needed a burst of Harris sister energy.
Maya my day on that day and helped me press on making calls in Maine.
Shout out to Ms. Helen Noble of Cleveland Ohio. Ms. Helen was not familiar with zoom, Thur text or working in multiple screens on her computer. Yet she pressed on and honored me by fighting until she go it right and sent her text messages. Ms. Noble is in Fact NOBLE. FIGHTER!
Shout out to every single one of the volunteers I had the honor of training on OPEN VAN VPB and THRU TEXT. You suffered through my “jokes” and found your way to be an effective volunteer and I am so proud of every single one of you. You worked so hard!!!

So my beloved brother and my beloved nephew and I play “RuneScape” together. When we get the text that nephew wants to play we drop everything, no matter how tired, no matter what the day or month was like. And we log on because nephew time is gold.
So last night with everything that happened all week and month and four years and hours we get THE TEXT. And I’m thinking no no tonight nephew. Auntie is played out and had a beer.
But it’s NEPHEW so I answer yes of course I’m in for a quest. We do a short “halloween” one and I got a very special outfit. “Full clown” but with an orange pumpkin head to carry and a bloody knife. Rather Fitting for deposing the orange menace wouldn’t you say?
So I’m a little drunk and I hope this doesn’t come off weird but I just want to thank my black folks that I follow here and who follow me back because you’ve made me a better person, this past four years have taught me so much on how to be a better white person better white ally
Following and being followed by so many committed and strong Black people who are authentic and strong and correct us WP when we fuck up and tell us how to be better is just so amazing to me.
I feel like it’s probably really hard to do that because you think we are your allies and then we fuck up in your face but you press on and you keep teaching us and I just want to say that I love you.
Here are neighbors coming to cheer with me and waving the sign I gave them!!
I got a loud knock on my door and opened it to see this —the kids jumping the dog wandering and my neighbor family causing a riot of joy and thanking me for my work! Lovely people.
My street and our modest houses proves Joe and Kamala spoke to even the WHITE WORKING CLASS.
She went to work the day after her husband died. She went to work with five billion kinds of cancer and chemo and radiation. She went to work with broken ribs. She went to work every day of her life and never rested or retired or stopped or quit. Suit up. mobilize.us/joebiden/event…
mobilize.us/joebiden/event…. Live in a safe blue state? Ohio needs your help right now. Suit up. Get in. Fight.
