I just want to add that apparently her step kids call her Momala. That’s really cute/sweet.
This was my favorite part of her speech. I love so much how she and Biden both talked with so much love about their families. I’ve missed that.

And makes me so happy to see bc I’m SO deeply offended by the comments I’ve seen from so many progressive women (Warren supporters mostly) that she “isn’t a real mom” and doesn’t understand women because she doesn’t have bio children. And aside from how absolutely shitty that is as a concept, it completely invalidates the very sweet familial relationships she does have, which include children.

That’s some BS. I love the shit out of my dad and he’s become a really wonderful father now that he’s sober, but my stepdad was more of a real dad to me than my own was for a very long time.

@@@@@@ I love Momala. It reminds me of my H’s deceased grandma. She was Areleta, and everyone called her Momeleta. She was a true public servant all her life with various local political offices held and lobbying for safer railroad crossings after her youngest son was killed in a train accident. I’ll take this as a sign from the great beyond 😂
I will also cut any snatch who thinks a woman’s worth, understanding, etc. comes from uterine residents. Assholes. Big stupid idiots.

Today I learned that apparently I don’t understand women, despite having been one for 34 years.
If you don't want to give it clicks, here's my summary: Kamala Harris is NOT WHITE so she may have allegiances to FOREIGN COUNTRIES!
Okay, it's a little more sophisticated than that (but not a lot) and argues that the 14th Amendment does not automatically grant citizenship to anyone born on US soil, so unless Kamala's parents were permanent legal residents of the US she isn't a citizen. Oh, and she may not be eligible for the Senate. *headdesk*
Various outlets reporting the Biden-Harris campaign raised $26 million in the 24 hours after the announcement, and 150k of the contributors were first-time donors to the campaign.
::raises hand:: I am going all in. Writing postcards, call banking, donating. I don’t know about canvassing because COVID but will do everything I can.

This reminds me that my husband received a handwritten postcard to vote. He was very weirded out by it, even after I told him why people did it.

Apparently we target dem voters who haven’t been actively voting. I’ve never done it before but hope to do at least 75-100.
Trump’s senior legal advisor says Harris “sounds like Marge Simpson.”
Which, everything else aside, doesn’t even make sense. The voices don’t sound anything alike, and Marge is one of the only competent people on that show so it’s not quite the insult she’s making it out to be.
I know her point was to just be an asshole, but I don’t even get where she was trying to go with that.
Seriously what else are we going to ask these voters - ESPECIALLY Black voters - to sacrifice? Isn’t it bad enough the way things ended up in this race writ large?
That's the shit I keep coming back to. Black women check in for everyone but who checks in for them? I'm going to step in every damn time someone comes for Kamala because shit, y'all, come.on.
"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”

This is crazy. It does literally say anyone born in the US is a citizen of the US. How can you spin this?
”All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

@@@ My cousin told me that on FB the other day. Thankfully, many women here *gently* corrected her.

How can one spin this?!?
I can’t wrap my head around it. By that kind of eisegesis, one could argue that Ted Cruz is not a citizen and was therefore not eligible to run for president (but they didn’t, because he identifies as white).
Also, per this article from Cornell Law School, “The requirement that a person be “subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” however, excludes its application to children born of diplomatic representatives of a foreign state, children born of alien enemies in hostile occupation, or children of members of Indian tribes subject to tribal laws.” So basing the argument on the meaning of that phrase is completely ridiculous.

Those are like, real people saying this and not bots? If so, turns out there are shitty people of every stripe.
