A shorthand guide I had made as of 8/27/24 to talk about VP Harris policies since becoming nominee as there were more articles than usual bemoaning a lack of interviews ahead of the Bash 1 in this thread. These are *SOME* she had put out either in speeches, pooled press events, or other releases:
Things happening about this time last yr re the Harris campaign (8/27/24):
Yet another Kamala Harris ad was released talking about her housing plan & pointing out that more than 100 million Americans would get a tax cut under her economic plan. x.com/adimpact_pol...

"Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system … is a dangerous, authoritarian tactic.

The only lawless behavior I see in this video is ICE harassing and threatening people for no good reason.
ICE authority is limited by federal law. They exist for immigration enforcement only. They do not have general police powers. (8 U.S.C. § 1357)

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

We’ve known where this was going since 2016. I don’t understand why everyone is so surprised now. The really disgusting part is that there was such an easy way to avoid all of this.
Trump praised Hitler, has operated concentration camps, is engaged in ethnic cleansing of America, is using troops against innocent citizens, is invading U.S. states, is committing mass murders and acts of war and is overthrowing foreign countries. We know where this is going.

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely.
That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities
This is exactly the opposite.
Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

Today, it’s not your vote that determines whether the government brutalizes you or sends officers to your door. It’s your neighbors’ vote.
If you’re ok with this happening to Minnesotans, don’t get comfortable. You won’t be exempt for long.
In the end, a lawless administration comes for everyone.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

I can only speak for myself, but I’ve heard almost NO ONE who chose to not vote for Harris actually admit that they should have.
If they can’t at a bare minimum admit that, why should I listen to them about ANYTHING else?
It was the easiest & most obvious thing to do and they failed to do it.
