It’s been 36 days since the Kamala Harris Kamalapalooza began — but where are all the millions of yard signs on people’s lawns? Where are the signs in people’s apartment windows! C’mon everyone — let’s do this! There’s no time to waste!

There are 3 ways to get a yard sign:

Time is running out for Kamala Harris to distance herself from U.S. policies that enable Israel to continue with mass murder and genocide in Gaza. Polling shows that a pivot toward moral decency would improve her chances of defeating Donald Trump. But during her CNN interview Thursday night, Harris remained in lockstep with President Biden’s unconditional arming of Israel.

Friends,

If you are in need of a good laugh and a reminder that there is someone on Comedy Central once a week (usually Monday night at 11pmET) who feels our pain and has been a force for good for nearly 30 years — I hope you’ve been watching the return of Jon Stewart to The Daily Show since February. He is pulling no punches. He is saying what many are afraid to say, and his cast and writers are on fire, just when we need them the most.

What I admire greatly is that he has been almost a lone voice on television in standing up, fearlessly, with his brutal humor and satire, and placing himself squarely on the side of the tens of thousands of civilians who have been slaughtered in Gaza — and the hundreds of thousands more who are facing imminent death by being purposely denied food, water, shelter, and medical care.

Who he is

(https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/07/11/opinion/editorials/donald-trump-2024-unfit.html).
“He lies blatantly and maliciously, embraces racists, abuses women and has a
schoolyard bully’s instinct to target society’s most vulnerable. He has delighted in
coarsening and polarizing the town square with ever more divisive and incendiary
language. Mr. Trump is a man who craves validation and vindication, so much that
he would prefer a hostile leader’s lies to his own intelligence agencies’ truths and
would shake down a vulnerable ally for short-term political advantage. His
handling of everything from routine affairs to major crises was undermined by his
blundering combination of impulsiveness, insecurity and unstudied certainty.
This record shows what can happen to a country led by such a person: America’s
image, credibility and cohesion were relentlessly undermined by Mr. Trump during
his term.
