Michael Shellenberger on X - "The US Democratic presidential campaign of @KamalaHarris will host a racially segregated struggle session tonight at 8 pm ET for white men to falsely confess to the sins of other people. “We need to be honest with ourselves and each other about the role we’ve played in our nation’s history — good and bad," said White Dudes For Harris in @nypost today. I am responsible for my actions, not all men of my race. The alternative idea — that all white men alive today are responsible for the bad (or good) deeds of white men throughout history — is totally irrational and racist. Notably, no such statement accompanied the @KamalaHarris Zoom calls for other races and sexes. But like the "White Women for Harris" and the "Black Women for Harris," White Dudes For Harris is racist and sexist and anathema to the unifying "I Have A Dream" vision of Martin Luther King, Jr. All sentient people, liberal or conservative, should denounce these awful, unAmerican @KamalaHarris Zoom calls. It appears that Transportation Secretary @PeteButtigieg will join this attack on white men as a class of individuals on the basis of their race and sex. This is degrading and dangerous. Vice President @KamalaHarris must denounce this effort and demand the creator of it, @JotakaEaddy , cancel all race- and sex-based events, including this one. If the call goes forward, I will be on it tonight, request an opportunity to speak, and record it. This is irrational, racist, and toxic. It will go down as a catastrophic error by the @KamalaHarris campaign.
How did @KamalaHarris become the Democratic presidential candidate? Consider the person who is now organizing the race- and sex-segregated Zoom fundraising calls, @JotakaEaddy Eaddy is not just some random person. Eaddy is a top Democratic Party strategist and PR person. She:
a) ran the 2020 effort that got Kamala her job as VP by writing and publicizing the open letter demanding that @JoeBiden pick a black woman;
b) ran the 2024 effort to demand that Biden anoint @KamalaHarris his successor and avoid a competition between candidates.
In both cases, the strategy pursued by @JotakaEaddy was simple: accuse anyone who opposed her of racism and sexism."
Berel Solomon on X - "The same people that are screaming at us to “vote for Kamala because she’s a woman” can’t define what a woman is."
Richard Hanania on X - "It’s taken me a week to fully comprehend the genius of “White Women for Kamala” and “White Dudes for Harris.” One thing right-wingers love is to complain that you can only have affinity groups for blacks and other minorities. Whites sometimes feel like they’re being held to double standards and treated unfairly. Along comes the Kamala campaign and says it’s ok to be white. That is, as long as you’re a good person, which means supporting reproductive freedom, not being “weird,” and voting Democrat. We’re all in this together. It seems “woke” on the surface, but it’s actually a sign that liberals are moving away from woke. In 2020, something like this wouldn’t have even been possible. Talk of “whites” in left-coded spaces only occurred in the context of flogging them for their sins. In 2024, you can be a white dude for Kamala and it’s totally cool. The symbol for “White Dudes for Harris” is a trucker hat, showing self-deprecating humor and membership in a movement that is not at all weird or neurotic about race. White people receive the message that Democrats do not consider you the problem. You’re welcome into the coalition. There’s even a Zoom call you can join, and don’t worry, it won’t be just Robin DiAngelo telling you how much you suck. Kamala has made clear that she’s *only* considering white men for VP, and there couldn’t be a clearer signal that we’re past peak woke. DEI therefore doesn’t always mean anti-white! Now you White Dudes get your own DEI pick, like everyone else. Republicans have been caught flat-footed. Conservatives want to portray these events as a kind of 2020 DEI struggle session, and they can find clips backing up that view, but people who have attended say that there was actually very little of that. What else can conservatives say in response? I’ve seen a little bit of “why can’t we have a whites for Trump thing?” Well, who’s stopping you? It’s a free country. Organize “whites for Trump” and see what happens. Democrats have given you permission. Zoom can’t accuse you of violating the terms of service if you schedule the exact same event just with the parties switched. There will be no “Whites for Trump” event because the campaign would never allow it, understanding it would be a PR nightmare. “Whites for Trump” would draw sewer dwellers, instead of the nice, seemingly normal people that came out for Harris. The Vance pick has only reinforced this message, with the signal that the Trump campaign is standing with the most dysfunctional and least sympathetic whites. Most whites do not feel like they have much in common with overweight Appalachians blaming China for taking their jobs when they’re too lazy and dysfunctional to just move to a region with more opportunity, which every generation of Americans has managed to do since the founding. Vance’s comments that we’ll pay any price as long as one American gets to make toasters communicates how the GOP ticket is running to represent the truly hopeless. All of this contributes to the overall message that Democrats are not the anti-white party. They’re the party of the civilized half of the white race, the ones who believe in science and reject conspiracy theories. The whites who aspire to do something other than make a toaster, complain about immigrants, and investigate the miscarriages of strangers. We can now all see the hopelessness and stupidity of white nationalism, which wants to argue that the 220 million American whites who are at each other’s throats over social issues and values should unite under one umbrella because they share the same interests. The only way white identitarianism would have had any hope is if liberalism stayed in summer of Floyd mode indefinitely, where you push anti-white rhetoric so blatantly and aggressively that it causes a natural reaction. Whites for Kamala completely defuses any hope of building a broad white identitarian coalition. It exposes white nationalism, whether explicit or the implicit kind taking over the right, as at bottom a movement for *maladjusted whites* most of their betters want nothing to do with. The thing about Republicans ruining Thanksgiving dinner hits home, because most whites who have achieved some level of success in life, or at least aspire to do so, have aggressively stupid catturd-type relatives they want to avoid. They define themselves in opposition to such people. This is how the left wins."
Kamala Harris Distances Herself From Kamala Harris | Babylon Bee - "Following Kamala Harris's statement, news outlets were quick to condemn anyone who has ever referred to Kamala Harris as Kamala Harris. "As usual, the Republicans are engaging in a misinformation campaign to tarnish the image of the Vice President," Joe Scarborough said. "We all know Kamala Harris has never been Kamala Harris. Will their lies never cease!?" Wikipedia updated its entry on Kamala Harris to wipe any previous mention of the presidential candidate's name and Politifact rated the statement "Kamala Harris is Kamala Harris" as a ‘Pants On Fire' lie. At publishing time, Kamala Harris also denied ever having been Joe Biden's Vice President or the Attorney General of California, points quickly corroborated by the mainstream media."

— Minnesota declared itself a “refuge” for transgender surgeries and therapies for minors. Gender surgery will now to be publicly funded.

Audie Cornish says Shapiro is "the face of the crackdown of campus protests" and that he labeled them "antisemitic." Tapper says "the ones that were antisemitic he criticized as being antisemitic."

Media: Lizzo Is 'Healthy,' Vance Is 'Weird,' But Walz Is 'Folksy' - "When people in the national media use phrases like “the all-American definition of a man from middle America” and “folksy, personal, informal vibe,” you can be sure you’re about to come face to face with a chilling figure, primitive in appearance and devoid of human empathy. That is Walz, a vehemently left-wing governor who says extraterrestrial things like, “I will not patronize you as a white man without living those lived experiences of how very difficult that is.” Walz is not the “all-American definition” of anything. He’s a primordial creature adapted to live among the rest of modern Democrat Party leadership — the militant transgenders, the antisocial Black Lives Matter hustlers, and the white liberals who made it their life’s mission to strangle the American middle class. He has literally encouraged foreigners attempting to get into the U.S. to break the law and jump the border. He ensured that illegal aliens in his own state can get driving licenses. In a room crammed full of transgender activists last year, Walz signed an order heralding his state as a “trans refuge,” affirming legal protections for doctors who pump up kids with sex hormones and perform elective surgeries on their undeveloped genitals. He’s a freak, but apparently, because he’s white, balding, and has no accent, that makes him “folksy.” (The New York Times on Tuesday also described Walz as “a folksy former football coach.”) The same media that tell us it’s beautiful and brave to be obscenely fat proclaim themselves to be the arbiters of what constitutes all-American “folksy” charm. That’s in contrast to J.D. Vance, who the media have teamed up with Democrats to brand as “weird.” To wit, everybody in Washington expected Kamala Harris to choose Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro as her running mate, but, the Times said, Walz “jumped to the top of Ms. Harris’s list, boosted by cable news appearances in which he declared that Republicans were ‘weird.'” In favor of reducing abortions and banning irreversible sex surgeries for minors? Ew! Weird! Passing out government IDs to illegals while publicly checking your white privilege? All-American! Folksy! It was a weird VP pick. Then again, Kamala Harris is a weird person and now she has a weird running mate."
Why would all the media be saying the same thing at the same time? Obviously they must be reporting reality accurately
