LOWER CAPE INDIVISIBLE

"Our journey for equality began over a century ago, with the suffragists demanding the right to vote, and continues today with Kamala Harris on the path to shattering the highest glass ceiling.

Set to Laura Bell Bundy's (Tony Nominated Broadway actress & Billboard Top 5 recording artist) powerful anthem "American Girl," we honor the trailblazers and pioneers who have shaped our nation-from Supreme Court Justices, to survivors who have spoken out, even as our hard-won rights to our own bodies have been taken away from us."

For context: it is important to emphasize that, however glorious the triumph of the women's suffrage movement, it is not secure if MAGA/Trump win. The second link (msnbc article by Ja'han Jones, entitled "Republicans are worried about women voters. Evidence suggests they should be") is evidence of the MAGA attack on women's right to vote, and generally to have rights independent of men.

"Florida has become the state where elements of a future second Trump presidency America already comes into view." There's a pro-choice ballot amendment on the ballot next month. It must get 60% to pass - a very high bar in a very red state. " [So] the state is quite literally threatening jail time for the employees of stations that agree to run [an ad] for the pro-choice amendment. You heard that right... actual criminal charges."

Here's what Bernie Moreno, Sherrod Brown's opponent, said:

"[A]lot of suburban women that are like, 'Listen, abortion is it. If I can't have an abortion in this country whenever I want, I will vote for anybody else.'... Ok. It's a little crazy, by the way, but - especially for women that are, like, past 50 - I'm thinking to myself, 'I don't think that's an issue for you.'" Desi Lydic of The Daily Show has something to say about this.

Oprah asked Harris, "What is in your heart to say to the American people as we head into November 5, especially people who are undecided?" Harris gave a positive, affirming view of America's future, framing her answer in terms of what we are fighting for, not what we are fighting against. If you only watch one clip, this should be the one.

As Josh Marshall explains, "from the very first exchange [Harris] maintained the initiative, kept Trump on the defensive the entire time and simply dominated him. I don't see any way to contest that basic verdict.... She set a tone at the very start when she walked right into his space to shake his hand and made him almost pull back into himself in response. She was in charge and never stopped being in charge."

A few minutes after the end of the debate, Taylor Swift announced to her 284 million followers on Instagram, "I'm voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader, and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman's right to her own body for decades...." Swift signed off on the post by calling herself a "childless cat lady."

Marshall cautions that the debate may have a minimal impact. "She came, she saw, she conquered. But tomorrow is another day. And there's still two hard fought months to go."
