I can see the devil in that red face and greedy smile. Is it just me or can you see the thing behind the human mask too.

As a Minnesotan, I can say Walz has done all of this for us and so much more! With Walz, what you see is what you get. While it's hard to see him go, I'm willing to share him with everyone (especially as that means we'll have the first female Native American Governor!). 😉

He's also a friend to the trans community. My 11-year-old granddaughter is trans and with so much hatred out there targeted against kids like her, it is so satisfying to see a friend elevated in this way.

Besides, All she has is sexism/racism, which last I heard was not a policy.

Are you here to troll? The negative impact of what ... equality? Civil rights? Being on the right side of history? Are you here to promote your own Substack blog? How crude. That's like me posting my Etsy link here to rack up sales. WTF? Besides, "all she has ..." This is a blog about Tim Walz. It's a HE. I'm voting BLUE.

Walz is very impressive and the candidate we need right now! Good choice.

Thank you! I also favored Gov. Walz without knowing much about him. This is great news and useful to know.

My partner told me that Walz’s child poverty reduction program in Minnesota works so well, that he helped other states enable their own programs too.

Thank you for this, Qasim.

The Harris and Walz team provides Americans with records of experienced, democratic rule of law governance and constitutional civil society institution use.

An important perspective, perhaps largely left out of the current public discussions on supporting the Constitution and constitutional civil society institutions in ways that enable Americans to choose and act to cooperate in furthering everyone's common interests and rule of law protections, is the broad perspective of America as a society of social mobility that extends to all groups.

An important [in my experience vitally important] observer of this is the late Prof. Ronald W Walters, author of important political analysis e.g., White Nationalism, Black Interests: Conservative Public Policy and the Black Community, 2003 Wayne State U Press [currently available in print and at archive.org on line]. An important summary evaluation is from the Wilson Center, "White Nationalism, Black Interests: Conservative Public Policy and the Black Community'' Nov 2003 https://www.wilsoncenter.org/event/white-nationalism-black-interests-conservative-public-policy-and-the-black-community .

The above is very short, but the points made can, today, be seen as essential for understanding the shifts in American politics.

We can inform the character and the reach of the Harris-Walz campaign effort if we are candid in our comments and explicit in our discussion of common interests and outcomes we can advance. We need everyone's comments, and we need to convince the campaigners to engage American citizens in every community. Listening needs to become careful dialogue to learn from and inform the campaign from the substance of our sense of need, opportunity and challenge.

In the Wilson Center summary is the comment "...create more rather than fewer opportunities for ... mobility"; inclusive mobility, socially, economically, politically, ... genuine and basic integrative inclusion.

That last paragraph of Walter’s analysis comment on what he sees as an “attempt by white nationalists to create a new black intellectual cohort that will legitimize conservative points of view in the black community” made me immediately think of Clarence Thomas. Bought & paid for no doubt.

And very expensively I understand!

What is his stance and efforts to end the Palestinian genocide?

Expand full comment

He has called for a ceasefire ans immediate assistance to the people of Gaza, as well as a two-state solution. He also told the Israelis that the growing number of settlements in the West Bank was very problematic and an obstacle to peace.

Expand full comment

Per the New York Times.

"The group Democratic Majority for Israel just put out a statement praising Walz, calling him a “pro-Israel Democrat with a strong record of supporting the U.S.-Israel relationship.” Many Democrats who strongly support Israel had expressed a preference for Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, who had been a more vocal supporter on the war in Gaza."

Sounds like they want to buy him. We really need to get money out of politics.

Okay team! We are locked in. Now tell everyone to get out and vote!

What is his stance on funding a genocide?

Per the New York Times. The Democratic Majority may be bluffing, but it's a clear indication they'll dump money on Tim.

He condemned the actions of Hamas on 10/7 when asked but he visited Gaza and West Bank in 2009 and met with Netanyahu. During their meeting he told Netanyahu that continuing the settlements will never allow peace to happen. He has never said Pro-Zionist things that I have seen but he’s not posting to Free Palestine either. SMH so it’s hard to say unfortunately.

I’m relieved it wasn’t Shapiro. Anyone who has served in the IDF and has called all Palestinians “battle minded” (politically correct way of saying savages) then I don’t want him in the WH or anywhere near it. He tried to use the excuse that it was “when I was 20 years ago.” And he no longer believed it, then why not delete the tweets that he posted. Right. Because he believes that crap still! No thank you.

Walz is the right pick for all the reasons you mentioned and more.

Expand full comment

I absolutely agree! I’m definitely happy with her pick. He’s also very relatable this weekend he posted a video or went live showing ppl how to change a headlight on a Ford. lol Not to mention, his constituents in MN love him. His record while governor is amazing. He’s just what the entire country needs.
