She spent yesterday on the telephone for most of the day. I read that yesterday that she called the party leaders in all 50 states. That would take me three days.

She's renamed her YouTube channel, that's the where to go for video: https://www.youtube.com/@kamalaharris

This is her video on her channel from two hours ago:



To play it, start it, and then move it up to 5:47. This was one of those live videos which don't start at zero.

I've named this thread General Election 2024 Harris vs Trump

Trump needs an introduction post as well, a MAGA suporter ought to write it: @Farb, @SaintForLife , @Others, calling for someone to please introduce your GOP candidate for this 2024 general election thread.

Europeans aren’t as homogeneous as you might think

Take my own family, for example. On my father’s side, my great-grandmother was Romani, while his paternal line traces back to old Danish nobility—including a Danish admiral from the 15th century.

On my mother’s side, her great-grandmother was a Polish immigrant who worked as a farm laborer.

My husband’s family tree is equally diverse. One of his ancestors was a French lieutenant in Napoleon’s army, stationed at a castle in western Denmark—until the soldiers accidentally burned it down during a freezing winter by being a bit too reckless with the heating (oops ).

His maternal grandfather was a German refugee who fled Germany in 1934. When the Germans later occupied the country he had escaped to, he was arrested and deported to Russia. He ultimately died at Stalingrad.

And more recently, half of my husband’s family is Swedish—which makes sense, considering we live in a town right on the border.
