I was at a concert last night, and thus did not watch the presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. It is of course impossible to escape hearing the highlights, or in Trump’s case, lowlights. From false claims about refugees eating pets (they’re not) to lies about post-birth “abortions” (that’s called “murder”, and it’s illegal), both Trump’s mendacity and his derangement were apparently on full display.

Donald Trump is completely and utterly unfit for office, a fact which has been demonstrated time and again for years, in ways big and small. Today, it can perhaps be most succinctly summarized by his claim that he has “concepts of a plan” to replace the Affordable Care Act. That‘s an inexcusable “the dog ate my homework” answer from someone who already was president, and is attempting to be again. We can do better. We must do better.

Immediately following the debate, Taylor Swift stepped up in an effort to ensure that we will do better. Swift endorsed Kamala Harris in a post on Instagram. Her endorsement includes this:

I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for [Harris] 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 [Tim Walz], who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.
