LOVE THIS RANT JENN! Your "Fucking fucks" was basically the same as my reaction to Kid Rock's appearance at the RNC..."Fucking Kid Rock... FUCK YOU!"

I know! FUCKING KID ROCK. I want all these people to go back into their sad criminal holes.

Kid Rock is the FUCKING WORRRRST! He's also a trophy hunter, the worst kind of cunt on the planet, killing bobcats and mountain lions and posing with their tortured corpses. He's a meth-head white trash psycho. FUCK kid rock!

I am so there with you! To finally have a glimpse of hope like this - I didn't expect it.

I didn’t expect it either… I’m surfing on that high and better be riding it until after the election

Fuck yes!!! What you said. Let's goddamn go! And for those that aren't sure about Kamala, let's convince them to hold their noses, if necessary, and vote for democracy. The alternative is unthinkable.

I would love a murmur of mothers just low key chanting "fucking fucks” at team gilead everywhere. May they never get a moments peace.

And yes, all in! Donated yesterday and have hope we can finally move forward as a country.

I donated too, and I have NEVER donated to a politician. I'm a starving artist and I'll donate again. I want this so badly. TEAM KAMALA! I understood the assignment!

Sister from Canada here, and the vision of an army of women murmuring “fucking fucks” made me laugh SO HARD. We can’t vote, but we are with you.

Seconding every single word you wrote. I have some very smart close friends who immediately went into the rote "she's unelectable" and "this country will not vote for a Black woman" responses. Sure, they may ultimately be right, but the, what, $100 million in grassroots donations that poured in over the last 24 hours seem to be very telling. And it's stupid to overlook how much will be poured into organizing and GOTV. Plus, a lot of people hate that rapist felon at the top of the Republican ticket and are turned off by his faux hillbilly running mate. So let's just TRY and see.

I listened to Everything Is Fine this morning when everything clearly was not fine with you as the conversation started. And before it was over you had laughed and moved through a thing or three.

For a few minutes the hell of the reno/move and (waves hands around) was forgotten. It was the best reminder that a conversation in which you are allowed to GO OFF without contradiction can be healing, or at least a temporary balm for what hurts. H/T @KimFrance.

Like your brilliant Ambition Monster (sending out another copy today) this podcast could help people face their reality. You two model the tricky journey.

As someone following the US election from across the pond with equal dread and worry I can tell you that my entire Danish family rejoiced when we saw that Biden was stepping down and pointing at Harris. We might be far away geographically but we are right there with you in spirit shouting: Fuck these FUCKING FUCKS!

Thank you, Sara. I want to apologize to the entire world for the monstrosity that is Donald Trump. It's a horror that no country should have to endure.

Right on sister. Fully in. I just read it out loud to my Marco Polo sistas, one of whom is the hospital after breast reconstruction of the original reconstruction surgery produced infection complications. Lots of thumbs up. I'm so ready for that fucker and his fuckery to be rear-viewed.

Together, we will fight and together, we will win. ❤️

I am so fucking psyched for this, am incredibly thankful that Biden dropped out when he did, even if a year or so late for some of us, and am ready to fight in Wisconsin! Harris has already done more as the (presumptive still, but let’s call it) nominee by visiting Wisconsin TODAY - Hillary never did, and it seriously may have cost her the presidency.

Oh Jenn, you light up my life. Thank you for always ranting in the best possible way and saying what we all want to say so damn well.

Yes! 100%! LFG!!!! I was feeling so demoralized and uninspired and now I feel some real hope and can't wait to get out there and do my thing to encourage and protect American voters!! As a former prosecutor myself, I'm a big Kamala fan here. And for all those haters out there (I know they're not reading this Substack, but still), do your research. There's a 6 part short podcast series on Kamala put out by the SF Chronicle that is a good start.
