Why Kamala Harris Won't Be Asked About the Suicide of a Newspaperman She Persecuted When it comes to conflicts with people engaged in unpopular or disfavored speech, too many journalists side with the feds. https://reason.com/2023/08/09/why-k...he-suicide-of-a-newspaper-man-she-persecuted/
That didn't seem to be supported by the article. The article talked a lot about the journalism involved and provided little evidence of persecution. What in the article did you think pointed to a targeted persecution?
the opening graph: The sitting vice president, shortly before moving to Washington, D.C., successfully scapegoated through heavily publicized if legally unsuccessful pimping prosecutions a career newspaperman who last week shot himself to death at age 74 rather than sit through yet another prostitution-facilitation trial that he insisted to his dying days was an attack on free speech.
Yes, that restates the claim without providing actual proof or examples of the persecution. I would like to know more before making the judgment.
I would say the attacks on her are rather unique like she's a bimbo who slept her way to her position, a claim only dudes can make of women in high power but you don't hear those claims the other way around so yes it's rather unique.
Great couple of months for Harris. Dumb DeSantis is basically serving up softballs to Kamala by saying slavery wasn't that bad. Good to see her taking care of business.

Give credit where credit is due. Since the Supreme Court decision repealing abortion rights, Harris Emerges as the Voice of Abortion Rights in the Biden Administration VP Harris serves as top White House messenger in abortion fight amid renewed fight over access Kamala Harris’s 2024 Role Crystallizes Around Abortion Rights Her hard work has led to these developments, https://www.forbes.com/sites/alison...supreme-court-overturned-roe/?sh=1e513c1526ad, post the SC decision 2022 Special Elections: Abortion first emerged as a galvanizing issue for voters in Kansas’ August 2022 election, where voters in the right-leaning state shot down a ballot measure that would have paved the way for abortion to be banned in the state with 59.1% of the vote. Abortion was also viewed as a defining issue in a New York special election in August 2022, where Democrat Pat Ryan eked out a narrow win in his congressional race after campaigning on his support for abortion rights. 2022 Midterms: Voters in California, Kentucky, Michigan, Montana and Vermont all voted in favor of abortion rights on ballot measures in the 2022 midterms (with no states voting against the procedure)—California, Michigan and Vermont’s measures explicitly preserved abortion access, while Kentucky voters rejected a constitutional amendment saying the constitution does not protect abortion rights, and Montana voters rejected a narrow proposal giving rights to fetuses who are “born alive” after failed abortions. Abortion was also viewed as a defining issue in a New York special election in August 2022, where Democrat Pat Ryan eked out a narrow win in his congressional race after campaigning on his support for abortion rights. Democrats won key gubernatorial races in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, ensuring they could veto any abortion bans passed by their states’ GOP-controlled legislatures. Republicans also failed to get legislative supermajorities in North Carolina and Wisconsin that would have allowed them to override governors’ vetoes and ban abortion—at least temporarily, as North Carolina Republicans later ended up getting a supermajority and banning abortion after 12 weeks anyway, after state Rep. Tricia Cotham switched her party affiliation from Democrat to Republican despite campaigning on abortion rights. 2023 Elections: The most direct win for abortion rights on Tuesday was in Ohio, where voters passed a ballot measure that explicitly protected reproductive rights, ensuring abortion’s legality in the state as its Supreme Court weighed reinstating a six-week ban. Democrats in Virginia also took control of both legislative chambers after Republicans campaigned on enacting a 15-week abortion ban—attempting to paint the proposal as a less-extreme “limit,” rather than a ban. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) won reelection against Republican Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who previously took his fight to defend the state’s abortion ban to the Supreme Court, after Beshear campaigned on abortion and blasted the lack of exceptions in the state’s abortion ban.
