Subject: Kamala Harris Breaks Her Own Rally Crowd Record in 24 Hours |

In contrast to Trump's audience leaving..
Vice President Kamala Harris has reportedly smashed her own rally crowd size record for the second time in just 24 hours.
Harris headlined a jam-packed event, attended by around 23,000 people in Clarkston, Georgia, on Thursday night, beating out her campaign's previous attendance record of about 17,000 in Greensboro, North Carolina, last month.
The vice president's record was broken again on Friday night at a star- studded rally at Shell Energy Stadium in Houston. Celebrities in attendance included megastar Beyoncé, whose song "Freedom" has been heavily used by the Harris campaign.
The Harris team said around 30,000 supporters filled the Texas rally, according to multiple reports. Over 1.5 million reportedly registered to attend the rally. The venue has a seating capacity of just over 22,000, although it typically hosts outdoor sporting events and many Harris supporters were standing on the field Friday.
Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung argued in a post to X, formerly Twitter, that the event was really "a Beyonce concert," suggesting that any media coverage of the large crowd would amount to an attempt to "gaslight" those who believe Harris "could never" draw a large crowd.
Despite preemptive assertions from the Trump campaign, Beyoncé did not perform at the Harris rally on Friday. Instead, the singer delivered a short speech to make the case for Harris before introducing the vice president.
"I'm not here as a celebrity," Beyoncé said. "I'm not here as a politician, I'm here as a mother. A mother who cares deeply about the world our children live in, a world where we have the freedom to control our bodies [and] a world where we are not divided."
Shortly after Harris arrived on stage, a group of Trump supporters attempted to disrupt the event by heckling the Democratic candidate, prompting her to mock their effort and suggest that they were at the wrong rally.
"You know what? Just send them to that small rally down the street, it'll be fine," said Harris. "Some people don't have a great sense of direction. But that's OK, we'll show them the way."
Trump, who frequently touts his rally crowd sizes and has claimed without evidence that Harris uses artificial intelligence to boost her crowd numbers, was also in Texas on Friday. He reportedly spoke to a far more modest crowd of around 100 supporters in Austin before recording a podcast interview with Joe Rogan.
Due to the podcast recording, the former president's arrival for a rally at a small airport in Traverse City, Michigan, was significantly delayed on Friday night, causing some Trump supporters to leave the event before he took the stage.
While sharing a video to X, formerly Twitter, NBC News reporter Megan Lebowitz wrote that a "steady stream of people" left Trump's rally by around 45 minutes after he was originally scheduled to speak.

...and I have no doubt this will keep happening, as people flock to the only voice of reason and sanity running...lol...as well as rising together within the *sheer power of true unity*...something the GOP wouldn't recognize for what it is, nor know what in the world to do with it, even if it ran straight into it... ;)

It’s amazing to me that those that cling to polls can’t appreciate the entire aggregate of the moment.. from here it looks like Kamala is going to wipe the floor with his sorry ass.. and yet those who hope to avoid being accountable for their lives cling to the hope he will win and excuse their transgressions..
It’s all transactional with Trumps adoring fans.. they’re in it for their own selfish reasons.. they yearn for permission to be vile.. and wow to them that have to deal with their own bs as they crumble into insignificance. Imagine the horror of those that indulge their basest urges only to learn Trump won’t save them. What a waste of life.

For some reason in this moment I'm remembering our dear Dan, who passed last year... Amongst a few others he mentioned sharing my love for that scene in the movie Dune, where the Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother is testing Paul Atreides' *humanity* by simulating burning pain in his hand, inside *a box*... She tells him it's an illusion, pain by energetic nerve induction, that his hand isn't actually burning...and the test is whether he can believe *the bigger picture truth of things* she is giving him (the capacity to be fully Human), or whether the pain will compel his primal instincts (his lower/younger "animal" energies) to pull his hand out and away from the pain, pronouncing the pain to be the most Real thing, to him... Of course he succeeds in standing down his younger/primal-instinct compulsion, withdraws his hand from the box when given permission and finds it just as it was before the test...
For me this current timeframe in our National history follows this metaphor in many ways... As a nation and as human beings our "hands are in the box" within a test of *OUR humanity,* whether or not we will fall victim to the lowest/youngest largely-unconscious pulls on our thoughts and behavior...which Donald Trump and the GOP have drawn literally out of the woodwork, enthusiastically normalizing the absolute worst, tail-swagging juvenile and *uncivil* ways of dealing with EVERYTHING in life, in governing, and with one another...
It's almost as if Donald Trump winning the presidency is, yes, just as you said -- an attempt by the collective youngest, most out-of-control and juvenile angles of manipulation and deflection (especially within so many men!) to *validate once and for all that yes, we're calling all this "political correctness" bullshit for what it is! Might Makes Right! And Donald Trump, the KING of Enforced Fascist Might, will WIN AND PROVE THAT TO BE TRUE!!!
Then that will serve as their crowning-glory *entitled permission* to act like total assholes the rest of their lives... ;)
Poor sweeties... It's going to be rough on them, and we're certainly going to get the business end of their highly reactive disappreciation, for awhile, that slowly but surely they're going to have to backpedal all that childlike asshole behavior...once Kamala wins and their Baby King hasn't won, to officially crown and validate the very least and lowest of human behavior as their perfect counsel...
Human soulgrowth is the utterly unique and complex path it is for each of us, eh? lol This here's a biiiig fork in that shared, collective road...perhaps the biggest one yet...! ;)
