Rihanna said A$AP Rocky told her to come to the front row and get Mariah Carey’s autograph 😂. Mariah even wanted her shades: M: “Who has the shades? Can I buy them?” R: “Yeah, you can have them. For free!”

Today, I am calling on Justin Trudeau to resign. Liberals are fighting themselves - when Canadians need a Prime Minister who will fight for them.

I said it before and I’ll say it again, if you were ever a Black theatre kid or major—a Black Elphaba singing defying gravity hits wayyyyy harder. If you know you know.

Iraq is legalizing child marriage and lowering the age of consent to just 9. Iraqi women’s rights activist risks her life and confronts an iman who sponsored the bill. “You’re following Muhamad who married 9-year-old Aisha 1400 years ago. That is not normal in today’s world!”

There is so much at stake in this election, and, ultimately, the question before us is: What kind of country do we want to live in? The beauty of a democracy, as long as we can hold on to it, is that each of us has the power to answer that question. go.kamalaharris.com
