1) Kamala Harris ally: We have to ‘reimagine’ democracy beyond Founders’ ‘little piece of paper’
From Fox News: Human Rights Campaign president Kelley Robinson urged people to “reimagine” freedom and democracy beyond the Founders’ “little piece of paper” at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) last week.
Robinson spoke on the third night of the DNC, but two days before, she was on a panel at the DNC’s LGBTQ+ Kickoff where she was asked how to “dramatically shift and build more power” for the LGBTQ community and other minorities.
“We can’t just worry about protecting democracy. In this moment, we’ve got to reimagine it with people that look and love like us at the center,” Robinson answered.
She continued, “And I think for us right now is about reimagining freedom and this American story in a way that is more revolutionary than what our Founders actually put down on that little piece of paper, but instead is the type of democracy that is by and for all of the people in this country. That’s the opportunity that we have.”
That “little piece of paper” called the Constitution that @HRC_President Kelley Robinson referred to in this racist, Marxist speech is something I have bled for, my friends have died for and is the founding document that ensured slavery would end and opportunity for all people… pic.twitter.com/53TmuVzSMX

2) Democrats sue Georgia election board over changes passed by officials under investigation and possible removal
From Washington Examiner: Democrats sued the Georgia election board over changes passed by officials who are now under investigation. Three allies of former President Donald Trump on the State Election Board proposed new changes to state electoral law, allowing more stringent treatment of ballot counting and electoral certification. The three were hit by an ethics complaint from Fulton County’s former elections board chief, pushing the Democrats to argue that the ethics inquiry should be looked into before the new measures were passed. They also argued that the board members should be removed.
“These novel requirements introduce substantial uncertainty in the postelection process and — if interpreted as their drafters have suggested — invite chaos by establishing new processes at odds with existing statutory duties,” the lawsuit said about the proposed electoral changes.
The lawsuit was filed by the Democratic National Party, Georgia Democratic Party, local officials, and political candidates, with the support of Vice President Kamala Harris’s election campaign.

3) More Americans are thinking about postponing retirement
From Fox Business: A growing number of Americans are considering delaying their retirement plans and working longer than planned as they continue to battle high prices, according to a new survey published by LiveCareer.
More than 8 in 10 respondents said they have thought about postponing their retirement for financial reasons, while another 92% expressed concern that they will have to work longer than planned.
“Our survey reveals that financial stability is a primary concern among participants, with many fearing they won’t be able to afford to retire and keep up with the bare essentials like health care, or that they might become a financial burden to their loved ones,” said Jasmine Escalera, a career expert at LiveCareer.
Retirement elicits fear in many workers, according to the survey.
1/3rd of all seniors are currently working, w/ a majority citing inflation as their reason for postponing retirement.
30% of working seniors have already had to “unretire.”
If people who have worked and saved their entire lives can’t afford the Harris economy, we’re all doomed.… https://t.co/y0rdorJ9aD

5) ‘No Whites Allowed’ Graffiti Appears in Britain’s Multicultural Birmingham
From Breitbart: Police in Birmingham have launched an investigation after three instances of apparently anti-white graffiti appeared in the multicultural British city.
The inner-city Birmingham neighbourhood of Alum Rock saw graffiti reading “no whites” and “no whites allowed” appear over the past week, the Daily Telegraph broadsheet reported.
The paper obtained CCTV footage appearing to show a man in a hoodie sweatshirt scrawling the message “no whites” on a wall outside of a primary school in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Two other locations were marked with a similar message, however, there is currently no indication that the same man was responsible.
Racist graffiti in Birmingham reading “No whites” and “No whites allowed” is being investigated by the police.
The graffiti appeared in three locations across the predominantly Asian Alum Rock neighbourhood.
