Quoting emptywheel: "These two clips show, I think, that when she has a chance to do that, either what she says or the references she makes or the empathy and leadership she models can be successful in persuading people not just that she’ll put their interests first, but that they’ve been lied to." --- A few more thoughts in a *different* blog post from Emptywheel, regarding the Univision town halls, and Kamala Harris being interviewed by Baier on Fox : https://www.emptywheel.net/2024/10/17/hen-in-the-fox-house-kamala-harris-alludes-to-what-you-and-i-both-know/

Full video of October 10 Kamala Harris Univision town hall Aaron Rupar tweeted some highlights of Kamala Harris' Oct. 10 Univision town hall. This is a copy of his twitter thread, you don't need twitter to see the clips: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1844559423114707461.html I really appreciate her answers about healthcare, Long Covid, etc.

If anyone wants to pass along the above tweet of the side-by-side comparison of the same audience member asking questions at the Trump and Harris Univision town halls .... If you don't use twitter, here's the same on a twitter alternative: ( "xcancel.com" instead of "x.com"). Click, (it might pause to verify you're not a bot), and then it will work: https://xcancel.com/MsMalarkey24/status/1846945642377056462 Or, much more simply, the two clips via youtube, which you can easily share with anyone: The gentleman audience member asking at the Trump Univision town hall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXJWjj0ML7Y And the same audience member at the Harris Univision town hall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS5SfqI1eVc

I didn't even know of the character Paloma's existence until just now when seeing the name mentioned above and looking at a wiki. (I have been an intermittent viewer). Well okay then. That would fit, perhaps Sasha is Holly's niece?

This is just me randomly wildly guessing: What if Holly isn't actually Sasha's biological mother, but Sasha greeted her at the door as "Mother" because ... What if, back in the past before Sasha first came to Port Charles, what if Holly and Sasha had done cons together, with Holly pretending to be Sasha's mother? ? ? That would explain Sasha calling her "Mother" at the door yesterday, as a reference to their con team past?

Well yeah diamonds! Wouldn't Holly have learned that her daughter Sasha was involved with Cody and some diamonds storyline? If Holly had zero maternal care in her heart, she would at least have come back to use her daughter Sasha for getting the diamonds. That would have been something in character for conwoman Holly to do. But it didn't happen. Instead it was Sasha's mother-in-law Gladys using Sasha for profit? 1) Holly didn't reach out with maternal care during all the years that everything horrible was happening to Sasha. 2) Conwoman Holly didn't use her daughter Sasha for profit in the Cody diamond storyline. Holly didn't do either of those two things (that we know of). So how could she be Sasha's biological mother?

Sometimes a tweet summarizes things better than I could ...

I don't think this will be a good storyline... But I guess this must have been what she was tweeting about.

I worded that too politely. Let me try that again. HELL NO !!!! to Robert being Sasha's father. (angry emojis and expletives at the very suggestion)

This is so intense and amazing. I can watch this scene only once in a while because my heart gets torn to shreds.

I hadn't even considered Robert as Sasha's father. I'd just say no to that.

I hadn't paid much attention to either Sasha or Cody, so I don't know their backgrounds. How would they potentially be cousins?

Sinead?! She's now out there cursing him from the afterlife / great beyond -- or she's not wasting a single drop of energy on him

Meanwhile, in Canada: Accessibility for contraception (and for diabetes medication) made easier and free: https://globalnews.ca/news/10807237/canada-pharmacare-plan-what-to-know/ "These agreements will support reproductive freedom by providing up to nine million women and gender diverse people in Canada free access to contraception"

omg that's totally her persona. I laughed so hard reading that! I'd like to see Abby as a real human, but none of the actresses or writers have succeeded at making her feel real.

^ from the preview video -- Phyllis to Lucy: "Wouldn't you like to know about your grandmother? I have a few stories to tell you." -- So I'm wondering, which of Lucy's grandmothers is Phyllis referring to? April Stevens, Sheila Carter, or herself Phyllis? Seeing as this is the week of the Michelle Stafford anniv Phyllis-centric episode, I'm guessing Phyllis will talk about herself. (Phyllis could maybe tell Lucy about a Sheila-Phyllis storyline, but I doubt it)
