wedistribute.org
The Mastodon For Harris campaign has raised close to $500,000 within two weeks of being live. It is probably the largest attempt for political organizing on the Fediverse, and may provide a playbook for other efforts going forward.

I’m not American, What’s with the coconut?
It was a blend of a bit of quirky humor followed by a more profound message that Kamala Harris attributes to her mother: "You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you."
incidentally, kamala's dad and mom are Jamaican and Indian respectively and the coconut is reminiscent of her background
It's a reference to an anecdote that Harris apparently uses frequently.
That's all I know, never cared enough to learn a politicians' lore.
