When Rep. Ro Khanna started pressing Vice President Kamala Harris to use her procedural power to push a national minimum wage hike a few weeks ago, he found himself targeted by a swarm of online Harris supporters. A Kamala Harris action figure sits on the bookshelf of KHive member DeNiro Jones. KHive members speak in favor of racial and gender equality and LGBTQ inclusion and against what they see as an excessively class-based view held by progressives.

DeNiro Jones, with some of his Kamala Harris gear, said that, through his support of Harris, he found a group who provided him personal support.
