What caused the Great Depression?

Most people would say the stock market crash of 1929. That was probably the No. 1 factor, but the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 made it worse. The act raised tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods by almost 60%. /1

Thank you so much for spreading this truth. In order to be a the great country we aspire is to be, America must acknowledge its troubled past and learn from its mistakes and misdeeds. Anything else is nothing short of cowardice and deserves no recognition as a serious nation.

ICE has been targeting young kids for months, separating families and instilling fear.

Tell Congress to pass legislation ensuring no child is arrested without a warrant and coerced to give up their rights by immigration agents.
ICE: Stop Terrorizing Children
ICE is traumatizing children as young as 14 – trying to strip them of their rights while they're without attorneys or family to help them. Take action against these horrific abuses now.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Today in history, 1898: After voters elect a biracial city council in Wilmington, N.C., a mob of white supremacists overthrows the local government in a coup d’état. The mob also killed as many as 300 black residents in what is known as the Wilmington Massacre. /1

🚨 The shutdown isn’t over. The Senate vote was a procedural step, not a deal. Nothing is reopening. Nothing is fixed. Eight Democrats helped move an old GOP bill while families go unpaid and SNAP stays frozen.

Focus might be on 8 Senate Dems, but do not forget that Hakeem Jeffries held the House, all 212 House Democrats!
The very House that will have to *open* to pass the CR and simultaneously sign the Epstein files into existence.

Good morning. ☕️✨
Just pointing out that Hakeem Jeffries got TWO HUNDRED AND TWELVE House Democrats to hold the line.

Not one House Democrat cracked.

Not one House Democrat caved.

I’m going to remember that.

My Senator, #JonOssoff, is up for reelection in ‘26. His seat is considered the most vulnerable. He just voted “No” on the CR bill, perhaps risking his political future.

The kind of courage and selflessness we’d need more of in the Democratic Party.
