So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

This man was detained by ICE while attending a doctor’s appointment in Ontario, CA.

We tell immigrants to know their rights and to ask officers for ID. He did it to no avail.

Masked men with no credible ID are kidnapping people in this country.

Shame on this criminal administration.

Hakeem Jeffries is on
floor exposing all the horrid things in trumps bill and all the humane alternatives the gop voted down.
He's been talking since 4:30 am and can continue unlimited.

Keep it up, Mr. Jeffries. Don't stop.

Lost in the reel to real.
Real life leaves you out of sorts
confused by reality
choose to ignore it

Lost in a phony world you inhabit,
so fearful of emotions
you only pretend to feel.

Fragments of other’s dreams
you conveniently steal,
devoid of anything you can call your own.
