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).

We live in the upside-down. How is it possible that I agree with almost everything this human said? Income inequality sucks.

While the circus grabs headlines, Senate Republicans are scheming to spike student loan bills by nearly $3,000 a year—forcing more people into default.
All to bankroll billionaire tax breaks. It’s cruel, calculated, and happening right now. #DontKillOurMedicaid

DOGE Oversight Subcommittee held a hearing on reducing federal property. All they said was “fire sale” this, “fire sale” that. Meanwhile, they’re lighting all of this s**t on fire — while their incompetent leader wastes millions of taxpayer dollars golfing, all while steering us towards a recession.

Some scary shit...when I was studying in China in 2001, I saw a Chinese man snatched off the street in Shanghai and thrown into a van. People didn't even look - they just quickly walked away. This will never be okay - we need to fervently protect due process for every human being in America.
Imagine this: On the evening of March 8, you and your spouse unlock the door to your apartment building. As you step inside, two men—not in uniform—push their way in behind you. They tell you your visa has been revoked and that they are there to deport you.
