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.”

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.

That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.

So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

So arrogant enough to publicly post threats against protestors?
Nothing to see here…just a few men from St Joseph, Missouri publicly threatening to run over peaceful protestors.

No, I didn’t redact their names.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 
3) Donors make a huge profit. 
4) Repeat.

For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979. 

Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth. 

Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

When I learned the minority leader of the House and Senate both represent Brooklyn, I know why the Democratic Party has trouble connecting with people in middle America. Get out of DC, the East Coast, and West Coast and learn how people “in the Middle” live and what is important to us.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy were never elected to Congress and should have ZERO say in any talks about keeping the government open.

There are roughly 330M people in this country, and I realized this morning that for less than the cost of a cheap cup of coffee a day, a S. African billionaire was able to buy the Presidency, and in effect — the country. It’s both embarrassing and sad that, not only was it easy, but it was so cheap…
