I make this point frequently just cuz I love to piss off RWCFLs (rightwingchristofascistlunatics) and you'd be surprised how few of them are aware their beloved icon was actually Pro "open borders" 🤣

Notice how Reagan—who was INDISPUTABLY already suffering cognitive decline from Alzheimer's by 1987—is still capable of reading with inflection and nuance, and without straying off-script to rant about how Tip O'Neill should be lynched.

Because he was nowhere near as far along as Trump is.

Trump’s tearing down the East Wing to build himself a $350M ballroom while Americans struggle to afford health care.

Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US.

And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.

Ignoring (for now) the absurdity of granting Corporations 'personhood' rights.... Allowing dark $ into politics has erased any sense of 'the voice of the people' from our representative system of democracy.

Since CU our civil rights have been demolished - a feature NOT a bug - it's (past) Time

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

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).

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

When Tish James walks into a courthouse tomorrow — the target of a political prosecution demanded by a President obsessed with revenge — she does not walk in alone.

New York has her back.

Grateful to Governor Hochul for bringing us together tonight.

There is Zero point in prevarication

Could it (will it) get worse? Absolutely

Did ANY fascist state Begin w/the worst of atrocities? Of course not!

It takes a minute to acculturate a society to the fear/self-preservational state that ignores truly heinous acts

we're just *most* of the way there

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military.

The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history.

Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

New York Times: Scott Perry Says Democrats ‘Hate the Military,’ Echoing Trump’s attacks.

The remarks by the Republican House member from Pennsylvania align with efforts by the president and G.O.P. leaders to portray the political left as un-American.
