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

It's hilarious that the same people who claim that their families never owned slaves and their family came here as immigrants get upset when someone posts the truth about America's racist & violent past.

Why do they agree to erase history they had nothing to do with? 🤔

Americans are struggling with
a government shutdown
high prices
layoffs
a chaotic administration

and Trump is planning to build a triumphal arch and just bailed out Argentina with $20 BILLION DOLLARS.

This is a HUGE story. Why isn’t media reporting on it? FFS

Shortly after Sinaloa Drug Cartel heads entered plea deals in July/August, forfeited $80M, had family placed in protective custody…Trump bombs 1st of several boats in Caribbean. No confirmation who was killed, if drugs were onboard. Is Trump’s “intel” coming from convicted Sinaloa Cartel members?

Everytime I watch MSM, It's like watching a hostage video.

Am I the only one seeing this?

With the exception of @maddow & @Lawrence and other @MSNBC pundits, every other news outlet is afraid to call out Trump's BS.

Pope Leo says Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions.

"Someone who says I'm against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty...or agrees with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the US,
is not really pro-life."

Pope Leo XIV says 'inhuman treatment of immigrants' in the U.S. isn't 'pro-life'

Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying that Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting that the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."

Heads-up. Share this everywhere. ICE has created a fake "Stop Ice" app. They're trying to ensnare people to enter their information, so they can go after them.
Do NOT use stopice./org.
