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.”

The @meidastouch.com / @meidascanada.ca townhall is coming to Peterborough. It is a sold out event.
Music, organizing and resisting the gangsters. Looking forward to being back in Peterborough.

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

Anyone have any heartwarming stories of how tax breaks and government subsidies for billionaires made your life better?

We just crossed a bright red line. The President is delusional and his cabinet is dangerous.

TIME MAG - “The 69-year-old judge had received death threats in the weeks leading up to the fire…” (Stephen miller in particular has been lashing out at judges)

I strongly object to the comparison many are making these days between Stephen Miller and Joseph Goebbels.

I think it's deeply misguided, and unfair, to compare them.

Goebbels was a far better propagandist, and didn't execute much policy.

Miller far more closely resembles Heinrich Himmler.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this.

You're welcome

This gets to something that as a former stand-up I recognized but couldn’t name. A 31 year old professional content creator baiting 19 year old amateurs into the format of his choice isn’t debate, it’s crowd work. It’s debate-shaped crowd work farmed for content.
One thing that I think some not-youngs forget (and is different from 20 years ago) is that Kirk used his ‘debates’ to generate video that could go viral and, to use an old phrase, catapult the propaganda. His debates weren’t in any way, shape, or form educational.
When Charlie Kirk, who put together lists of professors he didn't like so people could target & harass them, used the phrase "free speech", he used it in the same way creationists use "teach the controversy." For Kirk, it was just another way to bludgeon the left and also to promote his propaganda.
The Horror
Stephen Miller has become America’s — if not the world’s — most powerful unelected bureaucrat.

With Trump’s blessing, Miller has been allowed to run and remake the country in a manner unheard of for an official of his rank.

In a Hitleresque speech, JD Vance says there can be no unity with the left and vows to use the government to dismantle non-profit NGOs and liberal civil society who he says promote violence and terrorism.

The thing is, as much as they want to immortalize Charlie Kirk to justify and escalate their platform of hate, they’ll forget about him in a month and move onto something else.

Hate is a fire.

It has no memory.

It doesn’t need a reason.

It just needs to burn.
Precisely. He did not die for his beliefs. It seems he may have died for his persistent proselytizing of others to adopt his beliefs.

Anyone who thinks that Trump is going to sign a deal with Canada or make nice needs to wake up.
If he is willing to treat his own people with such reckless violence he won't hesitate to go after us.
Stay strong. Stay focused. Keep the boycott strong.
