Empathy

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

#Foxnews

Stop calling them “tariffs”. Call them “import taxes”. The idiots will understand better

#SpeakerJohnson is anti family

Rather than attended the dignified transfer of the remains of four U.S. soldiers killed on his watch, Trump will be dining with his Saudi golf buddies.

Awww poor baby

The only thing that “liberation day” did for me was liberate me from being able to afford goods and services, afford my needed medications and the ability to be able to support myself in my well earned retirement #liberationDay

The stock market is collapsing, and that means the retirement savings of everyday Americans are disappearing by the hour. This is all because of Trump's reckless mismanagement of the economy. Now, these tariffs that are being imposed will raise the cost of goods for everyday Americans.

So he tanks the markets (ALL of our 401k’s) and U.S. economy AND takes away Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security… he really wants older and retired Americans living on the streets and dying! WTAF 🤬

#Tariffs

Russia isn't on Trump's tariff list. Russia isn't on Trump's tariff list. Russia isn't on Trump's tariff list. Russia isn't on Trump's tariff list. Russia isn't on Trump's tariff list. Russia isn't on Trump's tariff list.

For the second time in the last 24 hours, Trump suggests that he thinks he will be putting tariffs directly on fentanyl smuggled into the United States illegally.

Since the Reagan Campaign secretly negotiated with the terrorists who held American Embassy workers hostage to NOT release them until after the election with Jimmy Carter (the very definition of domestic terrorism & treason) the #GOP has shown there is no depth to which they will not sink for power.

We - the taxpayers of the U.S. - are funding huge tax breaks for the richest Americans 🤬

Cory Booker just gave proof through the night, that our flag was still there. 🇺🇸 Great. Job. Cory. 😎✨

Save #PBS & #NPR

Bless Cory Booker for staying up all night to speak out against these evil morons. This is the kind of fight that we are all looking for.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Watch the fire on the congressional floor by this outstanding Democrat - something we have ALL been begging for! Thank you Rep.Stansbury

@schumer.senate.gov Your “pure conviction” is not why you were voted into office. Your votes should be about US; not YOU! You are there to represent (me) your constituents and do what’s best for the country!! #schumer #stepDown

PROTECT OUR KIDS

#immigrants pay taxes #Millionaires do not

There is no question who SHOULD be in charge!

About our kids embracing toxic masculinity - everyone should see this

The fools and fascists occupying the white house and congress have no idea the fire they're playing with. #fElon and trump think they're ridding themselves of the "parasite class" as musk says. They will only create _millions of revolutionaries_ in months. #socialsecurity

On this day in 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson told Gov. Wallace he would federalize the National Guard to protect Selma marchers. Alabama refused to defend justice, so the White House stepped in. A defining moment where federal power was used to uphold civil rights. #Selma

I am working out of a public library and there are a good number of people who seem to be on hard times using the facilities for various reasons like job searching, entertainment, charging peripherals, using the bathroom, etc., and I am struck by how important it is that libraries continue to exist

STRESS KILLS. 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, struggling every day to keep their families going.   The result: working class people die 7 years earlier than the rich. We need an economy that works for all, not just the few.
