I've never been particularly politically engaged. Informed, voting, but not super-engaged. I feel like I've moved much further left just standing still over the past 10 years. My first protest rally. No Kings, St. Paul, MN.

Donald Trump pardoned the “Camp Auschwitz” guy, dined with Holocaust deniers, and said, “any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion.” He doesn’t care about fighting antisemitism. He’s using it as an opportunity to dismantle higher education and further his authoritarian agenda.

I know I’m not a genius Democratic operative who is paid $400k a year to oversee 6 straight swing district losses to used car salesmen but maybe mentioning how the GOP moved heaven and earth to grant asylum to sex trafficker Andrew Tate would undermine their messaging on immigration a bit

"The US Travel Association estimated that a 10% decrease in Canadian travel could result in 14,000 job losses and $2.1 billion in lost spending in 2025" www.businessinsider.com/canadians-de...

Here's another sign Canadians are pulling back on US travel
The 12% decline in Canadians booking Airbnbs and other short-term rentals is consistent with dips in flight bookings and car travel to the US.

“Made in America” American-owned businesses that manufacture here are still getting crushed because packaging and supplies come from China. If their shipment sits at the port, they’re bleeding storage fees they can’t afford. Trump is pricing small businesses out of existence.

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?

According to MAGA, if you hit a car with a baseball bat because you don’t like the company’s owner you’re a “terrorist”, but if you hit a Capitol police officer with a baseball bat because you don’t like the results of an election, you’re a “patriot.” Do I have that just about right?
