YouTube video by Reagan Library President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987

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).

This Minnesota county is on the verge of losing its only child care center Officials in the town of Slayton worry about a lack of day care affecting the local workforce and economy. It’s a stark example of a crisis playing out across rural Minnesota.

A lack of child care is the single biggest economic factor holding back rural Minnesota, according to reports from the Center for Rural Policy and Development. Greater Minnesota has half the child care capacity it had in 2000, a 2022 report from the center shows.

From the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office: The Big Beautiful Betrayal triggers $500 billion in cuts to Medicare because it balloons the deficit by trillions. All to fund more tax cuts to billionaires. Americans deserve better.

In 1949, Superman told schoolchildren “our country is made up of Americans of MANY different races, religions and national origins. So…

“…if YOU hear anybody talk against anyone else because of his religion, race or national origin — don’t wait: tell him THAT KIND OF TALK IS UN-AMERICAN.”

We’re seeing a wave of disgusting rhetoric and false claims coming from the far-right about the Minnesota shooting.

As real families grieve the loss of loved ones, rightwing accounts are working overtime to circulate disinformation on social media.

It takes just a minute to submit a comment (and to point out that we should not be in the position of imploring the government to give us access to the vaccines — that in a functioning country, the government would be encouraging *everyone* to get a booster.)
