Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

To say this is a problem is a gigantic understatement. We live in the golden age of AI slop. Hopefully we will soon gain the right control the algorithms that control our online life in order to filter out AI slop to a large degree.

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.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

Here is the transcript of the speech President Reagan delivered on April 25th, 1987, on “free and fair trade”:

Breaking: The Supreme Court is now officially considering taking up a case overturning same-sex marriage. This is the first time in history the court has considered rolling back this right.

When political risk types say we're in unprecedented times, they're right. 2025 combines high geopolitical risk (90th percentile) and off-the-charts trade policy uncertainty. We haven't seen anything like this in my lifetime. Look at how 2025 blows up the x-axis.

"Destruction of federal property is a federal crime-18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines it as willfully injuring or committing any depredation of U.S. gov't property-Damage exceeding $1k is a felony w/ a fine-up to 10 yrs in prison or both" Meanwhile-took me forever to get permits to repaint my mailbox.

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

The techbros commit $300 million to Trump, and are expecting much more than that number in return. This is how things work. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Looking a bit tired and with sniffles, here’s an update on the #ForeverCanadian Unity Bus tour and on our signature count. It’s looking really good, but we need to push it across the finish line. Keep in mind that some signatures may get rejected. Thank you volunteers! #ableg

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

The hours it is taking to vote today is overt voter suppression. Thanks #UCP. #election #yyc

A picture is worth 1,000 words.

It’s election day, Calgary. If you haven’t voted, today’s the day. The new system (thanks UCP) takes longer so put your patient pants on. If you don’t vote, you have zero right to complain. This is the power of democracy, we have to use it, or lose it.

I’m glad I didn’t vote early in Calgary’s election. Changed my mind after watching CBC’s debate. First time that’s happened.

Trump genuinely likes Carney. I don’t imagine Trump would feel at all positive about Poilievre. Poilievre is bad news. He’s always complaining and negative.

Nearly half of Canadian Conservatives say they approve of Donald Trump, despite his trade war and threats of annexation — not to mention his government’s fascist tendencies. This should tell you everything you need to know about the state of the Conservative Party.

i don’t really understand why this made me start bawling i just really love seeing people try to help each other in creative ways and that this shit is necessary

Interestingly, the Downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Association, who had previously opposed the infrastructure, eventually reversed their position and became one of the city’s most vocal cycling proponents—calling protected bike lanes “the way of the future” and a “win–win–win for all users”.

This is so indefensibly insane: Speaker Johnson is refusing to seat Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva because she'll be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files.

🚢☀️ One shipload of solar panels = the electricity of 100 shiploads of coal. LNG? ~30. Fossil fuels are bulky, burned once & gone. Solar is front-loaded, then delivers clean power for decades. The math is brutal: renewables crush fossils on energy density & durability. #Solar #EV #BESS #Lithium
