Pro immigrant speech for 4th of july is way more appropriate than anything trump says ever
possibly my favorite gif in the last 5 years, maybe ever

My face when they say taxing billionaires will make them leave the state.
Mfw they say the DSA is taking over the Democratic party.
"Oh no! The people who aren't paying taxes are going to leave? Whatever will we do!?!"
Even if they aren't paying a fair or even reasonable percentage, the tiny fraction they do pay in taxes is still a massive majority of total taxes paid.
It's the corporations gaming the system at the top to report losses on record profits and not paying taxes that is even worse. Tax codes as a whole desperately need to be overhauled.
I keep seeing this, what’s it from? Is it a good show?
I watched the whole speech. It's about 15 minutes long but really good. About the best I could have hoped for from a political America 250 speech.
It's the best kind of patriotic speech, talking about the things that make America great (diversity and community and opportunity) and acknowledging faults past and present. And throwing shade at Trump and white nationalists.
He gives me so much hope. I know better, but it still happens.
I expect him to have a way bigger audience than Trump.
A moderately well baked potato would have a way bigger audience than Trump.
Props for telling the truth about the Irish Famine.
He's new in politics and he's already acting like a president. Could we see a new FDR in our lifetime? Both are New Yorkers after all.
