I gotcha

Fwiw, I don’t doubt that many among the Cuban diaspora lie (or were lied to) about when their families came across because of the Cold War incentive structure. And you’re totally right about the most powerful among them like Rubio who spin that story. I just would bet the actual majority came later

I guess i’ll take your word for it. Seems like a pretty pedantic point you’ve made though.

That is certainly true. 100% on point there.

Again, I said that I would not trust them as Cuban foreign policy experts. As for the point about whatever regime they fled, you cannot act like the majority of them fled prior to the revolution. I don’t have the statistics, but that seems untrue.

Yeah, an example that springs to mind is the Cuban diaspora. Like do you hate the Cuban regime for a good reason? Yeah probably. Based on that alone, are you the foremost expert on public policy around Cuba? Definitely not

Credit where credit is due. Let’s get this thing across the finish line. Washington kids cannot wait

Man, something like this would transform life in LA. Whatever the cost, we need to get it done

ICE arrested an Oregon shop owner who had her green card in her pocket: β€˜They didn’t care’ Juanita Avila later helped expose ICE’s β€˜arrest first, justify later’ tactics in a lawsuit that won a major victory for immigrants’ rights

NEW: ICE tackled + arrested Juanita Avila, an Oregon shop owner who is a legal permanent resident and had her green card in her pocket.

When she asked through sobs why they didn't believe her, one masked agent replied: β€œBecause they lie all the time.”

Video + interview with her and her daughter:

You guys need a Canadian Daley to just close it in the middle of the night with bulldozers. It’d make that area one of the great urban parks of the world

At this point, this is really it. The elites do not believe the rules apply to them. Donald Trump’s brazen corruption has taken the mask off for the rest of us.

Yeah ya know what, go ahead and throw Kalshi employees in with the tribunals for the trump regime. Get their ass out of here

Americans are finally taking a critical approach to Israel. We can do that without sliding into antisemitism | Joel Swanson Israel’s role in drawing the US into a war on Iran is attracting healthy scrutiny. It’s also creating a permission structure for antisemitism

I’m in @theguardian.com, talking about the struggle between acknowledging that increased criticism of Israel is completely justified, and also that some people are using that to mainstream antisemitism. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Republican America on full display.
β€œMake America Healthy Again” is and has always been a fucking grift. RFK Jr. is a murderer and should spend the rest of his miserable life in prison after the regime falls.

A special tribunal tasked with prosecuting regime officials could be given capital punishment as a tool, but once the tribunal is done, then the tool is done. The death penalty becomes federally illegal.

This kind of shit is beyond parody. Seattle is so often awesome and equally often pathetic.
