Also, to be clear, there is a generational split within the Cuban American community. The older generation is still mad about Kennedy/Castro. The younger generation is majority Democrat and little different than any other group of that persuasion.

I’m actually not surprised. South Florida, and Miami specifically, is very unique because of its Cuban-American population. They have long been, staunchly conservative, Republican voting bloc. Unlike other countries (e.g. El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua) who have suffered from US interventionist policies…

So glad you asked. A big part of Trump’s campaign focused on the immigrant status, in and of itself, painting the vast majority of them as dirty terrible criminals. He’s only somewhat modified that in order to normalize himself and get this policy to pass, making it sound as if he is so concerned with the alleged…

The thing is, most of the Cuban immigrants were refugees that were given legal status/citizenship and have conservative leanings - they look down on other Latinos who aren’t in their cushy situation. AKA I’ve got mine so fuck yours.

Because there’s a big difference between “breaking the law” and “committing a crime.” It’s against the law to hang an air freshener on your rear view mirror, but a cop who pulls you over can’t arrest you and throw you in jail for it. This is the difference between a civil violation and a crime; both are “breaking the…

It’s a cowardly action. When other mayors are standing up against President Trump’s unlawful orders and calling them out as rightful unconstitutional and illegal, Mayor Gimenez has decided to cave in and allow the practice of detaining immigrants at the “request” of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This practice…

I honestly don’t get peoples arguments and defensiveness over Trump not really being smart or capable enough to do the horrible things he’s doing. Like, does it matter? He’s doing the things, period. It’s completely inane and beside the point to debate his intelligence at this point.

Call your congressmen. Call them frequently. PUT THEM UNDER PRESSURE. Make them understand you are not happy.

I am truly, sincerely sorry that, as a white woman, it’s taken me this long to understand your fear. I’m sorry I didn’t even acknowledge, much less accept your fear until I felt it as well. My privilege kept me from that. I’m sorry for showing up late to the party, but I’m here now, and though my words will need to…

I love Broad City. Such a refreshing perspective.

Amazing how the very same people who screamed the loudest about upholding the constitution under Obama are the same ones eagerest to take a dump on it under Trump.

And legislation like this is being proposed or passed in multiple states across the country. They’re specifically targeting things like “blocking traffic” because it sounds reasonable, but is ultimately an erosion of first amendment rights. In fact, you can find lots of liberals and conservatives who immediately go…

Anyone who says this isn’t straight up fascism, is a straight up fascist themselves. Our right to peacefully assemble, which means anything short of actually smashing shit up, is guaranteed by our 1st amendment constitutional rights. Don’t think for a second that this law will not be used by a federal agency at some…

Trump’s main policy goal is convincing everyone that actually people do like him, thinking that if he does that, everyone WILL actually like him. It has been his life goal, and this is just the latest incarnation of it. In some ways, it is fun to behold.

It matters because the trump administration conducted its very first press conference on the premise of a blatant lie. A lie about something so pathetically stupid.

And I think it’s just unbelievably frustrating when you’re continually told, “It’s not big enough, it’s not good enough, you can’t win.”

Thank you Mr. Spicer for your service. You have done an incredible service for this country by delivering a clear, unambiguous message: it’s working. If there’s one thing to take away from this “press conference” it’s that everything we’re doing, everything we are achieving together is genuinely and legitimately…

It’s a good thing Obama didn’t have to with negative and demoralizing comments all the time.
