- Reposted by CafecitoGood morning to everyone but the most corrupt president to ever exist, who is at this moment selling out his nation to the funders of terrorism so his boy can sign another $2 billion deal. Oh and Tom Holman

- Reposted by CafecitoOf course, Trump is taking a $400 million 747 “gift” from Qatar. Of course, his lawyers claim it’s legal. Of course, as grossly corrupt as it is, it’s barely worth our outrage among all the other unconstitutional outrages from this criminal regime.
- Reposted by CafecitoWhen you watch these heartbreaking videos showing the cruel and thuggish behavior of ICE agents, remember that these people are not being FORCED to commit these acts — they do so willingly. They could quit their jobs at any time. They could say “enough!” ICE agents CHOOSE to do what they do.
- #Genocide. Is anybody appalled that this is happening and when you call it out you get branded an antisemite. When the Israelis responsible for this finally get charged with war crimes will they be allowed to say that they were just "following orders." www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

- As per usual @nytimes.com distorts the facts with its erroneous headline. This was NOT a protest, this was US Representative doing their duty of oversight and inspecting a federal facility. 20 ICE agents in tactical gear and masks arrest the black mayor of Newark. We need to protest and speak out!
- @repgabevasquez.bsky.social district has 42% of his constituents on Medicaid and yet we have not heard him say a word of protest. Is Gabe afraid. Speak UP! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
- Five pencils for you and 3 billion (fortune Trump has made on his various grifts since taking office) for me. "Because nothing buoys the spirits of Americans contemplating a lean Christmas like armored vehicles rolling through the streets around the White House?" www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/o...
- Twenty ICE agents refuse entry to Federal officials trying to inspect a federal facility, manhandle the Reps and arrest the mayor of Newark Why the fuck do they wear masks and tactical gear. Only goons committing crimes wear a balaclava. Straight up fear, brutality and intimidation. #Fascism
- Reposted by Cafecito“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

- Reposted by CafecitoMenendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?

- Reposted by CafecitoWe're in this 2-3 month liminal space where the impact of the China tariffs hasn't been felt yet, and the congressional GOP hasn't decided what to do about Medicaid yet -- in a way nothing has changed yet, so the public can mostly ignore, and yet 2-3 months from things will have definitely changed.
- Reposted by CafecitoI’m not sure how Duffy can fix any of the issues with air travel when he’s on Fox 24/7 complaining about it and blaming other people. STFU for 5 minutes and do your job! This isn’t a reality TV show - people’s lives and livelihoods are in the hands of these unqualified dipshits.
