Cubans have traditionally enjoyed a privileged position in the US compared with other Latin American immigrants, thanks to fast-track routes to residency and citizenship.
Now under the Trump regime, those Cubans who had arrived legally now face deportation.

Let these ppl get back under their rock. The world is cruel enough, no need for ppl like this whole 🍊 family.
Talent-free Lara Trump pitched herself to sing at Turning Point's alternative (which supremacist) Super Bowl halftime show? And her morals-free father-in-law is trying to extort New York into naming Penn Station after him?
These thirsty clowns are constantly insinuating themselves into our lives.

🚨BREAKING: Republicans are moving quickly to pass a bill requiring voters to show proof of citizenship both to register and at the polls ahead of the 2026 midterm elections — a move that experts warn could disenfranchise millions of Americans. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
GOP fast tracks monster voter suppression bill that could disenfranchise millions by requiring proof of citizenship at polls
In the past few weeks, passing the legislation has been a unifying rally cry for Republicans, a welcome distraction from the party’s cratering public opinion polls.

"But what about China?" has been a throwaway comment made many times to justify inaction on climate change or criticise decarbonisation policies.
Well China is now by far the world's largest manufacturer, installer, and user of clean energy technologies.

The numbers paint a grim picture. Norway’s 88% collapse is particularly striking given it was one of Tesla’s few bright spots in 2025. The Netherlands (-67%) and UK (-57%) are experiencing similar freefall.

En dat deel waar @derk.cda.nl van zegt dat het bij bedrijven gehaald wordt is gewoon niet waar.
Verhogen aof premie betekent gewoon kleinere loonruimte en dus direct effect op cao loonstijgingen.

We moeten meer belasting betalen over ons inkomen, terwijl de belasting op vermogen even laag blijft. D66, VVD en CDA willen in de vorm van de ‘Vrijheidsbijdrage’ jaarlijks 5 miljard ophalen voor de investeringen in Defensie. 3,4 miljard daarvan wordt bij de burgers gehaald, allemaal op het inkomen.

Weet u wat gratis bier is @pietergrinwis.bsky.social? Belasting heffing op mensen die nu bewust buiten de heffing zijn gehouden. En dan ook nog eens op papieren winst.
Overigens heeft BBB gelijk, maar de vermogensvlucht zal naar box2 zijn. Het debat gaat teveel over wensdenken.

Geen huis meer straks, maar toch fijn dat de renteaftrek er nog is (overigens is die de facto al afgeschaft, behalve dat het niet te handhaven is op dit moment)
