Xenophobes: Why don't illegal immigrants just follow the law? Me: Why don't you try explaining one single thing about immigration law and let's see if you can get literally anything remotely correct.

I just heard someone say that taco trucks should drive around the neighborhood in the evenings and play music like ice cream trucks. I felt that.

I need a new coffee maker to replace a cheap (probably cancerous) plastic one, and looking for advice on what people are using these days. What are coffee lovers using to make coffee at home? - French press - drip - V60 - What else … ?

Controversial opinion: coffee shops don’t open up early enough. If you sell coffee and you don’t open until 8:00 am, you may not understand what coffee is for.

The idea that Kamala Harris is not eligible for office because of her family background is not only absurd, it’s racist & dangerous. America continues to be haunted by a form of nationalism, rooted in white supremacy, that thrives on lies that vilify people of color. Disgusting.

One of the greatest failures of the United States in the 20th century is without a doubt our refusal to adopt a civilized approach to mass transportation and instead build roads and freeways everywhere, forcing people to rely on cars at an unsustainable level.

The phrase 'money can't buy happiness' is actually super gaslighting because not having money to pay for basic things is a legitimate source of a tremendous amount of suffering and despair.

As long as we pretend to call it the Gulf of America, I’m calling Texas “North Mexico”. Deal with it.

Fellow writers, I say this with love: most of you are not backing up your computer regularly to minimize the risk of data loss and it worries me. Please back up your computers!

We told you it was about whiteness. If it wasn’t clear enough before, it’s crystal clear now.Trump paused the refugee program, but when it comes back online, it will focus on resettling white South Africans (Afrikaners) who are “victims of racial discrimination.” (Camilo/CBS)America has gone off the rails.
