  Who said Democrats are on our side

  Oh look we get both!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨18-26 year olds, How do you plan to dodge the draft?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  RFK wants to send people with ADHD and autism to labor camps. I don’t think having ADHD puts you lower on the list

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do RICH people of color ever get harassed by ICE?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Everywhere. Just open the news. Every random backwoods has a pending proposal from a vulture capitalist

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do RICH people of color ever get harassed by ICE?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s more to it than that. A rich person can afford a luxury car, a poor person might have a beater or a low cost lease. Guess which one the police are going to actually stop

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Fwiw, I’m latina and generally not a big fan of them. Growing up, my dad ate at least one a day. It’s a huge thing in Hispanic households

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans: How the hell do you meet new people or get into relationships after college?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hobbies. Groups. Bars/clubs. Anything that fosters community. Find somewhere that cultivates a shared interest and engage with others, they aren’t necessarily going to come to you

  The reason is what pushed Luigi to merc one of them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come in American classrooms they make another language an elective. Why not teach our kids as many languages possible that way if we go somewhere we will kind of have uper hand?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh boy don’t look up American required math education

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come in American classrooms they make another language an elective. Why not teach our kids as many languages possible that way if we go somewhere we will kind of have uper hand?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why it’s a fucking robbery when bilingual parents refuse to teach their kids a second language. Sadly happens a lot in the US with Spanish

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come in American classrooms they make another language an elective. Why not teach our kids as many languages possible that way if we go somewhere we will kind of have uper hand?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The US is allergic to other languages. Hell, it’s even allergic to English depending on where you look. It’s all just part of the government’s plan to keep people stupid.

  //

  Languages are great, and you learn a ton about other cultures along the way. For anyone on the fence of learning another language, I can happily say being trilingual is super fun and worth the effort

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Michelle Obama once said when they go low we go high. Meaning the republicans go low. What would be the equivalent of the Democrats going low instead of high ground?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a compromise

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trans people in Kansas are being ordered to surrender their drivers licenses⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m currently outside the US but I need to renew my passport, which has had the correct gender marker and name for 10 years. Naturally they’re being butts about it, I’m pulling my hair doing this. The Nazi bastards don’t care

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trans people in Kansas are being ordered to surrender their drivers licenses⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We’ve always been one of the main groups targeted by Nazis, but never s part of the discussions

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Earbugld question: Does anyone actually like to silicone tipped earbuds over the solid plastic ones?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I détest the silicone ones. They’re uncomfortable and I always lose the tip. I only use the hard plastic ones

  It’s fuckin RAW

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For Americans, what do you really think of Latin Americans?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gallo pinto is lazy man’s food.

  1. Chop up onions and peppers (optionally celery), add to giant frying pan and cook slightly with some oil
  2. Dump in a metric buttload of rice. Day old rice is better than fresh. Fry it up a bit
  3. Add a can of black beans, juice included. Mix it all together
  4. Season with salt, garlic, Goya Adobo, and a fuckton of cumin. Add other spices to taste.
  5. Right before serving, add a fuck ton of cilantro and mix (no substitutions!). This shit shrinks like spinach.
  6. Serve with some sort of side - fried egg, sweet plantains, chorizo, chachirron, cheese (queso fresco or fried)
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For Americans, what do you really think of Latin Americans?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes but the American idea of a taco is not traditional Hispanic food, and especially not representative of the majority of Latin America

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For Americans, what do you really think of Latin Americans?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m originally from Costa Rica, but lived in both the US and Canada

  The US has always had a major xenophobia problem, even in progressive areas. The area I grew up in is a red area of a blue state and my experience there as a latina was fucking horrible, in large part due to the cops. No one in the US seems to understand that Costa Rica is a country and I would constantly get called Puerto Rican or Mexican.

  Canada is different, Costa Rica has a much stronger presence here and people are much more aware of it (though I’ve yet to actually meet any other Costa Ricans). My experience as a latina has been better by comparison, though unfortunately it’s because a lot of the racism and xenophobia gets directed at South Asian people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The American Dream is turning into. the American Nightmare real quick⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The American Dream is hoping you don’t die in a repurposed KMart at the hands of your highschool bully

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The American Dream is turning into. the American Nightmare real quick⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s been the American nightmare for most of my life

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We dont talk about what happened to Alex Pretti enough.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s gonna become as normalized as school shootings

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When did it become normalized to start passing credit card processing fees to the customer?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Was it really baked into the price of the goods when the price of the goods hasn’t changed?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trigger warning - This Epstein stuff is making me sick...⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am close to feeling like we need pitchforks, torches and shovels if this justice system won’t actually do anything…

  We passed that point a while ago

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans rarely refer to the US as America⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a US citizen and lived there most of my life but refuse to call myself American. I’d rather call myself after my home state or country of birth, It’s an embarrassment.

  Helps that I live abroad though
