I have NEVER understood the cognitive dissonance between white people en masse in America celebrating Cinco de Mayo while simultaneously cheering on the murders and state kidnappings of Latino people. It's chilling to me. Always has been.
Sometimes when we borrow words from other languages, English can become delightfully redundant.
‘Scampi’ means “shrimp” so ‘shrimp scampi’ is basically “shrimp shrimp.”
Sahara Desert = Desert Desert
chai tea = tea tea
naan bread = bread bread
ahi tuna = tuna tuna
11. Being the “strong one” while quietly falling apart inside: Everyone assumes you’re fine. You’re handling it. You always do. So no one checks on you. No one asks if you’re okay. And you’ve gotten so good at holding it together that even when you’re breaking, no one notices. Because you’ve been trained to suffer in silence. And the betrayal is that people believe the mask.
18-year-old Damian Gomez was riding his bicycle, making food deliveries when he was killed by a hit-and-run driver at 63rd and Kedzie early this morning. His heartbroken family is pleading for the suspect to turn himself in. I'll have their message at 9 on @WGNNews
ICE detain father—leave U.S. citizen daughter behind in such medical distress she needs ambulance.
Agents put hands on the young girl to pull her out of car—causing her to have trouble breathing.
This according to witnesses of the incident that occurred in the Garden Ridge sub division of San Juan, Texas. #DemsUnited
This is some of the most outrageous shit I’ve ever seen in my fucking life. A Black woman in ACTIVE LABOR, disrobed on a hospital bed. Taken to court by THE HOSPITAL
WHAT THE FUCK
A child was nearly abducted in broad daylight on the city's North Side. Chicago police have released photos of the suspect wanted in the crime. https://t.co/dWJcKMaoiC
Leaked video from inside ICE detention shows women trapped in desperate conditions—smuggled out by husband.
Used panties, moldy food, broken shoes, clothes that don't fit because made for men—and a toxic mattress made of insulation.
Gabriela Sousa came to U.S. legally granted humanitarian parole from Venezuela—and is married to U.S. citizen husband.
Her husband helped the women smuggle out this video they made—with testimonials from several women detained together in these inhumane conditions
The video was made secretly inside the Baker County ICE Detention Center in Macclenny, Florida.
The proposed Joliet data center would cover 795 acres, about the size of 2.5 Grant Parks.
At full buildout, it would consume 1.8 gigawatts of electricity.
For reference, the entire City of Chicago uses about 3.45 gigawatts.
One facility. More than half of Chicago's power.
A kids menu is fine esp regarding portions and price, though I’d love to see more kid’s menus include resized versions of stuff from the regular menu along with the typical kid staples.
I don’t hate summer. I hate feeling hot. I overheat easily and it makes me irritable. Summer is fine people that love summer more power to you, but me give me autumn any day.
