I always shoot down the stereotype of Black people not tipping waitstaff. I waited tables in a big tourist area, I waited on every race and nationality, and if you give good service, Black folks tip as well as anyone. So I always ask the person who says otherwise, Did you give them good service?

This is grossly wrong. Stephen Miller's family escaped European pogroms and founded a successful life here. They are appalled and some have spoken out against his policies.

I will never, ever understand how anyone sees giving fellow citizens the same rights of marriage my husband and I enjoy in any way injures their own marriage or religious faith. How does it hurt me for others to have the same rights? If anything, it strengthens both!

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

I just heard @npr.org say "no one knows how to fairly divvy up the bill" regarding the increase in utility costs due to data centers. Easy. Data centers pay. The infrastructure, increase, their own bills. If I walk into a store and fuck up everything in there, I have to pay for it. Why don't they?

We're noticing in Connecticut the Republican candidates are not noting their affiliation in their ads. Just, "we'll cut taxes and save schools" which is usually the ripoff it's GOP.
