Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

As a summer intern in 2011, I got pretty drunk on margaritas with a delightfully spry older lady at a Manhattan bar at like 4 PM, and it was only after she’d said goodbye to our entire intern class by kissing each one of us on the cheek did someone ask me if I’d ever heard of Cloris Leachman

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

there’s got to be some kind of statute of limitations on this crap. I get moral hazard, I get all of that, it’s just completely insane to say that this guy who built an American life for 30 years isn’t American.

This is Waylon. He'd been in a shelter for 95 days when a woman came in with her son Cai. Cai asked so many great questions about how to keep him safe and healthy. When he returned to officially adopt Waylon, he arrived in a very dapper suit, saying it was a "special occasion." 14/10 for everybody

In Donald Trump's America, if you say "I am Senator Alex Padilla, I have questions for the Secretary," you get thrown to the floor and handcuffed.

Trump said protests against him would be met with “very heavy force.” Sen. Padilla’s treatment suggests that’s their attitude toward attempts to question the king’s courtiers as well.

The state of California needs to arrest the DHS "security" forces for assault and every Democrat in the U.S. Senate needs to sign onto a campaign to impeach Kristi Noem. Right fucking now.

They're insisting that Donald Trump's election as president means he gets to do whatever he wants and not letting him do so is "violating the will of the people" and "overturning an election." But the governors and senators of a blue state? Totally different. They're illegitimate from the start.
