Sitting here eating a hamburger. Two old ladies sitting a couple tables away. Star Wars A New Hope is playing on the TV. One turns to the other, “what was his name?” The other replies. “Oh um, Tupac?” “I think you’re right.” They take another bite of their burger as they turn back to Yoda on T.V.

Now more than ever, we need to support Mexican restaurants because their sheer existence is an act of resistance in these times.
