Maxine Waters was born in 1938.
She was not guaranteed the right to vote until she was 26.
She could not buy a house unimpeded until she was 30.
She can serve as long as she wants (and is functional) IMO.

A Black mom taking care of 2 special needs children is struggling. She’s trying to find a job that fits the schedule of all the children and has fallen behind on bills trying to keep a roof over the children.

A few videos of folk from the Americas celebrating when Bad Bunny mentioned their country.
There’s hundreds of them on TikTok…per country
It’s pretty incredible and touching.

We ALL know that's Ricky Martin singing in front of the bananas
He's singing "Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii," an anti-statehood song that holds up Hawaii as a cautionary tale (as already established, Benito is pro independence)
