Most sane people can agree that Taco Tuesdays should be a weekly national holiday for the obvious reason that tacos are amazing. Some fools, however, want to fight that notion and the most notable example of this—besides Hispanic-phobic Donald Trump himself—has been Latinos for Trump founder Marco Gutierrez. Last month he warned Americans that without extreme measures to prevent the spread of Mexican culture (i.e., his own culture), there would be “taco trucks on every corner.” As if that’s a bad thing.
Thanks to the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, we’ll be seeing a lot more tacos and a lot more registered voters. In an effort to increase America’s Latino voting population, the USHCC decided to offer voter registration services at—you guessed it—taco trucks. Since the #GuacTheVote campaign went into action October 3, Texans have been able to register to vote at eight different taco trucks around Houston, Remezcla reports.
Since then, several other taco-truck-registration-booth hybrids have opened up throughout the country. The Arizona Democratic Party recruited 150 taco trucks throughout its state to run voter-registration services. Tamale House East’s part owner Jose Valera joined the effort to increase registered voter numbers in Travis County, Texas. As he explained to the Austin American-Statesman,
“As a business owner, I want to stay apolitical. But this is not a partisan push—this is a voter registration push, and something we’d like to turn into a voter-turnout push. It’ll be a success if we get 50 new voters.”
Efforts like these are crucial since there are 27 million Latinos eligible to vote in this election; or, in other words, 27 million opportunities to defeat Donald Trump. Only about half of eligible Latino voters cast ballots in the 2012 election, reports the The New York Times, meaning that an increase of this demographic could have a big impact on this election.
Though you’ll have to act fast if you want to get signed up while also picking up lunch. According to Houston Public Media, the drive will run through this Taco Tuesday, October 11. And if you’re looking to register in more conventional ways, don’t forget to check out our guide to registering in less than two minutes. It should also go without saying that once you’re registered, don’t forget to get out and vote.

Grieving couple comforting each other
This response to someone grieving a friend might be the best internet comment ever
When someone is hit with the sudden loss of a friend or loved one, words rarely feel like enough. Yet, more than a decade ago, a wise Redditor named GSnow shared thoughts so profound they still bring comfort to grieving hearts today.
Originally posted around 2011, the now-famous reply was rediscovered when Upvoted, an official Reddit publication, featured it again to remind everyone of its enduring truth. It began as a simple plea for help: “My friend just died. I don't know what to do.”
What followed was a piece of writing that many consider one of the internet’s best comments of all time. It remains shared across social media, grief forums, and personal messages to this day because its honesty and metaphor speak to the raw reality of loss and the slow, irregular path toward healing.
Below is GSnow’s full reply, unchanged, in all its gentle, wave-crashing beauty:
Why this advice still matters
Mental health professionals and grief counselors often describe bereavement in stages or phases, but GSnow’s “wave theory” gives an image more relatable for many. Rather than a linear process, grief surges and retreats—sometimes triggered by a song, a place, or a simple morning cup of coffee.
In recent years, this metaphor has found renewed relevance. Communities on Reddit, TikTok, and grief support groups frequently reshare it to help explain the unpredictable nature of mourning.
Many readers say this analogy helps them feel less alone, giving them permission to ride each wave of grief rather than fight it.
Finding comfort in shared wisdom
Since this comment first surfaced, countless people have posted their own stories underneath it, thanking GSnow and passing the words to others facing fresh heartbreak. It’s proof that sometimes, the internet can feel like a global support group—strangers linked by shared loss and hope.
For those searching for more support today, organizations like The Dougy Center, GriefShare, and local bereavement groups offer compassionate resources. If you or someone you know is struggling with intense grief, please reach out to mental health professionals who can help navigate these deep waters.
When grief comes crashing like the ocean, remember these words—and hang on. There is life between the waves.
