Senator Kamala Harris, the junior senator from California, announced on January 21st that she will be running for president in the 2020 election.

Show of hands: who expects the birther debate to begin?

Well, it took right-wing extremist Jacob Wohl not even 24 hours to go full birther on Harris.

Senator Harris was born in Oakland, California, and, while she lived in Québec after her parents' divorce, is a U.S. citizen. She is unquestionably eligible to run for president — not that "facts" matter to far-right conspiracy theorists like Wohl.

Twitter was quick to set the record straight, using actual law and actual sense to point out that Senator Harris meets all the requirements of a presidential nominee.

Senator Harris is the first African-American woman to run for president. Could it be that, perhaps, Wohl and his birther cronies are less concerned about Senator Harris' pedigree than they are about the color of her skin?

Senator Harris announced that she would run for president on Martin Luther King Day, pledging to uphold the rights Dr. King fought so hard for. "The future of our country depends on you and millions of others lifting our voices to fight for our American values," she said in Kamala Harris: For the People. "Let's claim our future."

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
