Someone Started A GoFundMe To Build Escalators Over Trump's Border Wall

With the news of a GoFundMe campaign to fund the US-Mexico border wall (Yes, the same wall that Mexico was supposedly going to pay for, not American taxpayers), many thought things had gotten as 2018-ish as possible. Not so.


Luke O'Neil, a freelance journalist from Boston, recently started a GoFundMe campaign of his own: Build a Giant Escalator Over the Wall. Of the fundraiser, O'Neil says,

The wall is never going to be built but just in case it is we will build a series of giant escalators that are spaced out a half mile along the wall on either side and if that doesn't happen we'll just give the money to people who care about the well being of human beings no matter where they're from.

He goes on to clarify,

The escalators are a metaphor please do not come and investigate me ICE or whoever I'm not really going to build a series of giant escalators it's a joke to raise money for this good cause. To be clear all the money goes to RAICES a very worthy immigrant legal services charity and there is no way for me to access it even if I wanted to.

RAICES is, according to their website,

a 501(c)(3) nonprofit agency that promotes justice by providing free and low-cost legal services to underserved immigrant children, families, and refugees.

The internet has quite a bit to say about this new campaign.




Some people have some design and logistics suggestions.






There were also a few people who didn't seem to have read or understood the campaign page.

Woman Shares Why She Refuses To Tell Her Late Dad's Mistress Of 30 Years That He Died

While it doesn't always happen, sometimes we get to see karma at work—and sometimes, the revenge is sweet.

TikToker @cassdamm, who previously went viral for sharing the unhinged, five-page letter her 15-year-old son's principal sent, complaining about him "wandering the halls" and "being truant" for buying a drink on his way back to class, is openly celebrating the death of her father, but it's not for the reason you'd think.

Woman Sparks Debate About What Color Her Furniture Is—Only To Discover She's Colorblind

We've all heard the saying that there's no way of knowing everything that you don't know until you're faced with it directly. For some people, that could even be the color of the world around them.

Kristin Hughes, or @im.krispy on TikTok, reached out to the platform for a second opinion while she was trying to list a chair on Facebook Marketplace. Even though she wasn't charging anything for it, the woman who was interested in it continued to inquire for more photos and to know more about the color of the couch.

Woman Shares Hack For Keeping Lettuce Fresh For Two Months—And TikTok's Minds Are Blown

It's no secret that groceries are expensive and that they're more expensive than they've ever been before.

Add to this the fact that many items, especially produce, tend to expire very quickly, so people often find themselves spending the money, only to figuratively throw that money into the trash a few days later when they didn't get around to using the produce fast enough.

TikToker Goes Viral For Epically Laying Out Why Women Break Up With Men—And It's Spot On

Navigating the dating scene can be rough, and it can be really hard to understand why a relationship doesn't end up working out.

Men, for example, have posted infinitely on the internet about the "pointlessness" of dating because of women always breaking up with them, while women have admitted to seeing fewer and fewer reasons to even participate in the dating scene.
