Beyond party politics, this is a remarkable moment in the country’s history. Latinos are no longer just shaping the nation’s future through their work, culture, and communities, but increasingly through political leadership. Two Hispanic governors in California and Texas, two of the largest and most influential states in America. We are not newcomers to the American story. We are helping write its next chapter.

California y Texas, las dos grandes economías estatales de Estados Unidos, serán gobernados por demócratas hispanos, ambos de origen mexicano.

I keep seeing people run all sorts of documents through Pangram and get outraged when they come back as AI-positive. I feel like I’m starting to lose sight of what we’re trying to achieve here. Is the outrage always warranted? 1/

Mexico City isn't a realistic immediate expansion target for the NBA, but not because of CRIME
Mexico City's murder rate is far lower than many NBA cities.
Americans are so normalized to gun violence, yall dont even realize you're more likely to be murdered in Alabama than CDMX

People dunking on this saying that TWFE is just fine are omitting an important detail that these are from “top 5” -- papers that have been vetted for identification, passed several robustness checks, gone through several rounds of reviews, and then gone through.
