My favorite thing about election night is seeing all these networks and TV stations discuss the Latino vote without any Latinos at the table 🫠

Well at least the Biden administration, staffed up with former immigrant rights advocates, hasn’t spent the past four years expanding (and justifying) the reach and capabilities of the deportation system.

Am not engaging anyone who can't understand why Latinos voted who they voted this cycle. If you need explanations today, you can read my last 3 years of work. This was always possible. The results do not surprise me.

No hot takes on Latino voters until you can tell me the names of the books you’ve read by Latino authors, can list Latino reporters, can tell me the names of Latino actors and artists. Don’t start with your theories on Latinos if you just discovered us last night.

FACT: Texas does not have the budgetary means to fund two educational systems. So shifting education funds into the ESA voucher system will eventually require them to shift money out, essentially defunding the public school system. It is irresponsible to use taxpayer money to

Everyone in Texas, citizens and immigrants alike, should DECLINE TO RESPOND to the question about their immigration status when they go to the hospital. Help spread the word and protect Texas communities with the resources available here: linktr.ee/declinetoanswe…

Haven’t seen a story about how mixed-status families are navigating this moment. None of the strategizing, the denial, or the joking. This limbo that always exists is now closing. There will be a before and an after to mass deportations. Reporters are missing half of it now.

What I HAVE seen is stories about advocates and organizers. Those are important. And stories announcing the people who are setting the policies. Also important. But, as is often true for immigration stories, the people already experiencing the harm are missing from the narrative.

Today’s NLRB decision is a huge win for workers. Captive audience meetings have no place in a fair workplace. This ruling restores the freedom workers deserve to make their own choices about union representation without fear or intimidation.

Dreamers are our friends, neighbors, and are essential to our communities. Today, I stood on the House floor to urge my colleagues to pass my American Dream and Promise Act to provide Dreamers a pathway to citizenship. Let’s do right by them and our nation.

A trans person didn’t deny your health insurance claim, a giant corporation did. An asylum seeker didn’t raise your rent, a billionaire’s private equity firm did. Our focus must be taking on the billionaires & corporate greed.
