MY LATEST @LATIMES COLUMNA: Trump inspired them to become U.S. citizens and to vote. Against him. RT, porfas! latimes.com/california/sto…
@latimes So for this one, I profiled Rafael and Carmela Serrano of Lakewood, 70-some-year-olds from Guadalajara who just became U.S. citizens this year to vote against Trump. Here's a photo of them because they're currently in Mexico on vacation.
@latimes They're continuing a proud family tradition practiced by their children: Legalize their status. Become American citizens. Register to vote. And vote Democrat, because of the GOP's anti-immigrant legacy in California over the past 25 years
@latimes I introduce in my columna via the Serranos the rancho concept of "gente decente." Humble folks who don’t like to draw attention to themselves and are exemplars of community life. The GOP has been alienating them for 25 years in California. Here's Teresa Serrano, with cool sticker
The hatred toward Trump by gente decente is such that Ana Ascencio, a 26-year-old Serrano niece had never before registered, let alone voted. She did this year — for Joe Biden. As @CalDuranie would do:
Por favor do read my columna, and subscribe to @latimes! As @Jes64LA would do:

LATEST ORIGINAL FOR @GustavoArellano'S WEEKLY: 10 Great Songs About the States of Mexico. This one's by me, gentle cabrones — RT, porfas! gustavoarellano.org/2020/10/songs-…
So this is an article I’ve wanted to write FOREVER, but that’s too niche for mainstream consumption, as a major music publication once told me. To them, I offer this, as @Scrface87 would do:
OF COURSE Chente is on this list, but probably not for the song you think. As @MexicanKeto would do:

To all the wokosos whining about @nytimes writing about carne asada fries: stop. A THREAD
First off, the author @juliamoskin is legit, and I don’t say this just because she did a profile on me in 2012 before the release of my Taco USA book. Julia knows that Mexican American foodways are varied and delicious, so her centering her carne asada recipe in Denver is smart
Den-Mex food is the type of cuisine where chile rellenos come in wonton wrappers, the tacos are hard shell w/melted cheese on the outside, and the most iconic dish is the Mexican hamburger: a bean-and-chicharrón burrito with a hamburger patty, and everything drowned in chile

MY LATEST STORY FOR @LATIMES: This artistic L.A. trucker turns road grime and elbow grease into mobile masterpieces. RT, porfas! latimes.com/local/californ…
@latimes Arnulfo Gonzalez, a Mexican immigrant from Guadalajara, paints a new image every other week in the back of his box car. The short-haul driver then goes on his commute across Southern California -- if you're here, you've probably seen his work
@latimes Gonzalez coats the back of his troca with cooking spray, lets dirt accumulate, then begins to paint with Q-tips, his finger, and a brush. He even uses the soot from his tailpipe for the darkest blacks. Here's him doing @Canelo and @gggboxing two years ago. IT'S ALL MADE OF GRIME

1. So has anyone railed about how racist, classist and just plain pendejo this @nytimes piece is? Because it TOTALLY is!
2. "Unlikely bakery and bread haven"? Tell that to all the panaderos, Viet baguette makers, Middle Eastern pita people, and Persian sangak locos who have baked MY ENTIRE LIFE
3. But since they're not hipster douchebags, immigrant SoCal bakers don't matter to the @nytimes, because it doesn't fit their twee narrative
