Remember that take from 2014 by @nytimes from @Nate_Cohn and his editor @DLeonhardt that insisted that more and more US Latinos were identifying as white?

They were wrong. A refresher for those who are asking.

latinorebels.com/2014/05/21/1-2…

This shares more about what happened to @latinorebels this week. It's really sad but it is the truth.

aldianews.com/articles/polit… What the story didn't include is the correspondence I had with @LeoShane and other committee members who were asked specifically about what was said about @PabloReports and what does being "too visible" mean. I will likely share those responses later since it was all on record.

After just 1 month of getting a temporary pass to cover Congress for @latinorebels, @PabloReports's pass has not been extended. Been working hard with Pablo to get it renewed even to point of having @SpeakerPelosi's office intervene. They actually tried to help. #LatinoRebelsDCC I am beyond upset because the mostly white Periodical Gallery committee gave us the runaround and also lied to us. I was told in a phone call by the person who helps coordinate the committee that @PabloReports was seen as being "too visible" during his one month of coverage.

In my latest opinion piece for @PostOpinions, I chronicle the last week of immigration coverage from major US news outlets and why I decided to not publish certain @AP stories at @latinorebels (part o @futuromedia).

washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/… In that piece, I found out that the @AP was addressing some of the words used in certain stories. They went on the record with me and also shared an internal memo about their recent decisions regarding immigration stories.

First press conference by @JoeBiden starts now. Announces that they will now set a goal of 200 million vaccines on first 100 days. .@POTUS starts with all accomplishments in response to COVID pandemic.

Biden says that the US will have enough vaccines for all adult Americans by the end of May. Says it is a war-time effort. All American adults will eligible for vaccines by May 1, Biden says. Adds that a new vaccination website will be launched as well.

The is the US position: hey, our policies have literally decimated your region for countless of years, creating places where violence, corruption and fear rule, but don't try to flee these places because you are not welcome in the US. Don't come up here. Am still stuck on the fact that Jacobson is saying that Central American society has greatly benefited from US foreign assistance.

This is a top of fold story in today's @BostonGlobe and @jazmineulloa wrote a very strong story. Here's hoping Globe continues to provide more space for these types of stories and not just be one and done, which is what has happened in past. (Been a Globe subscriber since 1991.)

My one take on this excellent story is that I don't necessarily see it as "gains" for GOP since the level of support fell into historical patterns. It had to do more with how Dems didn't really need to win FL or TX. I will stand by that one. Because of AZ, NV, WI, MI, PA and GA.

Ok, the one day I take a break from political news, am sharing a story. I manage and play in an Over50 soccer league. Our team has been playing for a while. Used to be Over40 but now we get old. Today one of my teammates got a yellow card for cursing in English at the referee. Meanwhile, because I know all the Portuguese curse words, the other team was cursing at the referee during the first half all in Portuguese.

Ok, here goes, going to go down Pew's ranking of metro areas with highest number of Latinos and share whether Biden or Trump won/is leading county of metro area. Here goes:

Los Angeles: Biden

Can we please stop with the "Trump gained with Latino voters" hot takes? If you talked to ANY academic, commentator or journalist who has covered Latino voters over the last 40 years, the GOP has historically gotten a third of Latino voters nationally. NOBODY who has been following Trump and what his campaign did this cycle is surprised by the support he got. NOBODY.

The conversation needs to be this instead: there was NEVER a unified Latino voting bloc on the national level. Ever.

Watching @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris right now. #Election2020 Talking about historic 150 million people who voted.

Trump falsely claims that a very "sad group of people" were "disenfranchising" voters who chose him. #ElectionNight Trump says it is also clear that he won GA and NC. Adds that there was "lot of life" in AZ. Blames an early call on that state.

Final week of 9-week @NALEO 2020 Latino Weekly Tracking Poll (3,700 Latino voters). #Election2020

Biden-Harris 69%
Trump-Pence 26%

With more breakdowns below Both Biden and Trump saw increases in Latino voter support over course of 9-week @NALEO tracking poll.

In from @TelemundoNews today

Latino Voters National Poll

Biden 62%
Trump 29% Some details on this sample. More English-dominant

News of Trump aid to #PuertoRico will do one thing for him that few are talking about: solidify a bit more the 30%-40% of Puerto Rican voters in FL and PA who are more ideologically aligned to GOP and Independents than to Dems. A lot of PR's current leaders are Trump supporters. It would be foolish of people who THINK they know about Puerto Rico to just easily conclude that this will piss off ALL Puerto Rican voters off is places like FL and PA. Quite the contrary.
