.@Facebook changed their name yesterday but doesn’t change anything about the fact that as bad as their problems are in English they’re even worse in Spanish. Quick 👇🏽 on my Washington Post Outlook piece (1/8) wapo.st/3CDW0fX Latinos spend more time online and on @WhatsApp (owned by @Facebook) than others and also have strong connections across Latin America and face an entire continent of Spanish misinfo largely unchecked by the big tech cos.

This tweet is dedicated to the progressive mvmt leaders who after many years of tireless organizing, year and year out (not just election years) build power for our community.

This tweet is dedicated to the many Biden campaign team that have worked tirelessly to get us to this moment!

@CristobalJAlex one of Biden's earliest and tireless staff has been on the trail for a very long time and sacrificed a lot, esp time away from Tai + Baby Boss I think it's so important to lift up the 4 Latinx state directors of the new soon to be blue wall in the southwest
@thejessicamejia in Arizona, @alanamounce in Nevada, @ErnieApreza in Colorado and #RaulAlvillar in New Mexico.

I’m sick of ppl trying to cast Latinos as the reason Biden lost FL + TX:

✅FL + TX aren’t the only Latinos in America

✅In both states white swing voters swung back to Trump

✅HISTORIC WIN IN ARIZONA

✅Latinos in MI + WI helped put Biden over top Pls don’t write just one chapter of this story. It requires much more nuance. Including:

✅only 3% of the entire Latino electorate in US is Cuban. Yet based on many headlines, they are driving an entire narrative about all latinos in 2020

follow @carlosodio for more on this

We've long said Latinos aren't a monolith. Tonight proves just that: the promise and the peril of the Latino vote.

Miami + FL are just a small share of Latino electorate that will shape the outcome of this election.

There is a lot of the Latino story that is yet to be written Florida goes first and always grabs our attention but there is a lot more to be written tonight and the rest of the week.

As I’m in the middle of writing this, Arizona was already called for Biden on the strength of Latino voters in Maricopa County and Tucson.

What last night's RNC convention made clear: The GOP is making an effort to go after voters of color. We've been saying for ages that this election will be won and lost on the margins. Their strategy is not to actually win the majority of these voters, but rather to shave enough off the margins or get enough of us to stay home. We've seen this plain + simple in how they've tried to discredit Biden with voters of color - seeding doubt and "both sidesism"

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are felt globally and by all kinds of people. But they aren’t landing equally across the population here in the US.

@EquisResearch reviewed recent public polling to see how Latinos are faring. THREAD (1/) 1. On key economic questions Latinos report higher levels of concern and hardship at this early stage. 2/
