This is what happens when a generation internalizes the cost of American intervention in the Middle East. We’ve seen this cycle before.

My father β€” a proud Boricua β€” loved Puerto Rico with all his heart. He’s no longer with us, but I felt him during that performance. Watching my sons dance in the living room, I saw the generational story Bad Bunny told come alive right in front of me. Overwhelmed with joy rn.πŸ‡§πŸ‡·πŸ‡΅πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Boosting lawmaker diversity calls for year-round engagement with voters - The Boston Globe A more durable path toward representational parity requires greater investment in grass-roots, year-round engagement with Black and Latino voters.

Wrote a little something about building a more durable path toward representational parity in Massachusetts. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/13/o...

When Our Votes Still Aren’t Enough Latinos make up nearly 45% of Boston’s public school students and 20% of its residents, yet their leaders are still overlooked.

Every line of this is spot on. This one hit it out of the park:

β€œWe don’t need anyone to give us a seat. We’ve been building the tables.”

As Everett stadium talks drag on, Wu and Revs both tout their case - The Boston Globe As Boston mayor's race heats up, so is the dispute over a soccer stadium the Krafts hope to build in Everett.

The Kraft Group is still only offering $750,000 in mitigation for their new stadium. That's an unserious proposal and just one and a half months of a billionaire’s son’s allowance.

Almost 50% of Latinos voted for Trump in 2024. Experts have theories New data from the Pew Research Center shows that 48% of Latinos voted for President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election, a 12% jump from 2020.

FYI this is true for Massachusetts too. Visit our communities and find out.

β€œThere is very little evidence that there’s a shift to being more conservative. There’s a lot of evidence that Latinos are becoming more populist.”

Pew: Trump Narrowed Latino Vote Gap to Just 3 Points in 2024 According to the Pew report released on Thursday morning, Trump narrowed the gap with Latino voters to just three percentage points, earning 48% to Kamala Harris’ 51%. In 2020, Trump trailed Joe Biden...

Latinos Vote Differently Under Threat Voters who care most about economic issues will still coalesce as an ethnic bloc if their community is attacked.

Some saw the Senator Padilla event as a partisan altercation. Latinos saw something different. @mikemadrid.bsky.social brilliantly captures the struggle.

Supreme Court allows DOGE to access Social Security data The dispute concerns efforts by the Department of Government Efficiency, largely led by Elon Musk, to access sensitive data, including Social Security numbers.

Everything about this regardless of party should terrify you. And, for now, we won’t have any means of figuring out what a taxpayer funded dept. is doing.

β€œThe data [DOGE] seeks includes Social Security numbers, medical records, and tax and banking information.”
