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.

Taking a moment to list 2020 % of Latino eligible voter breakdowns by state (10% or higher) and who won each of those states (source: @PewHispanic)

ARIZONA: 23.6% (BIDEN win)
CALIFORNIA: 30.5% (BIDEN win)
COLORADO: 15.9% (BIDEN win)
CONNECTICUT: 12.3% (BIDEN win)

Another major underreported angle.

For those wondering, @JoeBiden won or is leading all these 10 counties.

Will share more about top Latino cities later.

Hey @CNN, @cindymccain is not the only reason that Biden won Arizona. It wasn't just that. Can you at least discuss the overwhelming Latino support and the organizing history of young Latinos in the time of SB1070?

Trump has won Zapata County — just north of the Rio Grande Valley along the border — by 6 points, 53% to 47%, per SOS results.

Last two presidential elections there were Clinton +33 and Obama +43.

BTW, Latina women showed more support for Biden than Latino men.

In 2008, 61% of voting-age Latinxs in CA were citizens. In 2020, 75% are citizens. Similar numbers for TX. Do your hot takes on the "Latino Vote" take into account how quickly the Latinx electorate is changing?

Being told from organizers in #Florida that around 380,000 Puerto Rican voters have already voted early in the state.

Juan is a first time voter. He tells our Nevada volunteers that he is voting for his country and for his family. He is hoping his #vote makes a difference. #MyVoteIsEssential

This morning, @NALEO upped its Latino early voter data with numbers from November 1 votes. The 18-29 group, yo. #Election2020

Watching her pick these radishes is like watch a professional chef mince onions. And people say this is "unskilled labor". Does that actually look unskilled? Cuz it doesn't look unskilled to me. I know I couldn't do it that fast.

It's the time a year for pumpkins and squash that decorate our porch. Let's thank workers like Alejandro who is hard at work in Alabama, harvesting our Halloween pumpkins. #WeFeedYou

We grow the food.
We build the homes.
We fight the wars.
We take care of our families- and we take care of yours, too.

We even pay taxes.

FYI she earns $1.86 per 60 bundles of radishes, and she paid more state and federal taxes than the president did. #WeFeedYou

what is the point of having Latinx platforms if you’re gonna shove the same kind of white Latinx at us?

I’m so tired of this shit.

Native people are three times more likely to test positive for the virus, and are among the highest risk groups for severe outcomes.

Native people are more likely to work in high-risk low-wage jobs and tribal lands often lack clean water, electricity, or rural health care.
