Loved working on this story about a Spanish-born Vietnam Vet. The icing on the cake for this one were the recordings of him, in 1968, talking to his wife and children back home.

Who drives 140 miles from San Antonio to Austin to hand-deliver 16 interview tapes for the ⁦@VocesCenter⁩ on a Saturday morning? That would be my longtime friend Rene A. Gonzalez. Interviews from 1970’s with elderly relatives in Hebbronville, Texas— South Texas.

No hot takes on Latino voters until you can tell me the names of the books you’ve read by Latino authors, can list Latino reporters, can tell me the names of Latino actors and artists.

Don’t start with your theories on Latinos if you just discovered us last night.

@lyndamgonzalez Congrats, @lyndamgonzalez! Wishing you and your groom all the best!

This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. #Womenwillnotbesilenced #VoteKamala

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

News flash: On Tuesday night, regardless of what the vote tallies say, Trump will declare victory. 

He will claim the only reason he may lose is “vote stealing.”

Undermining the legitimacy of an election is how demagogues destroy faith in democracy.

Kamala for President.

[United Farm Workers @UFWupdates]

We want to wish all our friends who celebrate, a happy #DiwaliCelebration. Marigolds which many use in garlands & decorations are harvested by farm workers like Ignacio. Marigolds are said to bring good luck and fortune, and symbolize the beauty and fragility of life.
