@davidmwyatt Or...are you THIS guy?

@andreeball I used to ask nonprofits what they thought wouid surprise people most about their jobs. Usually that helped them get something off their chest.

People are genuinely shocked and appalled to see such violence on TV 🙄

@andreeball You’re incredible!!! Congratulations!!!

@trash_and_art @discomoss @NPRinterns Bolita when I was a kid in San Antonio, for the same reason - the little balls on the ends. But without the balls, we called it a chongo and I still use that term at home with my daughter. When I’m out in public, I struggle with what to call it — because it’s a chongo.

For so many people - even the people who feel their candidate lost - today is a good day and a new day for our country.

[Van Jones @VanJones68]

Today is a good day.
It’s easier to be a parent this morning.
Character MATTERS.
Being a good person MATTERS.
This is a big deal.

It’s easy to do it the cheap way and get away with stuff — but it comes back around.

Today is a good day.

Targeting misinformation to vulnerable people to incite fear. Latinos, we fight this with truth, trust, and education.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Baseless social media messages to Latinos trying to delegitimize the election and the results for Joe Biden circulated online, part of a disinformation campaign to undermine Latino confidence in the vote as it unfolded. https://t.co/e0zBWFgJFW

Houston area voters re-elected Gonzalez after he supported bail reform, cleaned up the county jail, and provided aid to incarcerated people living with opioid use disorder. https://t.co/qRoAxUL9cY

@NPR @NPR please take the lead in not grouping all “Hispanics” together. We’ve been telling you forever. Take the time to understand this demographic.

Lack of a unified message and leadership, long-standing neglect of people’s access to healthcare, and more, culminating into real human tragedy. Texas, you continue to let your people down.

[Alfredo Corchado @ajcorchado]

On election day, #ElPaso is far from rounding the corner. A top physician worries about having to “ration healthcare.” Across border in #Juarez, authorities increasingly finding bodies inside home.

@AnandWrites Perhaps if he were a young, white, Kennedy-esqe, up-and-comer from Texas running for Senator or President, folks would care more about how to pronounce his “quirky” name?

And this is why I miss SA. They don't describe weather conditions in Austin in terms of menudo.

[BexarCountySevereWX @BexarCOSW]

We are declaring this Menudo Condition 2 - a big bowl of menudo or dozen tamales will be needed this evening...
