I'm off to BlueSky @russcontreras.bsky.social Twitter (X) is filled with too many bigots and trolls.

Watch this. Here's a piece I wrote
last year about the myth of the open border. It's accurate. It also got me death threats. Watch replies now

Not on X anymore because of the vile antisemitism and racism here but I'm jumping on to support my @Axios colleague and world class journalist @BarakRavid The disgusting antisemitism is out of control and people should know better. He'll let the journalism do the talking.

It was just a matter of time until the Antisemites come out of their filthy holes and join the campaign of lies against me. The classic tropes: Mossad, controlling the world, trying to make money. Decent people here should come out publicly against this kind of hate

Many of us are still mourning the shutdown of @axios' #Latino/#Latina newsletter. Wishing all of its contributors, including @astridgalvan & @RussContreras a prosperous 2025. Continue to shine the light on our community's growing impact on the U.S.

@astridgalvan @danielggarza And here you are again @danielggarza getting quoted in Axios Latino. Your boy @wadijr was always pitching you. https://t.co/YtPKgohOq1

[Russell Contreras @RussContreras]

@astridgalvan Yes, you were even interviewed on an Axios Latino live events and I tapped you for your thoughts many stories. I have no idea what happened to you @danielggarza https://t.co/EoAFkGdfvd

[Astrid Galván @astridgalvan]

I'm sorry, you and your organization were featured in it many times. Seems like something the president of a Latino-focused organization should know?? https://t.co/4Hg3I5Soc5

@nicoleMfoy Gracias, hermana. People need to read their history!

[Nicole Foy @nicoleMfoy]

Why is @RussContreras always reading my mind...

You read any history of the Chicano movement or the UFW or something & there's a chapter on that time leaders called INS on folks they felt threatened the movement

Immigration is not always a uniting theme

Decades ago, anti-immigrant sentiment was the status quo among many Latino civil rights leaders, even as they fought discrimination and segregation.

So growing Latino support for some of President-elect Trump's harsh immigration policies is nothing new https://t.co/EQTysqbbFp

Shirley Chisholm was the first black woman to seek a major-party nomination for president of the U.S. in 1972. But did you know that Patsy Mink was the first Asian American to run for president that same year? A Black woman and AAPI woman ran 52 years ago h/t @NialaBoodhoo

The @AuschwitzMuseum will mark in January the 80th anniversary of the liberation as aging Holocaust survivors urge the world to recognize signs of potential genocides and racial violence, but the museum tries to avoid addressing specific current conflicts https://t.co/SPYw7AuEwH

New: Harris is the "no comment" candidate — purposely and strategically—calculating it's safer to be vague on some policies than hit as a flip-flopper or left-winger.

We asked about over 12 of her past stances the past 2 months.

The no comment list:

Worth the watch: The last 4 of our congressional candidate conversations air tonight on @NMinFocus. A note on this year's election coverage: We would've been sunk w/o our correspondents. Thanks to @RussContreras and especially to my longtime friend & coconspirator @GwynethDoland.
