These fierce women came to the US from México City to help us fight fires. Look at those red lips! ( @AOC would be proud) That collective strength. I'm here for all of it.

Gen Z Latinx Tik Tok is all I need on this day. 😂 Doing a "brujeria" (witchcraft) on their computers to make swing states blue. This generation is everything.

Messy hair hiking and camping in Big Sur for the win. Oh, and... and an engagement with an ethically sourced and environmentally sustainable pink gem, of course! 💍💕

Here @WSJ - I fixed it for you. “The media doesn’t understand Tejanos or Mexicans, Mexican-Americans too so we clumped them for you. They are all the same to us”

Joe Biden won South Texas border counties—but just barely. Latinos, mostly lifelong Democrats, moved to President Trump in record numbers. Here's why.

Grateful for a Latina therapist who is bilingual. Today, especially so, I needed to express myself in both of the languages - it is part of my intersectional existence. The session today allowed me to describe emotions in Spanish. Yes, sometimes I feel only in Spanish.

José my paletero is still coming around. I don’t have the heart to tell him I don’t need as many paletas given the weather but he saves my favorite ones still. Sometimes I don't have cash and he just says "la proxima Laurita!" and still gives them to me. 😭

I’m at my mama’s and my niece just yelled “El presidente!” When Biden came on. Even a six year old knows! Call it already NV, AZ, PA, GA! Por favor.

I am so done with journalists lumping South Florida Latinos (Cubans, Venezuelans) with other Latinos...I'm so over it.

"Someone is going to get killed." A Republican election official from Georgia is so over with 45's threat to democracy while inciting violence. Hear that @jack ?

@karlitaliliana Would the Belonging part be "belong to the CEO's so-called apolitical libertarian views on being 'mission-driven?"

“Yes, we know you’ve been flagging him, but flagging doesn’t help — it attracts more attention and more engagement. One flagged tweet has almost half a million likes and retweets.”  @laura and I on why Trump should be suspended from Twitter

I'm home after knocking on doors for Biden in Arizona. I have many thoughts and observations so look for a tweet thread in the future for sure. But for now I'm just gonna have a bath, paleta and a long nap. I'll leave you with this photo in the meanwhile. 🐾 🐶

I ate my mom’s tacos fritos for dinner and registered her to vote as a thank you. Helping democracy one taco at a time.
