Here is what @freepress.bsky.social said in response to today's temporary halt to the $111 billion Paramount Skydance-Warner Bros. Discovery merger.

Via @variety.com A judge ordered a temporary halt to the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger on Monday, as a state coalition argues it would violate federal antitrust law, leading to higher prices and fewer movies and TV shows.

Julio, why produce an #AmericanColony podcast series? Another answer below: U.S. Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) introduced the End Birthright Citizenship for Territories Act.

I have a baseball season again.

The July 17 edition of The Latino Newsletter is by @juliorvarela.com A New Poll About Statehood for Puerto Rico Is Out 68% of Hispanic voters and 71% of Puerto Ricans back statehood, according to a survey commissioned by a pro-statehood group

I LOVE THIS Q&A about the new BARRIO TELEVISION doc. The 92nd edition of PressingIssues.org from @freepress.bsky.social ‘Barrio Television’ Broke the Mold Christina DiPasquale is making sure this important moment of media activism isn’t forgotten

This is a pattern of manipulation: stripping away every detail of a human’s life until all that’s left is “illegal alien,” because it’s easier to kill someone once you have already decided they were never fully a person to begin with.

New opinion from me for @ms.now Immigration policy through continued militarized enforcement will only lead to more deaths.

You may or may not know this, but I started my journalism career as a sportswriter back in the late 80s, so whenever I get to narrate a sports audio show, it's a good day!

Baseball hits. Always has. #AllStarGame

New Pressing Issues! @juliorvarela.com interviews the community-driven journalists scooping major newsrooms on coverage of ICE killings. Plus the big news of the State AGs challenging Paramount Skydance ...

The 91st edition of Pressing Issues from @freepress.bsky.social focuses on @lulacorg.bsky.social's new digital-only newsroom, El Grito Media, and how they are covering the recent tragedies in Houston and Biddeford. El Grito in the Time of ICE Killings

Already not enjoying @netflix.com #HomeRunDerby coverage. Camera angles are annoying.

Failure of a @usmnt.ussoccer.com run. Terrible effort tonight. #WorldCup

In the first episode of #AmericanColony, @juliorvarela.com and @nuriapuntonet.bsky.social begin to unravel the 128-year-old colonial history of Puerto Rico and the United States. This history started in 1898 and was cemented by racist Supreme Court decisions known as the Insular Cases.

In the prologue episode of American Colony, hosts @juliorvarela.com and @nuriapuntonet.bsky.social ask: What does it mean that Puerto Rico is still a colony?

The pre-launch of our #AmericanColony podcast continues A Colonial Timeline From 1999 to 2026 by @juliorvarela.com Follow us for updates on the podcast!

One more day!

Let's go.

MASSIVE! Tillman.

It's never easy, @usmnt.ussoccer.com.

I have been thinking a lot about how I got here, both in terms of Puerto Rico and my journalistic body of work. This Saturday, AMERICAN COLONY, @thelatinonewsletter.org's most ambitious project yet, will launch. On July 4.

The 90th edition of Pressing Issues from @freepress.bsky.social by Cristina Escobar Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw says we must ‘resist the stories that we’re being told that tell us that there’s nothing that we can or should do to change the circumstances’

USMNT still USMNTs. Win or go home next time but that last group stage game was disappointing.

The June 24 edition The Latino Newsletter is by @juliorvarela.com The American Colony Episode Lineup Is Here The launch is less than two weeks away

Here are the episode breakdowns of AMERICAN COLONY from @thelatinonewsletter.org and Shake It Easy Media

NEW OUR COPA EPISODE OUT!

"If Marco Rubio is the nominee for President, [Democrats] are in trouble," @gallego.senate.gov says at @thelatinovote.bsky.social summit when @mikemadrid.bsky.social asks Gallego about 2028.

"There is no national party without Latinos," @gallego.senate.gov says about Democrats. You need to meet them where they are at, he notes, and not where you want them to be. The Obama Latino support years have passed. #LVS2026

Now @gallego.senate.gov talks during the lunch chat at @thelatinovote.bsky.social summit.

Now speaking at @thelatinovote.bsky.social summit: Sen. Alex Padilla

Listening to communities instead of data is critical to reaching these communities and just relying on data alone is not enough. That's the takeaway of this next @thelatinovote.bsky.social summit session.

Watching @carlosodio.bsky.social talking data and Latino voters at the first @thelatinovote.bsky.social summit! Thank you to @mikemadrid.bsky.social and @chuckrocha.bsky.social for inviting me to the summit.

We just got another donor to @thelatinonewsletter.org for $600. Someone who believes in the work we do. We are now just 57% away from making our goal! Get us to a third year!

The Latino Newsletter's birthday campaign is now at 40% of target. Thanks to the 36 supporters who have given. Getting us to 100% would be HUGE. Give at bit.ly/SupportTLN

I am writing to all of you to update you on where my work is happening these days. Yes, I was inspired by the Knicks' Finals win, and I keep watching a lot of World Cup games. Here goes:

This Messi guy is good.
