I’ll just set this here…

In which @mikemadrid.bsky.social explains what I've been saying this whole time: Latinos aren’t racial identity voters—they’re economic voters. They behave like working-class voters across every demographic because that’s primarily what they are." greattransformation.substack.com/p/there-was-...

I'm breaking down all the numbers and data from the polls and making sense of the election with data nerd @mikemadrid.bsky.social and we'll explain why trump lost all of his Latino support from 2024. In addition to losing independents and youth. Live Now. No Paywalls. thelefthook.substack.com

We have a new swing voter population, it appears. It will be interesting to see how Dems adjust their campaign rhetoric accordingly. (@mikemadrid.bsky.social is one expert on this issue.)

As old political systems die and something new emerges, I am reminded by the ancient knowledge that what truly exists has always been in that gray area between the living and the dead open.substack.com/pub/greattra...

Los Angeles suffered tremendously because of the wildfires. The president of the United States has wanted to make the immigrants who make the city suffer and declared war on the city. But all throughout it, L.A. makes it work daily. It’s a place where people go to make it. LA deserves this.

Listen to Molly 👇🏽

Again, Latino politics don’t work the way people think. Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, both immigration hawks, performed well with Latinos. Obama, the “deporter-in-chief,” did better with Latinos in 2012 than in 2008.

Here is another great discussion to check out - this one between @wajali.bsky.social and @mikemadrid.bsky.social Rescuing the country from oligarchy and fascism is not a tired framing of centrist vs. progressive Democrat. How do Democrats form a broad working-class coalition? youtu.be/pPor7tqQAkw

Eric is right. Latinos began turning on Trump because of tariffs and the economy SIX WEEKS BEFORE the ICE raids in Los Angeles

I’ve been busy this past weekend but wanted to contribute a few things to the discussion of the #NoKings protests. First let me highlight three essays that I think beautifully express what was accomplished. I particularly commend @mikemadrid.bsky.social’s post:

The awakening has begun open.substack.com/pub/greattra...

​Welcome to No Kings Eve. Trump is sounding and behaving kingly, and Republicans are at DEFCON 1 on the desperation meter. You can tell by their hallucinatory talking points, which are untethered from both reality and the Constitution. New from me at @msnbc.com: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Let me say it again louder for those in the back: Latino voters aren’t ideological voters! More evidence 👇🏽

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats: “Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“
