We’ve seen Dems go into November full of hope only to lose time and time again. The numbers are there for them. It’s about going out and getting the votes, no matter the cost or effort.
At least that’s my take based on growing up in Texas and hearing directly from progressive organizers frustrated with the state party and Latinos who had never been contacted by either major party. 🤷🏽♂️
FWIW, Dems don’t stand a chance in November unless they actually endorse more of the ground game and craft a winning message with Latino voters.
Me — jobless — following Texas election night results from Mexico…
Would expect a serious bump for her across the city, but mainly out of south Dallas and the ‘burbs to the south.
Judge ordered polls to stay open in dallas 2 additional hours. Everywhere else has started counting and uploading results.

My son has discovered the joys of Toy Story. He’s been sick for a few days and we’ve been watching all four films on repeat, leaving me to wonder about plot holes like…
Why doesn’t Woody remember he’s famous?
Why does Buzz pretend to be a toy if he thinks he’s a real space ranger?
We live in a world in which its entirely possible that Iran negotiations failed because people involved bet the under.
I don’t think I could’ve picked a better time to leave the United States.

Oh boy. Good thing AI has made its way into everything, from washing machines to top levels of the federal government.
About 80% of weapons recovered by Claudia Sheinbaum’s government have come from the U.S., Mexico’s national defense secretary said at a press briefing this morning when asked about the weapons found yesterday during the Mexican military’s operation against Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación.
Also, to confirm, I was told 18-month waitlists. Could’ve had a whole other kid for whom there’d still be no room. 🫠
I remember frantically calling daycares around Denver after our son was born and asking “Wait. Did you say 8-month or 18-month waitlist?”
Sure, we could’ve researched more, but that was quite the shock. We ended up having to enroll in an au pair program for almost two years.
I got ads for LALA queso and burger buns endorsed by Shaq, who spoke Spanish in the ad.
Watched the game from mexico. Does not sound like I missed out on quality ads this year. 😬
Thank god for Benito because this game sucks.
Who are any of these people?
I don't think that man said a single word in English and I love that for us
That’s America.
Love this for puertorriqueños and appreciate Bad Bunny sharing the space with the rest of us! ❤️
What fucking legend Bad Bunny is. Un héroe 🇵🇷
Don’t care who wins as long as the Patriots lose. 🤷🏽♂️
Then my spouse — who is very excited for Bad Bunny later — followed up with a banger a bit later saying “So that’s who’s playing…” after an ad for the game flashed on the TV screen.
My three-year-old just looked at me and said “Daddy, police officers don’t do work. Just firefighters and doctors.”
I mean… 🤷🏽♂️
Maybe the Seahawks will run the ball today…

Felicidades a mi amigo Benito, who came to see me and just me at work last year. 🐰
Frankly, we deserve it 🤷🏽♂️
I feel like I should have a soft spot for Denver given that my son was born there, but it feels really hard to root against Josh Allen. Sorry, Mile High friends.
