Imagine if we could have deployed the National Guard this quickly to test millions of people in March.

- Hey @CNN, @cindymccain is not the only reason that Biden won Arizona. It wasn't just that. Can you at least discuss the overwhelming Latino support and the organizing history of young Latinos in the time of SB1070?
- US news media is utterly predictable (yet again) when covering migration. Here we go again: sensationalized coverage of the "surge" without ANY real context of why Haitians are desperately fleeing their island nation. The reasons are deeply rooted in history for years. Wake up.
- AOC mentions "colonization" in her remarks. I don't think I have heard that word from a DNC convention primetime set of remarks ever. #DemocraticNationalConvention
00:00- Yes, you can be Latino AND a white supremacist. Yes, you can be Latino AND anti-migrant. This is nothing new. You just haven't been paying attention to years of commentary and writing about all this.
- Sorry but needs to be said: when @JulianCastro challenged Biden last debate, he was labeled as "mean" and it became a top story. When @PeteButtigieg challenged candidates tonight, he is being praised for his "passion." Angry Mayor Pete didn't play well. Sad to see. #DemDebate
- JUST IN: Just got confirmation from the office @SenSanders that he will be a Senate co-sponsor of the 2021 Puerto Rico Self-Determination Act. The Senate version of this act will be submitted to the Senate and the House tomorrow. #PuertoRico
- Two things here 1) @PaulaReidCBS with actual journalism 2) And the @CNN chryons too Then attack journalists. We need MORE of this. Now more than ever. Hold power accountable.I don't know this reporter's name. But man, she would not let up even in the face of President Trump's attacks.
00:00 - #PuertoRico has no power but American news media has told us that a funeral of a monarch is 1,000 times more important.
- 8 weeks out from trial will be sentencing. Bail is revoked. #ChauvinTrial
- This initial question by @billmaher to @JulianCastro is yet another example of what is wrong with white liberals. Good for Castro for not falling for that trap.
00:00 - After hanging out in #Detroit's predominantly Latino neighborhood the last two days, I was struck by how so many people kept telling me that they're all supporting @BernieSanders and that people should step back for a minute and wait until #MichiganPrimary is over next Tuesday.
- Taking a moment to remind fellow journalists that @jorgeramosnews was also kicked out of a @realDonaldTrump press conference during the campaign and the vast majority of you said Ramos was out of line and you did not defend him. Don't tell us that we didn't tell you so.
