Great piece by @mikemadrid.bsky.social. I was in Mexico City on Dec. 11, the night people gather in the church of the virgin to sing las mañanitas at midnight. The pilgrimage was impressive. Republicans now don’t get this and that is why Hispanics will prevail. open.substack.com/pub/greattra...

I am not seeing many Trump flags at all on boats in Dana Point harbor. The only other time in the last decade they’ve been down like this is after January 6th. Huh.

Rich OC people don’t want to be publicly associated with him anymore I guess. Nothing to see here! 🤡🤡

Ten years ago yesterday, I published my first piece about autism. It sent me on the trajectory to write about autism as my second job, write my first book and now my second book. I still have the emails people sent to me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Good thread here by @mikemadrid.bsky.social over at The Other Place. Latinos have always struck me as the most optimistic demographic around. This year is better than last year and next year will be even better. This turnaround seems important.
