@mikemadrid.bsky.social urges Democrats not to play dirty politics—just win back working-class Latino voters. “All of these problems go away if we get the Latino Vote back to 2020 levels.”

Latino voters keep growing in power, but campaigns still hire non-Latino firms to run Latino outreach.

@chuckrocha.bsky.social keeps it real:
"Will anything truly change no matter what the district lines are, if the same people run the show?”

5 Democratic Seats on the Line in Texas! 🔵🚨

@chuckrocha.bsky.social explains how Texas Republicans redrew districts to target the Valley, Dallas, Houston, and Austin—putting up to five Democratic seats at risk. #redistricting

But will this gamble on Latino districts hold?

“Messing with redistricting is abhorrent. It’s immoral. It’s rigging the system.” - @mikemadrid.bsky.social

Gerrymandering erodes trust, undermines democratic institutions, and signals desperation from the GOP heading into a tough election cycle.

@ericmgarcia.bsky.social uncovers the truth behind Trump’s “no tax on tips” promise. While it may sound like a win for working-class—read the fine print. With income caps, expiration dates, and permanent cuts for the rich, the working stiffs get crumbs while the wealthy cash in.
