    I truly think the scale of how horrified the Latino community is right now is not being understood, which is why the reporting about this moment is so important. So a quick story. I was chatting w/ a friend I met through the course of my work and she told me she had been crying.

        Her husband was at the community pool and a group of white men said they thought the killing went too far but they agreed with some of the stuff the shooter stood for, like making sure whites aren’t wiped out and Hispanics take over. This was in the ruby red city of...Los Angeles

        It is incumbent upon us to include Latino and immigrant and Mexican voices in our reporting, and to have Latino reporters included in the reporting and listened to in the decision-making, and to not minimize this as business as usual.

        Many reporters get to go home after talking to suffering people or writing a heavy story and everything is fine. They get to dip into this world and then quickly evacuate.

        If we want to do our best job now we have to truly listen and understand this isn’t just a sad moment that will pass, but the culmination of an anti-immigrant four decades in politics, that has only become louder, emboldened, and unchecked by American leaders.

        Now Hispanic Americans have been targeted, some who are immigrants, and all who have limited political power. That’s what’s going on. And people are terrified.

        Obviously, I shared this all because I want folks to know what’s going on. But I would also add, the level of community, of people checking in on each other, and sharing how they’re feeling has been really incredible. People are scared but resolute things will get better.

        This thread is heavy. A moment of levity: I talked to my small mom today, an immigrant who’s lived in NYC for 50 years. She’s feisty so I asked what she would say if someone told her not to speak Spanish? “I’m Hispanic and I’m proud of it, what are you going to do about it?” 🤦🏽‍♂️
