Unless I missed something, there isn't a single Latino/Hispanic media leader/journalist in this @NYMag list. Really?? You can't possibly discuss the future of journalism without Latinos, the second largest racial or ethnic group in the US. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

On January 6, I got ready to defend my colleagues and texted my wife: “Whatever happens, I love you.” Ted Cruz was hiding in a supply closet. If you summon a mob to overturn a free and fair election, you should lose your job. This election is his accountability. #TXSenateDebate

In what is perhaps the most unhinged legal complaint I’ve read filed by actual lawyers, the extremist group America First Legal issues a conspiracy theorist rant on behalf of allegedly aggrieved white men in the legal academy where ppl of color occupy a mere 20% of all faculty.
