“All we are is essentially other people’s collective effort.”
When my immigrant, farm-working parents see my name in @washingtonpost, they will essentially see their hard work, sacrifices, and themselves in one of the most important newspapers in the country.
That’s so dope!

OMG, watch @PressSec's response to this reporter.
"We don't take our advice or counsel from former President Trump."

Esta entrevista de @andersoncooper con @TheAmandaGorman es luminosa. Cuenta como una niña que tenía dificultades para hablar termina convertida en la estrella de la posesión presidencial en EEUU, y comparte el mantra que repite cada vez que va a recitar.

America, I’m honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country.
The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not.
I will keep the faith that you have placed in me.

Inventor of the Dishwasher: I HAVE CREATED SOMETHING THAT WILL MAKE ALL YOUR LIVES EASIER.
Humanity: WHOA. So we just put dirty dishes in and it cleans them?
IoDW: Um, no. You need to wash them first.
H: Uh...
IoDW: Not thoroughly. Just, like, what you'd do if you were drunk.

Following the New Zealand terror attack, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced new, stricter gun laws. How will these laws compare to the rest of the world? We’ve made an interactive map exploring gun laws in 20 different countries to compare.

I find it revealing when people mock where I came from, & say they’re going to “send me back to waitressing,” as if that is bad or shameful.
It’s as though they think being a member of Congress makes you intrinsically “better” than a waitress.
But our job is to serve, not rule.

If you’re a working professional at #NICAR19 take time to talk to some of the students there this year. We have to support the next generation of data journalists.

“There’s power in identity and expertise in lived experience.” - @eman_thedataman’s lightning talk at #nicar19 was awesome. Inclusive newsrooms get to work with communities and tell the stories that matter to them.

Yesterday night, I had the privilege of hearing my dad speak about when he worked as a youth advocate for Buene Gente in the late 1970s. In a time where police often harassed anyone who looked Hispanic, my dad mentored #Chicano adolescents throughout #SantaAna. #OrangeCounty
