The phenomenon of Puerto Rican transnational political impact could be lost.

I just don’t know if I can trust Biden to not go ahead with a statehood initiative.

These days, as the global repudiation of white supremacy grows stronger, I keep scratching my head at the number of fair-skinned, European-looking Latinx I know —of all political tendencies and both in the U.S. and in Latin America— who refuse to be called white.

In order to claim our standing as a true democracy, we must create an inclusive political system by educating and engaging the population of voters who have been historically excluded from political conversations and electoral decisions.

Sadly, this treatment of Latina, Indigenous and Black women is nothing new. The U.S. has a long history of forcibly sterilizing women from these communities.

Here at Latino Decisions, we believe the shifting demography of the Lone Star State will bear upon the presidential results in Texas in ways not seen since Ronald Reagan’s 1984 re-election.

Exclusivity is a powerful word and an even more powerful experience. As people of color in America, we learn about exclusion early on.

There is nothing inconsistent about Trump’s relationship with an older generation of largely conservative, mostly white Cubans.

Latinos have worked too hard and come too far as a people to let a master charlatan intent on usurping our democracy steal our destiny.

Global protests against racial injustice came on the heels of the pandemic, and Dominicans are now being publicly confronted with their Blackness.

During Hispanic Heritage Month, our communities’ contributions throughout American history are widely ignored while voices decrying the month dominate the conversation.

If it took a whistleblower for the public to know about these brutal hysterectomies, what else don’t we know?

A poll conducted by Climate Power 2020 in July showed that an overwhelming 77 percent of Latino voters support a message of bold climate action to fight the climate crisis.

The reality is that the Biden campaign has been struggling to connect with Latino voters ever since he announced his intent to run.

We are large, diverse, contradictory. The country has never taken the opportunity to get to know us. Perhaps that’s why they keep asking the same stupid questions. 

It’s time to stop shaming anyone who poses constructive criticism to the Democratic Party’s outreach strategy, especially when its people of color raising the red flags.

Screams have a powerful place in Mexican history.
