I appreciate you. I am glad it's resonating with people and I hope it helps a lot of my fellow Latinos understand that we can work together towards a better future and don't need to be against each other

This is an awesome article, Sylvia. You should submit it to the NY Times or the Washington Post. I think you have a better chance with the NY Times! It is really well written. ¡WEPA!

Thank you, Lourdes. I am going to have to look into that because it never even occurred to me that I could do that :)

¡Sí! Lo debes intentar. Está muy bien escrito. Cualquiera puede someter una opinión - debes incluir con el artículo un "bio" - creo que es una oportunidad. Yo sé que NY Times tiene un público de lectores hispanos. Muchas veces los artículos están disponibles en español y en chino.

Looked into it. Sadly, I can only do that if it's never been published anywhere else so this won't qualify:

"Essays must be original and exclusive to The New York Times — meaning they cannot have appeared elsewhere in any form in print or online"

PERO I'm glad you liked it!

Well, you should think about writing an essay and send it to them... I just want to put that bee in your bonnet. I am currently in New Orleans dog sitting fro my daughter and just today went to the World War II museum here. It was an emotional experience. I had never been there before. They had a whole film presentation on FDR's 4 freedoms speech... Freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from fear, freedom from want. This administration clearly is against all of these freedoms. https://www.fdrlibrary.org/four-freedoms
