It’s Friday, the 13th! Though custom compels us to be extra superstitious today, I’m seeing signs that good things may be on the horizon. Finally, White House leaks say that Trump is finally, though grudgingly, accepting his election defeat. That’s not to say that Trump will do his best to cause damage before he leaves but accepting his eventual fate is a hopeful sign. Among the interesting and must-read articles listed today, I start off with a compelling headline that questions, “Is it time to retire the term ‘The Latino Vote?'” While some will applaud that and reiterate Latinos are not a homogenous group, I wonder just how much political power we give up when we burst that illusion. Something to think about. As always, Go beyond the headlines…
