🚚🔥This afternoon, the @CityofMorganHil Fire Department quickly extinguished a vehicle fire near Hwy 101 and Dunne Avenue.
🙏 Thank you to all drivers who slowed down and drove safely through the area while our crews were working. #MorganHill #TrafficSafety #MHFD #CALFIRE

Turns out this was my last shoot, I was laid off from @ABC today. I got to produce at the White House with @MariaESalinas, an anchor I grew up watching. Truly a dream come true. Need a bilingual producer/shooter? DM me 🎥🫡
My top pick panel for today because I need to catch up with the youths. #NAHJ2023
Garcia noted that most coverage of AI is negative. But if we only focus on the negative, we risk boosting mistrust or misinformation especially in the Latino community around tech. Especially with an upcoming presidential election, we want our audience as informed as possible…
A @nytimes reporter in the room (I think it was @FrancesRobles?) asked the panelists what Google is doing to ensure that AI doesn’t eliminate our jobs as journalists. Not sure the answer placated anyone in the room.
Kicking off #NAHJ2023 with an incredible panel covering immigration and politics at the @ABC storytellers summit. @ABCMireya @GarciaReports @ABCscholz Renata Bozzetto from the @FLImmigrant & special guest, Blas Nuñez-Neto, @DHSgov head of Border and Immigration Policy.
In the last two years— migrants from Mexico and the northern triangle are less than half of encounters with @DHSgov. Most encounters nowadays are Venezuela, Cuba, India, China.
That’s a fundamental shift in migration.
Campaigns for 2024 are in full force and lots of candidates are doing photo ops at the border. @ABCMireya asks the panel, why is that? @ABCscholz with the quote of the day: immigration is the piñata in politics. If you hit it hard enough, the candy (votes) will fall out.

VICE Union is devastated by today's mass layoffs affecting dozens of unit members and around 100 employees overall. These workers are suffering the consequences of years of poor decisions they played no part in.

Arrived to S Turkey yesterday & never saw scenes like these before. Whole streets across Hatay province have entire families under rubble. Every single person has lost someone. 2 people were rescued after 63 hours under rubble in freezing cold— small miracles in the devastation.
