Your support helps us to tell the story
My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.
Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.
Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond

The final text messages sent between former lovers before they split up have been revealed on a blog dedicated to chronicling people's last spoken or written words.
The Last Message Received is a Tumblr blog that publishes anonymous submissions received by other netizens.
The texts sent and received by people who had just split up showed a full range of human emotion – from the heartbreaking, to the rude to the downright cold, and even some that were abusive.

The Loss
The person who submitted the screenshot above included this caption: "My best friend, my everything, my partner, my soulmate of 12 years died of an overdose the night of August 24. At around 11 pm that night, I felt a wave of sadness wash over me out of nowhere. I highly suspect this is when he died. The last text conversation we had was about how much I work.
I got the call at 11 am the next day, August 25. "
