IT’S ABOUT RHYTHM. It’s about flow. It’s about an inner-guided and inspired voice, communication. Expression. Connection. But what is left out when we plug into a current that demands no lull?
THE WHITE HOUSE claims it wants “humane enforcement,” and then washes its hands of those hurt or killed in their detention centers. Hate groups are recruiting record numbers of members, Nativist groups are doctoring polls, and amidst the hostility and fakery, four brave undocumented students are walking over a thousand miles to make their case to Washington.
THE WAR ON POVERTY. The War on Drugs. The War on Terrorism. Is it safe to say the USA loves war? Is it more accurate to say the USA is war? Could the nation exist as we know it were we not maintaining a War on Truth every day?
WHY DO REPUBLICANS SUPPORT WHITE-WING TERRORISM? How is Arizona giving police more power to apprehend Latinos than exists anywhere else in the nation right now? And how did your trip to Vancouver go, Nezua?
IF YOU CAN STAND THE FUN, sit yaself back and enjoy this Arpaio-Only edition of News With Nezua!
AN EXCLUSIVE VIDEO from Cuéntame featuring the recently freed Alex Sanchez, of Homies Unidos.
OBAMA AND THE TIGHTROPE. Zeituni in the cold. Hypocrisy in the land of anthems. The power of youth…ignored. A shout out to Cuéntame, the soothing nature of certain samenesses, and the creeping chill of ICE.
IN HIS STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS, President Obama speaks but “Thirty Eight Words” on Immigration Reform and judging from more than one source in the blogosphere, they weren’t extremely inspiring. Others were happy to hear immigration reform mentioned at all in the SOTU. But combined with the inaction so far on immigration reform, many activists and organizations are feeling daunted.
THE MARCH AND RALLY on January 16, 2010 in Maricopa County, Arizona to protest the criminal Sheriff Joe Arpaio, reviled for his racial profiling tactics, his gratuitously cruel and humiliating conditions for detention, and his embarrassing anachronistic and race-based antagonism against entire communities.
Haiti, Pundits, Presidents, Revolution, Earthquake, and ghosts in the machine.
VISUAL AND AUDITORY MEDITATIONS on hue, shape, purpose…being an artist. And featuring the work of Chicano artist Luis Gutierrez, of Arizona, USA.
EL PINCHE TACO! Also, supporting community, gearing up for immigration reform, and a national day of action in Arizona!
Seeing the year out with tradition, art, hope, and a connection across time and space.
IN THIS ERA of shifting cultural demographics and a shrinking white population, some heroes are gettin’ paid to be the Enlightened Whites. Unfortunately, too often this means repeating oppressive power structures but under the guise of altruism.
JOE ARPAIO is back in the news for being a class A sadist and creep as well as vindictively wielding the power of his office to attack those who dare question his methods. That, and a lot more in this extra meaty version of News With Nezua.
House of Nezua
the XOLAGRAFIK theater!
