News With Nezua | War By Other Means

News With Nezua | War By Other Means

THE LONG WAR. The Longest War the USA has been engaged in is not with Afghanistan. It is with Truth. It is against Truth. It is the war for White Supremacy, and it takes many shapes over time and yet never owns up to its own name: War. Waged by other means.

News With Nezua | All These Walls Will Fall

THE WORLD GROWS CHAOTIC, humankind too often not heeding lessons, and all around is the feeling we must do something about everything. Walls spring up, oil spills out, violence creeps in and how is an engaged activist to keep centered in the face of all of it?

News With Nezua | D for Determined

THE PASSING OF ARIZONA’S SB 1070 stirs up an already simmering pot of cultural conflict, just as a steady beat of enforcement rhetoric and punitive fearful talk about Mexicans lends itself to increased tension and eventually, violence. Democratic politicians and advocacy groups don’t help matters, even as they pose as champions. It’s you and me and community. We simply cannot depend on anything or anyone else.

News With Nezua | Thanking Arizona

WE OWE ARIZONA OUR THANKS for passing a series of persecutory laws over time that finally culminate in today’s cultural crisis. Boycotts, civil disobedience, and righteous outrage are sweeping the country as this self-proclaimed nation of immigrants is engaged in a fight over its heart and soul.

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?

News With Nezua | The Long Walk

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.
