BACK FROM MIAMI AND LITTLE HAITI, where I attended an international symposium on Immigration Coverage in Media and met a host of fantastic people as well as experienced numerous interesting, challenging, exciting, and enlightening moments.
JETTING OUT MIAMI WAY to attend an international panel on immigration, and how it is covered in the US ethnic media vs. Europe’s ethnic media vs both mainstream media systems. Thanks to the French-American Foundation.
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.
WALLS IN THE MIND, WALLS IN THE DESERT. Ritual and roles. Bodies and souls. You can contain another’s with a show of force, but it will be at the cost of imprisoning your own.
IT’S MAY DAY 2010! We take to the streets to support the fair treatment of all, to share strength, and to reject SB 1070 and all similar attacks on our communities. Also, happy birthday to UMX!
ARIZONA, the State of Denial, has spun into a legislative carnival of lunacy with the latest ethnic cleansing maneuver. Teachers with accents will be barred from teaching English, and Chicano Studies linked to terrorism/revolution and banned from schools.
ALL GUESTS AT THE ZOO and some imagine they are the keepers when they are the caged. They hoot like monkeys and point with rage.
IF A STATE WANTS TO RETURN TO AN ERA that the rest of the Union decided to move past long ago, then perhaps they ought to be allowed to bootstrap themselves into oblivion.
WITH ALL THE INTENSITY of SB 1070 being passed, and all the vile spirits unleashed unto the online comment threads, and with all the heartache that witnessing such injustice brings—Stephen Colbert offers us a much-needed laugh and break in the action.
A SMALL BUT INSISTENT FACTION of this nation’s populace, have today, indeed “taken back the country.” Taken us back to revisit the spirit of our country’s ugliest moments with the passing of Senate Bill 1070 in Arizona.
THE TUMMY OF WHITE SUPREMACY grumbles and pitches in the late hour, rousing one sleepy but temporarily revelatory pundit and sending him to his keyboard where he invents the Very Simple Solution to his aggravated belly; a drastic recipe to blanch the cocoalicious arc of this nation.
WE ARE SERENADED and handled by sociopathically-skilled master paraders. The Good Cop/Bad Cop dynamic shuttles us from room to room eliciting the desired confession and appropriate gratitude. Meanwhile, the People dance and still struggle, while the sun turns Glenn Beck’s tears into blood diamonds.
![Indivisible [Thoughts on the Immigration Rally in DC]](http://theunapologeticmexican.org/elmachete/wp-content/themes/UMXRevolutionarysRag/thumb.php?src=http://theunapologeticmexican.org/elmachete/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/HORIZindivisible.jpg&w=372&h=100&zc=1&q=95)
TO GIVE YOU A PEEK INTO THE IMMIGRATION RALLY that I attended on Sunday in Washington, DC, I’ve embedded a slideshow of the fotos I took. Come time for the next News With Nezua, I’ll have a video for you to watch. I can only hope that I can convey to you some of the energy that was filling the National Mall.
A BUBBLING STEW OF JUSTICE is on the stove! Who is minding it? Who hears the whistle as the steam builds? Who out there in the political wilds is carrying kindling? Nezua takes a look in the Weekly Undocument, rounding up Immigration and Latino news like only he do!
A SPIRIT THAT MOVES AMONG OUR PEOPLE and means to do great harm to many of us cloaks itself in many shapes. An extreme aversion to what is perceived as cultural shifts in the USA hides behind ideas of patriotism or English-fetish and manifests as cruelty.
House of Nezua
the XOLAGRAFIK theater!
