WE BEGIN, but do not end, with the sensational incident where the Obama White House, under Trumpian pressure, produced for public inspection the President’s “long form” birth certificate. I do not know how successful I will be in my attempts to navigate the journey, but I think it’s important to move from an immediate feeling [...]
WE RETURN with a call for action! The DREAM Act is up for a vote. Despite the fact that as usual, politicians play cynical games of expediency with people’s lives, there is cause for enthusiasm and happiness. So get on that phone! Also featuring the vaunted political Beer Test.
GIVE ME THE WIND, the water, and the touch of someone close. And give me stories. Stories of clear-eyed humans, of paths lined with golden wheat that sways in the sun, trod by brave souls undertaking important journeys.
IN POLITICS, PHRASES ARE HURLED ABOUT with a repetition that becomes a song; a pattern of mouthsounds spelling out a sonic shape with a predictable, recurrent, and lulling rhythm. Mind, you, the message is a lie, but the beat is so on time, that we find our feet stepping along in a shuffling, delusional line.
A TIMELESS TACTIC practiced by the oppressor is to burn the pages of all your history books. To shatter your statues and to destroy your icons of hope and power. Today in Arizona, these age-old methods play out yet again. But they cannot stop us, nor the truth of our peoples.
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.
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.
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.

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.
TODAY, Representative Gutierrez introduced the CIR ASAP Reform Immigration bill. What are the particulars of the bill right now? This, and notes on the media teleconference call Monday that SEIU held, announcing Gutierrez’ bill.
WHERE LIES OUR TRUE FIGHT? With people of different skin tones? With people who use different word sounds to express their dreams, their pain, their hope, their hunger? Or with those who move hugely and cloaked over with flag and legal document, drawing blood worldwide?
THIS STORM is unfolding as it will, and we are yet to see how it will end. The electricity feels threatening at times. But here is a chance, now, finally to talk about the things we need to talk about. Which means the chance to make real change.
TEMPORARILY PUSHED OFF the White House agenda, nonetheless, the immigration issue continues to affect people every day in the United States, and in many ways sometimes unseen.
YOU CAN TELL THE DINOSAURS of our culture. They are the ones who continue to try and act out decrepit cultural values the rest of us banished long ago. Joe Arpaio is one.
House of Nezua
the XOLAGRAFIK theater!
