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?
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.
THIS THANKSGIVING, like every other day, we should keep in mind the agricultural system that brings food to our tables. It is a system of people, after all. Let us give thanks to the low-wage workers, many of them immigrant and refugee, who make it possible to have such feasts.
SENDING LOU DOBBS OFF with all the respect he has earned.
MAKING SENSE OF SINSEMILLA. This week’s News With Nezua looks back on the history of Marijuana, the racism involved with its prohibition, and how that prohibition still plays out as oppression on people of color.

I’VE BEEN FOLLOWING NEWS FROM MEXICO for a few years now, and as I’m sure you know, most US media ignores Mexico, and to our detriment. This is baffling to me because our cultures, our land, our labor, and our peoples are so intertwined as to be two parts of one whole.
