INTRODUCING Naco and Nico! And a new cartoon called Avenida Almasol, which takes place in a ‘hood where magical thoughts, connections, and adventures are always around the bend.
Remembering Marcelo Lucero, killed in Patchogue not long ago. For being a “Beaner.”
I’M TRYING TO IMAGINE what the GOP strategy is anymore when it comes to our nation of many peoples….
IN THIS “SECOND GOLD RUSH,” where it seems every store, site, and organization is moving forward quickly to access “The Latino Market,” and keeping in mind the arrival of Latino/Hispanic Heritage Month, it seems a good time to consider the question: What does it mean to be “Latino” today? Another chapter in the News With Nezua narrative.
FOR A SHORT, SUNNY, MOMENT when talk this year turned toward recession (and even while documenting signs of it in my own area), I hoped I might be insulated from the effects. At least to the extent that I could continue my way of living: writing and doing artwork for money and having enough time in all of that to stay sane.

Even as business began to drop off, I reasoned that it was fine.

A VLOG featuring various headlines on current Immigration News. Border Guards sentence commuted, violence in Mexico now even disturbing economic bloggers, Immigrants and allies march on ICE headquarters—with original footage of the march itself.
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. It is easy to forget this in the midst of much rigid talk of maps, borders, and walls. But reality is knocking at our door.
THE USA SEEMS TO BE A LAND constantly struggling with her own stated precepts and ideals. The so-called “Great Melting Pot” that my teachers told me about in grade school does not brew an easy mix, but one that is constantly bubbling and boiling and in turns hissing and spilling onto the heat.
