Our New Anahuac

I have to admit that I have a growing respect for what conservative activists have been able to accomplish. At times, I have even envied the disproportionate influence they have wielded. With more regularity, I have felt a great disrespect for the Democratic Party. I decided to take a look at why. Don’t get me [...]

Late last year, I posted about The United Farmworker’s Union (UFW) and their campaign against Giumarra, the largest table grape company in the world.  Being that the UFW was home to Cesar Chavez, whom certain conservatives are literally trying to write out of the history books, I thought this update would be important.  Please [...]

Animal In Man: Tio Taco Mozo Scum Watch Out. We’re watching you. The feeling of community betrayal is an emotion with which you have not yet been forced to reckon.

First and foremost, thank you to Citlali Chavana, who is typing this post for her jefito due to his broken pinky. No doubt she will one day be a great writer/fashion designer/actress/whatever she wants to be.
Last Fridayish, Attorney General Eric Holder held a press conference in which he explained why some of the 9-11 criminals would [...]

Anti-immigrant politician, and now official chickenhawk, couldn’t take some of his own medicine and whimpers off set in a nationally-aired debate with Markos Moulitsas.  I guess nothing has really gone right for the right lately.  Maybe they’re losing their animal testosterone injections with the impending healthcare reform bill.  I don’t really know, but what else can [...]

The Brown Berets and other organizations are gearing up for a protest against Larry Whitten of the Whitten Inn in Taos, New Mexico to protest his controversial employment practices in which he required all of his employees to speak only English in his presence.  He even went so far as to require that employees either [...]

On election day, let us review some basic strategy.
I wrote a post in August about the futility of true progressives pledging continued loyalty to the Democratic Party. The post was in reference to several reports which concluded that Obama’s immigration policy was worse for our community than Bush’s policies. However, you can substitute almost any issue that [...]

The historic United Farm Workers, organizing home to Cesar Chavez, has launched a new campaign targeting Giumarra, the world’s largest table grape company.  The company employs over 3500 pickers, and it picks one out of every ten bunches of grapes picked in the US. Still the company does not have a union contract with its [...]
