“We want to move this process. We can’t continue with a broken immigration system. It’s not good for anybody. It’s not good for American workers. It’s dangerous for Mexican would-be workers who are trying to cross a dangerous border.” President Obama

This is not just about history. This is still a relevant issue today. By honoring Columbus with a federal holiday, our government continues to vehemently insult Native Americans
and perpetuates a philosophy of racism and domination.
So please....
Please speak up, take a stand, and help eradicate Columbus' name from the federal calendar.
Take time to honor the people who were really here first by petitioning for a nationally recognized Indigenous holiday.
Pray for those around the world and right here in our own
country who are victims of exploitation and racism.

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. Read it.

The Puerto Rican Diaspora

I come this morning to my protest to make a passionate plea to my beloved nation. This sermon is not addressed to Hanoi, or to the National Liberation Front. It is not addressed to China or to Russia, nor is it an attempt to overlook the ambiguity of the total situation and the need for a collective solution to the tragedy of Vietnam. This morning however I wish not to speak with Hanoi, the National Liberation Front, but rather to my fellow Americans, who bear the greatest responsibility in ending a conflict that has exacted a heavy price on both continents.

For Spaniards — and for the world — nothing has expressed their country's traditionally rigid gender roles more powerfully than the image of the male matador. So sacred was the bullfighter's masculinity to Spanish identity that a 1908 law barred women from the sport. Ella Es el Matador reveals the surprising history of the women who made such a law necessary and offers fascinating profiles of two female matadors currently in the arena: the acclaimed Mari Paz Vega and neophyte Eva Florencia.

Let's face it. To the world at large, being gay is a terrible thing to be. People whisper the word, gossip about it, trade in innuendos about it, as if being gay were a crime. Read it.

7 May 2010: At the Wells faculty and trustee meeting students stood outside to witness. A student petition to meet with trustees that was signed by 364 students (in a college of about 500 students) was denied. A faculty member read the student petition to the Board of Trustees. Faculty and Staff also wrote and signed resolutions and petitions which were also read to the BOT. All who signed (and many who are too vulnerable to sign because they could lose their jobs) agree that the process of "restructuring" has been exclusive with a complete lack of transparency. There is both an economic and a governance crisis here.

I was watching Jay Leno the other night, when I bumped into the following commercial -entirely in Spanish. For a second I thought I had sat down on my remote and the channel had switched back accidentally to Univision. But… nope. This ad was running on NBC and is still airing on most English-language nets. Read it.
