After Mexicans both young and old took to the streets the weekend of May 18 in #MarchaYoSoy132 (with the variations #MarchaAntiEPN, #MarchaAntiPRI, and #YoSoy132) to protest the PRI, Mexico's oldest ruling political party, and its 2012 presidential candidate Enrique Peña Nieto,  a second series of marches are scheduled for June 10. This time, #2daMarchaAntiEPN will include a scheduled […]

Can this get any more surreal? Really? We mean, really? Looks like Rebecca Black, the annoying teenage singer who ruined YouTube last year with “Friday,” was in Mexico today telling people that PRI presidential candidate Enrique Peña Nieto would be a good choice for President of Mexico. This is the same candidate who is facing […]

To all of those who might have rolled their eyes a bit when the peeps from EastWillyB said they were going to raise $50,000 in 50 days to fund the show's second season, well we are here to tell you that nothing is impossible. As of tonight, the EastWillyB-ers have raised over $38,000 (76% of […]

This morning in Denver, before the opening session of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) convention, over 1,000 people marched from the Convention Center to the Wells Fargo building.  Taking themes from the Occupy movement, the march was seen as a call for the 1% to "pay their fair share" of taxes, as well as calling […]

Tonight on our stream, the Twitter account for OccupyWallSt tweeted out the following: To those who think the movement continues to get weaker, it looks like it is just getting started.

What started out as a few images shared on social media is beginning to grow. A "No se puede" campaign has been organized by the Watsonville Brown Berets, which is demanding that the United Farm Workers (UFW), co-founded by César Chávez and Dolores Huerta, apologize for having a Budweiser logo appear under the UFW's iconic […]

This following story, originally published by the University of Chicago's student newspaper and later picked up by the Chicago Sun Times, portrays how the issues of racial stereotyping and cultural misunderstandings are still alive and well in modern college life. Here is the scoop: two fraternities at the University of Chicago are under fire university […]

Last week, American Apparel published an ad that perplexed many and offended just as many. (Note: this week we have left two messages with American Apparel for comment but we have heard nothing so far.)  This was one just one of the several AA images that were just plain weird. The response among many DREAMers […]

This Tuesday May 29 the Latino Rebels will be in Denver covering the Service Employees International Union's 25th International Convention. We got invited by the SEIU to write about the day's events, which will included a possible official SEIU declaration about comprehensive immigration reform. We will also be meeting with some young DREAMers as well. […]

This past Monday we ran a piece from our friends at Three Sonorans that showed a Budwesier logo under the iconic "Sí se puede" image of the United Farm Workers, co-founded in 1962 by César Chávez and Dolores Huerta, to celebrate the UFW's 50th anniversary at its annual convention. From a photo that shows very little […]

It was a piece of art we found while doing a Google search about life on La Frontera. We are glad we did. Luckily for us, we were able to find out who the genius was this powerful piece—Felipe Galindo, a Mexican visual artist who lives in New York and is known as Feggo. We […]

First of all, good for Pizza Patrón. According to USA TODAY, the Dallas-based pizza franchise is running the following campaign on Tuesday June 5 from 5pm to 8pm: order in Spanish and get a free pepperoni pizza.

Here is what Iowa Rep. Steve King (R) had to say about immigrants and America yesterday. #NoMames, Rep. King. Basically, the logic is this: hey, I know how to pick the best dogs and I want to pick the friskiest dog out there. That is what our immigration policy should be like. Let's get rid of […]

Looks like Arizona's Secretary of State Ken Bennett finally got the memo about the whole birther craziness. Less than a week after saying that it could be "possible" that President Obama would not be on the state's ballot in November, Bennett went on radio again to say the following: “If I embarrassed the state, I […]

Here is a video you won't see on any mainstream outlets. You will not see it on Televisa in Mexico or any other network. That is why you have Vimeo. From May 19, 2002 in Mexico City. #MarchAntiEPN, #YoSoy132, and #MarchaYoSoy132. Look them up.

There is no other possible explanation as to why Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett has gone on record to say that it would be "possible" to officially remove President Obama from the Arizona ballot since Bennett has yet to get a yes or no answer from Hawaii and he is concerned that he hasn't gotten […]

Yes, we know that American Apparel is no stranger to controversy, and yes, we know that in this day and age, when you see something dumb, our critics will just say that we are overreacting and giving the brand extra marketing. We got it. Thanks. But still, after reading a piece from Colorlines (which came […]

Originally published at ThreeSonorans.com I am very disappointed in this year’s sponsorship in the 50th year anniversary of the UFW by Budweiser. This logo on the front of the convention center is straight wack! First the Navy ship being named after Cesar Chavez and now this? What the hell happened to this union, makes me […]

Is #OccupyMexico happening? Maybe not, but today #YoSoy132, the protest organized via social media against Mexico's oldest ruling political party—the PRI—and its 2012 presidential candidate Enrique Peña Nieto, has begun to form its own digital life online. Alt1040.com appears to be one of the movement's most comprehensive pages in terms of first-hand accounts and information. […]

Social media is the new equalizer. Today in Mexico, a protest against the possible return of the country's Institutional Ruling Party (PRI), which ruled Mexico for 71 consecutive years, to the presidential palace. The PRI's candidate, Enrique Peña Nieto, is leading key polls for the July 1 election, according to reports. Under its rule, the […]
