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 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 […]

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. According to the USA TODAY piece, "It can be broken Spanish. It can be first-time Spanish. But it has […]

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 […]

Yes, the Internet is a good thing sometimes. As we did a little Google searching about the saying "no seas pendejo," (don't ask why) we found the following short film by Juan Botta, and we are glad we did. Here is the full film, which won a Special Jury Prize from Puerto Rico's "Cinefiesta" in 2010. The […]

Mexico is already winning.

Here is news that makes you wonder if major networks are starting to take a second look at how Latinos should be portrayed on mainstream television. "Devious Maids," by creator Marc Cherry and executive producer Eva Longoria, who suggested last month that the show would be a symbol of pride for the Latino community, will […]

Ay, Puerto Rico. Today, according to PrimeraHora.com, San Juan Mayor Jorge Santini Padilla will announce that Calle Austria (Austria Street) in the Puerto Nuevo section of the island capital's city will be renamed Calle Iris Chacón (Iris Chacón Street) to honor the Puerto Rican entertainer who achieved cult status in the 70s and 80s as […]

We WERE going to do a post about how amazing mothers are, and how their love for us has made us strong and confident Rebeldes, and also wax poetic about mothers. Then we say this photo and said DONE. This explained it all for us. Our moms taught us how to fight, how to speak […]

ORIGINALLY PUBLLISHED AT REMEZCLA It’s often said that there’s nothing more American than baseball (much to the chagrin of apple pie). We’re not sure if that line was cobbled together in a public relations meeting but it does hold some weight when one considers how some aspects of the history of the sport mirror historic […]

We love "East WillyB". Earlier this year, we had the pleasure of having two members of the show's familia, @juliagrob and @jazminchavez, write one our favorite pieces of 2012: Latinos, Turn Off Your TV, Coño! The piece focused about why supporting independent Latino programming is a good thing.
