Last year, when Jorge Ramos was grilling President Obama for an immigration record that has done more to damage the U.S. Latino community than help it, personalities like Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity (who called him RAY-mos) had the Univision and Fusion anchor on their respective shows. They were somewhat complimentary about what Ramos had done. […]

Last night Larry Wilmore’s “Nightly Show” covered Cuba. Outside of the typical cigar and rum jokes, it was a pretty good discussion. The show doesn’t embed videos yet, but click on the link here or on the photo below.

UPDATE, 11:15AM ET, January 21, 2015: The

UPDATE, January 22, 2015: New reports are saying Perez is staying on the show, although ABC or “The View” have yet to comment about the open letter. In response to a Variety report that actor Rosie Perez will be exiting ABC’s “The View” after just four months on the show, an open letter co-signed by […]

We are fairly certain that very few (if any) major media outlets mentioned the fact that yesterday’s #Dream4Justice march in New York City on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day did not just focus on the lost lives of African Americans who died at the hands of police. The names and faces of John Paul Quintero, Israel […]

Yes, one January 3 tweet from @ChipsterLife has turned into something bigger. One headline about “illegals” above a photo of unidentified people at a DMV not only led to incredibly intense reaction online, but it also caused a January 8 protest, which a reporter from the Santa Barbara News-Press

Last night Deadspin posted a Vine showing Showtime’s Jim Gray about to interview Albuquerque native Fidel Maldonado, a Mexican American boxer who lost his fight to Amir Imam. As the Vine shows, Gray asked Maldonado a question but then turned to his trainer first, who said, “He speaks English.” That was awkward. By the way, […]

This week’s episode of “Rebel Report” has host R.J. Aguiar sharing his thoughts about three other tragedies very few people know about: Andy Lopez, Alex Nieto and David Sal Silva.

Let’s get the cliché right out the way: it was just another cold winter January weekday morning in the town where I live, just seven miles from the center of Boston, Massachusetts. Wake up in the dark, get the kids going, make the coffee and breakfast, turn on the radio, start the cars up and […]

You’d be hard-pressed to argue against the famous maxim which states that “all politics is local.” The average citizen is less interested in what’s occurring at the national level than what’s occurring in their city, and likewise less interested about what’s happening in their city than what’s happening in their neighborhood, and so on. For […]

This morning, our founder @julito77 was having a cup of coffee in East Milton Square (about 7 miles south of downtown Boston) when he saw that the traffic in the square was heavier than normal. He went out to the overpass (which he said wasn’t that crowded yet) and saw that Interstate 93 North was […]

So the very talented Joanna Hausmann just shared her latest Flama video with us. It needs no more explanation.

As expected, the crazy just got crazier in the controversy surrounding The Santa Barbara News-Press and how its xenophobic “journalism.” Taking a cue from the paper’s story last week —which blatantly implied that people who protested the newspaper last Thursday and left “The Border Is Illegal Not The People Who Cross It” graffiti on the […]

For the record, we flipping love Al Madrigal, so we have no problem shamelessly promoting his January 22 “Half Like Me” special on Fusion. Here is the trailer. (PS, yeah that’s Lalo Alcaraz and Gustavo Arellano, too) (H/T @hugobalta)

On January 5, we shared the news of John Paul Quintero, a 23-year-old who was shot to death by Wichita police. The story has gotten a lot of local attention in Kansas, but no national media attention. Last week, facing mounting criticism on how it officers acted when confronting Quintero (whom police claimed reached for […]

We will never forget what actor and Golden Globe winner Gina Rodríguez said tonight: “This award is so much more than myself. It represents a culture that wants to see themselves as heroes.” Yeah, we cried. That Gina Rodríguez speech right now? We cried too. #GoldenGlobes — Latino Rebels (@latinorebels) January 12, 2015 And it […]

After taking a break for the holidays, a new “Rebel Report” with host R.J. Aguiar is out. This week, R.J. shares his resolutions for 2015. For more episodes, catch them here. Post by Flama.

Who knew that the following image from the front page of The Santa Barbara News-Press tweeted to us by @ChipsterLife on January 4 would lead to the story winding up in outlets such as the LA Times and FOX News? But that is exactly what happened this week after there was a protest Thursday night […]

The following video is incredibly graphic, but it needs to be shown. It is dashboard video from the police car of officer Grant Morrison, a member of the Billings Police Department in Montana. This week, officer Morrison was cleared of any charges in the fatal shooting of Richard Ramirez, an unarmed individual pulled over during […]

Most people have heard by now that extremely catchy Enrique Iglesias song “Bailando” that won three Latin Grammy awards in November, including Song of the Year. Its English version has proved to be a very successful crossover hit as well. Perhaps a little behind in my celebration of the song, I only recently made efforts […]

Enrique Peña Nieto is president of a North American country whose police officers have become the targets of public outcry for their role in the awful deaths of guiltless people. No, he isn’t president of the United States, of course. Yet critics seem to believe President Obama possesses even the narrowest sliver of ground from which condemn his […]
