This came from Breaking VIP and we are still scratching our heads. According to the VIP story, the Twitter profile of Forever 21 posted the following tweet yesterday (since deleted): “New Arrivals…straight outta Compton.” It added this image: Before the tweet was deleted, there was record of reactions, like this one: It lead to this […]

This is by far one of the most brilliantly geeky things we have ever seen. (h/t io9) Sit back and enjoy “Bohemian Gravity.” As one post says: To be fair, “Bohemian Gravity” may well be the only physics-themed version of “Bohemian Rhapsody” ever made, but that doesn’t change the fact that it is very, very well done. The creation […]

Now this is creative. We are still laughing. More at Chingo Bling.

UPDATE, 1:35 pm ET: The activists arrested today have been released. Here is their video message. Yesterday, President Obama gave an interview with Telemundo News and addressed immigration reform. According to The Washington Post, “President Obama on Tuesday ruled out using his executive authority to freeze deportations for most of the 11 million immigrants in […]

Anyone who thinks boxing is a dead sport really doesn’t spend much time on social media, and yesterday when we posted “The Ugly Racial Side of Floyd Mayweather’s Win Over Canelo Álvarez”, we kind of knew that we were entering into some uncomfortable territory, but when has that stopped us before? Like we said in […]

Indie-inspired, Latin-hearted group Del Exilio brings you new music videos from their new album PANAMERICANO, blending telenovela episodes with traditional music videos.  Check out this web video series that captures the story of how an immigration reform revolution is sparked, and how a young man’s identity is transformed by a journey through North and South America. You can […]

UPDATE: People keep asking us, “Why did you write this piece?” It was a community pitch and conversation our group had here: @latinorebels this is what bites me..there was a lot of racism against mayweather, but no one says nothing.even the memes… — tlacaelel kaibil (@tlacaelelkaibil) September 15, 2013 @latinorebels that is why i get […]

Today in Washington, several women, some of whom were undocumented were arrested today in front of The Capitol. This is what CNN reported: Several dozen people have been arrested Thursday morning as a group of undocumented women participate in an act of “civil disobedience” outside Congress, protesting what they call the House of Representatives’ inaction on immigration […]

Today there is another 9/11. As one outlet puts its, “that infamous date was synonymous with another assault against democracy: the military coup that toppled socialist president Salvador Allende in 1973 and installed a brutal 17-year dictatorship led by Augusto Pinochet.” This is a video of Allende’s last speech. Here is an another shorter video. […]

What started as an online share of a Breitbart piece falsely claiming that Dream Activist was actively telling young DREAMers to purposely lie about their immigration status has led to a complicated web of accusations and attacks lobbied against several Dream Activist leaders, according to tweets and links shared by the immigrant rights’ group. #NoMames: […]

I’m biased. And it’s for obvious reasons. My brother Fernando Varela is part of FORTE, the tenor group entering Tuesday night’s Top 12 on “America’s Got Talent” as one of the Acts to Watch. The journey of the group the Latino Rebels have designated our “Official Multicultural Tenor Trio” has been beyond the wildest dreams […]

This just floored us. Watch. On September 6, 2013, Chile hosts Venezuela in the same stadium where the human rights of 12,000 Chileans were violated 40 years ago. To all the Chilean players, we ask that when the first goal is scored, don’t celebrate it. Keep your mouths closed to stop the scream that comes […]

We get it. In the age of a losing immigration battle, the haters are getting desperate. Such is the case of Bretbart’s Lee Stranahan, whose September 5 piece, “‘DREAMER’ WEBSITE TEACHES ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ‘HOW TO LIE SUCCESSFULLY’” [yes, ALL CAPS are necessary], makes the shocking conclusion that undocumented people sometimes lie about their status. Hence, […]

Editor’s Note: This post was originally published on the official blog of the Hispanic Organization of Latin Actors (HOLA). HOLA has granted us permission to post. A common complaint is that Latinos don’t see themselves enough in film and television. (Or if we are on television and film screens, the images of ourselves can be quite […]

So The Daily Caller’s Education Editor Eric Owens, the reporter who thought that adding a lead image of some dudes in mariachi outfits made sense in a TDC story about how UCLA’s student government is discouraging the use of “illegal immigrants” (like The Associated Press), responded to a comment request from our friends at HuffPost’s Latino […]

It’s pretty clear that The Daily Caller is basically being run by a bunch of clueless pendejos, since this supposed bastion of independent political journalism is just getting sloppy. And racist. Where do we start? Let’s just explain. Today TDC’s Education Editor Eric Owens wrote a story about how UCLA’s student government unanimously resolved to […]

We love Rebel Diaz. Always have. Always will. Now they dropped this video this week. We love them even more. There is basically nothing about this song that we don’t love. An instant classic. Catch one of our favorite bands here.

Yes, there is a pro-fracking jingle for kids. Our own GuerrilaGrrl recorded the following video at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas, Texas. Here it is.

A Latina President is really not as far-fetched an idea as sellout mainstream media would have you believe. Media conglomerates have never made even the tiniest effort to portray Latinas honestly, equally nor anywhere near accurately. They’ve also failed to give Latinas equal employment in positions of influence and power. They complain there’s no audience […]

Just as I was about to move on from the media story that has every Latino journalist person talking, something changed last night. Before I go into those details, I wanted to provide some updates surrounding the controversy that occurred this past Sunday at the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) conference in Anaheim, where […]
