Protest the NAACP

Categorized under Acción , Carmen D. , Resistencia | Tags:

No Más Silencio

Categorized under Resistencia | Tags: LA Riots

THE SAD PART about so much violence and human harm done all over the world is that it is but a reaction to a reaction. If the world would listen to all of its inhabitants, and flow with the changes that these voices require, there would be a world of...

America's Secret Police

Categorized under Chinga la Chota , Resistencia | Tags: Police State, resistance, RNC

A RUNNING THEME in this blog is resistencia. As well as recognizing the hand of the police state wherever it be. For reasons unknown to me, my life's path has seen fit (early and often) to teach me of the corrupt nature that often inhabits authority figures. By now,...

WHAT A CLOWN history will show george w bush to be. What a miserable, lip-flapping, bomb-dropping, leering, stupid, ignorant, gutless clown. America's Right Wing diehards still kneel at the foot of the fake prophet, as if there is anything to be found there but ashes. Ashes and mouse droppings....
