A new video from the Democratic National Committee’s Rapid Response YouTube channel is focusing on the recent Donald Trump controversy, which continues to dominate the current coverage of the 2016 presidential primary season. Besides calling out Trump for his comments about Mexicans and Mexican immigrants, the DNC video is trying to link comments from current […]

Add our friend and supporter @MrRafaelAgustin to the real people in this country who are proving the neo-nativists wrong. Here is a speech Rafael gave recently when he was named Alumnus of the Year from Mt. San Antonio College. Last year, Rafael published a poem for us that still resonates with many. ¡Enhorabuena, Rafael!

Yesterday, Al Jazeera’s The Stream discussed the current fiscal crisis in Puerto Rico. Two Latino Rebels contributors, Luis Gallardo and Phillip Arroyo, were part of the panel. In addition, around the 25-minute mark, our very own @julito77 weighed in with a question. (Julito used to be part of The Stream.) Here is the full episode:

This following video came our way tonight. It is by @UDsydeFilms. This is what @UDsydeFilms says: “For a while I came up with this idea for a video, only that I didn’t know exactly what message I was trying to get across. I more just wanted to see who supported Donald Trump or not… and […]

In case you missed this earlier today, here is what Senator Ted Cruz said on Meet the Press about the whole Donald Trump fiasco. I salute Donald Trump for focusing on the need to address illegal immigration. The Washington cartel doesn’t want to address that. The Washington cartel doesn’t believe we need to secure the […]

Ted Cruz and Jorge Ramos last week on Ramos’s Fusion show. This was awkward. Here is a longer segment.

We are going to miss Jon Stewart, but we do want to thank him for getting this one done before the end of his run on The Daily Show. The Daily ShowDaily Show Full Episodes,  More Daily Show Videos,  Comedy Central Full Episodes

This needs very little explanation. Just watch this 57-second clip and realize that in the end, Donald Trump has no flipping clue about anything. (The Occupy Democrats YouTube video has over 200,000 views, but this Facebook share has over 14 million views and growing.) Mexican Laborer Has A Message For Donald Trump! Posted by Eman […]

Donald Trump has had a really bad week. First, NBC. Then, Macy’s. This Buzzfeed article, too. And now, even Emmitt Smith is out. Emmitt Flipping Smith. The Trump fallout continues to spiral, and today, Trump (with the help of Breitbart and The Daily Caller) is now so desperate, that he is aligning himself with President […]

Just days after Univision decided to cut business ties with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for derogatory comments made against Mexicans and as the Latino digital space began to call for NBCUniversal (owner of Telemundo) to follow Univision’s lead, this morning NBCUniversal issued the following statement: At NBC, respect and dignity for all people are […]

UPDATE: NBCUniversal has terminated its business relationship with Donald Trump. It is the June 16 Donald Trump quote that has the Latino digital space speaking out in ways we have never seen before, including an online petition calling for NBC to end its ties with Trump (now at about 200K signatures and growing): When Mexico sends […]

Even though National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts chairman Felix Sanchez was bumped off the live broadcast of CNN’s “Reliable Sources” this morning due to breaking news, CNN still made Felix’s segment available online. Here is the interview Felix had with Brian Stelter about why he and other U.S. Latino leaders think NBC should cut […]

Whatever happened to the “act of love” Jeb Bush when it comes to immigration? Yesterday at a Bush event in Las Vegas, DREAMer Erika Castro (one of six DREAMers who met Hillary Clinton earlier this year) had a chance to ask the Republican candidate his thoughts about Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Mi Familia […]

Here is the full video of the words President Obama gave yesterday at the eulogy for Reverend Clement Pinckney and eight other members of Emanuel AME, who were killed in Charleston, South Carolina, on June 17, 2015.

UPDATE, June 29,2015: NBCUniversal has terminated its relationship with Donald Trump. This morning the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda (NHLA), a coalition of the country’s most prominent Latino organizations, released a statement applauding Univision for severing its business relationship with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump after reaction to Trump’s comments about Mexicans reached a fever pitch […]

If Donald Trump ever becomes President of the United States, we are fucked. The following interview with José Díaz-Balart is NOT parody. It’s real. We could break this down and analyze it, but it kind of speaks for itself.

Listen, we all know that the Latino digital sphere is going crazy about what Univision did to Donald Trump today and also what Univision anchor Jorge Ramos wrote earlier this week. So it doesn’t surprise us that news about the Department of Homeland Security has gotten lost in the social media shuffle. What follows ia full statement published […]

This happened tonight via Twitter. @deray tweeted out the video clip of a CNN interview with South Carolina state representative William Chumley (R) about the current debate to remove the Confederate flag from the state’s capitol. It is perhaps one of the most bizarre and ridiculous comments we have yet to hear about the recent […]

You all remember Rep. Don Young, right? How can you not forget this? Looks like Congressman Young is back, but this time the Alaska Republican is now visiting Puerto Rico to raise money days before he is scheduled to hold a hearing about the island’s political status. As POLITICO reported last week: Alaska Republican Don […]

This afternoon an editorial by The New York Daily News has addressed the recent controversy surrounding a photo published last Monday that inaccurately depicted paradegoers at last Sunday’s Puerto Rican Day Parade. The photo had sparked protests and rebukes from supporters of the parade. Here is an excerpt of what the Daily News editorial said: […]

Yes, we totally understand that giving Ann Coulter any air time on this site is hard for us, given the fact that Coulter (and her distant cousin Donald Trump) just promote hate speech. But you have to see (video below) what Rep. Luis Gutiérrez told Coulter last night on Bill Maher. Worry about the 50 […]
