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 […]

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.

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: […]

UPDATE, June 20, 2015: The Daily News apologized via an editorial. Last night, the Facebook page of the National Puerto Rican Day Parade (NPRDP) posted the following update about a photo the New York Daily News published on June 15: This evening, we informed the NY Daily News that we have terminated our relationship, effective […]

The following tweet was directed to us by one of our dearest friends and supporters, Rubén Castilla Herrera. It had to do with Chipotle. You know, that Chipotle. As a Queer Mexican-American/Chicano/Latinx, I'm disturbed by @ChipotleTweets marketing/branding here. @latinorebels pic.twitter.com/tlL7qo4bKg — RubenCastillaHerrera (@LatinoLdrSHIFT) June 17, 2015 Now, we don’t have many words for this one, […]

UPDATE, June 20, 2015: The Daily News apologized via an editorial. UPDATE, June 19, 2015: The NPRPD sent a letter to the Daily News, terminating its relationship with the newspaper. Yesterday the chair of the National Puerto Rican Day Parade (NPRDP) wrote a letter to the CEO of the New York Daily News demanding that […]

This happened right before you all shut down for the Memorial Day weekend. It comes from Indiana local media. Here are two reports. 13 WTHR Indianapolis Hey, C.J. Spence: we have a video for you:

CHICAGO—It’s May 2015, which means the start of the 2016 presidential campaign season is only a blink away. Already hopefuls are throwing their hats into the ring. So far only one person has mounted a challenge to Hillary Clinton, the presumed Democratic nominee—though why Bernie Sanders, a self-styled democratic socialist and the independent junior senator […]

This Monday I was the moderator on a political roundtable where the hot topic was the 2016 presidential election. The one name that stood out above all the others was Hillary Clinton. According to one of the panelists, political psychologist and television analyst Bart Rossi: Hilary has a winning personality. It’s not just about the politics or policies, […]

This just in from local Florida media. We have no words, except to say this: You go, Jessica Morales, for speaking out and letting the world know that this is 2015, and this just needs to stop. Just watch. The whole issue started via social media (what a surprise): Rather tasteless and racist that Naples […]

In case you aren’t following the latest from the Democratic senate primary race, this past weekend during the state party’s convention in Anaheim, Rep. Loretta Sanchez, one of the candidates running for Barbara Boxer’s seat, made one really ridiculous gesture at a restaurant when talking about a story regarding her outreach to the state’s Indian […]

Before we share the following interview that’s been floating around the Internet for the past few days, we are wondering if Mark Halperin would ever ask a African American candidate a series of questions like the ones he asked Cruz. Let’s be real here for a second: Ted Cruz is of Cuban descent. You might […]

In case you missed it, here’s Episode 21 of REBEL REPORT.

Looks like the White House officially doesn’t give a crap any more. Let’s just Hispander some more and mention tequila almost every minute? And yeah, add a little immigration too? Why not? Just bring it all out today. You can read the transcript here. We won’t say much because @FruittiLoopz already broke it down for […]

If you are a Virgin America Elevate member, you very likely got the following email today: Total #CincodeFallo. And why do ad people feel the need to add an “o” to the end of every flipping word today? Honorable mention goes to Jet Blue:

And the hits keep on coming. Congrats to Madison Social for tonight’s Cinco de Fallo Award. For a previous list of winners, go here and here. You can also follow any new #CincodeFallo winners live on Twitter. And if you see any new winners, tweet us @latinorebels

Earlier this week, a Texas county commissioner decided to write this public Facebook post just hours after the U.S. mainstream media was pushing out images from Baltimore on a constant loop: An email to Latino Rebels yesterday included that screen shot. So we checked it out and discovered that John Gradberg is a Precinct 2 County […]
