Reaction to the images of racist anti-immigrant graffiti from Wichita, Kansas shared with Latino Rebels earlier this morning has already gained momentum in our Facebook community and on our Tumblr. The story was also featured in Buzzfeed. The response by the artists who discovered their works defaced? They are “are ready to strike back.”  In a release sent to […]

Armando Minjarez is an immigrant activist and artist from Wichita, Kansas. Earlier this morning, he tweeted out the following: this happen last night #racist @marooncacoon @Scooby_Doo_98 @Hugogami @EmiraPalacios @LatinoLeadersKS @latinorebels pic.twitter.com/g3D70JkzYz — Armando Minjarez (@aminjarez) February 13, 2014 The tweet included this image: The graffiti sprayed on the mural changed the mural’s text to read, […]

Leave it to The Daily Show to offer one of the best responses we have seen about the whole Coca Cola ad. Our only beef? You could have added a Spanish speaker in the response, but still, it does speak to the core issue here, one that has been too common.

We get a lot of story ideas and tips from our Facebook community, and the following one from Elizabeth Ayala is perhaps one of the most bizarre ones we have ever seen. Here is what Elizabeth posted on our FB page: “Apparently Google search thinks the upcoming Chavez biopic is about Julio Cesar.” So we […]

This is nuts. Read the slideshow. It’s long, but it is quite telling.   [View the story “Travis County Sheriff’s Twitter Trolling #Not1More Protesters” on Storify]   By the way, a press release by #Not1More organizers was sent today: Travis County Sheriff Trolls #Not1More Protestors on Twitter Sheriff’s Online Comments Demonstrate His Misunderstanding of the  […]

Yo, Laura Ingraham, we have a few things to say to you. Yeah, it’s about your response to Justice Sonia Sotomayor (via Media Matters) for a speech Sotomayor gave where she took pride in saying that she was the first Justice to use the term “undocumented immigrant,” because “to call them illegal aliens seemed and […]

Earlier today, the Facebook page of “KOTV – The News On 6” out of Oklahoma shared the following post: Post by KOTV – The News On 6.   The response was so negative (just read the comments), that members of Dream Act Oklahoma (Tulsa) responded rather quickly with a call to action. Tonight, these DREAMers […]

Thanks for nothing, Food Network. This explains itself. (Original tweet here.) And while you are at it, add a “witty” song about guacamole. (Original link to video here, if it doesn’t load.) Our response? You know the routine by now: Thanks to @18millionrising for the heads up.

UPDATE, January 28, 2014: The petition reached 100K signatures. And according to POLITICO, “The White House did not respond to a request for reaction to the petition.” During the whole Justin Bieber arrest hysteria (for example, seriously, MSNBC?), many in our community quickly pointed out the immigration double standard surrounding the Canadian pop star. It […]

Another day, another explanation from singer/actress María Conchita Alonso, who really needs to step away from the interviews and the attention. Yesterday CNN reported that Alonso thought the immigration positions of former Minuteman and current California GOP candidate Tim Donnelly had more to do with stopping “Arabs” at the border and than stopping “Mexicans.” Latino […]

What did actress/singer María Conchita Alonso think was going to happen after getting slammed for a YouTube video she did with Tim Donnelly, a former Minuteman who is running for governor of California? She really thought that should would not face backlash, especially since Donnelly is considered to be one of the most despised California […]

Talk about bizarre Latino outreach. As La Opinión reports, singer/actress María Conchita Alonso, appeared in a YouTube expressing her support for Tim Donnelly, a controversial Tea Party state assemblyman running for governor of California. Watch the video. It is trying to be funny. The response to the video has caused some online Latinos to do […]

Today Maryland state delegate Curt Anderson of Baltimore City (D) finally addressed comments he made this weekend about his being “amazed at how many Mexicans” were working on a city school. Here is what Bryan P. Sears of The Daily Record reported today when Anderson was asked about the comments: “It was a poor choice […]

Now everyone in media knows that the Forbes.com editorial model is not truly transparent journalism, but that isn’t stopping the incredibly raw reaction to a viral January 3 opinion piece by contributor Larry McDonald about Puerto Rico’s incredibly messed up economic crisis. You can read McDonald’s entire 6-page column here, but if you don’t want […]

We got this story tip from our friends at @latinoticias: Anderson ‘amazed at how many Mexicans’ working on city school | Eye on Annapolis http://t.co/YDNdU8zjPn cc @latinorebels — Latino News (@latinoticias) January 6, 2014 So we checked it out. Here’s the scoop coming from Maryland: Del. Curt Anderson is coming under fire by a conservative […]

Everyone knows that Dr. Stephen Steinlight of the Center for Immigration Studies has already earned #NoMames Emeritus status, and Steinlight shows no signs of losing such an honor. We found the following comments via RightWingWatch, which referred to a January 1 interview with Steinlight in a Washington Times community interview with Joseph Cotto. Here is […]

Let’s start by saying: this is not a joke. As first reported by The New York Post. You just have to read it: A rival of Melissa Mark-Viverito filed a million-dollar lawsuit against the front-runner for City Council speaker — claiming she put a Caribbean hex on her while the two were running for the […]

So earlier this week, the folks at Pew Research published findings of a fall study it ran about how Americans view other countries. The results, sadly, did not surprise us. According to the survey, Canada tops the list with an 81% favorability rating, followed closely by Great Britain (79%) and Japan (70%). In the bottom […]

Pendejo Tour founder, Iowa Rep. Steve King, is looking to start his 2014 Pendejo Tour the same way he started in 2013—by being a major pendejo. We will explain: We got the following tweet tonight from a Twitter follower: Check this out! Look a 2. Got it in the mail #NoMames #immigrationreform @latinorebels pic.twitter.com/dEGViz75rO — […]

You HAVE to love the gall of Senator Ted Cruz (aka Rafael Edward Cruz), Republican senator from Texas and Canadian citizen. This entire year Cruz has had to dodge his Canadian birth and his dad’s illegal entry into the United States from Cuba while at the same time being one of the country’s most harshest […]
