I often find that major Latin@ organizations like National Council of La Raza have very little relevance in my life, but for once, this time, they got it right.
In explaining his group’s war opposition, Trasvina said that Latinos “are overrepresented in the military; many are immigrants who are fighting for our country before it becomes their country.”

La Mala sent me the latest news about my girl, Salma–and it’s not looking so good. It appears that Salma and her brother are being sued by a former employee. Something about ‘wrongfully seeking his removal’ and ‘abuse of authority.’ My reaction to the news? Salma has a brother? ::wide naughty smile::

22 Aug 2008This weekend, Trouble the Water, a film that follows a New Orleans couple through and after Hurricane Katrina, opens in New York City and Los Angeles. It won the Grand Jury prize for Best Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival and serves to remind us all that Hurrican Katrina was one horror, how the U.S. government treated its own in the aftermath was another.
