THIS WEEK ON LATINOPIA 02.14.21

February 14, 2021 by Tia Tenopia

THIS WEEK ON LATINOPIA: HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! ALEJANDRO MOLINA ON “SAN VALENTÍN,” SAL BALDENEGRO ON “TRUMPISM A DEATH CULT,” 100 YEARS OF LATINO MUSIC, 100 YEARS OF LATINO LITERATURE AND 100 YEARS OF LATINO TEATRO.

Yes, it’s Valentine’s Day my peeps! We salute the holiday with a hilarious poem by Alejandro Molina who imagines a bilingual pocho confessing his feelings to a loved one. Not to be missed.

On a more serious note, Sal Baldenegro’s Political Salsa y Más brings us his take on the cowardly decision by 43 Republicans to endorse Donald Trump inciting  thugs to attack our national Capital by refusing to convict him of inciting an insurrection. Another not to be missed.

This week we remind our visitors to Latinopia that we have a lot of content pertaining to Chicano/Latino history. We offer three of our timelines from the history tab, 100 Years of Latino Music, 100 Years of Latino Music and 100 Years of Latino Teatro.

Enjoy your week on Latinopia and be sure to bring her or him flowers even in this time of Covid-19!
