POLITICAL SALSA Y MAS with SAL BALDENEGRO  4.22.18 “EMAIL ORGANIZING, AKA GIVE US SOME MONEY”

POLITICAL SALSA Y MAS with SAL BALDENEGRO 4.22.18 “EMAIL ORGANIZING, AKA GIVE US SOME MONEY”

April 21, 2018 By Tia Tenopia

Democrats-liberals and Republican-conservatives may be on opposite sides of the political spectrum, but if the dozens of political emails I receive daily are any guide, they seem to use the same political consultant(s). Or maybe they just rent the same robot and take turns using it. They certainly use the same playbook. At least they […]

FIERCE POLITICS with DR. ALVARO HUERTA 4.22.18 “I AM NOT YOUR WETBACK.”

April 21, 2018 By Tia Tenopia

I Am Not Your “Wetback” “Anti-Mexicanism is a form of nativism practiced by colonialists and their inheritors. —Dr. Juan Gómez-Quiñones (2017) To borrow—more like steal—from the great James Baldwin’s writings and speeches, I declare to America’s racists that I am not your “wetback.” I am a man.

BURUNDANGA BORICUA DEL ZOCOTROCO 4.15.18 “¿PATRIA, PAÍS O NACIÓN?”

April 15, 2018 By Tia Tenopia

El Congreso Norteamericano ha sido categórico en reafirmar nuestro carácter de territorio no incorporado, por lo que se me hace imperativo volver una y otra vez sobre esa realidad y las implicaciones que tiene para los sometidos. Territorio, según la Real Academia de la Lengua, es una porción de superficie terrestre perteneciente a una nación. […]

IN AMERICA’S DEFENSE: MEXICANS AND MEXICAN AMERICANS    By Felipe de Ortego y Gasca At almost 92, World War II seems like a world and a half ago. I had just turned 17 in 1943 when I enlisted in the Marines during the dark days of World War II and 20 when I was mustered […]

LATINOPIA FOOD RECIPE “JALAPEÑO SODA BREAD”

By Tia Tenopia on March 14, 2011

Jalapeño Irish Soda Bread The sweetness of traditional Irish soda bread ingredients—raisins, buttermilk, some sugar—are richly complimented by jalapeño heat. Here’s a soda bread recipe from Ireland brought to the USA from Galway by Mary Patricia Reilly Murray and later transformed  with her blessing by her daughter, Bobbi Murray, who added jalapeño chile.  A real […]
