4 years ago, a blogger from the Latino Rebels camp created this meme and uploaded it to Facebook. The response was immediate and far, the meme spreading like wildfire, resurfacing and going viral periodically. This meme encompasses so much in just two frames and seven printed words. In this time of xenophobia and fear of refugees, we are thankful to all the undocumented workers who harvest all of the fruits and vegetables that we eat (approximately 75% of field workers in the United States are undocumented). #art4 #art4change #artivism #artivist #activist #politicalart #humanrights #socialjustice #racialjustice #immigration #migration #migrantpower #pinchefrontera #borderlands #Not1More #undocumented #latinorebels #thanksgiving

Twitter’s 2014 Moments Exclude Major Political Events in Latin America

Twitter has begun to start promoting its 2014 Moments, and to be honest with you, we thought the social media network would have at least highlighted either this year’s Venezuela protests or the current Mexico ones in their “News and Politics” section.

Yet, bizarrely, the only Latin American moment from that section was Carnaval. Yes, Carnaval. In the “News and Politics” section.

No mention of #SOSVenezuela or #PrayForVenezuela. No mention of #Ayotiznapa, #YaMeCanse or any of its iterations. Such news is perplexing, sincem at least in our digital world, both Venezuela and Mexico are some of the most active Twitter countries in the world. Twitter did list the Honk Kong protests on its lists, but not Venezuela or Mexico? Is there another alternative social media space we are unaware of that just excludes events in Latin America?

So this heat map of #YaMaCanse doesn’t mean anything?

Or that Venezuela did indeed trend (a lot) and was pretty much THE topic in our feeds this past February and March?

Guess not.

Obama’s Torture of Children at the Border (DOCUMENT)

Yesterday we received the following document from the Law Offices of Amoachi & Johnson, PLLC:

Obama’s torture of children at the border from amjolaw

Amoachi & Johnson’s blog explains:

The following document is a legal request made to an immigration judge to terminate the deportation of our unaccompanied child client. Under United States law, we believe that DHS’s egregious violations of the legal and human rights of our client should legally bar ICE from pursuing her deportation.

Given the news of this week’s CIA “Torture Report,” the blog post adds the following: “Under the Obama administration, DHS has treated unaccompanied minors in border holding cells in many of the exact same ways that the CIA has terrorist suspects under the Bush administration. From the words of a 15-year-old girl who was a victim:”

She lost significant weight and was extremely weakened as a result of the almost total deprivation of food, water, sleep, clothing, and medical assistance during her time in DHS custody. She could have suffered irreparable physical injury from the acute lack of sufficient water and food for a 96 hour period. HHS officials also failed to provide Respondent with sufficient food and shelter for 7 consecutive days given that she was only able to eat cookies and juice, the temperatures in the shelter dropped to very cold temperatures at night, and the lights were kept on for 24 hours a day for 7 days straight.
