Comentarios from Maria: Es hora de proteger a los perros, vote ‘Sí’ en la Enmienda 13
October 18, 2018 By
Se dice que el perro es el mejor amigo del hombre. Si es verdad, entonces la pregunta es, por qué existen industrias tan insensibles e inhumanas, que someten a nuestros mejores amigos a semejante crueldad como lo son las carreras de galgos. Estas carreras no son más que una horrible e indecente forma de diversión […]

First they came for the Muslims, and we did not remain silent. Now, our community is under attack by the Trump administration, which is fulfilling its promise of massive deportations and we will not remain silent. Last week, agents of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) began enforcing, under the President’s order, the massive deportations […]

January 23, 2017 By
So Republicans plan to repeal ObamaCare. Now. Like this week. This is not a surprise given that is what they have been harping on for the past eight years. But what they haven’t done (or had to do until now) is present a plan to replace the Affordable Care Act and give Americans confidence they […]

January 4, 2017 By
!Feliz año amigos! Al final de este año y a comienzos del próximo, me parece justo y necesario que analicemos cómo nos fue en el 2016 y pensar como queremos enfrentar el 2017. Los ciclos electorales como lo fue el 2016 ponen a prueba el tipo de nación, pueblo y personas que queremos ser y […]

September 26, 2016 By
“An ‘extremely credible source’ has called my office and told me that @BarackObama’s birth certificate is a fraud,” Donald Trump tweeted in 2012.

Comentarios from Maria: Trump demanding Clinton transparency is dishonest hypocrisy
September 19, 2016 By
This campaign season is unorthodox. That is an understatement. But we have also let fester an insidious and dangerous layer of false equivalence and normalization of hate that has settled upon how the campaigns are covered, talked about and perceived. For the good of the voters, it has to stop. What is this false equivalence […]
