We discuss a social media flare-up between UTLA and Hood Digest. Our guest is LAUSD Board President Mónica García.

Season 2 – Ep. 1: The Nature of The Threat Pt. 1

Public education is incredibly important for our communities – it’s also incredibly controversial. We kick off our next series to dissect the history of public education and the fight for education justice.

Things We Shouldn’t Have to Ask, But This is LAUSD!

We’ve prepared our own list of questions that we recommend asking the candidates vying for LAUSD Superintendent.

Due Process

Get this straight, this is not about making excuses for someone’s fuck ups! Dr. Rodriguez’s missteps have consequences that affect so much more than his political career.

LAUSD’s Not So Random Metal Detector Searches

This report does not give me hope. The audit is recommending that our students be further targeted and criminalized. It reads as though it is scolding LAUSD for not harassing students and disrupting learning.

#HoodDigest Vota Vato – L.A. City Elections, May 2017

Are you feeling tired of elections? Well, don’t turn off your bullshit radar just yet!! For the next couple of months, some of us are gonna be seeing more glossy mailers and answering annoying calls telling you to vote for people you ain’t neva heard of! This coming June, voters in Northeast LA will be deciding on a new a U.S. Congressman. If Jimmy Gomez wins that race, his Assembly seat will be up for grabs. How many progressive Latinas do you think are gonna compete against one another for that one?

#HoodDigest Vota Vato – 34th Congressional District, April 2017

More Latinos are running for this Congressional seat than attended Rubi’s Quinceañera. You’d think they were giving away free tamales in the House Of Representatives the way that so many of my gentes jumped in this race. A point on this crowded congressional competition: saying you will stand up to Donald Trump is easy! Calling out his cadre of racist buffoons is a nobrainer. Shit, Fox News and the Koch brothers are standing up to that mamon!
