Found this perusing the CNN Ticker today. It’s hard not to find some humor behind this, although the intent is quite clear. It really is true that despite being given the factual truth, whether it’s about Barack Obama’s religion…

Barack Obama’s run to become the first Black president reminds us of the many Black men who have had their voting rights taken away….

Callous and Ignorant Election Politics

Last week, I was watching this video of people in Haiti waiting for food aid after a series of hurricanes and tropical storms pounded the country. The crisis is so bad that people are willingly pushing themselves through razorwire…

It’s not a conspiracy theory to say that electronic voting machines are easily hacked, their results are readily manipulated, and it is frighteningly easy to commit voter fraud with them. Actually, after reading the report and watching these videos,…

Is New Orleans Ready for Another Storm?
by Tracy Kronzak on August 29 2008, 10:12AM
Now that the Democrats have ended their convention and the Republicans are on the cusp of their own, something else entirely is on my mind. Take a gander at the projected path and strength of Hurricane Gustav, and remember…

Congratulations to the many parties who worked so hard to achieve same-sex marriage in California. However, our Queer community has now demonstrated a singular goal to assimilate to the very same set of social and political benefits that until recently…

Can You Pick Up One or Two CPAs to Give Us a Hand?

Disposable labor for disposable jobs. We don’t engage day laborers as people, but as the job they’ve been hired to do. And when the job is done, so is the person. Add into the mix the often far-reaching and…

ICED Video Game Imitates Immigrant’s Life
by Tracy Kronzak on February 28 2008, 9:28AM
Today I spent some time playing Breakthrough’s ICED video game. I’m not much of a gamer as I am a maven for technology and its uses. But ICED is one of the best uses of the myriad of open-source…

What Superbowl Means for Super Tuesday
by Tracy Kronzak on February 5 2008, 11:53AM
I have a deeply cynical belief that if Barack Obama wins in November, we’re going to see even more racist Superbowl commercials next year. What’s the connection? The mainstreaming of “colorblind,” meaning race-silent, public policy and the largely held assumption…

I’m not the first or only person who will be drawing parallels between the fires in Southern California and Hurricane Katrina. But what caught my eye this week were several articles in the San Francisco Chronicle that discussed the…

The Labor America wants to Vilify
by Tracy Kronzak on May 2 2007, 2:01PM
Tuesday, I filmed the Oakland immigration march and rally. Through the crowds of protesters, cheers of Si Se Puede and speeches from local politicians, I was reminded of one truth: many Americans would rather not consider the consequences of our…
