Pocho Ocho worst new names for Hispanic Heritage Month
The pinche Trump administration is stuck with the annual observance of National “Hispanic” Heritage Month 2017, which begins today, but that doesn’t mean they like it. The POCHO news team has learned that the white wing traitors, crooks, and colluders at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue ran through a list of alternative names for the observance before being shot down by the only Latina Trump knows — Lisa A Malinche, a low-level staffer.

Take back Latino Heritage Month and #EndHispandering!
On September 14 a Latina friend of mine who’s also a college professor said to me, “Brace yourself for Hispanic Heritage Month, I’m already getting phone calls about recommendations for mariachi bands.”
I laughed a bit, but her comment stayed with me. See, she’s half Colombian and I’m Puerto Rican, and the idea of becoming the “go to” people about such things struck me as, well, just another example of how stereotypes about Latinos often work.
The fact that people are asking her about mariachi bands reveals how U.S. society usually lumps us together under the umbrella label “Latino/a” or “Hispanic” despite our cultural differences and diversity.
At the same time, her warning (“brace yourself”) fittingly captured how many Latinxs/Hispanics feel about Hispanic Heritage Month (which I prefer to call Latino Heritage Month because I find it more inclusive, less Spanish-oriented).

Latino Heritage Pochismo Pride: Create Paradigms for Profit Profiles
Here’s how I make the money, pochos:
Our control seamlessly incentivises the group. Our metrics-driven process interactively motivates the Head of Client Leadership.
The resources enforce our profit-maximizing and competitive forward plannings. A collateral value creation prioritizes our profiles, while the category manager broadens a decentralized transparency by leveraging specific and/or spectral messages. The standard-setters think out of the box ahead of schedule, whilst paradigms enhance a next-generation, world-class, business philosophy.
An accessible decision-making architects the feedback. Controlled momentums generate healthy efficiency gain.

Latina Heritage Month Patriot Alert: Obama’s Iran Deal Disrespects You
You don’t lift sanctions.
You crack down on their assets.
You cut off their oil and drill, baby, drill for our own.
We don’t retreat. We reload against any foe daring to test us.
And that is what Iran just did.
So, Congress, you got to kill the deal. The president is playing you. He so disrespects you, Congress, and our Constitution, that he won’t even bring you the treaty.

Latino Heritage Month Pochismo Profile: Xochitl Cahuenga-Alvarado
California artist Xochitl Cahuenga-Alvarado (born in 1988 in Fresno) creates mixed media artworks and performances.
By investigating language on a meta-level, Cahuenga-Alvarado tries to grasp language.
Transformed into art, language becomes an ornament. At that moment, lots of ambiguities and indistinctnesses, which are inherent to the phenomenon, come to the surface. Ooooh, shiny!
Her mixed media artworks are an investigation into representations of (seemingly) concrete ages and situations as well as depictions and ideas of the Latin@ that can only be realized in mixed media art.
