The latest round of photographs from neo-Nazi J.T. Ready’s patrols in the Arizona desert shows the Mesa storm trooper getting chummy with the U.S. Border Patrol, even leaning on a Border Patrol vehicle at one point.There’s a photo of Ready with a Border Patrol Agent on a motorcycle, and there’s a pic…
The only problem with this, of course, is that Arpaio’s so sick in the head he’ll probably get a rise out of it. Still, brilliant of Zack de la Rocha to dedicate “Killing in the Name” to him. For a full report on Friday’s Rage Against the Machine concert at…
Of all the high points in Rage Against the Machine’s anti-SB 1070 concert at the Hollywood Palladium Friday night, the one that made it worth the six hour trek from Phoenix to Los Angeles for me was when Rage front man Zack de la Rocha dedicated the incendiary anthem “Killing…

I don’t normally just throw up press releases on the blog, but as the following one from the Arizona Anti-Defamation League deals with neo-Nazi J.T. Ready’s ongoing “illegal alien” patrols in the desert, I think it’s worth repeating here verbatim. The ADL release, dated yesterday, condemns “law enforcement by neo-Nazis,” and criticizes the lack…
Gilman and Crump go at it in Gilman’s latestIn this latest video from Dennis Gilman, the feisty videographer goes at it with GOP candidate for Congress Sam Crump.

No More Deaths, the non-profit humanitarian group that leaves water in the wild for migrants crossing the Arizona desert, wraps up its art auction/fundraiser tonight at Bragg’s Pie Factory, 1301 N.W.

This just in: MCSO’s fearless leader Sheriff Joe is heading into the desert today to hunt for illegal aliens in the oven-like temperatures. And he’s breaking out the big guns, or at least one of them — a .50 caliber machine gun, in case they run into any of them-thar narco-terrorists. His…
Crusading U.S. Senate candidate and former New Times journalist John Dougherty has fired a salvo at what he refers to as “Arizona’s axis of hysteria.” That is, this odd fundraising venture on the part of Sheriff Joe Arpaio and neo-Nazi-hugging state Senator Russell Pearce called B.A.N., or Ban Amnesty Now.On…

Note: Please see response from Governor Brewer’s office below.Back in May, I warned that a new racist, white nationalist organization out of California known as the American Third Position, or A3P, was attempting to gain a political toehold in Arizona with a quixotic effort to get on the ballot as…
