NADA MÁS QUE LIBROSNada más que libros - Miguel Hernández“ Abiertos, dulces sexos femeninos,
o negros, o verdales:
mínimas botas de morados vinos,
cerrados: genitales
lo mismo que horas fúnebres e iguales.
de “Oda a la higuera”.
Miguel Hernández Gilabert nació en Orihuela, Alicante, el 30 de Octubre de 1.910. Por amistad y edad podía haber formado parte de la llamada pero nunca se ha considerado parte de ella, aunque Dámaso Alonso le considera “el genial epílogo del Grupo”. El haber muerto en la cárcel por pertenecer al Partido Comunista de España, tras haber sido condenado a muerte, y posteriormente indultado y condenado a treinta años de rec...2022-03-2437 min
Speaking BluntlyJust Take The Damn Shot!Since the start of this pandemic, there has been an infiltration of misinformation and conspiracy theories as it relates to the novel coronavirus. Additionally, mitigation efforts set forth by public health officials have been politicized to the country's detriment. Currently, we are facing a pandemic of the unvaccinated. In this episode, I explain how the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines work and why we all have a personal responsibility to do what is necessary so that this pandemic can end. Lastly, I discuss the "my body, my choice" mantra and how that doesn't apply when trying to end a public health...2021-10-0136 min
Speaking BluntlyInsurrection and Cancel Culture: What Do They Have in Common?On January 6, 2021, Americans witnessed a violent insurrection on our nation's Capitol; which was incited by the former President. While the wheels of justice have been extremely slow with regards to holding those responsible for this attack, with the new select congressional investigation, it is anticipated we will get a clearer picture of how exactly an event like this transpired. Since the events of January 6th, we have also seen an uptick in the decrying of "cancel culture," yet conservatives never have any qualms canceling others who they feel do not behave according to their guidelines. The most r...2021-07-0346 minSpeaking BluntlyThe Push to Combat the Newest Wave of GOP Voter Restriction LawsSince November 2020, the Republicans have been amplifying "The Big Lie," in which they have made unfounded claims of mass voter fraud. They have been using this as the foundational reasoning and necessity to pass more restrictive voting laws that disproportionately affect Black and Brown communities. This is not a coincidence. In fact, the GOP has historically sought to stifle the votes of Black and Brown voters since this ensures we will have democracy that is representative of ALL rather than just a few. Thus, it is our obligation to ensure this current Democratic majority Senate does everything humanly possible...2021-06-1844 minSpeaking BluntlyThe Trial of Derek Chauvin: Accountability and Justice in PolicingIn this week's episode of the Speaking Bluntly podcast, I discuss the trial and verdict of Derek Chauvin and what this means for the future of policing. It's rare that Law Enforcement Officials are found guilty of murder, manslaughter, or negligence when they shoot and/or kill an individual. This is primarily due to Qualified Immunity. It's long past due that we as a society reimagine policing. With Chauvin being a convicted murderer, that change can arrive sooner rather than later through the power of The People!Tupac's Interview with MTV: Listen to Tupac express his views on...2021-05-0842 minSpeaking BluntlyThe Inaugural Episode: Overcoming an Obstacle After SetbacksWelcome to the very first episode of the Speaking Bluntly Podcast!

ZARAGOZA TE HABLAZaragoza te habla – El callejero “comunista”En el programa de hoy vamos a enlazar con un asunto de cierta actualidad como es la revisión de los nombres de algunos viales y zonas públicas de Zaragoza, en este caso por su procedencia “comunista”. Recordaremos a este respecto el gran antecedente de lo sucedido con decenas de nombres de vías urbanas que cambiaron al ser anulados tras el golpe de Estado del 18 de julio de 1936 y el rápido triunfo en Zaragoza de los facciosos. En esa ocasión, la limpieza de comunistas se extendió también a calles como las de Alcalá Zamora, Antonio Pérez, Galán...2021-02-0122 min

Speaking BluntlyCongratulations America! Our Democracy Thrives!On November 7, 2020, Americans officially knew that hope is on the horizon. A brighter future is on the horizon. It was this day that Americans learned a new President would be installed on January 21, 2021. While Trump has tried to contest the validity of the election and thus far has not performed a peaceful transition of power, his efforts have been moot. Trump's coup attempt has been an epic failure. However, this is why we needed to vote Trump out. Our democracy would not have survived another four years under his authoritarian rule. Congrats America!2020-12-011h 15
