Sal Reza (left) and Zack de la Rocha of Rage Against the Machine, ready for battle.The closest thing to compare it to that I can think of, is that famous footage in the documentary Don't Look Back of a young Bob Dylan singing Only a Pawn in Their Game at a voter registration drive in Mississippi in the early '60s.

• Zack de la Rocha Leads an Army of Thousands Against Arpaio's Racist Rule

  De la Rocha, raging against Arpaio and Janet Napolitano. My conservative estimate is that today 3,000 to 4,000 people braved 90 degree weather to march from Steele Indian School Park to the Sandra Day O'Connor Federal Courthouse in downtown Phoenix to protest Sheriff Joe Arpaio's immigration abuses.  Zack on point during the march... Led by Rage Against the Machine frontman Zack de la Rocha, as well Phoenix civil rights activist Salvador Reza, and Maricopa County

  Dennis Gilman's video of the Saturday march, featuring Shannon Rivers of the Akimel O'odham people. Gilman's video of the Saturday anti-Arpaio protest led by Zack de la Rocha is particularly cool because of an address he captured at the beginning of the march, given by Shannon Rivers of the Akimel O'odham people. His comments are both ironic and inspiring, especially considering the fact that Arizona, as a state, is still less than 100 years old. And his people were here long before the white

• New York Times, Huffington Post Weigh in on Anti-Arpaio March

  Proving once more that the anti-Arpaio march that went down this weekend in Phoenix has, um, legs, both the Huffington Post and the New York Times editorial board have put their respective two cents in on the Zack de la Rocha-led anti-Arpaio protest. The Huffington Post had a two-woman film crew on the ground during the event, and they were getting advice and technical assistance from -- guess who? -- the man the nativists love to hate, Dennis Gilman! Heh. Gilman goes Hollywood.

This is one I wish I could be in D.C. for: Tomorrow at 1 p.m., House Judiciary Chair John Conyers, Immigration Subcommittee Chairwoman Zoe Lofgren, and apparently our own Maricopa County Supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox, along with other national and local civil rights leaders, will publicly call on the Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security to invest

  The latest video from HumanLeague002 and Puente. There is one sure way to prove the cynical, prissy pundits, the professional tut-tutters right in regards to Sheriff Joe Arpaio: Do nothing. "Do nothing" is essentially the message to the streets from Huffington Post's Dawn Teo, a former PR rep who now lives in Arizona and writes for the HP. The title for her latest blog post, an analysis of the letter from the Department of Justice to Sheriff Arpaio informing our corrupt

  Zack talks about Arpaio and 287(g) with artist Ernesto Yerena I'll give you two reasons why demonstrators will be marching May 2 in Phoenix from the Wells Fargo building downtown -- where Sheriff Arpaio maintains two floors of pricey executive offices -- to Joe's Estrella Jail, a hellhole that's home to over 1,000 inmates, most of them women. One reason people will be protesting is the mistreatment of prisoners, undocumented and otherwise, inside Joe's gulags. Women have had their arms broken,

Or at least, that's what the people at the Firehouse (1015 North First Street) are saying is gonna happen.

  Is Sheriff Joe "America's Toughest Sheriff," or "America's Biggest Wimp"? That's what I can't help wondering as I read this latest press release from his PR staff. It lamely attempts to link the folks who protest Joe almost daily outside downtown Phoenix's Wells Fargo Building -- where Arpaio keeps two floors of ultra-expensive executive offices -- to Lou Dobbs' recent report that a gun was fired outside his house three weeks ago.
