    Lost in Queer Translation: From Gay Slurs to Colombian Slang
    Jul 27 2025

    When Andrés tried translating Colombian slang to his American boyfriend, he stumbled into a deeper question: what do these words really mean?

    In this episode, Andrés traces the roots of everyday slang in Colombian Spanish used not only by the queer community, but by the public at large.

    What he finds reveals more about his queerness and culture than he thought.

    In this story, he brings us the painful, often overlooked history behind a few words that he has been using both in his home country and here in the U.S.

    An ICE Raid at a Carwash and a New Tool Mapping the Terror in California
    Jul 25 2025

    Candido was working at a car wash when ICE agents pulled up in white vans, blocked all the entrances, and took him and his coworkers. The agents collected their phones but didn’t notice Candido’s Apple Watch right away. He used it to call his family, who otherwise wouldn't have known what happened to him.

    We hear his story, and then, Maria Hinojosa speaks with Cal Matters investigative reporter Sergio Olmos about a new tool that exposes ICE’s targeted strategy of terror against Latinos in California.
