Resist Rubio’s McCarthyite Attacks on Cuba, the Black Freedom Struggle, and the Left

by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action Los Angeles (ARA-LA/PART) At a recent international gathering of right-wing states and parties, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, angling to run again for US president as a MAGA hard-liner this time, delivered a speech and a 100+ page document attacking Cuba, the Black freedom struggle in the US, and anything to the left of MAGA, as violence-prone communists intent on subversion. This new McCarthyism seeks to [...]

The White Supremacist Imperative on Violence

A Black Radical Perspective on the US/EU/NATO Axis of Domination Margaret Kimberly interviews Ajamu Baraka on Black Agenda Report [excerpts] https://blackagendareport.com/white-supremacist-imperative-violence-black-radical-perspective-useunato-axis-domination MK:  The US attacked Iran on February 28 and did so underestimating Iran’s ability to defend itself. Iran then closed the Strait of Hormuz. The US was forced to enter into talks with Iran, which ended with a Memorandum of Understanding. Anyone serious realized that this was not to be trusted, [...]

NATIONAL MOBILIZATION AGAINST GENOCIDES

July 4, 2026 - Atlanta Georgia Today's reading of the US Declaration of Independence leaves little to celebrate. The forefathers of the USA called to dissolve the political bonds that connected their new colonies to the British empire. However, the masses of people living here, created equal in the eyes of God/Allah/the Great Spirit, were in no way treated equally or free by those who proclaimed this land to be the “United [...]

Normalizing Troops in US Streets

© by Mumia Abu-Jamal https://www.prisonradio.org/commentary/normalizing-troops-in-u-s-streets/ People always criticize the Congress, at least the Republicans in Congress for being too supine, and too prostrative when it comes to the president. Well, I don't think it's fair to charge just one branch of the government. We live in a country where the Supreme Court, which is the highest judicial power in the US, essentially gave unlimited power and immunity to the president on the [...]

Into the Buzz-saw

© 2026 by Mumia Abu-Jamal https://www.prisonradio.org/commentaries/ [In commercial journalism], you either serve the Emperor or you serve the Empire, but you serve power. And if you don't, you get tossed. Think about this -- Into the Buzzsaw, that was one of the best books I ever read about journalism, because it was real cases of real journalists all across the nation, who found out stuff and tried to report it, and collided [...]

Poetry Corner: ENVY

ENVY (2025) By Kevin "Rashid" Johnson   I've seen them Angry misleaders People cheaters The bottom feeders Those who Resent the honest Hate and envy the true Feeling you're taking Acclaim they're due Is this you?   What some call Haters Fakers Infiltrators Insecure attention seekers Needy instigators But what the people need Are genuine leaders And teachers Those who truly care Not about their own Selfish urges But the people's welfare [...]

Welcome to the 2nd Quarter of the 21st Century!

by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action Los Angeles (ARA-LA/PART) A "year in review" summary, as has been traditional in the January issue of Change Links annually, would recapitulate the horrors of the first year of Trump II, with which we are all too achingly familiar. I am instead going to take a longer view, and look back over the past quarter-century to see what got us into this deepening political, moral, economic and [...]

That Which Is To Come

© Dec. 26, 2025 by Mumia Abu-Jamal https://www.prisonradio.org/commentary/that-which-is-to-come/ It is foolish for us to predict what is to come. For life is full of variables, and none can see the whole. But sometimes, some things, are so clear that they impress themselves upon the mind, and leave a mark that cannot be undone. This seems to be such a time. The turning gears of this machine are not just the ruinous effects [...]

Wars of the Freedom of Speech

© 11/17/2025 by Mumia Abu-Jamal The US gets kudos all around the world for its heralded First Amendment rights, including the right to freedom of speech. Does the record suggest that? Let's examine it. Years ago, during the last month of the '60s, about four young brothers, including myself, went to the Spectrum, a huge arena in South Philly, to protest the appearance of Governor George Wallace, of Alabama, who was there [...]
