Life After Death Row

© 2026 by Mumia Abu-Jamal I always look to the ancestors, the old ones who came before us, who lived in these bodies before we were born; those who not only look like us, who walk like us, who talk like us, who dream like us, who feel like us, who weep like us; those who came before, those who suffered that which is today almost incomprehensible. Those are the people I [...]

Paper Tiger

The Failure of America’s Trillion Dollar War Machine by Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J. S. Davies​ According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), the United States spent $21 trillion on its military between 2001 and 2024 (in constant 2024 dollars), equal to the combined military spending of the next eighteen countries.

The Meaning of Labor Day

Ortega, Elections, and the Context Western Media Won’t Print

Has Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega really abolished elections? by Richard Balzano, The New Hampshire Gazette https://popularresistance.org/ortega-elections-and-the-context-western-media-wont-print/ “Crackdown.” “Democratic backsliding.” “Authoritarian grip.” Journalists persecuted, opposition parties crushed—and now, according to the latest eruption from the Western press, Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega has abolished elections. The peripheral left offers another interpretation: Ortega is preventing U.S.-backed political organizations implicated in subversion from participating in elections, while Nicaragua has restricted media organizations with subversive ties to [...]

The Only Kill Switch We Need

Inside Labor's AI Data Center Split by Ginny Hogan [Excerpts] https://www.laborpolitics.com/p/the-only-kill-switch-weve-got Several weeks ago, Jason Kelce (football player, podcaster, Taylor Swift’s brother-in-law) starred in an ad asking Americans to pee in jars and send them to their nearest AI data center. The spot – a collaboration between Liquid Death and Kelce’s own Garage Beer – was nominally about water consumption. Mostly, though, it was evidence that hating on data centers has gone [...]

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.
