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 [...]

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 [...]

Imperialism-Induced Fault Lines

The Venezuelan Earthquake By Chris Gilbert and Cira Pascual Marquina [Excerpts] https://mronline.org/2026/06/29/imperialism-induced-fault-lines-the-venezuelan-earthquake/ There is no such thing as a purely natural disaster, especially in a country under siege. Likewise, the response to any disaster is always mediated by social, political, and even geopolitical factors.

Idiocracy and the Great Grift

© by Mumia Abu-Jamal 06/2026 There's a movie that I saw a few years ago, and it's funny, but it's not funny. And it's very, very funny in the sense of, it will make you laugh. It might make you have a belly-laugh. But when you sit back and think about what it's showing you, your laughter will stop. It's called "Idiocracy." And it's about the rule of really stupid rulers, and [...]
