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?

No to the Spectacle of Death, No to the Whitewashing of Hate

By Marylin Cavanagh The killing of Charlie Kirk has triggered a wave of headlines, media trials, and a political spectacle where real justice seems to matter least. No one who defends human dignity can celebrate a death. Violence is not justice. But we also cannot accept that this case be used to silence dissent, whitewash years of hate speech, and normalize the idea that those who challenge political power and its mouthpieces [...]

Regarding Newsom’s Proposition 50 on Re-Districting

Proportional Representation Is the Solution to Gerrymandering by Luke Pickrell, DSA Texas Republicans have redrawn their US House map five years early, aiming to flip up to five Democratic seats in next year’s election. The move ignited a nationwide “high-stakes showdown” over gerrymandering, one that now stretches to California’s ballot this November. In response to the Texas GOP’s redistricting push, Democrats from the state traveled to California and Illinois to plan a [...]

Supreme Court watch: Take note of these dangerous cases

The U.S. Supreme Court has been lurking in the background since Trump took office. Their distressing recent rulings, such as the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022, and right-wing majority have people on edge. Many hot button cases are soon due for rulings, so it’s vital to closely track the court’s activity. Kerr v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic has made its way to the Supreme Court no doubt because of its [...]

Supreme Court Wields Law as a Weapon in Class War on the Poor

by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action-L.A. https://antiracist.org The latest decisions by the dominant far-right majority on the Supreme Court underscore the reality that "lawfare" is a form of class warfare, in which bourgeois illusions that the courts offer any protection for the rights of poor and working people or of nature only serve to disarm people's movements. The courts, particularly the US Supreme Court, are a manifestation of the undemocratic nature of the [...]
