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, [...]

Haiti: Solidarity in a World at War

By Robert Roth, Haiti Action Committee [excerpts] As the world reels from the devastating U.S.-Israel war on Iran and Lebanon, and as the U.S.-backed Israeli genocide continues in Gaza and the West Bank, the Trump Administration’s plan to assert its dominance over the Americas is also moving forward at an unprecedented pace. Having kidnapped Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife and colleague, Cilia Flores, and taken control over Venezuela’s oil reserves, [...]

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 [...]

Beware Pro-Israel Lobby’s 2026 CA Agenda

by Marcy Winograd, Jewish Voice for Peace, CTA Caucus Jewish and Allied Educators for Palestine Almost overnight, the CA Jewish Public Affairs Committee (JPAC) changed its name to “Jewish California” [see: https://www.jewishcal.org/], a re-branding likely aimed at distancing JPAC’s image from that of AIPAC, a rhyming acronym for the toxic American Israel Public Affairs Committee. The re-branding of JPAC followed a 2025 interview [see: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DP0JTBhDRgh/] in which podcaster Van Latham asked California [...]

May 1 International Workers’ Day General Strike

by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action-Los Angeles/People Against Racist Terror, https://antiracist.org May Day, the celebration of International Working People's Day on May 1, arose out of labor struggles in the United States (as did International Women's Day on March 8). Specifically, the struggle for the Eight-Hour Day and 40-hour work week as sufficient to support a working class family, and the campaign to free the anarchist political prisoners who faced the death penalty [...]

Zionism Can Be Squelched

How to Defeat Zionism and Imperialism by Bella De Soto Zionism can be squelched if a majority of global countries joined forces, including China, Russia and India... Please study this map of the so-called "Middle East", see how tiny the illegal State of Israel is in comparison to the rest of that territorial map, circa 2012. No wonder the US has been pumping it up militarily for so many years! So we [...]

No I.C.E.! No War! No Fascist USA! Minnesota Shows the Way!

by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action Los Angeles/People Against Racist Terror (ARA-LA/PART) Whether you agree or disagree that Trump is a fascist or that fascism is already here, as George Jackson put it 55+ years ago, there is no doubt that the time for massive resistance and non-compliance is upon us. That is the only viable response to state efforts to terrorize civil society, stigmatize and red-bait any protest or political criticism as [...]

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 [...]

High Hypocrisy

Which Way KPFK & Pacifica?

By Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action LA A palace coup has taken place at KPFK and Pacifica -- a takeover by insiders known as "New Day Pacifica", who have disempowered listener and staff members and their elected delegates. The consequences for programming, and for the future of the listener-sponsored community-oriented radio station and network, are dire. Last November, KPFK eliminated its locally-produced environmental programming, including indigenous environmental voices, just before the worst environmental [...]
