Fascist Attacks on Differently-Abled People

KPFK Disarming Itself Against Trump's Fascist Playbook by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action-Los Angeles/People Against Racist Terror (ARA-LA/PART) Trump and RFK Jr. are coming after people with disabilities, rejecting the applicability of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Unfortunately, KPFK no longer airs the Access Unlimited program focusing on disability rights and resources that I had restored to the air, and thus has lost the capacity to be a platform for that community in [...]

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 [...]

Open The Eyes of Many

©08/2025 by Mumia Abu-Jamal (Spanish translation below) When we shine that bright light, we will symbolically, literally and figuratively, open the eyes of many. And there are guys walking around right now who have glaucoma, who have eye damage, who have lens damage, who have retinal damage due to diabetes, and all of that can be treated, can be cured, or at least held at bay for a pittance. You know, laser [...]

Bad News for Labor:

Federal Appeals Court Rules NLRB Restrictions on Removal are Unconstitutional by Matt Bruenig, Jacobin [Excerpts] https://portside.org/2025-08-24/fifth-circuit-ruled-nlrb-unconstitutional For the last year or so, federal district court judges in the Fifth Circuit have been enjoining the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) from processing unfair labor practice charges against employers in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.

It will make it harder for people to enroll in Medicaid or maintain their coverage and eliminates coverage for people who [...]

by Andrew Bates [Excerpts] When Republicans talk about impeaching judges, they are giving us an opportunity to show that corruption has a tangible, economic price — and it’s everyday people who pay it. When Trump raises the impeachment of judges, there’s another case that Democrats should steer the discussion toward. One that exemplifies how defending the rule of law from Trump’s criminal overreach is critical to the economic needs of middle-class families. [...]
