The Most Important Thing You Can Share is History

© 7/2026 by Mumia Abu-Jamal https://www.prisonradio.org/commentary/message-to-galaxy-fellows/ The most important thing you can share -- the North Star you refer to -- is History.  Real history teaches why today is the way it is, today. Malcolm X used to say, History, of all our studies, best rewards our research. When he learned about history, it transformed him. The history of Black people in America opened his head and expanded his mind. It remade [...]

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 [...]

Letter To the Editor

"Whose station? Our station!" Shortly before 2:30 pm on June 17, 2026 a massive chemical fire broke out at a cold-storage facility in Boyle Heights.  Desperate Angelenos turned on KPFK---only to hear news from KPFA, Berkeley, where Bay Area weather was cool and sunny with patches off fog. Seven years earlier:  October, 2019.  New Yorkers who tuned into WBAI were astounded to hear, "You're listening to KPFA."  Reps from the Pacifica National [...]

Do US War Crimes Doom the World to Endless War and Chaos?

By Nicolas J. S. Davies On May 24, Iran rejected Pres. Trump’s latest fake peace deal, confirming that he had misrepresented what Iran had agreed to and that the two sides are still very far apart on nuclear enrichment, on control of the Strait of Hormuz, on peace in Palestine and Lebanon, and on lifting US sanctions, paying war reparations and Iran’s $100 billion in frozen assets. Iran’s conditions for a peace [...]

The US-Israeli War on Iran—and Washington’s Missing Exit Strategy

The War on Iran—and Washington’s Missing Exit Strategy by Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J. S. Davies The United States has once again launched a war in the Middle East based on false claims about weapons of mass destruction. Like the invasion of Iraq in 2003, the U.S. assault on Iran rests on allegations that international inspectors have already debunked. But beyond the false pretext lies an even more pressing question that few [...]

Normalizing Troops in US Streets

© by Mumia Abu-Jamal https://www.prisonradio.org/commentary/normalizing-troops-in-u-s-streets/ People always criticize the Congress, at least the Republicans in Congress for being too supine, and too prostrative when it comes to the president. Well, I don't think it's fair to charge just one branch of the government. We live in a country where the Supreme Court, which is the highest judicial power in the US, essentially gave unlimited power and immunity to the president on the [...]

Why the US-Israeli Alliance Will Lose against Iran

by Robert Inlakesh  https://english.almayadeen.net [Excerpts] If it were easy to launch a regime change operation against Iran, it would have been carried out many years ago. While it is impossible to predict precisely what the war on the Islamic Republic of Iran and its regional allies will result in, the ability to win the regional conflict is clear. The only thing driving this attack is sheer Israeli arrogance, as there is no [...]

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 [...]
