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 [...]

Paper Tiger
The Failure of America’s Trillion Dollar War Machine by Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J. S. Davies According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), the United States spent $21 trillion on its military between 2001 and 2024 (in constant 2024 dollars), equal to the combined military spending of the next eighteen countries. Iran barely made that list at all, spending only 2% of what the US did, and SIPRI estimated Iran’s [...]

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 [...]
