by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action-Los Angeles/People Against Racist Terror (ARA-LA/PART) https://antiracist.org/the-mid-term-elections-will-not-save-us-from-fascism/ The so-called “mid-term” elections are less than a month away. Yet the very name underscores the centrality and primacy of executive power and the imperial presidency within the US political system. The election is “mid-term” only in reference to the four-year term of whoever is in the White House. The representatives and senators seeking re-election are at the END of their [...]

Litigation Initiated Against Unfair Pacifica Election Process

A legal process was begun this week against the just-concluded Pacifica elections for national and local board members under the new, improperly-imposed Bylaws.

Ortega, Elections, and the Context Western Media Won’t Print

Has Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega really abolished elections? by Richard Balzano, The New Hampshire Gazette https://popularresistance.org/ortega-elections-and-the-context-western-media-wont-print/ “Crackdown.” “Democratic backsliding.” “Authoritarian grip.” Journalists persecuted, opposition parties crushed—and now, according to the latest eruption from the Western press, Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega has abolished elections. The peripheral left offers another interpretation: Ortega is preventing U.S.-backed political organizations implicated in subversion from participating in elections, while Nicaragua has restricted media organizations with subversive ties to [...]
