by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action Los Angeles/People Against Racist Terror (ARA-LA/PART) https://antiracist.org/pax-silica/ Talk about Orwellian Double-Speak.

It is being [...]

Stephen Miller Lied: Removing Migrant Workers Reduced Jobs for Everyone, Including White Men Pablo Manríquez, Migrant Insider [Excerpts] https://substack.com/@pablo/p-196878542 The promise was simple, and Stephen Miller has been making it for years: clear out undocumented workers, and US-born workers get their jobs.

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 [...]

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 [...]

Palantir Colonizes Los Angeles

by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action LA Palantir Technologies has long contracted with the LAPD to provide software and data analysis capacities that fuel "Pred-Pol",  predictive (some say, predatory) policing, and the widespread use of automated license plate readers that track and identify every vehicle on the streets of Los Angeles. Now Palantir is taking its act into the air above Los Angeles. Palantir has formed a partnership with Archer Aviation, aimed at [...]

Educators Oppose New CA Law

A new law claiming to be vital for protecting Jewish students from antisemitic bullying and discrimination was opposed by every statewide education group and dozens of community organizations who say it creates a threat that criticism of Israel, or discussion of topics like the Nakba, could be challenged as discriminatory towards Jewish students. The legislation - AB 715 and SB 48 - creates state “discrimination prevention coordinators” who train K-12 educators and [...]

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.

Los Angeles ignites: from raids to resistance, and more repression

Wounds were bandaged under clouds of tear gas. Angelenos were enraged and poured into the streets on June 6, following early morning ICE raids across the city.

The Utter Cruelty and Inhumanity of Trump’s Immigration Policy Towards Haitians

by Charlie Hinton The US government is threatening mass deportations of Haitians enrolled in two programs - Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and the Haitian Family Reunification Parole (HFRP) Program. Temporary Protected Status (TPS) allows foreign nationals from designated countries to live and work in the US temporarily due to unsafe conditions in their home countries - like ongoing armed conflict or an environmental disaster - that would prevent them from returning home [...]
