Mumia Abu-Jamal: A Two-Tiered Justice System?

A two-tiered justice system? © by Mumia Abu-Jamal As soon as the latest charges against former U.S. President Donald Trump were announced, Trumpist acolytes began making claims about a two-tiered justice system ostensibly against Republicans.

The listener and staff elections for delegates on the local (and thereby national) boards of Pacifica radio stations, including KPFK here in Southern California, are underway. You needed to have become a member by June 30 to vote. This is a critical election over the future direction of KPFK and the Pacifica Foundation.

Report back From US Delegations To Cuba, June 17

Report back From US Delegations To Cuba: May Day, Trade Union & Solidarity Conferences With a population of 11 million, Cuba, 90 miles from the US, exists as an independent, sovereign and peaceful nation.

“Cracks in the Abode of Death”

“Cracks in the Abode of Death” by Mumia Abu-Jamal https://www.prisonradio.org/commentary/cracks-in-the-abode-of-death/ Few people really know the nature of death rows. It is used as a political prop by politicians and is thus a stepping stone to their gateway of power. But Death Row is really far more than that. It is a place where men and women and until recently even juveniles were sent to live and die in aching loneliness and despair. [...]
