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 [...]

Poetry corner: Conspiracy Theories Versus Class War

Conspiracy Theories Versus Class War (2026) by Kevin "Rashid" Johnson, Minister of Defense, Revolutionary Intercommunal Black Panther Party [Excerpt]   We remain oppressed Made weary Confused in our struggles By conspiracy theories   Just another brand Of superstition To keep us on a mission And the real truth missing   Why we're oppressed And by whom Distracted from seeing The elephant in the room.   From Illuminati and Jews To Freemasons We [...]

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 [...]

Every Day is Earth Day

High on the list of the crimes against humanity carried out by Donald J. Trump and his administration in the few short months of his second regime, along with unleashing and rearming a new Israeli genocide in Gaza, the bombardment of Yemen, the effort to destroy Social Security and the rest of the social safety net, the deportations and criminalization of hundreds of thousands of migrants and refugees, and the attack on [...]

When Will We Ever Learn?

by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action-Los Angeles/People Against Racist Terror (ARA-LA/PART) Many people were stunned by the outcome of the presidential election, and the decisive, if close, victory of Donald Trump. How, they ask, could so many millions of people vote for an open racist and misogynist, immigrant-bashing vengeful narcissist who promised to be a dictator on day one, who has encouraged and unleashed openly fascist thugs, and who plans to use the [...]

Project 2025, Agenda 47, and Conflicts within the Right

by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action Los Angeles/People Against Racist Terror (ARA-LA/PART) https://antiracist.org/project-2024-agenda-47-and-conflicts-within-the-right/ It would be wrong to assume  that Donald J. Trump's distancing himself from Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation-produced "Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise", is only an electoral ploy. It is true that the Project 2025 playbook and plan for an incoming "conservative" administration to hit the ground running has become a target for Democrats, and a potentially-damaging target on [...]

Mumia Abu-Jamal: The Quest for Abolition

© 2023 by Mumia Abu-Jamal How do we arrive at this place we call abolition? What are the roads to such a destination?  We arrive from the almost-lost lessons of history, shaped by generations of ancestors who struggled their whole lives for that rare breath of freedom and yearned with all their hearts that we, their progeny, would one day breathe free air. For abolition stems from the long, hard struggle against [...]
