Resist Rubio’s McCarthyite Attacks on Cuba, the Black Freedom Struggle, and the Left

by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action Los Angeles (ARA-LA/PART) At a recent international gathering of right-wing states and parties, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, angling to run again for US president as a MAGA hard-liner this time, delivered a speech and a 100+ page document attacking Cuba, the Black freedom struggle in the US, and anything to the left of MAGA, as violence-prone communists intent on subversion. This new McCarthyism seeks to [...]

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 [...]

What is Black August?

by Thandisizwe Chimurenga Black August is observed every year to commemorate the fallen freedom fighters of the Black Liberation Movement, to call for the release of political prisoners in the United States, to condemn the oppressive conditions of U.S. prisons, and to emphasize the continued importance of the Black Liberation struggle. Black August originated in the concentration camps (prisons) of California in 1979 and its roots come from that history of resistance [...]

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 [...]

One Struggle, Many Fronts - Uniting the Many to Defeat the Few! by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action-Los Angeles (ARA-LA/PART) https://antiracist.org Just over a month in power, the Trump-Vance-Musk regime and its acolytes and minions are continuing their rapid-fire and relentless assaults on labor, immigrants, Black, Indigenous, Raza, and Asian-Pacific Islander people, women, LGBTQIA+ people, public health, education, freedom of speech and the press, the environment, and international solidarity, while encouraging other fascist [...]

What Republicans Really Mean When They Blame ‘DEI’

What Republicans Really Mean When They Blame ‘DEI’ Referencing DEI is the new rightwing abstraction deployed by Republicans to conceal their anti-Black racism by  Mehdi Hasan [excerpts] ‘DEI is a racist dogwhistle. Blame Black people is the not so unsubtle message.’ In 1981, Lee Atwater, the most influential Republican party strategist of the late 20th century, sat down for an off-the-record interview with the political scientist Alexander P Lamis. At the time, [...]

Capitalism & Colonialism are the Disaster – Solidarity & Liberation are the Solution

by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action-Los Angeles/People Against Racist Terror (ARA-LA/PART) https://antiracist.org/rebuilding-los-angeles/ The incineration of large parts of the Los Angeles area represents the extent to which settler colonial capitalism has sown the wind and reaped the whirlwind. It is the outcome of generations, centuries, of exploitation, land theft, genocide, privatization, gentrification, fossil fuel extraction and other social ills, economic crimes, and political malfeasance. In the wake of the massive and ongoing destruction, [...]

The End of Empire?

©2024 11/18/24 by Mumia Abu-Jamal https://www.prisonradio.org/commentary/the-end-of-empire/ For years I’ve studied the histories of empires, especially their rise and their fall. Europe’s most illustrious example, Rome, grew from a city to a state and finally a world empire. When their men tired of fighting, they trained non-Romans in their war tactics, and when they were treated with contempt by Romans, they responded by sacking the city and stealing their treasure before leaving. It [...]
