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 [...]

The Most Important Thing You Can Share is History

© 7/2026 by Mumia Abu-Jamal https://www.prisonradio.org/commentary/message-to-galaxy-fellows/ The most important thing you can share -- the North Star you refer to -- is History.  Real history teaches why today is the way it is, today.

The history of Black people in America opened his head and expanded his mind. It remade [...]

Haiti: Solidarity in a World at War

By Robert Roth, Haiti Action Committee [excerpts] As the world reels from the devastating U.S.-Israel war on Iran and Lebanon, and as the U.S.-backed Israeli genocide continues in Gaza and the West Bank, the Trump Administration’s plan to assert its dominance over the Americas is also moving forward at an unprecedented pace.

Idiocracy and the Great Grift

© by Mumia Abu-Jamal 06/2026 There's a movie that I saw a few years ago, and it's funny, but it's not funny. And it's very, very funny in the sense of, it will make you laugh. It might make you have a belly-laugh. But when you sit back and think about what it's showing you, your laughter will stop. It's called "Idiocracy." And it's about the rule of really stupid rulers, and [...]

Beware Pro-Israel Lobby’s 2026 CA Agenda

by Marcy Winograd, Jewish Voice for Peace, CTA Caucus Jewish and Allied Educators for Palestine Almost overnight, the CA Jewish Public Affairs Committee (JPAC) changed its name to “Jewish California” [see: https://www.jewishcal.org/], a re-branding likely aimed at distancing JPAC’s image from that of AIPAC, a rhyming acronym for the toxic American Israel Public Affairs Committee. The re-branding of JPAC followed a 2025 interview [see: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DP0JTBhDRgh/] in which podcaster Van Latham asked California [...]

The War Before the War

© by Mumia Abu-Jamal https://www.prisonradio.org/commentary/the-war-before-the-war/ As bombs explode and wreak havoc across the Middle East, one wonders, What will come of this? This question arises because of events that happened over 70 years ago. 1953, to be exact, when spies from the CIA and British intelligence hatched a plan to remove Iran's democratically elected leader, Mohammad Mosaddegh, removed from power because he supported the nationalization of his country's vast oil reserves. The [...]

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 [...]
