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 [...]

Trump launches federal attack on so-called “domestic terrorism”, sends troops to Portland

by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action-LA It should be noted that although pundits have responded to Trump's executive order declaring antifa a domestic terrorist group, by asserting that "antifa" is a loose political tendency, not an organization, this is not really true. Portland has an organized Rose City Antifa group that was originally part of the ARA Network (along with ARA-LA/PART and other chapters), and is now part of the TORCH Antifa Network, [...]

Advice to the Democratic Party and its National Leadership

Dear Change Links, The below letter appeared on some social media platforms, falsely attributed to Liz Cheney (a Republican). Here's Snopes' analysis of the letter:  [https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/liz-cheney-letter-to-democrats/] Seems to me that even though the letter forged Cheney's name, it has compelling ideas for opposing fascism and should be discussed. --- Ross Plesset Here's the letter as I came across it on Facebook: Dear Democratic Party, I need more from you. You keep sending [...]

Pacifica Radio Imperiled by MAGA and from Within

by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action LA The Pacifica Foundation and its mission of listener-sponsored radio for peace, justice and freedom of speech and cultural expression is in greater peril than it has ever been. Launched at the beginning of the Cold War and the McCarthy era of repression by a group of pacifists and war resisters, Pacifica was a key platform for anti-war voices, and for racial, gender and economic justice from [...]

Laws taking effect in CA January 1, 2025

From multiple reporting sources New laws in CA seek to prevent the use of digital replicas of Hollywood actors and performers without permission and to allow the estates of dead performers to sue over unauthorized AI use. Parents who make money on social media posts featuring their children will be required to set aside some earnings for the kids. The new allows children to sue their parents for failing to do so.

KPFK Local Station Board Faces Gestapo-Like Policies

By Bella De Soto In the past 2 months, a set of Gestapo-like disciplinary policies have taken center stage at meetings of the KPFK Local Station Board, instead of the Agenda itself!  Most KPFK local Station Board Committees like the Governance, Finance and Outreach committee have been closed down (Outreach was combined with Fundraising). The agenda for the next meeting, Jan. 12, 2025 at 10:30 AM Pacific, was posted at: https://www.kpftx.org/    [...]

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 [...]
