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, [...]

Highlights and Lowlights of 2024

By Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action LA Some stories made a lot of news but not much difference in 2024. Some really significant stories and developments went unreported in the corporate media, and sometimes even the left press. The genocidal Israeli attacks on Palestinians, fully backed and financed by the US, entered its second year, and expanded into Israeli attacks on Lebanon, Yemen and Iran, as well as the swift US-Turkiye-Israel invasions into [...]

Laws taking effect in CA January 1, 2025

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.

Counterpoint: No Peace with the GOP or Dems!

by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action Los Angeles I agree with Steve Edinger about the warmongering and imperialist nature of the Democratic Party, the Biden-Harris administration, and the Harris-Walz campaign, and the threat Democratic Party forces pose to Pacifica. But to see the Republican Party, or figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene as legitimate opponents of war or intervention, or worthy of our support, is a dangerous illusion. As Steve himself acknowledges, only 21 [...]

Reactionary Results in California Vote

The Democrats seeking to "flip" seats back to their party in CA all supported Prop. 36, which turned drug and petty property crimes into felonies, and the electorate followed suit, adopting the measure which strengthened the three strikes approach, and rejected Prop. 6, which would have abolished slavery (involuntary servitude) inside CA prisons. Voters also adopted a measure targeted at the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, whose Housing is a Human Rights campaign has [...]

Billionaires Want More

The Billionaires Want More, More, More By Bernie Sanders The billionaires are on the warpath. They want more, more, more. In 2007, the top 1 percent of all income earners in the United States made 23.5 percent of all income -- more than the bottom 50 percent. Not enough! The percentage of income going to the top 1 percent nearly tripled since the mid-1970s. Not enough! Eighty percent of all new income [...]
