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 [...]

Fascist Attacks on Differently-Abled People

KPFK Disarming Itself Against Trump's Fascist Playbook by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action-Los Angeles/People Against Racist Terror (ARA-LA/PART) Trump and RFK Jr. are coming after people with disabilities, rejecting the applicability of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Unfortunately, KPFK no longer airs the Access Unlimited program focusing on disability rights and resources that I had restored to the air, and thus has lost the capacity to be a platform for that community in [...]

Pax Silica

May 1 International Workers’ Day General Strike

by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action-Los Angeles/People Against Racist Terror, https://antiracist.org May Day, the celebration of International Working People's Day on May 1, arose out of labor struggles in the United States (as did International Women's Day on March 8). Specifically, the struggle for the Eight-Hour Day and 40-hour work week as sufficient to support a working class family, and the campaign to free the anarchist political prisoners who faced the death penalty [...]

IWD – Women Against Imperialism

International Women's Day - Global Women's Strike Like May Day, International Women's Day has its origins in the US. First declared in 1909 by Theresa Malkiel of the Socialist Party of America to commemorate a women's garment workers strike in 1857 as National Women's Day, the commemoration was adopted on a resolution by Clara Zeitkin, another Socialist, at a Copenhagen conference in 1911. It focused on demands for equality, labor rights, and [...]

by Michael Novick, UTLA-retired As Change Links was going to press, the FBI raided LAUSD headquarters on Beaudry in DTLA and the home of superintendent Alberto Carvalho in San Pedro.

A-I, Labor, and the Future of LA, War & the World

Avalon Bl., Wilmington Part 1: https://youtu.be/oaPdrHmrOAI Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH3Xy5bf8Jo The first thing to understand about "artificial intelligence", A-I, is that it is military technology. The techno-fascist moguls promoting it are all military contractors with Trump's War Department. The principal driver of research and development in autonomous vehicles has been the US Army Tank Division. Elon Musk's [...]

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 [...]

Palantir Colonizes Los Angeles

by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action LA Palantir Technologies has long contracted with the LAPD to provide software and data analysis capacities that fuel "Pred-Pol",  predictive (some say, predatory) policing, and the widespread use of automated license plate readers that track and identify every vehicle on the streets of Los Angeles. Now Palantir is taking its act into the air above Los Angeles. Palantir has formed a partnership with Archer Aviation, aimed at [...]

Which Way KPFK & Pacifica?

By Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action LA A palace coup has taken place at KPFK and Pacifica -- a takeover by insiders known as "New Day Pacifica", who have disempowered listener and staff members and their elected delegates. The consequences for programming, and for the future of the listener-sponsored community-oriented radio station and network, are dire. Last November, KPFK eliminated its locally-produced environmental programming, including indigenous environmental voices, just before the worst environmental [...]
