I apologize in advance for all MY terrible pronunciations, but at least I did more than play "Despacito," which is all Joe Biden did to reach out to Chicano voters during "Hispanic" Heritage Month. But it was actually much, much worse...
The effects of climate change are real, we can't imagine them away or run away from the fight. Are we going to fight for our lives, or are we doing to keep believing the politicians and THEIR LIES?
When we in the US are constantly admonished to "Never Forget" 9/11, what they don't want us to ever know is all of the horrible acts the US was involved in on so many 9/11s before 2001 that led to the only 9/11 we pay attention to. We had better stop ignoring how US imperialism destroys lives around the world.
While Julian Assange is facing what appears to be a sham of an extradition trial in the UK, the fate of independent journalism in the US also hangs in the balance.
People love to blame Trump on the rise of fascism in the US, but the young Chairman of the Chicago Chapter of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense Fred Hampton said back in 1968 that fascism will kill us all. If Hampton and the Panthers were fighting fascism then, what would have happened if instead of the fascist state killing him, Americans would have listened to him and fought the fascist state?
The obvious push by the Trumpublicans to woo women voters who might have been turned off by Trump's horribleness was slick, but not so slick that we didn't see how sick it was. Will it work, though? We shall see...
The New March on Washington might have been a media spectacle for Sharpton, but dismissing its effectiveness doesn't negate that the issues from the original have been intentionally ignored and have brought us right to this moment in history.
While some obsess over property damage, the long history of Kenosha PD's abuse of mostly Black Kenoshans is ignored, and the racist foot soldiers for empire put their years of training and organizing for hate to use.
The Black Lineup at the Republican National Conventions is just as horrible as the Republican Lineup at the Democratic National Convention and now we can't tell either convention apart!
I expected a train wreck at the Democratic National Convention. I was not disappointed.
It’s important that we point out how comfortable some people have become with accepting classism in their push to get Biden and Harris elected because they believe Donald Trump is an existential threat to all life on earth and using Black celebrities and luminaries to do it.
Happy Birthday, Brother Marcus Garvey, founder of the UNIA, organizer of the Black masses, father of the beloved red, black and green; vanguard of the movement for Black unity and liberation around the world.
Why are so many Black people claiming excitement over Kamala Harris as VP running mate and completely disregarding her horrendous law enforcement record that caused real harm to real people? Could it be...classism?
The fixation on conspiracy theories and the condemnation of "looters and rioters" exposes the ideological and solidarity weaknesses among the so-called progressive left. And it's something Black progressives have been warning you about for years. SUPPORT LUQMAN NATION ON PATREON.COM/LUQMANNATION
The media is giving Nancy Pelosi all the credit for ending the shutdown, but we do not think she deserves it. The real work was done by the federal workers who just said, "Nah, not working for free." And, did an extended video of the MAGA Teens Incident last week change the narrative about the fracas? We say it does not - they are exactly who we saw them to be in the first place. So why is the media exonerating them?
Jacqueline Luqman illustrates how progressive ignorance of its own racism inadvertently helps the so-called alt-right. Jacquie also warns us about alt-right agents in our midst posing as progressives, and we've been warning progressives about this for years.
