Biden's speech about Afghanistan oozed with the contempt for Afghans that the US has shown the entire time they've been dropping bombs in the country. Afghanistan may not be his fault, but the defense of US imperialism with white supremacist tropes about lazy, cowardly, ignorant Afghans is.
How a Hollywood movie turned the obscene tragedy of US imperialist involvement in Afghanistan into the lighthearted comedy-drama, while the truth was the tragedy of a pointless 20-year war and the creation of the Taliban.
How the Trump Administration's meddling in the 2020 Census may still pay off for the GOP, especially since they had help from the inside...that's still there.
Why Nina Turner lost, and was Cori Bush's sleepout political theater?
How's the garden doing, you ask? Well, I'll tell you! And I'll tell you why it's important.
Simone Biles putting her physical and mental health first is the exception to that we all should have the luxury of partaking in. And this is especially true of us radicals trying to fight the system that makes it this way.
Daniel Hale was sentenced to nearly 4 years in prison. Let's be very clear about why, and it wasn't because he violated any law about spying.
Daniel Hale is a hero for exposing the continued callous disregard of life by the imperialist US regime. But he will be treated as an enemy of the state for exposing that truth.
US corporate media's propaganda against China doesn't hide the true megalomaniacal oppressive despot on the planet. And it's not Xi Jingping.
On Assata's birthday, let's remember what she taught us - that she is a freedom fighter not a terrorist, and she taught us how to fight. For her and for Cuba against the United Snakes attacking them both.
What do Haiti and Hawai'i have in common? US business interests backing fascist violence and imperialist oppression.
My tribute to my beloved Papa Bear Lugman, who charted this course that led us to Luqman Nation.
Kamala's trip to Guatemala was a disaster that we hope follows her around like a bad smell for the rest of her political career! And growing a garden is a great relaxation, but it is also a deeply political act of self-determination.
What is happening in Palestine isn't a religious clash, it's settler colonialism with white supremacy at its root. You can't expect US officials who defend settler colonialism here to do anything other than support it there.
Some of y'all's colonized thinking and cop copping is dangerous and disgusting.
Of course it's good that Derek Chauvin was punished for his crime. But let's not fall for the liberal framing of his conviction as any kind of progress for eliminating the racial terrorism of the cops. Because that's still happenine.
As the tension mounts in the country as we wait for the jury verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial, Maxine Waters' comments are being framed as the spark that could light the tinderbox. Of course they aren't, but the politicians who want to start an "Anglo Saxon Caucus" believe they are. And the corporate media is finally honest about the brutality of the police - after they were victims of it.
All these questions about where Adam Toleda's parents were are some white conservative respectability BS that they didn't ask about Kyle Rittenhouse, who actually murdered two people. And amid all the horror of this week, how I keep myself grounded and still plot a little mini revolution in the process.
The lasting trauma of what witnesses in the trial of Derek Chauvin testified to show how racism affects entire communities, and ultimately the entire country.
The long history of solidarity among Asians with the Black struggle should inform us of the need to continue and return that solidarity today; and how the Paris Commune still influences movements in the struggle for justice today.
Yes the COVID relief bill was needed, but temporary solutions to systemic problems don't make a messiah. And the history of women in the labor struggle continues with the Bread & Roses Strike
How are people surprised that the colonialist royal family are raging racists?? HOW??
Senate Democrats staying silent and letting Senate Republicans disparage oppressed people STILL rising up against police terrorism in those BS hearings on the 1/6 fascist attack on the Capitol, on the anniversary of the beating of Rodney King, was a grave sin of omission.
The long history of white supremacist terrorism in the US is directly connected to the racist terrorism at the US Capitol on Jan 6, and the everyday terrorism against Black, Brown, and other marginalized people on a regular basis.
Biden's COVID memorial ceremony was touching. And still doesn't come close to the kind of response to COVID that we need from this administration.
What made Malcolm X and Claudia Jones so dangerous to the system, even though they were continents apart? The Black demand for international working class solidarity they championed. That is still a threat to the system. And so are we.
Ted and Heidi Cruz are typical of the elite mentality that plagues us all. And the history behind why we Luqmans are internationalists. We were taught well.
The rugged individualist privatization of Texas's utility infrastructure and services, and the American exceptionalism of Kroger's capitalism have created massive suffering for people in the failed third world state of America.
