Luqman Nation

The US media is hard at work trying to delegitimize Nicaragua's elections, with lies so easily debunked it would be laughable if the propensity for those who believe imperialist US media weren't to always believe the party line.

I don't commemorate 9/11, but I have personal reasons to never forget it and how this country waged a war with its own people.

The latest white rage arrest at the US Capitol exposes the hypocrisy of this system and the difference between the right-wing revolt they want and the real people's revolution we actually need.

I'm not sure what about the 19th Amendment I'm supposed to celebrate when it - and the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments before it - did little to guarantee unrestricted ballot access to Black people.

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.
