    Trump and Democrats fuel the Washington DC crime panic

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on August 13, 2025 (more by Black Agenda Report)  |

    Donald Trump’s takeover of the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Police Department is not merely a result of his racist and authoritarian tendencies, nor is it new. It is part and parcel of a history of militarized policing against Black people and a bipartisan consensus promoting racist crime panics, which are often conducted with the help of the Black misleadership class.

    The Green Zone of controlled opposition (or, how The U.S. Climate Network became agents of Climate Inaction)

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on August 6, 2025 by Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright (more by Black Agenda Report)  | (Posted Aug 09, 2025)

    The U.S. climate movement claims to fight for change while systematically silencing radical action. This isn’t resistance. It’s controlled opposition dressed in green.

    Stagflation returns, shining a spotlight on the Federal Reserve’s war on the working class

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on August 6, 2025 by Jon Jeter (more by Black Agenda Report)  | (Posted Aug 08, 2025)

    History exposes the Fed’s inflation fight for what it truly is: a decades-long class war waged against working people under the guise of monetary policy.

  •  | ICE raids | MR Online

    Trump’s concentration camps are not new to the U.S.

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on July 16, 2025 (more by Black Agenda Report)  |

    Outrage over ICE raids rings hollow while 2 million languish in prisons. America has always had concentration camps. We just reserve our anger for the ones with TV cameras.

    Collaborators like Al Sharpton can’t assist Zohran Mamdani with circumventing pigmentation politics and the Black misleadership class…but principled Black radical organizing can

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on July 9, 2025 by Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright (more by Black Agenda Report)  | (Posted Jul 16, 2025)

    Zohran Mamdani’s victory rattled NYC’s political elite. But to win Black voters and defeat the Democrat machine, he must reject Al Sharpton’s co-optation and align with radical Black organizers.

  •  | Zohran Mamdani | MR Online

    New York Times joins a White Supremacist in attacking Zohran Mamdani

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on July 9, 2025 (more by Black Agenda Report)  |

    Zohran Mamdani, the choice of Democratic Party voters in New York City, is anathema to the billionaire class. So much so that the New York Times elevated the work of a white supremacist in an effort to derail what the people want.

    The necessity of birthright citizenship for Black People

    Margaret Kimberley

    Black citizenship was non-existent for the first 200 years that enslaved and free people were present in what became the United States. Even long-standing legal victories are tenuous, and now birthright citizenship is at risk.

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on June 25, 2025 (more by Black Agenda Report)  |

    The U.S. and Israel’s unchecked aggression has plunged the world into a lawless state of imperial violence—yet their latest attacks on Iran have only exposed the limits of colonial power.

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on June 25, 2025 (more by Black Agenda Report)  |

    Popular resistance against the Trump administration in Los Angeles and other cities is a very positive development and one that Black people must embrace.

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on June 4, 2025 by Abdirahman M. Ahmed (more by Black Agenda Report)  | (Posted Jun 11, 2025)

    The Horn of Africa was filled with hope in 2018, when Somali President Mohammed Abdullahi Mohammed, Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki, and Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed signed an agreement promising regional cooperation on trade, culture, and security, but that hope has been dashed by renewed conflict.

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on May 28, 2025 by Black Agenda Report Editors (more by Black Agenda Report)  | (Posted Jun 04, 2025)

    The zionist terrorist entity does not act alone. Over the 600 days of the genocide of the Palestinians, the United States has shipped 800 planeloads, carrying more than 90,000 tons of missiles, bombs, and military equipment, to the zionist entity.

    Charles Rangel and the end of Black politics

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on May 28, 2025 (more by Black Agenda Report)  |

    The late Charles Rangel served as a member of the Congressional Black Caucus for more than 40 years. But the goals of Black politics and electoral politics are not necessarily the same.

    Fleeing imaginary persecution at home, South African ‘refugees’ may find the grass is not greener in America

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on May 14, 2025 by Jon Jeter (more by Black Agenda Report)  | (Posted May 15, 2025)

    The Trump administration’s decision to fast-track asylum for white South Africans—claiming “persecution”—is a political stunt, ignoring that they remain among the wealthiest globally, still controlling most of the country’s land and resources decades after apartheid allegedly ended.
