Margaret Kimberley was recently a guest on the Black Liberation Media program, Saturdays with Renee, with Renee Johnston and Jared Ball. They discussed the issue of birthright citizenship. Here are excerpts of their conversation. blackagendareport.com/birthright-c...

Trump's rant notwithstanding, Rob Reiner promoted accusations that Trump won in 2016 with Russian help. Reiner's video featuring Morgan Freeman, declaring war against Russia, was classic surveillance state war propaganda, as we noted in 2017. www.blackagendareport.com/morgan-freem...

Abayomi Azikiwe discusses the recent coup attempt in the Benin which ended with assistance from Nigeria and France. He analyzes events in Benin, Guinea-Bissau, Nigeria, the Alliance of Sahel States, and on the enduring impact of neo-colonialism in the region. blackagendareport.com/coup-attempt...

The Peoples Assembly for Peace and Sovereignty of Our Americas convened in Venezuela, but delegates were unable to attend due to the Trump administration no-fly zone. The Solidarity Center hosted a press conference on December 10th to condemn that action. blackagendareport.com/press-confer...

Arrests of members of the Turtle Island Liberation Front are the latest in a decades-long effort to criminalize the left and to make examples of anyone who might fit the profile of being a “designated terrorist.” blackagendareport.com/turtle-islan...

Trump’s anti-Somali rants are not directed only at that group. All Black/African people are seen as suspects, as ungrateful criminals who are deserving of punishment and scorn. He isn't alone in this thinking. My latest in @blackagendareport.bsky.social. www.blackagendareport.com/we-are-all-s....

Thanks to Jamarl Thomas for inviting me to discuss my contribution to the new anthology, China Changes Everything. www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2vB...

U.S. sanctions, violence, threats, and theft are war crimes waged against Venezuela for decades. A scandal about a “double tap” killing should not be the focus of attention. Read my latest in @blackagendareport.bsky.social. blackagendareport.com/double-tap-v...

Democrats recruit military veterans and former intelligence agency operatives to run for office in order to prove their pro-war credentials. A contrived fight with Donald Trump shouldn’t fool anyone. Read my latest in @blackagendareport.bsky.social. www.blackagendareport.com/illegal-orde...

The Trump administration’s latest threats against Venezuela are a reminder that U.S. aggression is bipartisan. In 2019, Glen Ford provided this analysis of a Democratic Party presidential debate. Even "progressives" supported Trump’s regime change plans. www.blackagendareport.com/glen-ford-bi...

Farah Imad is a lawyer and organizer of the International People's Tribunal for Palestine in Barcelona on November 22nd and 23rd. She has written about how international law and human rights are disregarded as genocide continues in Palestine. www.blackagendareport.com/index.php/in...

Voter support for the Democratic Party in the government shutdown showdown was irrelevant. The Senate capitulation was a cynical and inevitable endgame for a party devoted to the austerity race to the bottom. www.blackagendareport.com/democrats-tr...

Democrats fold, South Sudan and British colonialism, Gavin Newsom, Zohran Mamdani, Zone of Peace in the Americas, liberalism and Mamdani, Cabral and Rodney and Africa's petty bourgeoisie, Madagascar and French colonialism, and Israeli soldiers expose genocide. www.blackagendareport.com

Not only is there no genocide happening in Nigeria, but the false narrative is being used for United States nefarious purposes. @davidhundeyin.bsky.social explain in this interview with @margaretkimberley.bsky.social. www.blackagendareport.com/major-power-...

New Yorkers experienced some democracy with Zohran Mamdani's victory. But the outcome is a challenge to the democratic establishment and its donor class. They won't give up power easily in NYC or elsewhere. Read my latest in @blackagendareport.bsky.social. www.blackagendareport.com/zohran-mamda...

The conflict in Sudan is not well understood. But reading this article in Black Agenda Report will help you. www.blackagendareport.com/sudan-africa...

BAR's @margaretkimberley.bsky.social discussed Zohran Mamdani's race for mayor in NYC. www.blackagendareport.com/zohran-mamda...

U.S. threats against Venezuela are impacting neighboring countries too, and not in a good way. www.blackagendareport.com/us-threats-a...

The government shutdown is a fight between Trump and democrats, but is also emblematic of the tenuous nature of the welfare state. The duopoly parties are both committed to carrying out austerity policies on behalf of the ruling class. Read my latest. www.blackagendareport.com/shutdown-and...

Trump is waging war against us. He told us so, as we pointed out in Black Agenda Report recently. Contributing editor, Ajamu Baraka, also provides analysis.

In this week’s segment we hear analysis of the Gaza peace agreement, why it took place, and the future of Palestine. But first we hear about data centers, A.I., and their negative impact on the people of Jackson, Mississippi and beyond. www.blackagendareport.com/black-agenda...

The peoples of the world know who is fighting for peace, and who, like this year’s "peace prize" winner, Maria Corina Machado, is an imperialist tool. Read my latest in @blackagendareport.bsky.social. www.blackagendareport.com/index.php/no...
