30 May 2017
šŸ–Øļø Print Article

In an essay for Prison Radio, the nation’s best known political prisoner described President Donald Trump’s ā€œtweets and utterancesā€ as ā€œa daily cascade of craziness.ā€ ā€œNot since Watergate have we seen such a fury for the hide of a president,ā€ said Mumia Abu Jamal. ā€œThis smells of corruption, of capitalist greed and excess, and of imperial arrogance on a grand, global scale. This feels like the beginning of the end.ā€
