It's been 600 days of genocide. It's impossible to put into words the horrors, and it is actually impossible to count the destruction, with so many still lost beneath the rubble that is now Gaza. 

Meanwhile, Israel's sadism somehow always finds a way to escalate - this time with supposed "aid" that sees Palestinians kettled and massacred while hoping for food. What can we expect from an aid organization backed by Mossad and the US?

The math is pretty simple - and I say that as someone who isn't good at math. Trump's bill cuts medicaid, food stamps & the paltry environmental protections we had in order to pay for MASSIVE tax cuts and income raises for the richest of the rich. 

Meanwhile, Israel shoots at diplomats in the West Bank becasue you know, why not? Corporate media falls over itself to make it seem like no big deal, just like they do with genocide.

Despite record medicaid enrollment, members of Congress seek to slash it at the same time they're making it possible for Israel to bomb hospitals. 

Meanwhile, here at home, corporate media is turning the kidnapping of a toddler into a feel-good story as the domestic Gestapo we know as ICE gets more and more funding - something that has been a bipartisan effort really since its inception. 

Speaking of domestic issues, Ukraine isn't ...

Another day in the land of the free!

NYPD violently attacks and arrests students at Columbia University. Meanwhile, a new look at the latest budget with more than $1 trillion to the miltary and significantly less to, well, everything else. 

US boots vis a vis private contractors will likely soon be on the ground in Gaza to help administer Israel's ethnic cleansing and apartheid.

PLUS overcrowding ICE concentration camps, remarkable...

Oh the land of the freeeeeeeeee!

Prosecuting thought crimes because hey, why not? Breaking down and contextualizing our times not to minimize the seriousness but to understand where we are, how we got here, and how we get out.

It's a scary time to get loud, but it's also an important time to get loud. Self-censorship and obeying in advance will not stem the tide of fascism. 

PLUS a look at the empirical absurdity of property, unpac...

2024 was the deadliest year on record in a lot of ways, but not least of all for migrants. A new report by the UN shows highlights violent anti-immigration policies as a global terror, and one that'll only become more deadly thanks to compounding factors like climate chaos and "war."

Speaking of deadly, Israel has targeted and murdered more journalists in a continued rampage not only against all Palestinians but against the truth o...

The genocide that didn't really end has begun again. Israel may also be planning a ground invasion. 

Meanwhile, here at home, the cruelty of ICE lays bare the terrorism and foundational white supremacy of the United States. To be clear, Trump's presidency is terrifying and it is also not a new boil on the sick body politic - he's a continuation, a leveling up of a grotesque system that made someone like him possible. 

And what leve...

Dems aren't the opposition, but they want you to think they are, and more importantly they want you to know their "opposition" is the only kind that's acceptable. 

Meanwhile, DOGE's claims of "saving money" are b.s. And even if they did manage to save some money, you and I aren't seeing it. 

The ports of the world are being bought up, mostly by one asset management firm. To quote the great movie Network, there are no countries, onl...

The so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is off to a helluva start, firing everybody from park rangers to nuclear scientists. Is this bad? Yup. Is it as bad as liberal America would have you believe? Nope. 

Speaking of not what liberal America would have you think, DEI wasn't the white (or non-white) knight in shining armor we were supposed to take it for. 

Something that IS as awesome as it seems is how folks are o...

US empire has decided not to push for NATO membership for Ukraine, thereby back peddling the proxy war against Russia. 

Meanwhile, Trump n friends are sending 5,000 troops to the border bc the Gestapo (CBP/ICE) need support in their human rights violations. And private prisons stand to make even more bank as detentions of migrants and refugees are expected to skyrocket. 

Violence in the West Bank is at levels not seen since the las...

This final season of America is a doozy! But at least we have humor. 

Some of the most amazing utterances were made in Congress the other day during the RFK, Jr. hearings. 

Meanwhile, the Laken Riley Act has passed which is yet another reveal of the deep anti-immigrant bipartisan policy of the US. Recent ICE raids include the arrest of Inidgenous peoples, which at first blush might seem ironic but it's really just all part of the s...

The numbers are an undercount, but at least 40,000 children in Gaza are now orphans. 

Meanwhile, Biden handed Trump a helluva network of immigrant oppression. Here's what you should know to keep yourself and your community safe. 

United Health overcharged cancer patients by thousands of dollars - because you know, that's the right thing to do. 

PLUS hell freezes over in New Orleans, and AI issues in the new world order. 

leecamp....

So the LA fires continue to rage so it seems like a good time to talk about what's fueling them - and we don't mean just climate chaos but the actual fuel on the ground. It might not be what you think it is. (Hint: it's not shrubs)

Meanwhile, up to 30% of the firefighting force is in fact...slave labor. 

In news from over there, what's the deal with this ceasefire? What can we expect, what do we know, and what should we prepare for...

New United Healthcare CEO promises more of the same, i.e. more deaths for a bigger bottom line. Meanwhile, another murderer Daniel Penny walks free. 

Lee & Eleanor discuss some disturbing points brought up by his defense as to why he shouldn't be (and ultimately wasn't) blamed for the death of Jordan Neely. 

In related news, don't call the cops 99.9% of the time we're told we should. Here's who to call instead of the police.

PLUS a...

We're back! The long silence was due to Lee's trip to Tibet (something you can hear about in his comedy special live on zoom December 14th!) and you know, that holiday celebrating US genocide during another US-backed genocide. On brand. 

So, in this episode: 

Sec. Blinken doesn't think enough Ukrainian kids are dying in the US proxy war with Russia.

Meanwhile, without the US, Israel could not fight. And that's coming from top offi...

The BRICS summit brought a slew of multipolar plans and economic futures to the stage, and in an almost comedic soap-opera esque jealous complaint, US propaganda wasted no time in trying to undermine and denounce the summit and the nations present. 

Meanwhile in the UK, Palestine Action defendants found themselves let off as easy as they could hope as a judge agreed with their defense that their actions were done in desparation for...

The LA Archdiocese is paying out literally billions to the victims of assault. So, at what point do we just say, hey Catholic Church, you're not allowed to operate anymore because you know, assaulting kids?

Biden's admin said the quiet part loud in an official statement that admitted US troops have been and continue to be on the ground in Israel, going far beyond complicity in genocide but rather outright assistance and guidance. 

...

So it turns out that the US is super aware of all the war crimes perpetrated by that "only democracy in the Middle East." So much so that two major US government agencies made reports about it and handed it to Sec. of State Blinken...who then went on to lie to Congress about it. 

As the fallout from Hurricane Helene begins to be reckoned with, it's becoming more and more clear that climate refugees are as American as abject poverty...
