Lee and Eleanor, the hosts of the podcast, have a great dynamic and their passion for uncovering the truth is evident in every episode. In an increasingly dark and phony dystopian world, this podcast serves as a glimmer of light by providing accurate and passionate information.
One of the best aspects of The Common Censored podcast is the perfect blend of humor and serious reporting.

However, one possible downside to The Common Censored podcast is that it may not be as well-known or popular as it deserves to be. Despite its relevance, informativeness, and amazing discussions, it hasn't achieved the level of recognition it should.

Despite its relatively low profile in terms of popularity, The Common Censored podcast shines as an informative beacon amidst a sea of propaganda.
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. Israel's plan in Gaza appears to be a concentration camp within a concentration camp where Palestinians will be brought if they want any form of aid before they will likely be ethnically cleansed from the area, a play taken easily from the book of the violent colonizers of what is now known as the United States. PLUS prisoners as mirrors to our inhumanity and when it comes to colonizers, every accusation an admission not least of all when it comes to "white genocide." leecamp.com eleanorgoldfield.substack.com
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 just dealing with Russia, it's dealing with a shock doctrine style attack on its own basic rights, not least of all in the workplace. leecamp.net eleanorgoldfield.substack.com
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 Greenland dumbshittery & more! leecamp.net eleanorgoldfield.substack.com
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, unpacking liberal zionism, AND MORE! leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
So Trump is an idiot. That's not news. But what is news is how remarkably quickly the economy is tanking thanks to his "tariffs for 'Murica" plan. And here at the bottom, you and I will feel the greatest weight of this crash while the world looks on, watching the US just beat the shit out of iteslf for no apparent reason. PLUS some words from Richard Wolff on Econ 101 and thes times, the Panama Canal purchase on hold, and more!
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 of their genocide. In other Israel-related news, a shadowy geoengineering company wants to spray shit in our skies to supposedly combat climate change. I'm sure we all feel good in their hands. PLUS Florida wants kids to take over for deported migrants, CNN admits the only two factors that drive our system are fear and greed... leecamp.com artkillingapathy.com
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 level of fascism is it to target intellectuals who dare think outside the confines of your political decrees? PLUS trauma is in your DNA, Tesla's crash means more than meets the eye
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, only corporations. It doesn't seem like there's much Israel could do to piss off Uncle Sam. But what if it started to cut ties to the military industrial complex? Would the US love them without their addiciton to our weapons? PLUS our power isn't in consumerism, It's in our labor, and the ability to withhold it. AND MORE! leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
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 outsmarting ICE by knowing their rights. PLUS latest updates from the West Bank, Gaza, and Lee's new show! leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
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 last Intifada in 2000. And there are some striking similarities between the horrific imprisonment of Palestinians and the prison industrial complex here in the land of the free. PLUS death by orgasm? leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
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 same horrific system that violently attacks Indigenous and non-white peoples across all borders. leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
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.net artkillingapathy.com
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? PLUS the land of the free brings you journalists being forcibly removed from press briefings for asking questions the state doesn't like. leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
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 greenlight for more military spending than ever and more! leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
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 officials in Israel. Palestine Action activists in court for standing up against genocide. Surveillance tech used by cops is wrong almost 90% of the time. So why are cities still using it?? *Note: this was recorded on December 6th so before we knew who had shot United Healthcare CEO.
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 what is happening in Gaza. Boeing machinists continue strike despite the war and aerospace giant stealing their healthcare. Israhell has targeted the UN with white phosphorus because one war crime ain't enough. PLUS Biden administration behind deadly listeria outbreak, and MORE! leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
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. The dearth of resources in Appalachia post-Helene is directly connected to the billions sent to Israel. PLUS as if AI weren't dystopian enough, now it's gonna be powered by nuclear reactors! leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
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 - and thanks to the latter, you can't just move out of the way of climate chaos. That takes money, and if not money, at the very least it takes government support, of which we have none. It's Banned Books Week so it seems an apt time to point out that while books pedestaling the institution of slavery have pride of place on library shelves, the dictionary is being pulled pending investigation. PLUS Russia warns the US not to strike Moscow, could slavery be banned in California finally, and MORE! leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
Israel continues its onslaught on Lebanon and Gaza as the world watches. A new project called Genocide Gentry exposes the deep ties between the war machine and institutions of learning and culture. In that same vein, the entire UC system has greenlit more "less than lethal" ammo for CAMPUS police. PLUS, a clip from Eleanor's interview with Dr. Khalil Khalidy in Gaza, and another pipeline explodes in Texas with links to Dakota Access Pipeline and myriad other ecocidal tendencies. leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
Child poverty in the US has tripled in just a few years. Clearly this must be unrelated to the billions of dollars of support for Israel's genocidal campaign in Gaza, or the fact that the US will now be spending a whopping $1.6bn on anti-China propaganda, because that's what people are really struggling without... Meanwhile, several large strikes are popping off, not least of all one at Boeing where more than 30,000 machinists are sick and tired of corporate profits over safety and worker benefit. leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
If you think that Congress inviting a genocidal war criminal to speak at Congress was an aberration, you need to flip through the pages of US history. It was thoroughly on-brand, as was the disdain with which lawmakers looked upon their own constituents calling for peace in the streets. And they did more than call for peace - protestors created some beautiful chaos over the course of Netanyahu's visit, not least of all through blocking streets, surrounding the war criminal's hotel, and releasing some creepy crawlies inside the hotel. Meanwhile, the threat of a regional, if not all out world war looms larger and larger with each passing day of Israel's belligerence - how long will other countries stand aside and watch the gen0cide? At the same time, China has been trying to broker peace, not just in Palestine but in Ukraine as well. leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
Oh it was a helluva day for SCOTUS. The Supreme Court has effectively outlawed life, making it illegal to be unhoused and ruling that environmental regulations are bullshit. Meanwhile, Congress is doing its best to hide a genocide by simply refusing to count the dead. Across the pond, for those seeking German citizenship, Germany demands allegiance to...Israel. PLUS Assange's plea deal details, Mask of Maersk and MORE
Maryland Gov. Moore pardoned 175,000 marijuana convictions which is good...but also, what does that really mean now that weed is already legal in the state? Meanwhile, the US can't actually be doing more for Israel despite the bizarre tik-tok style sob videos Netanyahu is making about lack of weapons. At the same time, Israel uses US-style logic in the ongoing war crimes against Palestinians: how do you know you were killing enemy combatants? Well, they were men between the age of 18-80. How do you know they were enemy combatants? Because we killed them. Sweden has signed a DCA-agreement with the US that reads like a capitulation document after losing a war...here's why that matters to you and the economy and oh, nuclear war. PLUS abortion pills still legal and accessible, and get them kids behind the wheel and into the factories!
Be it targeted killings of journalists, social media shadowbanning and censorship, or shutting down prestigious law review sites so as to keep Palestinian voices quiet, the tactics to silence Palestinian truth are myriad. US terrorism isn't just focused on Gaza. The Biden administration has now effectively banned refugees and asylum seekers while continuing to destabalize & terrorize the regions from which they come. Oh, did we mention this isn't Trump's America? The proxy war in Ukraine (yeah, remember that?!) is somehow escalating even further with American weapons aimed beyond Ukraine into Russia. PLUS there is no actual "red line" for Biden, shouting down the VP, and more! leecamp.com artkillingapathy.com
Hey, Trump got convicted! Hey, it doesn't matter at all, no really, at all. In other news, the Israeli embassy in Mexico City was set ablaze. What do we know from the frontlines of this protest? How did it escalate? Good news! These folks were found innocent in a case of occupying an Elbit Systems weapons factory using the defense of protecting Palestinians...way before October 7th. Meanwhile, more people are quitting the Biden administration as they realize that gen0cide is bad. PLUS, the US lied about aid reaching Palestinians (shocker), how tight Chevron is with Israel, and more! leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
It's not even built yet and the US' much discussed pier off the coast of Gaza is already having problems, seemingly purposefully convoluted ones. Meanwhile, if you've been wondering what these GoFundMes asking to get folks out of Gaza are all about, this Egyptian company can tell you, to the tune of roughly $2m a day. PLUS interrogated in the US for Israel, forcing kids to have kids, Slovakian president shot, and MORE! leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
Colleges and universities across the nation are rising up for a Free Palestine! And of course, as the empire can only speak in the language of violence, it speaks to these students loudly and brutally. Police have attacked many encampments, injuring and arresting dozens of youth. Meanwhile, some of these same cops are the ones who stood by and did nothing as elementary school kids were murdered down the street. 'Murica. PLUS some tips on tactics that you should absolutely not use because you're a good, law-abiding patriot. Oh, and Net Neutrality is back! leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
It turns out that even just some basic journalism, i.e. asking questions, can topple Israel's flimsy claims of October 7th crimes. PLUS beware greenwashing in unlikely places, never letting war criminals be comfortable, and more! leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
Calls for a ceasefire erupt after white people die in Gaza. At the other Palestine, that's East Palestine, OH, new evidence comes to light that shows how the EPA could have automatically given all the affected residents universal healthcare (because it's done so before) but chose not to because they didn't wanna "get into this." It's not you and your habit of needing a car to get to work that's the problem. Just 57 companies responsible for 80% of all greenhouse gas emissions. PLUS lecturing the UK on climate change, crowbars and pro-bars, salmanders, and MORE!
NATO wants you to prepare for the worst, i.e. nuclear war - so make sure you have a flashlight! Or a fleshlight, unclear which one. The Grayzone infiltrates the Israelis blocking aid to Gaza, and brings us footage of their take on things, and yep it's as awful as you'd expect. Meanwhile, as climate chaos worsens wildfires across the country, the support and even basic compensation for the most elite firefighters stagnates and dwindles. PLUS ICC submission re genocide, Alabama bans teaching that people other than cis straight white males exist. leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
As more celebrities and zionist politicians jump on the ceasefire bandwagon, we gotta accept that what's needed goes WAY beyond a simple ceasefire into the decolonized realms where no politicians will venture... In the shared category of words not meaning what they say, the "aid" the US has dropped (or bombed) onto Gazans is even less helpful than many realize due to the fact that starving people can't actually eat processed foods, and could actually die from eating what's being dropped by US forces. AI is a product of our patriarchal, right-wing society, so we shouldn't be surprised when what it comes up with is but a mirror to those terrible tenets of our culture. PLUS, mapping the war machine, Jews do NOT have a historical right to Palestine, DC's new attack on plurals, and MORE!
Ah, International Women's Day, a day for liberal women to co-opt the concept of radical feminism in order to uplift white supremacy and capitalism. If we really wanna uplift women (and in so doing, all genders), we gotta recognize that feminism is a rejection of all domination and coercion, especially capitalism and white supremacy. Furthermore, we gotta widen our gaze to see how patriarchy injures men and boys. In other news, let's briefly deconstruct the dumbshittery of the State of the Union. TLDR: it's a campaign event that tries to gaslight you into thinking progress is being made on your behalf. Israel doesn't just have the backing of Uncle Sam, but of AI. Using technology, Israel has been able to essentially automate genocide, prioritizing targets that will kill and maim as many Palestinians as possible. Unless you're a trust fund kid, you likely have a very tenuous relationship to housing. As homelessness is criminalized in more places, we should recognize our likewise tenuous connection to legality. PLUS the climate chaos in genocide, head of ISIS cozying up to the US, and more!
The US can't and won't condemn the murder of Palestinian children even when asked pointedly. NATO attempted to use humor and memes to propagandize people into thinking Ukraine would win. Here's how that turned out... Apparently some intentional killings by police don't count as murders by police. You read that right. PLUS techo bros try geoengineering, and a voice for Gaza and Assange in British Parliament, George Galloway! leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
Sexual violence is often used as a weapon of war. Unfortunately, claims of sexual violence are also used to declare victimhood in the face of legitimate allegations of war crimes, as is the case with Israel. As more and more details emerge from Israel's flimsy reports from October 7th, the issue of mass rape is a glaring example of how those perpetuating genocide weaponize rape claims in order to deflect from their own war crimes, some of which include sexual assault of Palestinian prisoners. Meanwhile here at home, kids are living in abject poverty while forces like the NYPD get $29 million A DAY (you read that right), and cop cities are popping up in almost every state to protect the failing empire from its own demise. PLUS the FBI targets Indigenous youth, and plastic waste colonialism means poor countries are drowning in blame and plastice as rich countries ship away problems and claim green futures.
It's genocide. Deeds matter. Not words. As corporate media continues to throw up headlines about how conflicted Biden feels, and how the UN feels this or that way about Israel, the genocide continues unabated. Don't let these "feel-good" or promising headlines hide the fact that our government is perpetuating the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. Meanwhile, another day in the US, another mass shooting. It's vital to make connections btwn violence at home and abroad as part of the same colonialist imperialist machine, and also consider several other factors and indeed lies like "lone wolf" syndrome when analyzing why the fuck this keeps happening? PLUS it's Day X for Assange leecamp.net
This one goes out to all the October 7th handwringers: check your facts. More and more comes to light about the remarkable propaganda campaign about supposed violent acts by H**as on October 7th. Meanwhile, in the birthplace of genocidal colonialism, the European Parliament silences member Clare Daly for, well, for speaking facts. Here on the homefront, why wage war on homelessness when you can wage a war on the homeless? As more and more people find it impossible to stay housed in the richest country on earth, it's becoming increasingly illegal to be homeless - so much so that one state wants to make it legal to shoot homeless people. Not kidding. PLUS Biden administration admits it doesn't care about your opinion, and look out Ecuador - Uncle Sam has a 5-year plan. leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
The nuclear arms race never went away, it just shifted gears. And now, it's shifting back into high gear with a brand spankin new $1.5 trillion deal that'll require, among other ills, massive new mining for radioactive materials. Meanwhile, lest we forget, slave labor is still totally legal in the land of the free. A new report shows how extensive the network of forced prison labor is in the agriculture industry. Border surveillance is booming, and it's on your phone too! PLUS connecting struggles from the Appalachian Trail to the Gaza strip.
Welp, the ICJ ruling has come down as you've now likely heard - what does it mean, what does it do and where do we go from here? Meanwhile in the shared category of horrific acts, the US can now add gassing prisoners to its tally of human rights violations. This past week, a prisoner in Alabama was tortured and ultimately murdered by the state using nitrogen gas. But wait, there's more: A new investigation at the border shows that Border Patrol doesn't just actively try to kill migrants and refugees, they kill them through decisive passivity - as in ignoring their calls for help. PLUS the UK plots against a truthteller, NATO are Naz*s (no really), and more! leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
And now for a list of things you knew but didn't have official confirmation on! Amidst its ongoing support for genocide in Gaza, a US representative said the quiet part loud and just straight up said (or slipped) that the US is all about suppressing democracy. Next up, the struggle to pay rent in the US is actually killing us sooner. The US is implicated in South Africa's case of genocide - more on that via Eleanor's latest show on Project Censored. We can't green colonialist or green capitalist our ways out of our current system. The whole damn system has to go. And there was perhaps no one who put it better and lived it more fully than Klee Benally. Rest in Power. leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
'Tis the season! Earlier this month, rad Jews celebrated the eight nights of Chanukah with direct action blocking business as usual in the face of genocide. Several Jewish elders also locked themselves to the gates of the White House in protest of the US support for genocide. Meanwhile, it's already a crime to boycott Israel in about 30 states. But now, thoughtcrimes against Israel could also be illegal. Child labor is no big deal, right? It's so not a big deal that in Florida, the argument is no longer about whether kids should work but whether the kids at work deserve any worker's rights. PLUS further proof Bezos is a penis wrinkle, and MORE!
It's not worth discussing COP(out)28 much, but here's an action that draws the important connection between what's happening in Palestine to the greenwashing farce of the COP meetings. Last week, a much beloved and powerful poet and teacher Refaat Alareer was murdered by Israel. He was specifically targeted - why? Why is it so important to go after the poets, the storytellers? In Europe, the far right continues to gain momentum. It's not hard to see why once you consider the fact that neoliberalism is the long road to fascism. 2023 is already beating out all previous years on record when it comes to gun violence and mass killings in the US. Congress (and yes, Dems too) deserves a healthy dose of blame for never passing common sense gun legislation AND we can't talk about gun violence in this country unless we address the culture of violence that drives it, and the networks of far right wing men who goad each other into committing acts of terrorism for their ideological aims. PLUS senior and childhood poverty are on the rise bc 'Murica AND MORE!
The media has moved on from the breathtakingly horrific terrorist raid on Al Shifa hospital - so here are some things worth nothing, insde and under. Actions for Palestine continue across the country while these war pigs making bank off of the continued genoc1de. PLUS a guy who thinks H1tler was just a really intense tourguide, the rad tactics in Atlanta to block cop city AND MORE! *Note: this episode was recorded on November 16th, 2023
A State Dept talking head was tasked with defending the US' backing of genocide, and it goes about as smoothly as you'd expect. Not so side note, hats off to Sam Husseini for not rushing the stage... In that same vein, Eleanor and Lee dig into some popular talking points in the ongoing Zionist mental gymnastics and how to approach/debunk them. Finally, the days of action to Block Cop City are here, and here's why that matters in the context of the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
What with a genoc*de unfolding, folks would be forgiven for not paying attention to Ukraine. But since we last spoke of good ole Zelensky, it seems that things are not looking up for him. In fact, it's gotten to the point where even his closest advisers are admitting that there is no path to victory for them. So, what now? More udpates on what's happening in Palestine as well as what's happening here - be it Biden's request for secret arms deals or cracks in the facade of Israeli propaganda - to the point that even Wolf Blitzer, former AIPAC man, is questioning carpet bombing children. leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
We must never lose our ability to be disgusted, even if we quickly lose our ability to be shocked. Congress voted (in a totally pointless display of awfulness) to support genocide. Oh and should we call it "genocide?" Here's a look at what that term means and how it applies. PLUS Europe makes moves to crackdown on solidarity with the oppressed, tears for Ukrainians, shrugs for Palestinians. leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
Imagine a US President standing up in front of Congress and demanding money for healthcare, education, infrastructure, reforestation. Hard to do, huh? Now imagine a US President standing up in front of Congress demanding $100 billion for war. Pretty easy to imagine, right? Well, that's because it happened. And that's because it's toally in line with what the US empire cherishes most: war. PLUS fun fact: most Zionists aren't Jews, they're Christian. And if we're gonna talk hostages, we gotta talk about all the hostages. And MORE!
It's been a non-stop barrage of propaganda from the corporate media, and if you follow alternative sources, it's been non-stop vital reporting of the horrifying facts from the ground. Lee and Eleanor wade through this to contextualize what's going on, where the nuance lies and why we fundamentally support the Palestinian struggle for freedom. leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
With much himming and hawing, Biden announces his administration's fast tracking of border wall construction - because walls don't work! Wait, what? Meanwhile, the US is invading Haiti - but not like officially. In other news, drag shows are dangerous - because they threaten the heteronormative patriarchal state. PLUS good and bad news from California! leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
Oh Mother Jones, how horrified you be to know that your name is being used to smear legitimate leftists! Eleanor and Lee peruse a new hit piece against Lee and two presidential candidates for being...anti-war. Meanwhile, did you know that it's Russia's fault that Canada harbored N*zis after the 2nd world war and gave a standing ovation to one in their Parliament? Back in the US of A, Dems and Republicans are once again working together - this time, it's to ensure their ability to violate the basic human rights of the unhoused because they find them icky. PLUS read Banned Books! leecamp.net
Israeli forces are concerned about their government - because they want to keep murdering children. Hey, war in Ukraine is over! But Uncle Sam can't stop, won't stop. Look no further than Biden's address to the UN where he used his time to have a sandbox tiff of propaganda against Russia. Meanwhile, President of Brazil Lula da Silva used his time to highlight the grotesque terror campaign against truthteller Julian Assange. In the world's 5th largest economy, the government is going after big oil. What will this lead to? In West Virginia, kids are using a radioactive dump site as a hangout - because they don't realize how dangerous it is. PLUS updates from the movement to Stop Cop City. tothetreesfilm.com leecamp.net
UAW's striking strategy looks different than some expected and others hoped. Relatedly, some Google employees take a stand against the company's role in perpetuating apartheid. A call to action this November: Block Cop City! And this continued push against this highly unpopular project marks one of the many reasons why Stop Cop City is so dangerous to the ruling establishment: it lays bare how remarkably undemocratic our system really is. Four horsement of the apocalypse? That's so 2,000 years ago. How about 5. These are the 5 nations that will drill us to death by 2050. PLUS proof that the rich really do want you to die! tothetreesfilm.com leecamp.net
