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 yo…

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 su…

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 …

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…

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 geoengineer…

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 perpet…

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. Mean…

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 homef…

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 …

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 usin…

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 impl…

'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…

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 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 A…

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. Fina…

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 ha…

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, tea…

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 wit…

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. leeca…

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 Califor…

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 th…

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 t…

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…

Hope y'all had a good weekend filled with drones spying on you in the name of the law... Meanwhile, the EPA has tossed 63% of all wetlands out of its purview of giving a shit (not that it gave much of a shit to begin with), and oh how apt, this has a lot to do with the wildfires in Maui! Be it banning the history of US racism and genocide or the ba…

Much of the disastrous wildfires on Maui could not be avoided thanks to decades of capitalist and colonialist destruction. But some of it, particularly the numbers of dead and missing - could have been avoided. It's a topsy turvy world so why wouldn't there be an onomatopoeia-esque consolidation of our food system... PLUS Yard Rock 2024 attends BRI…

If you've ever gotten a glimpse into your family tree via a DNA-testing service, well now the cops have a glimpse into you - literally. It wouldn't be a Democrat in office if they weren't kicking millions of people off of Medicaid while also saying what a shame it is that millions are being kicked off of Medicaid. Eleanor's new film is out on Augus…

The wildfires on Maui are the worst in US history. Here's a look at what's really driving them and a few ideas on support that isn't the god damn Red Cross (sereiously y'all, don't give money to the Red Cross). Meanwhile, the US government including Congress, Biden and even the fucking Supreme Court are all working hard to ensure that the Mountain …

The Pentagon might have a budget of over $1 trillion but they're somehow short on whiteboards... Meanwhile, schools are literally falling apart and students are freezing, boiling and being piled into trailers in order to learn about the gloriousness and exceptionalism of 'Murica. And absolutely relatedly, 11 million of the 70+ million children in t…

Slap a new name on it and you got yourself a Trump-era policy in Democrat swatches! Biden's asylum ban has recently been halted by a Federal Judge, but the administration is already challenging the Judge's order. Here's a scoop on the aslyum ban, and how so-called sanctuary cities are leaning on mutual aid groups in order to live up to their name. …

Well, it's been a year since the honestly bare bones access to reproductive healthcare in this country was barred. Since then, the effect on people's basic right to bodily autonomy has suffered - primarily in low income and non-white communities, not least of all Indigenous. Still, there are some rad and powerful ways in which people are fighting t…

Well, they finally did it. The "neutral" nation of Sweden has slashed 200 years of political precedent and joined the dealth cult popularly known as NATO. Resident Swede Eleanor digs into how facocked this is while she and Lee give context via little tid bits like how Russia wanted to join NATO at its founding and documents showing NATO promised to…

Soooo just when it seemed the US proxy war in Ukraine couldn't get any more facocked, Biden announced that he'd be raining down largely-banned cluster munitions so that people (not least of all children) can be maimed for decades to come. Meanwhile, Japan has announced that they finally have a solution for the radioactive waste from Fukushima: the …

Vive la revolucion! After French police murdered a 17-year old on the outskirts of Paris, Frane is once again in the throes of public rage and dismay. Could this latest wave be too much to keep Macron n friends afloat? So, the Supreme Court sucks - and that's by design. Not only did they stomp out hope for even the most measley of college debt reli…

Florida may be the punch line of jokes these days but there's a lot we can learn about the fascism to come (without proactive resistance to it) from this most southern state. At this point, discussion of the imploded sub has reached feverishly repetitive tones. So we're gonna flip the script and talk about a tragedy that you may not have heard abou…

UPS has until July 31st to stave off the largest single employer strike in US history. Will they do it? And regardless of the outcome, what does this mean for workplace organizing in any and all trades and companies? Also good news: the Empire's grip in the Middle East is slipping after Blinken just had yet another disappointing trip to Saudi Arabi…

We're back! It's been more than a minute but now Eleanor is back with the show so we can all pick right back up where we left off because sadly, this show is still necessary as the world has not drastically changed for the better nor has corporate media decided suddenly to give a damn about actual issues. Speaking of which, actual journalists have …

Hey, let's start off with a proof of life from Eleanor and then get right into the nitty gritty. Like hey, did y'all know that the petrodollar is dying? And that doesn't bode well for the US economy. PLUS does the Trump indictment even matter, AND MORE! ** psst, for more on the US economy, check out Eleanor's recent interview with Prof. Richard Wol…

The official Pentagon budget is almost $1 trillion. So what if we just shaved of $100bn of that? A couple of members of Congress are proposing just that, and here's what we have to say about that. Meanwhile, China has offered up a 12-step program to peace, if you will. Their 12-point plan is specifically targeted to the war in Ukraine but could rea…

There's no shortage of coverage of the disastrous train derailment in East Palestine, OH. But what's really missing is the context of why, how and amazingly how predictable and therefore avoidable the whole catastrophe was. Hint: corporate profits over safety and worker's rights. Over the pond, it looks like the US crippled Germany's energy infrast…

Since late last year, Peru has been in the throws of an amplified struggle against US imperialism. The struggle quickly turned violent and the people of Peru continue to be resilient in demanding democracy and justice. The EPA did something good...their job! But not to worry, they've announced that they won't make a habit of it - indeed, they've on…

Russiagate is already easily refuted, but it seems like the hits (i.e. the truth) keep comin! New evidence shows collusion between social media and the US government to label anything they don't like as Russian bots - which of course turns out were neither Russian nor bots. Discuss. Following the murder of a forest defender in the Atlanta forest, D…

Well it's MLK day and we just wouldn't know how to celebrate it without racists, capitalists, and imperialists misquoting the Civil Rights leader in some of the most absurd and twisted ways. Meanwhile, Sweden is desperate to get in on US empire's game, even going so far as to suggest that flying a flag could be an act of terrorism. A massive arctic…

Here's some good news to start the year off on a high note! Formerly imprisoned Brazilian president Lula is back in office! Bolsonaro snuck off to Florida with his tail between his legs and the never-president-of-Venezuela-but-called-president-by-uncle-sam Guaido has finally been ousted by his own party. Meanwhile in the bad news department (I mean…

Railroad workers were dealt a serious (but unsurprising) blow by Biden and Congress who decided to make a potential rail strike illegal rather than give them the basic human rights they're asking for. So, should they call Biden's bluff? Matt Taibbi has recently dug into Twitter's history of censoring those the ruling class take issue with - not lea…

Imperialism isn't just something the US does 'over there.' It's very much a home game. Like when predominantly black inmates in Philadelphia were used as guinea pigs for chemical experimentation for decades, then told they couldn't file a lawsuit because it was too long ago, then the city 'apologized' for using their bodies as toxic waste sites. Me…

It's ok if you're not shocked anymore - but never lose your disgust and disdain for the war machine. For instance, if you've been following the show and know the context of the proxy war in Ukraine, you won't be surprised to learn that the UK built a 'terror army' in order to better poke the Russian bear. You may also not be shocked by the fact tha…

These Midterms are the most important EVER! Just like the last time! So it begs the question, do midterms ever matter? Meanwhile in the UK, the new boss, same as the old boss (but richer if you can believe it) proves to us that it doesn't matter what shade of skin or what gender someone has because people of all stripes can be imperialist, capitali…

As Chris Hedges wrote, we are an empire in decline - and nations outside of ours can see the writing on the wall perhaps far more than we oursleves can. In this big move, a recent OPEC meeting tolls a bell for Uncle Sam... Saying the quiet part loud, EU's top foreign-policy official, Josep Borrell admitted that Europe's prosperity is based on cheap…

Sometimes the internet is a beautiful place. Like that time just recently when Zelensky tried to hide the N*zi symbols on his guard's uniforms but oh the internets saved that little gem! Meanwhile, what do John Stewart, Mickey Mouse and a N*zi have in common? The EU parliament is pushing to divest from deforestation. Is this as good as it sounds or…
