Episode 242 - US Admits It Aims to Suppress Democracy, Rent Is Killing Us, Rest in Power Klee Benally Jan 08, 2024

Show notes

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.

Episode 241 - How US Media Laid the Groundwork for Israel's Onslaught, Thoughtcrimes Against Apartheid, Get Them Kids Back To Work! Dec 20, 2023

Show notes

'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.

Episode 240 - Why Go After Poets, Neoliberalism The Long Road to Fascism, And YOU Get a Grenade Launcher! Dec 11, 2023

Show notes

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.

Episode 238 - State Department Fumbles Over Zionist Illogic, Connecting Struggles From Atlanta to Gaza Nov 13, 2023

Show notes

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.

Episode 237 - Zelensky's Inner Circle Admits It's Over, Unprecedented Secret Weapon Deals Nov 06, 2023

Show notes

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.

Episode 236 - Europe Makes Solidarity With The Oppressed Illegal, Should We Call It A Genocide? Oct 30, 2023

Show notes

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.

Episode 235 - The US War on Peace, Most Zionists Are Christian Oct 23, 2023

Show notes

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!

Episode 234 - Why These Two Jews Support Palestine Oct 16, 2023

Show notes

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.

Episode 233 - Walls Don't Work So Let's Build One, US Invading Haiti, Why Drag Shows Are Dangerous Oct 11, 2023

Show notes

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!
