Show notes

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.

Episode 231 - West Virginia's Chernobyl, A Tale of Two UN Speeches, World's 5th Largest Economy Sues Big Oil Sep 25, 2023

Show notes

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.

Episode 230 - Striking Strategies, Block Cop City, Google Nimbus Apartheid, Five Horsemen of the Apocalypse Sep 18, 2023

Show notes

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!

Episode 229 - A Bird, A Plane? No! It's A Cop Drone In Your Backyard! Sep 05, 2023

Show notes

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 banning of books, thousands of school districts across the country have fallen prey to so-called "education intimidation bills."

PLUS flight attendants authorize a strike, taxing the rich ain't enough, and MORE!

Episode 228 - The Remarkable and Avoidable Failures of Maui Officials, A Salamander Stole Your Vote, and I Got Chased by a Bear Aug 28, 2023

Show notes

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 BRICS summit, Eleanor got chased by a bear, salamanders stole your vote and MORE!

p.s. yes, we did talk about Trump but only to talk about why it's dumb to talk about :)

Show notes

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 August 22nd! Check out the trailer and get the film at ToTheTreesFilm.com

Episode 226 - What's Driving Maui Fires, Forcing a Pipeline Through a US Rainforest Aug 14, 2023

Show notes

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 Valley Pipeline gets shoved through one of the most biodiverse regions in the world, Appalachia. But pipeline fighters aren't taking this fight lying down - unless of course, they're locking down.

And in the midst of this, it appears that the US' plan for dealing with climate chaos is to build back better...military bases...

PLUS deforestation in the Amazon is actually decreasing, and we can't talk about war unless we talk about the petro-dollar, and MORE!

Episode 225 - Schools Crumbling, Millions of Kids in Poverty & The Pentagon Needs Money for Whiteboards! Aug 07, 2023

Show notes

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 the US live in extreme poverty.

In other news, cells taken without consent from a Black woman back in the 50s have been used for scientific research for more than half a century.

PLUS some updates/discussion on the Teamsters/UPS tentative agreement and is Flint getting UBI?

Episode 224 - Child Labor Laws Are So Last Century, How a News Outlet Staged a Coup Jul 31, 2023

Show notes

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.

From kids in cages to kids in deep fat friers, child labor laws are so last century! Indeed, why even bother paying a 10-year old mopping floors at 2am??

News outlets aren't just for peddling propaganda anymore! They can be frontline fighters in the push to overthrowing democratically elected governments!

PLUS in the wake of record-breaking heat waves, our government is forcing through a fracked gas pipeline, and MORE!

Episode 223 - Weaponizing Climate Change, What A Year Without Reproductive Health Looks Like Jul 25, 2023

Show notes

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 to take control of our bodies!

Meanwhile, as the world becomes both hotter and more politically destabilized, the arms industry is directly fueling climate change.

PLUS it's remarkable that this needs to be said but no, slaves did not benefit from being slaves.
