Eleanor's back! We'll first dive into Trump's DC takeover and why DC home rule and statehood are vital. And before folks outside of DC get all comfortable, this ain't a one-off experiment. Also on the home front, men are impersonating our very own Gestapo in order to kidnap and assault women. Because 'Murica. Meanwhile, as the genocide in Gaza continues, Netanyahu talks plans of "greater Israel" and "occupying Gaza" (the latter plan being heavily redundant). PLUS settler colonialism looks an awf...

Fun fact: Israel has more nuclear warheads per capita than any nation on the planet. They're also committing a genocide and have just bombed Iran for no reason. So yeah, kinda curious that the world seems to be on Israel's side in all of this, huh? Meanwhile, Gaza is still in a total communications blackout. The March to Gaza is being attacked by the Egyptian government, and Flotilla members are still in Israeli prison, subject to solitary confinement. The LA uprising is yet another moment to re...

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? Here at home, our fearless leaders like Rubio are standing up for...

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...

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 ...

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 geoengi...

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 t...

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 t...

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.

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 betwee...

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...

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?

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.

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.

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 - and thanks to the latter, you can't just move out of the way of...

Child poverty in the US has tripled in just a few years.

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...
