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 about - because, according to our media and cultural paradigms, it was geographically, economically, and racially not tragic. PLUS Zelensky announces a Russian attack that hasn't happened, SCOTUS suggests the Navajo die of thirst becuase it's not the US' problem & MORE!

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 Arabia where officials there pushed back considerably on US wishes for the region. Hey, more good news! ICWA or the Indian Child Welfare Act was (shockingly) upheld by the US Supreme Court. PLUS some bad news: updates on political prisoners, massive uptick in global refugee numbers & how that ties into US hegemony, reproductive rights now considered terrorism leecamp.net

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 been found guilty - well, of being actual journalists. Meanwhile, the only folks to move unscathed thru the massive cuts that made the debt ceiling deal possible are the folks who make money off of mass murder. There's also a nice helping of legal handouts to massive dirty energy projects because why not. PLUS bail fund organizers thrown in jail, and a most nefarious way that corporate media uses photographs to peddle propaganda. leecamp.net

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 Wolff on Project Censored leecamp.net

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 really apply to any of the imperial catastrophes the US has going. Russiagate has officially been deemed bullshit but that hasn't stopped the public from blaming Russia for stealing elections. But who's actually behind election theft and manipulation? PLUS rainbow imperialism and confronting crooked politicians. LeeCamp.net

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 infrastructure for no reason. The hopes that the US bombing of the Nordstream pipeline (which corporate media is rabidly eager to discredit) would tank Russia's economy has now instead opened up new partnerships possibilities with China as the two massive economies have agreed to a gas pipeline from Russia to China. All the while, Germans are freezing in the midst of an energy crisis forced upon them by the US, and keeping sychophantically mum about it. A massive march in Madrid highlights the importance of universal healthcare, and of course why US media won't touch that story. PLUS Satan and Supreme Court Justice Alito have a new abortion clinic, new details on US involvement in Haitian president Moïse's murder, and Lee's latest Most Censored News! leecamp.net

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 only done this 3 times in the past 30 years so rest assured all ye polluters! Meanwhile, prisoners may soon be able to make a trade for time off their sentences - you know, if they're willing to part with some of their organs or some bone marrow. 'Murica! leecamp.net

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, Dekalb County Police are doing their utmost to paint defenders as terrorists - because apparently sitting in a tree house is absolutely terrifying to our brave lads in blue. At times, we should just be more like the French. As the fight against Macron's proposed pension "reform" continues, French workers are quite literally siezing power. PLUS news and context from Israel/Palestine and Memphis. leecamp.net

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 drilling project is planned because you know, 'Murica. PLUS Courts side with Palestinian rights activists & tens of thousands rush to a small German hamlet to stop its destruction. leecamp.net

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 you knew we were going to), Big Oil is behind some of the most aggressive plastics recycling campaigns, and surprise surprise, they're not making a dent in recycling plastic - not to mention the bigger culprit of new plastics production. PLUS a killer cop actually brought to justice, capitalism's slavery and Lee dives into the poisoned wells of our fine nation. leecamp.net
