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 P...

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 someon...

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 N...

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.  Something that IS as awe...

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...

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...

The numbers are an undercount, but at least 40,000 children in Gaza are now orphans.  Meanwhile, Biden handed Trump a helluva network of immigrant oppression. Here's what you should know to keep yourself and your community safe.  United Health overcharged cancer patients by thousands of dollars - because you know, that's the right thing to do.  PLUS hell freezes over in New Orleans, and AI issues...

So the LA fires continue to rage so it seems like a good time to talk about what's fueling them - and we don't mean just climate chaos but the actual fuel on the ground. 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? What can we expect, what do we k...

New United Healthcare CEO promises more of the same, i.e. more deaths for a bigger bottom line. Meanwhile, another murderer Daniel Penny walks free.  Lee & Eleanor discuss some disturbing points brought up by his defense as to why he shouldn't be (and ultimately wasn't) blamed for the death of Jordan Neely.  In related news, don't call the cops 99.9% of the time we're told we should. Here's who to...

We're back! 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. On brand.  So, in this episode:  Sec. Blinken doesn't think enough Ukrainian kids are dying in the US proxy war with Russia. Meanwhile, without the US, Israel could not fig...

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 a...

The LA Archdiocese is paying out literally billions to the victims of assault. 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...

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 refugee...

Israel continues its onslaught on Lebanon and Gaza as the world watches. A new project called Genocide Gentry exposes the deep ties between the war machine and institutions of learning and culture. In that same vein, the entire UC system has greenlit more "less than lethal" ammo for CAMPUS police.  PLUS, a clip from Eleanor's interview with Dr. Khalil Khalidy in Gaza, and another pipeline explodes...

Child poverty in the US has tripled in just a few years. Clearly this must be unrelated to the billions of dollars of support for Israel's genocidal campaign in Gaza, or the fact that the US will now be spending a whopping $1.6bn on anti-China propaganda, because that's what people are really struggling without... Meanwhile, several large strikes are popping off, not least of all one at Boeing whe...

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 v...

Oh it was a helluva day for SCOTUS. The Supreme Court has effectively outlawed life, making it illegal to be unhoused and ruling that environmental regulations are bullshit. Meanwhile, Congress is doing its best to hide a genocide by simply refusing to count the dead.  Across the pond, for those seeking German citizenship, Germany demands allegiance to...Israel. PLUS Assange's plea deal details, M...

Maryland Gov. Moore pardoned 175,000 marijuana convictions which is good...but also, what does that really mean now that weed is already legal in the state? Meanwhile, the US can't actually be doing more  for  Israel despite the bizarre tik-tok style sob videos Netanyahu is making about lack of weapons.  At the same time, Israel uses US-style logic in the ongoing war crimes against Palestinians: h...

Be it targeted killings of journalists, social media shadowbanning and censorship, or shutting down prestigious law review sites so as to keep Palestinian voices quiet, the tactics to silence Palestinian truth are myriad.  US terrorism isn't just focused on Gaza. The Biden administration has now effectively banned refugees and asylum seekers while continuing to destabalize & terrorize the regions...

Hey, Trump got convicted! Hey, it doesn't matter at all, no really, at all.  In other news, the Israeli embassy in Mexico City was set ablaze. What do we know from the frontlines of this protest? How did it escalate?  Good news! These folks were found innocent in a case of occupying an Elbit Systems weapons factory using the defense of protecting Palestinians...way before October 7th. Meanwhile, m...

It's not even built yet and the US' much discussed pier off the coast of Gaza is already having problems, seemingly purposefully convoluted ones. Meanwhile, if you've been wondering what these GoFundMes asking to get folks out of Gaza are all about, this Egyptian company can tell you, to the tune of roughly $2m a day. PLUS interrogated in the US for Israel, forcing kids to have kids, Slovakian pre...

Colleges and universities across the nation are rising up for a Free Palestine!  And of course, as the empire can only speak in the language of violence, it speaks to these students loudly and brutally. Police have attacked many encampments, injuring and arresting dozens of youth. Meanwhile, some of these same cops are the ones who stood by and did nothing as elementary school kids were murdered d...

It turns out that even just some basic journalism, i.e. asking questions, can topple Israel's flimsy claims of October 7th crimes.  PLUS beware greenwashing in unlikely places, never letting war criminals be comfortable, and more!    leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com 

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 your habit of needing a car to get to work that's t...

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 support and even basic compensation for the most el...
