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 awesome as it seems is how folks are outsmarting ICE by knowing their rights. 

PLUS latest updates from the West Bank, Gaza, and Lee's new show!

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 between the horrific imprisonment of Palestinians and the prison industrial complex here in the land of the free. 

PLUS death by orgasm?

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 peoples across all borders.

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 in the new world order.

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 know, and what should we prepare for?

PLUS the land of the free brings you journalists being forcibly removed from press briefings for asking questions the state doesn't like.

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 call instead of the police.

PLUS a greenlight for more military spending than ever and more!

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 fight. And that's coming from top officials in Israel. 

Palestine Action activists in court for standing up against genocide. 

Surveillance tech used by cops is wrong almost 90% of the time. So why are cities still using it??

*Note: this was recorded on December 6th so before we knew who had shot United Healthcare CEO. 

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. 

Boeing machinists continue strike despite the war and aerospace giant stealing their healthcare. 

Israhell has targeted the UN with white phosphorus because one war crime ain't enough. 

PLUS Biden administration behind deadly listeria outbreak, and MORE!

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 outright assistance and guidance. 

The dearth of resources in Appalachia post-Helene is directly connected to the billions sent to Israel. 

PLUS as if AI weren't dystopian enough, now it's gonna be powered by nuclear reactors!

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 climate chaos. That takes money, and if not money, at the very least it takes government support, of which we have none. 

It's Banned Books Week so it seems an apt time to point out that while books pedestaling the institution of slavery have pride of place on library shelves, the dictionary is being pulled pending investigation.

PLUS Russia warns the US not to strike Moscow, could slavery be banned in California finally, and MORE!
