Protests against ICE erupt in NYC following yet another shooting by ICE Gestapo. Meanwhile in the borderlands, land defenders endure severe abuse at the hands of law enforcement in order to protect ecosystems from the political, social and economical failure that is the border wall.   PLUS an anonymous group has mapped Israel's violence, & AI updates, the good, the bad and the ugly: from boss cons to Erin Brockovich    eleanorgoldfield.substack.com leecamp.net

So, the death penalty is cruel and unusual, that's actually the point. The most recent botched execution is just one of the two in Tennessee this year. So here's a little historical context, and some myth-busting on what capital punishment is and does.  Meanwhile, did you know that immigration policy signed 30 years ago this week is largely responsible for the horrific quagmire we now find ourselves in?  PLUS California is staring down a mega ocean-level rise event, why rapists don't go to jail, art therapy in Gaza, and more!    eleanorgoldfield.substack.com realleecamp.substack.com/

Oh hey, been a minute! But everything's just gotten way better hasn't it?! Or maybe the bad is just that much clearer... Dems show us more of who they are as they vote for more genocide. Germany continues to be on the wrong side of every genocide, anal polyp Ben Gvir has new plans to ethnically cleanse Gaza.  Meanwhile here at home, the umpteenth study shows us how much money and how many lives universal healthcare would save, farmers and workers are being squeezed every more acutely and at some point history teaches us that the squeeze will result in pushback... Check out eleanorgoldfield.substack.com for more news that didn't make the news. And realleecamp.substack.com for more investigative comedic reporting! 

Oh how are we exploited and f***ed over by the ruling class? Let me count the ways!  From tariff refunds to cutting Medicaid and SNAP benefits and all the while telling us to hate each other rather than the architects of our oppression... Meanwhile, ICE somehow always manages to be worse than you thought - this time going after guardians of "unaccompanied" migrant children.  PLUS updates from occupied Palestine, and AI's new digital book burning.    You can get a lot of these stories from Eleanor's weekly substack "News That Didn't Make the News" at eleanorgoldfield.substack.com

So Trump went to China and achieved...nothing! May 15th is Nakba day and the third year in a row that we commemorate this day during a genocide that Palestinians say is worse than the 1948 catastrophe.  Meanwhile, here at home, ICE finds itself in a legal morass as its kidnappings are deemed illegal. But that isn't stopping them from trying to get in on the good ole fashioned 'Murican tradition of slavery.  Also...It's our 300th episode! The world has arguably gotten worse since we first started doing this show. But as we like to say, the world may be fucked but all the people we love are doing beautiful things. Thanks for being here - onwards and upwards to rattle thrones and topple empires.    leecamp.net artfromgaza.com  

70% of farmers in the US can't afford fertilizer - and yes, that's tied to the war on Iran. The compounding hits to farmers and to everyone who needs food to survive paints a bleak picture for those already scraping to get by in the empire.  Meanwhile, the Trump admin celebrates kicking people off of food stamps.  PLUS updates on Gaza, Iran, and how China just called the US bluff and what the means for the almighty petrodollar.    leecamp.com/schedule artfromgaza.com

Well, there's a "ceasefire" with Lebanon and in response, Iran has opened the Strait of Hormuz making it a toll throughway. Meanwhile Gaza and the West Bank are still sites of genocide and ethnic cleansing.  On the homefront, what does a warehouse fire say about the state of the working class? PLUS the biggest corporations in the country pay $0 in taxes while paying workers less and less.  It's a heavy day y'all, take care of each other.   artfromgaza.com leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com  

So we know the US is a prison state but did you know that most of the people in jail are legally innocent? PLUS what does prison abolition really mean?? Meanwhile, Israel is running very low on interceptor missiles at the same time that it's actively trying to sabotage a ceasefire deal with Iran and the US.  Back in the US, it's not enough for ICE to have concentration camps, they've got SECRET concentration camps.  PLUS ways to support Lebanon, workers know who the enemy is, and more!    leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com

War is a racket - but especially so if you're doing insider trading. Meanwhile, here are some of the things we could do with the money spent, not only on the war on Iran but the money spent on black-bagging and disappearing people into concentration camps.  And while the government spends money on that, it steals from poor migrants who pay to have their applications processed while the government knowingly has no intention of processing them...to the tune of over $1bn.  "Don't be stupid, be a smarty, come and join the Nazi party!" - thus spoke Hegseth (well, Mel Brooks technically). The Pentagon is now looking for civilian volunteers to work with ICE! At the same time, the contractual obligation for the military is 2 years instead of 4 and they'll even take 42 year olds!  PLUS EU copies ICE, layers of injustice and illegality in the Maduro and Flores "trial."   leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com

The apocalyptic cruelty and dumbshittery of the US/Israel attacks on Iran are biblical - no, really. Meanwhile, attacks on Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank continue. How far is too far, and who will stop the genociders when it's clear they'll never stop themselves? Meanwhile on the homefront, Idiocracy is a manual - pride in an arrogant ignorance has perhaps never been higher.    leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
