Another one bites the dust! Colin Powell is dead - and yes, it's not only OK to speak ill of the dead in this case, it's necessary. In other Imperial news, the Mercenaries who assassinated the President of Haiti had also planned to kill the President of Bolivia. Let's please stop saying we need to "be more like Sweden." Here are several reasons why. PLUS from the crowns to the underground: forever chemicals, forest defense and more!   Support for Eynelys' family: https://bit.ly/3DVlgOT

Episode 177 - One Less War Criminal, Assassination Plots & Forever Chemicals

In this week's livestream hang, Lee and Eleanor dive into actions around Indigenous People's Day and take NY Times to task over their pro-cop reporting that links defunding police to a rise in crime rates. (spoiler alert - there is no link bc there's been no defunding). PLUS a new military weapon that has perfect implications for combating free speech, the dumbshittery and overt corruption of political agencies and more!   liberapay.com/leecamp

Episode 176 - LIVESTREAM: Corporate Media Loves Cops, New Military Weapons to Fight Free Speech, Indigenous Peoples Day & More

You may have heard that the so-called Build Back Better Bill would cost trillions...over 10 years. Per year, it'd cost much less than the Pentagon budget. And this is why it matters how we talk about spending. Speaking of which, Build Back Better would be worse for the environment. Here's why. Our water woes might be behind us - if we can overcome these obstacles. PLUS the fight against Line 3 is NOT over, the bullshittiest headline of the week & more!   radindiemedia.com liberapay.com/leecamp

Episode 175 - More Oil Spills / No More Drought / Build Back Worse & More

A bit more banter with no less of the censored news! New evidence shows new and nefarious ways in which the Empire has had it out for Assange for years. As climate chaos batters societies from California to Istanbul, Biden opens up 78 million acres of the Gulf of Mexico for oil drilling - saying that the most recent IPCC report doesn't show strong enough evidence to cancel oil leases...no, really. PLUS updates from Line 3, dumbshittery from AOC and more!   liberapay.com/leecamp

Episode 174 - Livestream: Assange Assassination Attempt / Line 3 Update / AOC Theater & More!

In the wake of continued US-backed destabilization efforts in Haiti, Border Patrol are engaged in a caricature of imperialist cruelty against Haitian refugees. This new cruelty follows in the footsteps of the old cruelty - punishment for demanding freedom from slavery and colonialist rule. Medical personnel are supposedly our heroes. Apparently not enough to change the conditions of their lives so as to avert burnout, hopelessness and suicide. PLUS LA can now add "sweatshop capital" to its resume of nicknames.   liberapay.com/leecamp

Episode 173 - Killing Doctors, and The Crime of Demanding Freedom

In the span of a week, both the 9/11 attacks and the Occupy movement have big anniversaries, 20 and 10 respectively. So, in this special episode, Lee and Eleanor discuss the context surrounding 9/11, what Occupy made possible and more!   liberapay.com/leecamp

Episode 172 - Occupy & 9/11: Context Matters

The latest ban on reproductive rights in Texas is atrocious - but it certainly doesn't stand alone. Still, neither do those seeking access to basic healthcare. And beware of Dems using this as a threat for votes. They could've avoided these disasters at any point in the past 40 years. Meanwhile, the family behind the opioid crisis walks free, and will forever be untouchable. PLUS the economy is doing great because you're not, new Gulf Coast oil drilling, the Pentagon gets more cash and more!   liberapay.com/leecamp

Episode 171 - Women Under Assault, Opioid Kings Go Free, The Economy Feels Fine!

Hurricane Ida has wreaked havoc on Louisiana - very predictably. We highlight the intersections of catastrophe that set the stage for this literal and figurative shitstorm, and where to turn in the aftermath. Also, please stop thanking Biden - for anything really but especially for "leaving" Afghanistan. PLUS fires in the west and strikes in Minneapolis   liberapay.com/leecamp

Episode 170 - Hurricane Shitstorm & Congratulating War Criminals

It's not about women's rights in Afghanistan - it's about mineral rights. On a dime, media shifted from "omg, the women!" to "omg the lithium!" Also, Russia and China are evil. Pipelines leak even before they're built. In this case, they leak into the headwaters of the Mississippi as massive law enforcement gangs protect the right to environmental destruction over the right to water, to air, to life.   liberapay.com/leecamp 50% Eleanor's documentary at hardroadofhope.com - use code "minewars"

Episode 169 - The Right to Extract, from Afghanistan to Minnesota

Phew, the sudden interest in the plight of women in Afghanistan is nothing short of dizzying. Here's why you should stop calling for U.S. intervention if you care at all about the people (including the women) of Afghanistan. Millions go hungry in the U.S. everyday - SF has a solution - not for hunger, but rather a solution to make people hungrier, the chic way. Meanwhile across the country, the NY Times is proudly and quietly union busting. PLUS the battle for liberation and justice inside prison walls.

Episode 168 - Afghan Women / San Fran Fights The Hungry / NY Times Fights Unions

Between a moratorium that wasn't one, cirque de soleil level political gymnastics and big handouts to Dems from real estate companies, the eviction crisis is far from over. Meanwhile, capitalism steals your soul - no, literally. PLUS incarcerated organizers call for mass actions to abolish prisons and coal miners take their fight to the front doors of Blackrock.   Many of our stories are pulled directly from radindiemedia.com Support us at liberapay.com/leecamp  

Episode 167 - Eviction Fight Not Over / Miners Fight Back / Capitalism Steals Your Soul

Whistleblower Daniel Hale was sentenced to nearly 4 years in prison today - for the vicious crime of divulging war crimes. Just last week, water protector Jessica Reznicek was sentenced to 8 years in prison - for demanding a livable future. As Snowden said, "when exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you are being ruled by criminals." Meanwhile, here's a little good news from the frontlines of Line 3 and a few musings on the potential of sports.   radindiemedia.com liberapay.com/leecamp

Episode 166 - Locked Up For Doing What's Right + What's Good About The Olympics

A short but bittersweet episode this week with plenty of thoughts to ruminate on til next week. From Texas to LA to the whole damn system - there won't be one big obvious sign that things have gone too far. This. Today. Yesterday. These are the signs you were waiting for.   Check out more news over at radindiemedia.com

Episode 165 - This Is The Sign You Were Waiting For

If we're gonna talk about what's going on in Cuba, we HAVE to talk about U.S. economic warfare. Dozens of orgs write an important open letter connecting imperialism to climate chaos, a trend we have to see more of if we actually wish to tackle climate change. Did Biden just bring back Net Neutrality?! Nope. Are Pandas off the endangered species list? Fuck yeah! PLUS some good news for water protectors.

Episode 164 - Cuba, Net Neutrality & Pandas!

LA laments the lack of slave labor available to fight forest fires. Looks like they're actually gonna have to pay some folks... In the past 3 months, the Pentagon has gifted $18.1 million in military gear to police - which actually pales in comparison to the first quarter of 2021 (more than under Trump in the 3rd quarter of 2020). Building back better with Biden! Meanwhile, the Gulf of Mexico is quite literally on fire.  PLUS a big win for black residents in Memphis as they kill a racist pipeline project.   radindiemedia.com liberapay.com/leecamp
