Another episode of birds of a fucked up feather! Israel and Epstein. Apparently the US is planning on building a $500 million military base outside of Gaza. In totally unrelated news, reminder that nearly 50% of US children live in poverty. Meanwhile, Biden admin knew about Israeli war crimes and chose to cover it up so that they could keep sending weapons to Israel.  PLUS claims of antisemitism on college campuses ring hollow with some basic analysis.    leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com  

Fascists are gonna fash. The ICE and Israel connection goes deep. The US Air Force has worked hard to cover up the fact that there is a suicide epidemic amongs the maintainers - the people tasked with essentially keping the Air Force running. PLUS a potential Starbucks strike sheds light on gross inequality, sandwich guy is free, and more!    leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com   

In the wake of one of the most intense hurricanes on record, Bill Gates wants you to know that climate change is no biggie.  Meanwhile, we might see HIV rates spike 49% in the next five years if planned cuts go ahead. That's roughly 75,000 new cases.  In that same vein, as more than 40 million people lose their food stamps, the money keeps flowing to Israel - that's the type of funding we just can't live without, government shutdown or no!  And of course, Israel is flaunting its untouchable status, violating the ceasefire literally hundreds of times. Gaza is still being decimated, murdered, starved.  And in Sudan, UAE-backed forces commit horrific acts of torture and murder as part of a coalition of US and Israeli interest in Sudan's natural resources.  Because ultimately, when the going gets tough, the empire goes back to its roots, as a dealer of doom.    leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com

Liberalism is dead! Or maybe just zombified -- you know, just in time for Halloween. And with its dying breaths it just always gives birth to fascism. Too late to abort? PLUS updates from occupied Palestine, the NYTimes wants to make sure you're a good citizen who knows your Gestapo variations, and the unhoused and imprisoned are testing grounds for our humanity and the system's terrorism.    leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com

So we're not gonna talk the same shit about Kirk that you already know and hate. Here's some shit to consider, not least of all yeah, actually this is what the US is. Meanwhile, as people were arguing about aforementioned shit stain, the House just passed a bill punishing "politically motivated" boycotts of Israel, the largest ever single-site immigration raid saw nearly 500 workers arrested, and the Supreme Court made it officially legal to stop and harass anyone who doesn't fit their idea of what an American should look like.  Come on in to the shit storm! 

US military for home and away games! Readying to invade Venezuela because we don't like how independent they are, sending military to Mexico because the drug cartels that the US helped create are a nice cover story and of course DC! Because there's nothing quite as fun as invading your backyard. Also on the home front, community members in Tuscon have defeated a planned Amazon data center, but more are planned elsewhere, conveniently wrapped in invisibility blankets.  Black lung is ravaging coal country again - the fine silica dust a quicker death sentence, and government's response is "just die quickly and quietly." Meanwhile, a new report uncovers Israel's special unit dedicated to painting journalists as "terrorists."    leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com projectcensored.org 

Eleanor's back! We'll first dive into Trump's DC takeover and why DC home rule and statehood are vital. And before folks outside of DC get all comfortable, this ain't a one-off experiment.  Also on the home front, men are impersonating our very own Gestapo in order to kidnap and assault women. Because 'Murica.  Meanwhile, as the genocide in Gaza continues, Netanyahu talks plans of "greater Israel" and "occupying Gaza" (the latter plan being heavily redundant).  PLUS settler colonialism looks an awful lot alike no matter where you go - Israel or Arkansas.    leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com

Fun fact: Israel has more nuclear warheads per capita than any nation on the planet. They're also committing a genocide and have just bombed Iran for no reason. So yeah, kinda curious that the world seems to be on Israel's side in all of this, huh? Meanwhile, Gaza is still in a total communications blackout. The March to Gaza is being attacked by the Egyptian government, and Flotilla members are still in Israeli prison, subject to solitary confinement.  The LA uprising is yet another moment to remind ourselves and each other not to be tactic police. Let's leave the circular firing squads and focus on protecting each other in the face of overwhelming state violence.  AND MORE!   leecamp.com artkillingapathy.com

It's been 600 days of genocide. It's impossible to put into words the horrors, and it is actually impossible to count the destruction, with so many still lost beneath the rubble that is now Gaza.  Meanwhile, Israel's sadism somehow always finds a way to escalate - this time with supposed "aid" that sees Palestinians kettled and massacred while hoping for food. What can we expect from an aid organization backed by Mossad and the US? Here at home, our fearless leaders like Rubio are standing up for corporate free speech - while squashing human free speech.  And it'd be way more funny if it weren't actually true: leaked transcripts from FEMA meetings show that it's not only run by someone interested in shutting it down, but run by someone who doesn't know basic geography. It's a helluva time to be alive, y'all!   leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com

The math is pretty simple - and I say that as someone who isn't good at math. Trump's bill cuts medicaid, food stamps & the paltry environmental protections we had in order to pay for MASSIVE tax cuts and income raises for the richest of the rich.  Meanwhile, Israel shoots at diplomats in the West Bank becasue you know, why not? Corporate media falls over itself to make it seem like no big deal, just like they do with genocide.  Israel's plan in Gaza appears to be a concentration camp within a concentration camp where Palestinians will be brought if they want any form of aid before they will likely be ethnically cleansed from the area, a play taken easily from the book of the violent colonizers of what is now known as the United States.  PLUS prisoners as mirrors to our inhumanity and when it comes to colonizers, every accusation an admission not least of all when it comes to "white genocide."   leecamp.com eleanorgoldfield.substack.com  

Despite record medicaid enrollment, members of Congress seek to slash it at the same time they're making it possible for Israel to bomb hospitals.  Meanwhile, here at home, corporate media is turning the kidnapping of a toddler into a feel-good story as the domestic Gestapo we know as ICE gets more and more funding - something that has been a bipartisan effort really since its inception.  Speaking of domestic issues, Ukraine isn't just dealing with Russia, it's dealing with a shock doctrine style attack on its own basic rights, not least of all in the workplace.    leecamp.net eleanorgoldfield.substack.com

Another day in the land of the free! NYPD violently attacks and arrests students at Columbia University. Meanwhile, a new look at the latest budget with more than $1 trillion to the miltary and significantly less to, well, everything else.  US boots vis a vis private contractors will likely soon be on the ground in Gaza to help administer Israel's ethnic cleansing and apartheid. PLUS overcrowding ICE concentration camps, remarkable Greenland dumbshittery & more!    leecamp.net eleanorgoldfield.substack.com 

Oh the land of the freeeeeeeeee! Prosecuting thought crimes because hey, why not? Breaking down and contextualizing our times not to minimize the seriousness but to understand where we are, how we got here, and how we get out. It's a scary time to get loud, but it's also an important time to get loud. Self-censorship and obeying in advance will not stem the tide of fascism.  PLUS a look at the empirical absurdity of property, unpacking liberal zionism, AND MORE!    leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com

So Trump is an idiot. That's not news. But what is news is how remarkably quickly the economy is tanking thanks to his "tariffs for 'Murica" plan. And here at the bottom, you and I will feel the greatest weight of this crash while the world looks on, watching the US just beat the shit out of iteslf for no apparent reason.  PLUS some words from Richard Wolff on Econ 101 and thes times, the Panama Canal purchase on hold, and more!  

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 Palestinians but against the truth of their genocide.  In other Israel-related news, a shadowy geoengineering company wants to spray shit in our skies to supposedly combat climate change. I'm sure we all feel good in their hands.  PLUS Florida wants kids to take over for deported migrants, CNN admits the only two factors that drive our system are fear and greed...   leecamp.com artkillingapathy.com

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 someone like him possible.  And what level of fascism is it to target intellectuals who dare think outside the confines of your political decrees? PLUS trauma is in your DNA, Tesla's crash means more than meets the eye

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 Network, there are no countries, only corporations.  It doesn't seem like there's much Israel could do to piss off Uncle Sam. But what if it started to cut ties to the military industrial complex? Would the US love them without their addiciton to our weapons? PLUS our power isn't in consumerism, It's in our labor, and the ability to withhold it. AND MORE!    leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com

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!   leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com

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?   leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com

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.    leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
