Now displaying: November, 2019

The news corporate media won't touch, stories from the front lines of our movements to fight and build and just a dash of spoken word, visual art and snark. Blend and enjoy.

Thanksgiving is bullshit. But that doesn't mean that we can't bring some truth to the table while diving into issues such as indigenous foods, farming practices and food sovereignty.
Plus, it's not just what we consume - indeed, it's not even our own personal consumption - but rather this global programming on consumption that's killing us.
Once we start to question the programming, we'll see the horrors of the program - from cancer alley and beyond. From this space, we can work on dismantling it and building for the future.

PLUS Claire Arkin sits down to discuss the colonialist waste trade, false solutions like incineration and the insidious dealings of the plastics industry.

DACA is in the supreme court. Far from being a legislative or constitutional battle for Trump's administration, this is fascist virtue signaling. The arguments over legality thinly veil the systemic truth: this is an overt ramping up of policies already in place with previous administrations.
Next up, Never Again Action launches proactive and historically conscious activism, combining outreach with protest.

Bolivia was too happy. Ideas that are but dreams here in the US are legislative realities in Bolivia, and that can not stand.
Meanwhile, the echoes of US imperialism plays loudly in the streets of Chile.
US residents asking when we're gonna reach that tipping point have some important questions to consider.
PLUS some news on AFRICOM.

Finally, Chairman Omali Yeshitela joins us to talk imperialism, class warfare, revolution and more. "You can not have your whiteness and socialism too. You can not have your whiteness and liberation too.”

We need to be open and honest about what the empire means and how we all suffer from it – and how these diverse but shared experiences can be our strength, not our fault lines. As we rattle thrones, we must build solidarity and heal – with veterans. Marine veteran and senior fellow at the center for international policy, Matthew Hoh sits down with us to talk about veteran health, suicide and recent news from the empire.
