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.

It’s our 6 month anniversary! And we’re celebrating with whistleblowers - because everyone loves a whistleblower! From Chelsea Manning to John Kiriakou, we’re breaking down the lunacy of charging whistleblowers as spies and giving you the tools to help support those who speak out against injustices in our government. Next up, let’s take a trip to England where the world’s most disappointing theme park has just opened, and believe me, you’ll wanna see it! Then Silent Bill gives us a rundown of the Secret Society of Super Villain Artists - doing good and having fun while doing it. And finally, here’s how you can join the fight to stop fighting and let diplomacy prevail over war. #NoWarWithIran. But first, we gotta go to the emergency room.

Ferguson one year later – what happened, what did we learn and what's next? Next up, tar sands – from Secretary Kerry's front door to the pits of despair themselves, we're gonna show you what activists are doing about this overused and crude fossil fuel PLUS what YOU can do to tell big oil to go fuck themselves with a rusty oil pipe. Street artist Morley combats consumerism in its vapid capital and finally, get cozy with Wikileaks. But first, how flat is your past?

This week, here’s 4 things about the Planned Parenthood debacle to put them and their work into perspective. Next up, let's talk Britney Spears and cluster bombs, yep, seriously. It's art vs. the military industrial complex with Bob Paris and The Cluster Project. Then we offer up a Presidential low life scum award thanks to a pretty much useless climate change plan and finally, some good news you gotta know about! But first, I pledge allegiance.

Peter Joseph - extended interview

Matt Sedillo - extended interview

 

Yep, we have one helluva all star creative activist lineup for you this week! Starting off, we’ve got Peter Joseph, creator of the Zeitgeist Trilogy talking about his new project, the movement and his artistic and technological expression. Next up, Revolutionary Poet Matt Sedillo performs his piece “Here is a Nation” then talks to us about poetry, activism and some interesting hecklers. Lili Haydn doesn’t play notes, she plays emotions. We catch a performance of hers at the Healthcare for All event in downtown LA and talk to her about finding hope in dark issues and musical activism.
