Now displaying: October, 2015

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.

Medicine and money: a how-to and why you should!

This week, we're switching things up a bit but giving you no less ammo for your activism.

First up, let's talk bitcoin and crypto-currency – the future of money and your role in it.  Next up Kevin Zeese has been on the front lines of marijuana politics for over 30 years – what's changed, where are we at now and what can we do?

But first, I repeat, fools – on repeat.

This week – think before you pink – it's October and pink-washing is in full swing but here are several reasons why you should abstain from the cancer fan-fare, and how you can really battle the big C's – corporations and cancer.

Next up, Lee Camp turns tragedy into comedy, and finally, California's bitter fight against Nestle.

But first, paint a picture with me.

This week – it's not our fault. What?? – anything, just pick an issue, a problem, a bombing, a war crime – totally not our fault – especially that hospital thing. What's really going on in Afghanistan and what are we doing besides bombing hospitals? Next up, one of the empire's most worthy adversaries, Abby Martin talks about her new show, corporate media and artistic outlets. And finally, I'll probably get shot for saying this but the NRA is more than worthy of a low life scum award. But first, it's just another Monday in the machine.

This week, it's about time we hear about climate change – but really hear it. Victoria Fernandez from 350.org dishes on the political and public effects of divestment – surprising, but money matters. Then starting October 10, we've got a week long, international push for people and planet and against the corporatocracy. Sweden deserves a shout out. And finally, scream for me. But first, we reserve your rights.

This week – from med students to female priests, fasters to the monopoly man, we've got on helluva line up. First up, let's talk Medicare – it shouldn't be so ageist. Next up, how could we not mention the pope? So, we're mentioning the Pope, and since I'm such a contrarian, let's talk about the good AND the bad. Next, we've got a fracking low life scum award, money in politics and get ready to get cozy and design some graphics! But first, this is plastic. I bleed.
