DHS & ICE are 22 years old. The idea that they need to be reformed rather than abolished shows the extreme power of propagandization in less than half a generation. Their power is in our compliance. We can live w/out them. Most of us have.

New episode! Eleanor (@eleanorg.bsky.social y.social‬) checks in with Chelsea White-Hoglen on the crises in Western NC post–Hurricane Helene. Chelsea calls out FEMA’s denial of aid and why this fight is communities vs. corporations—not left vs. right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ceu5oiwHFE

Israel's plan for Gaza sadistically echoes what the US gov't did to Indigenous tribes in order to ethnically cleanse them from their land via starvation & death marches. It's really no wonder the US & Israel get along so well... New Common Censored w/ @leecamp.bsky.social on all pod platforms

We don't see reality. Like scientifically speaking, we can't. So what does that mean for the distorted reality that we DO see, how we see it & how we interact with it to form the future? eleanorgoldfield.substack.com/p/lenses-for...

New research finds the cost of maintaining a “dignified” life in the US has doubled since 2001.

The children's series has found a new streaming home — Netflix, PBS stations and PBS KIDS will air new episodes on the same day. And Netflix will also run 90 hours from the Sesame Street library.

By looking at how we learn history, we can understand the why and better dissect the nefarious ways in which history is used to shackle us to a particular political present, and future. eleanorgoldfield.substack.com

New episode! Nikki Morse, Noam Brown & Prince Jooveh discuss Bending the Bars—an album recorded through jail phones to uplift incarcerated voices. They explore music as resistance, therapy, and a bridge across prison walls. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHhz...

That is in fact what this administration has done.

The carceral system works hard to keep inmates quiet & the public unaware. Bending the Bars used prison phones to create a collaborative project that defies censorship & the violent aims of the prison industrial complex. New @projectcensored.bsky.social www.projectcensored.org/bars-binarie...

You're Not Apolitical. Neither is History. The lenses through which we learn history serve specific means and ends... New Radical Nuance up exclusively at patreon.com/artkillingapathy

Another day in the land of the free! NYPD violently arrests students at Columbia, US boots in Gaza? Plus a look at the latest budget w/$1 trillion+ to the military and significantly less to, well, literally everything else. New Common Censored w/ @leecamp.bsky.social on all pod platforms

A livestreamed genocide offers up a new frontier of engagement & removal. Seeing a genocide does not indicate which side you're on. All Eyes on Gaza is a paltry framing for a colonialist gaze conflating watching w/ acting. We gotta do better. eleanorgoldfield.substack.com/p/the-coloni...

A main propaganda point in the war on terror was to “save the women” in the Middle East… Today, Noor Abdalla gave birth w/out her husband Mahmoud Khalil bc he was kidnapped for speaking out against a genocide where women hold their beheaded children beneath US bombs.

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. New Common Censored w/ @leecamp.bsky.social wherever you listen to pods

Tech companies are quite literally using genocide as a marketing tool. And thanks to global demand for surveillance tech, they fly over attempts to sanction. New @projectcensored.bsky.social feat. surveillancewatch.io

The state lies to you in the present, why would you expect it to tell the truth about the ppl's history? Indeed, for the sake of its own preservation, it can't. Telling our history is grassroots organizing & it'll never come from the state. New on eleanorgoldfield.substack.com

From repression of dissent to attacks on bodily autonomy, prisons are an incubation ground for fascist tactics. "We've already normalized a system that has robbed people of their freedom," Kim says in this chat w/ @eleanorg.bsky.social @projectcensored.bsky.social. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtce...

Marches aren't useless. They're just not useful in the ways most ppl think. They don't leverage our power & therefore tactically shouldn't take up NEARLY as much time & energy as they do. Let's be honest. eleanorgoldfield.substack.com/p/can-we-be-...

It's the same playbook. McCarthyism & the push to deport communist or anarchist "enemies of the state" became the push to deport "terrorist sympathizers," not least of all those calling for an end to genocide. New @projectcensored.bsky.social w/ @chipgibbons.bsky.social wherever u listen to pods

Critical media literacy is about noticing the bullshit, overt & covert. F.ex, before a headline that states a proven fact about the Israeli military, the publisher writes in big red lettering, "Opinion." Before you even start to read, your brain has accepted that this isn't fact but conjecture.

We have to disabuse ourselves of the idea that community and friends are synonyms rather than overlapping but separate concepts. A new substack on how this conflation treats (& often repeats) systems of oppression: eleanorgoldfield.substack.com

I just need y'all to know that CNN unironically has a page about financial markets titled "fear and greed." Clearly, this is the best system we can come up with - one where these are the only two driving forces.

I think a lot about how we're never accurately taught history (or at all) in conjunction w/ how ICE & CBP will legit use a line from the Nuremberg trials, "I'm just doing my job" & not get that the whole world found that to be an unacceptable excuse for committing crimes against humanity...

What to us is International Women's Day? Featuring Mnar Adley of @mintpressnews.bsky.social and @factsandfire.bsky.social breaking down white feminism in the US empire. Now playing on @projectcensored.bsky.social wherever you listen to podcasts.

Perhaps the only thing that Israel could do to piss off Uncle Sam is to mitigate their addiction to US weapons. And if that's what their starting to do, how long would the US keep their zionist colony afloat? New Common Censored w/ @leecamp.bsky.social wherever you listen to pods!

These are legitimately frightening times. And they're also times of manufactured fear & false solutions wrapped in propaganda. @kamaufranklin.bsky.social digs into the times, the fear, the rage & the building we have to do to. New @projectcensored.bsky.social wherever you listen to podcasts.

Just listening to 1 of my songs released in 2013..."genocide wears suits & ties...oligarchs & wall street sharks sieg heil." Not prophetic, just a student of history who learned what the US project is & how histories echo. We're in a helluva fascist echo chamber. open.spotify.com/track/7onvk2...

DEI isn't the white (or non-white) knight in shining armor that liberal America would have us believe. Indeed, it more so co-opted legit protest while perpetuating systems of extreme racist violence. This & more on the new ep of Common Censored w/ @leecamp.bsky.social wherever you listen to pods.

The Trump administration is threatening to end key measures that attempt to reduce people’s exposure to lead. truthout.org/articles/tru...

The level of absolute dumbshittery in Congress is really remarkable. Flanked by capitalism and colonialism, the founding tenets of the US, it is perhaps best represented in "The Red, White and Blueland Act of 2025" which seeks to purchase Greenland and name it...yep, you guessed it.

Refusing happiness is a radical act of resistance to imposed structures of pain that insidiously also demand our ignorance & falsified bliss. A new episode of Radical Nuance only at patreon.com/artkillingapathy

US drops Ukraine's NATO membership, private prisons in the US stand to make bank from the increase in violence & caging of migrants & refugees - PLUS some commentary on contradictions & death by orgasm... New episode of Common Censored w/ @leecamp.bsky.social avail. wherever you listen to pods!

There is still beauty in this world

Without knowing details about the school shooting in Sweden, I can tell you that this is what happens when a nation spends so much energy & money trying to mirror US empire. Grattis Sverige, you are on your way to being the United States.
