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.

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

Since corporate media refuses to uplift the work of journos in Gaza, the next time anyone is invited onto a network to share even a remotely non-Zio perspective, I challenge you to just hold up your phone and play the footage from Gaza that is being purposefully censored.
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...

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

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...
