You CANNOT rage against the machine if you’re asking it to summarise your emails for you.

[Sammi🦋 @StoriesBySammi]

The Upper Pecos River is
New Mexico's only native river.

It supplies clean water to farming
communities for hundreds of miles.
It holds a wildflower that exists
nowhere else on Earth.

The last mine here killed 90,000 trout.
The cleanup from 1939 still isn't finished.

The federal government just
opened it to mining again.

Nobody asked for this.
No public meetings. No comment period.
Just a quiet announcement on April 6th.

The Biden-era rule had built a
20-year mining ban on 165,000 acres.
The administration killed it. Effective May 6, 2026.

The community was unanimous.
Tribes. Elected officials. Outdoor businesses.
All said protect it.

Washington said no.

If a mine contaminated your water source once — killed 90,000 fish, left groundwater that still exceeds safety standards 87 years later — would you open it back up for a foreign mining company?

a desperate activist tells Malcolm X that the situation is hopeless as there are too many powerful interests and too few to oppose them. Malcolm's response is as important today as it was then: "Never let your enemy tell you how many of you there are."

🚨 My Comedy Show Is Now Canceled — Thanks To Corporate Censorship 🚨

The chase continues.

I’ve been chased from one platform to another. From one show to another. One from one genre to another. It makes me dizzy to the point that I’m not quite sure who I am or what I do. But I know one thing — I won’t give up. I will continue to juke and jive, duck and dodge around the censorship, the suppression, and the efforts by the US imperial corporate slime molds to shut down my voice.

Those same slime molds have now succeeded at causing the end of my new(er) comedy show Unredacted Tonight. This time it only took them 14 months.

For those of you who need a quick refresher:

I had a very popular weekly comedy news TV show called Redacted Tonight for 8 years. It was on the RT America network. I wrote all my words myself (unlike every other comedy news host you’ve ever seen), and I was never told what to say or what not to say. It was the craziest amount of free speech ever seen on American television. We achieved so many important things at that show.

I revealed the rigging of the 2016 primary against Bernie Sanders. I created the hashtag #ExitPollGate on Twitter, which went viral and alerted millions to the corruption of our so-called democracy. I, and the others on the show, made up a small piece of the energy and information that helped build the Bernie movement into what it ultimately became in 2016.

We were also one of the earliest national shows to cover the Standing Rock protests and reveal the truth about Russia Gate. Redacted Tonight was also one of the earlier national shows to cover the story of a person almost no one had heard of named Jeffrey Epstein. I covered accusations by a young woman who said in legal filings she had been assaulted at an Epstein party by Donald Trump. At the time Trump was a “no chance in hell” GOP presidential primary contender.

For covering these topics and countless others, my show had to be stopped by the powers that be.

- In 2016 the Justice Department greatly restricted the ability of the channel to be seen, getting it banned from most distributors. At that same time, my personal Facebook page with 330,000 followers was shadow-banned — going from gaining thousands of followers a week to never gaining any.

- In 2018 I had attack pieces filled with falsehoods written about me by the New York Times and NPR.

- Then in 2022, the US government shut down the channel entirely with economic sanctions. The US empire is super strong and super awesome but evidently can’t handle a single channel out of 350 reporting the truth about the US empire.

- At that same time (within a week), my main YouTube channel was banned around the world, my Spotify podcast was banned, my Twitter account was heavily suppressed and my Facebook continued to be suppressed.

- I created a new YouTube page (having no connection to RT America), and a new podcast. Of course, starting from scratch on a platform is like taking a nuclear bomb to any kind of growth or fanbase.

- I next started a new comedy show with MintPress news. But it was extremely suppressed on YouTube, and therefore I only continued there for a year.

- In 2023, after two months of speaking out about the genocide in Gaza, my TikTok was banned with no reason or right to appeal. This happened before Larry Ellison had bought it and while Biden was still in office.

- Finally, last year I created my own independent version of Redacted Tonight. I called it Unredacted Tonight. It was not connected to any TV network nor corporate entity. It was just me doing what I’m good at — comedy that speaks the truth and fights for peace, justice, sustainability, and a better world.

[SIDE NOTE: Follow my work at "RealLeeCamp" on subs tack. Thanks!]

At first it seemed that Unredacted Tonight would be allowed to grow organically on YouTube, which was all I was hoping for. For the first three or four months the numbers grew and the more people saw it, the more they shared it and the better it did. It wasn’t anywhere near profitable yet, but that was okay at the time. All I wanted to see was some kind of steady growth.

But then, it happened again. The same thing that happens to me whenever anything I do starts to gain traction. The numbers cratered. None of the videos could grow or do well. Nothing I tried made any difference.

Haters would love to say, “Dude, it’s not suppression. It’s just that people don’t like your shit! YOU SUCK!” But here’s why that’s provably wrong. (Also, stop being a dick.) It’s obvious from the analytics that the crushing of my show was a concerted effort by YouTube. I can’t tell you whether it’s an algorithm or a human choice, but the data makes clear that YouTube (for a brief period) recommended my videos to people who were likely to enjoy them as well as recommending my videos to subscribers of my channel. That’s how YouTube is supposed to work. Then YouTube stopped doing that. Neither new viewers nor big fans were being alerted to most episodes.

In a better world, it might not matter. I would simply think, “Well, I gotta keep working at this whether it’s suppressed or not.” But Unredacted Tonight costs me a lot of money to produce. Since it has no big-time backers and can’t generate ad dollars without loads of YouTube views, I lose a great deal every month on it.

While my comedy show is ending after two upcoming episodes, I want you to know I’m not giving up. My livestreams called “Dangerous Ideas” will continue every Mon, Wed, and Fri. My podcasts called “Moment of Clarity,” “The Lee Camp Show,” and “Common Censored” will continue three or four days a week as well. And my sub stack columns will continue to come out every week.

Ever since that first night of Occupy Wall Street, standing on that dark but energy-filled street in lower Manhattan, I knew we were up against the most powerful entities on the planet. I felt more alive than I’d ever felt — but I could see the coming storm. We were then and are now trying to shift society away from the psychopathic genocidal pedophiliac greed monsters that own and run nearly everything. If you’re one of us and you stick with this path, it never gets easy. And perhaps that’s why so many of the activists I used to know have fled to either the warm waters of apathy or the loving embrace of the two corporate oligarchic parties.

Why keep fighting for a better world when it’s so much easier and more profitable to join the villains?

Because the success we achieve has nothing to do with money or fame or ease or comfort. Our success is seen in a new awareness. It’s made up of a growing desire for a world outside of imperial cancerous capitalism. A world with a future. A world without war. It’s a success that can’t be measured with dollars or clicks or followers or ticket sales.

Maybe I’m stupid. Maybe I’m naive. But I’m gonna keep fighting.

Gaza will be remembered as the moment the world looked away. Cuba is the test of whether it learned anything from this.

Both situations are terrifyingly similar, and there's little doubt that U.S. actions on Cuba were enabled by the world's lack of concrete response on Gaza.

Look:

In both cases it's collective punishment: a siege that cuts off essential supplies for an entire people.

In both cases the perpetrator is acutely aware of the consequences of their own actions. Israel's Yoav Gallant (who, as a reminder, is wanted in The Hague) said "no electricity, no food, no water, no fuel." Here you have a sitting U.S. Congresswoman saying "no electricity, no food, no medicine, only blackout". The exact same language, almost word for word.

In both cases the suffering of the people is cynically blamed on the victims, as if starving an entire people were justified if you disapprove of their leaders. Here Salazar blames the Cuban "regime", and in Gaza it was Hamas.

In both cases it's a decades-old project: the Cuban embargo started in 1962 and the the blockade and occupation of Palestine dates back to 1967.

In both cases it's done against the will of virtually the entire world: Israel is consistently the only country that votes with the U.S. at the UN to maintain the Cuba embargo. The U.S. was the only country that always vetoed ceasefire resolutions at the UN Security Council to shield Israel. It's a mutual protection pact for the collective punishment of a small besieged people.

And both cases we're witnessing a terrifying escalation in brutality compared with an already very brutal past: starvation and the engineering of a humanitarian catastrophe on an entire people as a method of warfare.

The playbook is the same, the language is the same, the intent is the same. The only thing that can be different this time is the world's response. Otherwise, we're effectively confirming that the U.S. has a license to genocide any nation that doesn't bend the knee.

Belated thoughts about MLK Day:

If King had not been assassinated as he escalated his antiwar and class war rhetoric, and had lived into the 21st century, Zionist billionaires would have offered him loads of money to "stand" with Israel and turn his back on the Palestinians as their struggle first emerged in the Western consciousness. Hedge funders would have offered him millions to promote charter schools and education privatization as "the civil rights cause of our time." And the Democrats would have offered him prime time DNC speaking slots to endorse whichever warmongering, neoliberal candidate they nominated for president.

If King had simply signed on the dotted line, following the path of corporate conformity paved by John Lewis, Barack Obama and droves of Misleadership class celebrities, his legacy as an American hero would have been consolidated, and he would have been set up with a massive money dump foundation with a shiny headquarters in Atlanta.

But if King had refused, and maintained the prophetic voice he used to denounce American empire at Riverside Baptist Church in April 1967, he would have become a pariah, hated not only by Southern racists, but by elite white liberals as well. Indeed, if King had shown solidarity with Palestine, condemned the FBI's Cointelpro and the CIA's covert alliances with drug traffickers; if he had slammed Clinton's welfare-slashing, prison-packing policies, and called out the titanic fraud of Obama, he would have been systematically "Sister Soulja'ed" into the margins of the American left. And today, there would be no MLK Day at all.

This is why the DOJ had to downplay its phony Cartel of Suns allegations against Maduro in its new indictment

Not only does the Cartel of the Suns not exists as a real criminal syndicate, it was literally founded by the CIA to traffic cocaine into American cities

False Flag!? Former IDF war criminal Yaron Lischinsky gets smoked outside of a Jewish Museum in Washington DC.

Whether this is a false flag or not, our ruling class will 100% use this to crack down on free speech and the Free Palestine movement

[Russell Dobular @russelldobular]

Finally the damn is bursting. The day when all of the genocidal Zionist pigs will have to answer for their Am Yisrael Chai-ing through the live-streamed mass slaughter of the Palestinian people is almost upon us. There will be severe consequences. Economic, social, and professional. Good luck taking down all the sick shit you fuckers have been posting since 10/7. Good luck convincing anyone you didn’t know what was going on, as so many Germans tried to do after the war. And to the cowardly, self-righteous, self-serving scum who knew it was wrong but stayed quiet all these months for fear of getting on the wrong side of the Zionist smear machine, and losing out on a gig playing Rosencrantz in summer stock or some shit, there’s a special place in hell for you douchebags. Shut the fuck up about Donald Trump. We wouldn’t have a single Donald Trump in politics, if we didn’t have millions of hypocrites like you making him look good by comparison.

5 years ago today, Dr. Fauci conspired with leading virologists to spread the false narrative that COVID-19 originated in nature. In private messages, each scientist who authored the “study” said COVID-19 looks like it was created in a lab.

today marks the 22 year anniversary of Rachel Corrie's murder by Israel. They intentionally crushed her to death with a bulldozer for trying to stop the demolition of Palestinian homes. After they killed her they made it a ritual to make pancakes with her face on it to celebrate

[Karishma @KarishmaPatel99]

I pitched Hind Rajab’s story to @BBCNews while she was still alive. I will never stop fighting for the newsroom conditions in which her story would have been told long before she was killed by Israel. We’d have seen immediate wall to wall coverage of a 5-year-old white girl.

It seems that some self-identified leftists are bothered that Trump is talking about peace.
