Last Notes npub19c6thv6rc8wf8gqynpghndk5sh29yrknly2nvzave4z9jqr943ssmk9fuh Beardy Star Stuff Representative Cori Bush, a progressive black woman from St. Louis, MO who is a member of the “Squad” and has been a powerful voice in Congress for poor people, women’s rights, healthcare, housing–and Palestine, just lost her primary because pro-Israel lobby groups flooded the race with outside funding. Her loss is a tremendous blow to progressives and to the U.S. electoral process itself. https://znetwork.org/znetarticle/aipac-hijacks-rep-cori-bushs-race-and-our-elections/ npub19c6thv6rc8wf8gqynpghndk5sh29yrknly2nvzave4z9jqr943ssmk9fuh Beardy Star Stuff Tiny Life Journal - Missouri has been spared much of this summers' heat but last week was hot and humid here so I used the AC. At 5am it’s 69°. Had I paid attention to the forecast I would have opened my windows last night. A missed opportunity. To conserve energy I usually turn the AC off at night and just run fans so it warms up a good bit. It was 80° in here this morning. A bit stuffy but tolerable. I stepped outside to heat some water for coffee... #ClimateDiary https://beardystarstuff.net/2024/08/03/060828.html npub19c6thv6rc8wf8gqynpghndk5sh29yrknly2nvzave4z9jqr943ssmk9fuh Beardy Star Stuff I didn't think it was possible but he's becoming even more unhinged and he's saying the things out loud that he shouldn't be. “You know what?

White supremacy by design. "More than 200 years later, the series of compromises the founders made have increasingly vested the majority of political power in the hands of a minority of the population—a reactionary conservative white minority that is seeking to entrench and hold onto power through a wide variety of anti-democratic means." https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rKQpp31dPTc npub19c6thv6rc8wf8gqynpghndk5sh29yrknly2nvzave4z9jqr943ssmk9fuh Beardy Star Stuff The US is a circus of white supremacy. The violence of today rooted in the violence of yesterday. There is a thru line from our foundation in settler colonialism to economic gains based upon slavery to this moment. Today our domestic violence is exported as war profiteering and a foreign policy rooted in constant interventions. A repeating cycle of violence with the goal of resource extraction, resource theft. It is fundamental to America. #Genocide #USViolence https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OO18F4aKGzQ npub19c6thv6rc8wf8gqynpghndk5sh29yrknly2nvzave4z9jqr943ssmk9fuh Beardy Star Stuff Brutal truth. Listen to this conversation with Saul Williams about the historical and ongoing colonialism by the Global North of the Global South. It’s white supremacy in service of resource extraction, plain and simple.

" Extreme heat, intensified by climate change, has blanketed much of the United States this summer, killing more than a dozen people in Oregon in recent days.

All Biden had to do was remain marginally coherent and not do something unforgivably sadistic, like abet a genocide of children, but no.

"You can’t understand the scope of 122,000 names until you see them on a wall. Each name, taken from the 1870 census, belonged to a former enslaved person. These are surnames. Family names.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Nothing. It's decades of apathy and fear of rocking the boat that have destroyed the US. It's a comforatble middle class that values itself and it's possesions that have eroded what little pretend democracy that may have existed. npub19c6thv6rc8wf8gqynpghndk5sh29yrknly2nvzave4z9jqr943ssmk9fuh Beardy Star Stuff Over the past few years I've been making an effort to eliminate foods and products that come in plastic containers.
