The tide must be turning. Do you feel the tide turning? Song of the day, They Came Like Swallows (Seven Requiems For The Children Of Gaza) by Bonner Kramer and Thurston Moore.

 

The opening of the Obama center has brought Barack Obama Back into the spotlight although he offers nothing new. He will be in the pocket of the oligarchy for the rest of his life, and that means he must continue to erase the history of Black people in order to stay in their good graces. Now he praises George Washington, the slaveholding genocidaire.

It is interesting that as Obama spoke of absolving Washington of his crimes he became visibly more nervous, less sure of himself. He realized that his whitewashing of history would not go over well. He was correct. He was widely vilified even by Black people who usually defend him, and his effort at upholding the history of white supremacy didn’t find an audience with the right either.

Like all presidents Obama is an errand boy for the oligarchy but he holds a special place for them, which is why he has to give puff piece interviews to the Democratic Party’s favorite network.

 Goin to the Chron, dependence day.

 

Last night Olive jumped up on the stack of photograph boxes, onto the bookcase, and knocked off my little pine tree. This morning she went and found it and carried it into the living room. There were no indentations on the little tree. 

 The struggle for human existence has begun. The question is whether we will fight with the urgency this moment demands to prioritize our common humanity and our planet above allowing business as usual to steam ahead.

 The ongoing genocides in Gaza and Sudan, wars in Ukraine, Iran and elsewhere pour tens of millions of tons of CO₂ into the atmosphere through fuel-guzzling jets, tanks, bombs, and reconstruction. Every missile fired, every drone launched, every city reduced to rubble accelerates the very climate breakdown that makes these heatwaves deadlier. War is not separate from the climate crisis — it is one of its most vicious engines.

 Yet the real climate warriors understand the connection. The struggle against fossil capitalism is inseparable from the fight against imperialism and colonialism. From the Niger Delta to the Amazon, from Standing Rock to Palestine, frontline communities are resisting both the extraction of their lands and the militarized violence that protects it. True climate justice demands an end to both the burning of fossil fuels and the wars that secure their dominance.
