Last night the US dropped bombs on Iran, but still, two of the four barn swallow nestlings were ready to fledge, and did, this morning
Last night the US dropped bombs on Iran, but still, i washed the hummingbird feeders meticulously with bottle brushes, as if they were my own once-baby-son’s bottles, and filled them with fresh, sugared well water, this morning
Last night the US dropped bombs on Iran, but still, i tried to stake the seven foot, no eight foot, tall hollyhocks, bent over by overnight wind gusts, this morning
Last night the US dropped bombs on Iran, but still, Israel was committed to its holocaust of Gaza, this morning
Last night the US dropped bombs on Iran, and i earnestly searched reddit for military opinions about possible conscription of our young people, both this morning — and last night
political&ideological opposition is meaningless now
Billionaire JB Pritzker, the current Governor of the State of Illinois in an annual constitutionally mandated “State Of The State” address of February 19, 2025, questioned the near and long-term State of the Union — of the United States of America,
the relevant paragraphs are excerpted below with a link to the full transcript:
While US President Donald Trump né Drumpf floats the possibility of annexing Canada, acquiring Greenland by force or finance, and “taking over” Gaza creating a diaspora of 1.7 million Palestinian People, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov diplomatically re-invokes the Yalta-Potsdam system of agreements in his latest essay for “Russia In Global Affairs” with a re-invitation to the US — to reject its unsustainable and too-long unbridled path of global hegemony — and join the future as an equal nation of a multipolarity center along with China, Russia and nations in every quatrasphere of the World:
Winter Sky Sunrises and endless Horizon, Mountains, Forests, Prairies and Waters were traded for cities, skyscrapers and highways, built and named by corporations, governments and militias to populate with executives, politicians, engineers, administrators, marketers, managers, soldiers and subordinates — the wealth of the corporate-nation city-state dependent on the slow, then fast, destruction of all the Land and Waters and Beings on Earth
the Earth, on which i stood to take this photo this very Morning — and, the Atmosphere, which made the Trees, the Snow, the Clouds, and the Sky colors possible at all, this very Morning.
steel towers, stone temples, asphalt streams, and concrete rivers built to ensure that our feet rarely touch the Earth, that our eyes rarely witness true Living and true Being,
that we look up or that we look down, but, that we barely look around,
that we rarely look within and that we that we never look beyond — so that we forget to remember.
the cities were designed and engineered for doing — which is the opposite of Being;
doing, which is a euphemism for undoing;
undoing, which is actually destruction — and which is ultimately,
a forgetting.
Forgetting to remember where we came from.
Forgetting to remember what we are made of.
Forgetting to remember what we were made for.
Morning of january 22, 2025
Our Elders say that ceremony is the way we can remember to remember. In the dance of the giveaway, remember that the Earth is a gift that we must pass on, just as it came to us. When we forget, the dances we’ll need will be for mourning. For the passing of Polar Bears, the Silence of Cranes, for the Death of Rivers and the Memory of Snow.”
Luigi Mangione: I was going to use a bomb to kill the CEO but I didn’t want to harm anyone else
US Government: This is terrorism
Netanyahu: We are using unguided 2000 pound bombs in a densely populated civilian area to level entire apartment blocks
US Government: This is self-defence
Replicating anti anti-fascist and anti anti-zionist propaganda and gaslighting tactics, the political marketing class and sworn officials of the U.S. and New York State Governments cosplay as integrity police and justice arbiters, and attempt to manipulate both the rule of their false law and their false order to condemn, litigate and abolish the law of the streets and resistance movements for liberation and justice.
They will fail.
“What do you do? You wack the C.E.O. at the annual parasitic bean-counter convention. It’s targeted, precise, and doesn’t risk innocents,”
passage written in a notebook attributed to alleged Anti-Terrorist, Luigi Mangione
a “was” that most all of us alive this morning have never known as lived experience — save for the untouched tribes — 10,000 Uncontacted Peoples — 10,000 unsystematized, “uncivilized”
and the Ocean, and the few, still-standing Ancient One Trees; the untouched Desert, and the Mountains — even the youngest of them — The Tetons and The Himalayas, know what it “was” to be alive.
the Sun just keeps on shining setting and rising, setting and rising while the People of Palestine, of Congo, are genocided
the deception of the “life-bringer” Sun on yet another day of genocides
did you know that Yaldaboath only feigned dismay when Cain blew his own brother away; then He later told Abraham to kill his own son, just to prove that he was obsessed enough
you know, that dear Jesus in heaven comfortably stayed all throughout the Trans-Atlantic slave trade,
and that Allah had no problems with the Caliphates and The One True God was all about The Crusades
and that Creator ignored the prayers and the pleas of First Peoples slaughtered by steel, starvation, and European disease
and that Yahweh was pre-occupied during the Holocaust busy planning and inciting the Palestinians’ cruel loss
from Auschwitz to Al-Shifa, He so craves burnt offerings His global portfolio — built solely on dead things
He created the Sun to grow His tainted Seeds Horror by daylight, His Grand Design? — what a fucking death scheme
Auden once begged to “dismantle the Sun” for the loss of his own be-loved one
but Hark!
for the loss of our collective soul, dismantlement’s just not good enough, leave Him no parts, no plans to re-build and restart!
