Noise #178: A floating stage of garbage
Music reacting to dehumanizing rhetoric from Madison Square Garden last night.
Highlights from last night’s rally at Madison Square Garden included one speaker calling Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” and another declaring Kamala Harris “the antichrist.”
I appreciated The Scoop’s coverage, which let the event’s transphobic, sexist, and racist rhetoric speak for itself.
I recorded Noise #178 thinking about the sad legacy of dehumanization in politics…

… and how the real garbage last night was coming from the stage at Madison Square Garden.
This is Noise #178:
Wishing you peace,
