#ANOHNI Shares New Song “R.N.C. 2020”: Listen

ANOHNI has self-released a new protest song called “R.N.C. 2020,” inspired by the Republican National Convention that took place last week in Charlotte, North Carolina and Washington, D.C., among other locales. Check it out below.

In an accompanying statement, ANOHNI laments the current administration and the vision for America’s future laid out at the convention, decrying a “religious state straight out of The Handmaid’s Tale,” the “obscene propaganda” of Fox News, and, “incessant, nihilistic assaults on truth, empathy and the biosphere.” Check out the full statement below.

Earlier this month, ANOHNI shared covers of Bob Dylan’s “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue” and Nina Simone’s “Be My Husband.” Her last album, HOPELESSNESS, arrived in 2016.

R.N.C. 2020

I watched the R.N.C. last week. It’s becoming harder to put into the
words the dread that many of us feel.

What’s really happening? Toxic levels of corruption and collusion are
devouring the U.S.

Christian extremists want to turn the country into a religious state
straight out of The Handmaid’s Tale.

After bombarding us with media campaigns pressuring us not to wear
masks in March and April, the U.S. now contains 22 percent of all
COVID deaths. I
personally know three New Yorkers who died in April as a result of
this official guidance.

Trump has stoked racist police violence in the U.S. to even more
atrocious heights. Scaring voters with fake tales of impending anarchy
and “dark shadows,” Trump then promises that if re-elected he will
crush BLM protesters and “restore law and order.” Is he getting this
stuff from Steve Bannon or Mein Kampf? Probably both.

Trump is hosting Federal executions in the countdown to the election
as another prong of his racist, fake “law and order” platform. Last
Thursday, the U.S. government defied Navajo tribal sovereignty and
executed Lezmond Mitchell, injecting him with a massive quantity of
Pentobarbitol in a death chamber in Indiana.

Behind this curtain of carefully orchestrated chaos, the network of
corporate lobbyists that form the core of the Republican party pillage
the U.S. Treasury and dismantle scores of environmental regulations,
driving the country and the world even more hopelessly into global
boiling and mass extinction.

Australian Rupert Murdoch blares his obscene propaganda into American
homes, hypnotizing viewers with lies, rage and fear-mongering.
Meanwhile, 40,000 square miles of Australian wilderness burned last
summer, killing over a billion animals. More than half of the Great
Barrier Reef has collapsed in the last five years due to rapidly
increasing ocean temperatures. The same kinds of awful, permanent
losses are engulfing nature on every continent.

For many people, economic suffering looms while Amazon, Facebook,
Google, Tesla, Apple and others expand their global footprints,
sucking dry local economies. Some of the CEOs pour the wealth of the
world into colonial space programs. They fantasize that they might
finally shed their dependence upon Mother Earth and become the heroic
Creators and patent-holders of life on Mars.

Unlike the Koch brothers, who paid for the malevolent spread of
climate change denial, today’s tech billionaires scent themselves with
a pheromone of liberal philanthropy while monetizing the dismantling
of checks and balances that once helped to protect us. They take
meetings with Trump, provide him with the viral platforms he needs to
retain the presidency, advertise themselves as having done the
opposite, and then hedge their bets in private. Huge swaths of
California’s ancient redwood forests continue to burn around the
perimeter of Silicon Valley.

Incessant, nihilistic assaults on truth, empathy and the biosphere
ensure that life on earth will become much, much worse.

On the campaign trail in 2016, Trump’s team described him as the first
presidential candidate since Harry Truman with “the guts” to “drop the
bomb.” Trump stood there, grinning with pride, and a wave of nausea
spread through me. I had the same feeling a few months ago, when I
heard Trump utter the words “the Chinese virus.”

What waits for us on the other side of this is a world undone by
endless cataclysm and aching with senseless loss.

The sound of this track “R.N.C. 2020” is pretty rough. The loop is
from a concert I did at a club in New York City in my early twenties.
So that’s me screaming in the past… for the present.

Can you visualize a different path forward? We All have to focus on
this now, with everything we’ve got.

ANOHNI
