This Week with David Rovics

New song: "St Patrick's Day in Churubusco"

A song about what Kamala and I have been doing for the past several days in Mexico City.

"Mahmoud Khalil" REMIX

As we wait to hear whether Mahmoud Khalil will be given a trial, be deported without one, sent to Guantanamo, or who knows what, here's Chet Gardiner's powerful remix of the song I just wrote.

New song: "Mahmoud Khalil"

ICE agents taking orders directly from the top and disappearing a student activist with no warrant, no due process, canceling his green card and holding him incommunicado in an unknown location, this is what's happening in the USA right now.

The Disconnected 20% That Runs It All

Some thoughts on that majority element of top-quintile US society that persistently refers to itself as "the middle class."

"Toddlers-in-Chief" REMIX

Another fab remix from Chet Gardiner, of a song that's at least as relevant as it was a few days ago, when I wrote it, after that meeting in the Oval Office.

March 15-16 the Make the Planet Earth Great Again WORLD TOUR begins in MEXICO CITY!

New song: "Toddlers-in-Chief"

I'm constantly unable to decide whether they're brilliantly theatrical, Machiavellian coup-plotters or just bumbling billionaires whose emotional development stalled out a long time ago.

New song: "Meanwhile in Gaza"

The Israeli government has shut off the Gaza Ghetto completely, so no food can get in.  After a brief message from our sponsors, this holocaust now continues.

The People Want Music

I have some free advice to anyone trying to organize a memorable protest or a successful social movement.

Jury Duty

I don't know what came over me, but this time when I got the summons for jury duty, I didn't make up a reason why I couldn't do it.  Next time I get such a summons, I'll make sure I'm out of town, or have a sick child to care for.
