Save the Humans: a guided tour

The Ai Tsuno Project's latest album, Save the Humans, drops on all the music streaming platforms on January 15th.  Ai Tsuno’s 10th album includes such instant classics as “Disarm Israel,” “Message from Gaza,” and “Bisbee, Arizona, 1917.”

"If the Rest of Us Could Be So Good"

A song for Renee Nicole Good, killed by ICE in Minneapolis on January 7th, 2026.

"In This Very Old New World Order"

As much as Trump is behaving in ways that could be characterized as unprecedented, in other ways his behavior is surprisingly consistent with the history of US imperialism.

"Our Oil"

How is it that our oil is always underneath their soil?

The Open Veins of Latin America, Revisited

What does the US invasion of Venezuela, the Cuba-Venezuela Solidarity Tent at the World Social Forum, and my visit to the US-Mexico border last weekend have in common?

"In the Moments Before the Third World War"

Between abducting the Venezuelan president, killing scores of Cubans, boarding Russian tankers, and threatening to invade Greenland, the immediate future is feeling very sketchy.

"Another War for Oil"

Venezuela, 2026.

"They'll Starve the Children"

Meanwhile in Gaza, Israel is banning aid groups and starving all the children to death. Anyone going to kidnap Netanyahu and his wife?

"Save the Humans"

Is there hope for planet Earth? Well, there's always the prospect of being saved by Aliens from Outer Space. Title track of Ai Tsuno's January 15th album release!

"Disarm Israel"

Miko Peled was on Al-Jazeera the other day, making so much good sense, I had to write a song about it.

“Disarm Israel” will be one of several catchy tracks about the ongoing US-Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people that will be part of Ai Tsuno’s January 15th album release, Save the Humans.
