This Week with David Rovics

Killing the Messenger

On the same day some journalists received the Nobel Peace Prize, another journalist is being held in a London prison, facing spending the rest of his life in a US prison.

Must We Call Them Fascists?

While the pandemic has brought some people together to confront a common foe, it has also exposed many divisions, and created others.

Living Room Jam

I livestreamed another little Winter Wednesday show from my living room today.

The Politics of Moral Outrage

A little end-of-the-year reflection on a social movement.

Democracy in the US Today with David Rovics

Before I hit the road for the tour I'm on currently, professor Layne Hartsell conducted this extended interview with me, mostly about my analysis of certain aspects of history and current events that I've been writing about a lot lately.

”Behind These Prison Walls” -- DontExtraditeAssange.com

I fly off to London on Friday.  Very much looking forward to all the gigs around England, Scotland, events around COP26, etc. -- but I'm especially looking forward to singing at the rally against extraditing Julian Assange to the US on Saturday, October 23rd.  While still here in my little home studio in Portland, I thought I'd render a version of the song I'll be singing that afternoon outside the Royal Courts of Justice.

Tigard, Oregon: Ground Zero in the Fight for Affordable Housing

Here's a report from me on last weekend's Rally for Senior Housing in Tigard, Oregon, a new ground zero in the struggle for affordable housing in the US.  (Capped off by a song I wrote on the subject as well.)

The Ballad of Woodspring Apartments and Hamilton-Zanze

Hamilton-Zanze is an investment group that specializes in buying what they call "undervalued properties" and making sure they get every bit of their money's worth of them, after they buy the buildings, kick out the residents, and double the rent, which is what they're trying to do with the only affordable housing apartment complex in Tigard, Oregon.  Rally on Saturday, 2 pm at 113th and Durham in Tigard with the residents!

Discussion with Michael Albert, author of No Bosses: A New Economy For A Better World

I haven't been interviewing people lately, but I did one today!  Fascinating discussion on a vitally important subject -- the organization of society and the future of humanity.
