Trump makes war with the world.

Title track of Ai Tsuno's album. With captions.

This is what my comments on a typical Facebook post look like since the latest war on Iran started.

"If Wars Were Engineered from the Belly of the Beast" Then there would be one in Russia and one in the Middle East.

Music as the Beating Heart of the Resistance How are recent shifts in our political, financial, and cultural landscapes influencing the role the arts and humanities play in democratic life? How are individuals and communities responding?

Folks with this project are interviewing people and getting stories from them about being artists in the US today. Here's my bit.

"The #1 Sponsor of Terror on the Planet" The USA.

The #1 sponsor of terror in the world? The US, obviously.

"Blockade" The US-imposed oil blockade against Cuba is an act of war. This is what the US did to Japan that started the war in the Pacific in 1941.

The Hasbara Trolls are out in force, along with the fighter jets. They seek to sow doubt and create a toxic atmosphere. Every moment you spend engaging with them is completely wasted time.

Who is that guy who's music is so radical that YouTube Music deleted all of his albums and won't have his new one on their platform? David Rovics. New album out now, on all the streaming platforms except for YouTube.

At our vigil, we're against all of the US-Israeli wars of empire.

The US and Israel are slaughtering Iranians from the sky. There will be protests. But what we need is a sustained movement. That starts with putting on rallies that foster community, that move, educate, and inspire. Not rallies that leave people feeling alienated and dejected.

"War with the World" Trump is at war with the whole world, it appears. "War with the World" originally appears as the title track of Ai Tsuno's album of the same name.

"War with the World" appears on our new album, Insurrection Act, which drops on all the streaming platforms tomorrow (except YouTube Music, where I am banned for allegedly being a supporter of violent criminal organizations).

The War Department is going after Anthropic for daring to draw the line at participating in mass domestic surveillance or autonomous killing machines.

"Gaza Lullaby" Meanwhile in Gaza, Israel's slaughter of the Palestinian children continues, regardless of any fake ceasefires or border openings.

Meanwhile in the Caribbean, the new US oil blockade -- a blatant act of war -- intends to starve the Cuban people into submission.

"The War Machine" There are 5 US corporations that are responsible for so much of the killing. "The War Machine" originally appears on the David Rovics album, In Our Dreams, available on a streaming platform near you.

"Little Orange Toys" The Gaza Strip today is still littered with unexploded ordinance produced by Lockheed-Martin that are still regularly killing or maiming children who are attracted to shiny objects.

"The Rent is Too Damn High" The housing crisis across the USA is a prime example of how our federal and state governments have all been captured by the landlord lobby.

Your favorite obscure leftwing band never comes to your town? Don't complain -- organize a gig!

Songs are among the most powerful ways we can communicate. You can do it, too! Here's a very short lesson in topical songwriting.

"A Whistle and a Phone" The whistle and the camera within everyone's phones have become emblems of resistance.

Not all confirmed, but all likely... More to be added, and still room for others...

Thanks to your efforts, my YouTube channel has been restored! Sort of... I'm unable to post anything there, and all of my albums are still absent from YouTube Music. Please keep up the pressure!
