OK, now they're firing all the military lawyers who are supposed to be responsible for determining whether a command is legal or not.  Folks, this is definitely a coup, in case there was any question.  This is not a corruption cleanup operation, it is a dictatorship installation operation.  Here's Chet Gardiner's hopping remix of the song I wrote about it earlier this month.

To the list of allegedly democratic, free countries where the police arrest journalists for writing in opposition to Israeli fascism, we may now add Canada.

A really lively remix of this song I wrote earlier this month (that Elon Musk earned every penny of), with an especially counterpunctual bass line, from Chet Gardiner's studio in Hawai'i.

"The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking, and thus we drift toward unparalleled catastrophe."  Albert Einstein 

I learned belatedly that the wonderful and brilliant woman on the left of this photo, Joan S. Livingston, died last month, at the age of 70. This photo is from December 1st, 2024, last time I was in Boston, playing at the Community Church of Boston, where I had seen her so many times before.

Another song for the ongoing DOGE coup d'etat.

In a special episode of This Week with David Rovics, I had a discussion earlier today with Peter Phillips about his new book, Titans of Capital: How Concentrated Wealth Threatens Humanity. 

With Trump's new round of immigration raids, detention centers, and protests against them, I'm remembering two decades ago.

Finally, Elon gets his own song.

Will the real populist please stand up?
