Campaigning with Sam Husseini began this morning with coffee at Vigilante Coffee, where they liked my t-shirt. Two gigs with Sam in Hyattsville, Maryland coming up -- Sunday evening at Maryland Meadworks and Tuesday evening at Busboys and Poets, also with Lee Camp!

Year by year the USA is more and more a society of the dirt poor and the filthy rich. I don’t remember who said that, but I heard it on the radio. It’s true.

Lots of events coming up over the next week in Maryland with Sam Husseini, including this one!

One of Sam Husseini’s campaign slogans is “more peace, cheaper gas,” so I thought I’d write a song on that excellent theme. I'll be campaigning with him in Maryland starting Friday!

Apparently September 1st on the south coast of Iran was the 11th wedding the US military has bombed in the past 25 years or so.

The specter of an elderly lady being carried out of her apartment on a stretcher after the police used a battering ram to get in has succeeding in sparking a social movement in Spain.

Yesterday's memorial for my dear friend David Keith Cobb was a beautiful event. It was recorded for posterity, and it's on YouTube for anyone who missed it. www.youtube.com/live/wRE36Ra...

The contrast between how dire our collective straits are on planet Earth, and how comparatively little collective action is being taken to address the situation, seems like collective sleepwalking.

My latest album with the Ai Tsuno project, SETTLERS AND SOLDIERS, is now up on all the streaming platforms. It includes songs that have been heard by hundreds of thousands of people on social media already, such as "Zionist Billionaires."

I think this song describes the reality for around half of the parents I know.

One doesn't want to believe in crazy conspiracy theories, until it becomes inescapably evident the Zionist billionaires run the country.

I sometimes wonder how many combatants and commanders of US empire are even aware of the meaning of the most common greeting in the Muslim world?

Since I posted this song 2 days ago it's gotten a lot of praise from thousands of Iranians (only on Instagram). If anyone in Iran wants to organize a concert where I can sing it there live, I'll do my best to get there.

TODAY from 10 am to 2 pm at the Beaverton (Oregon) Public Library there will be a Gaza vigil with an emphasis on singing together. I'll also play some less sing-along kinds of songs, too. Come to Beaverton if you can, and bring your voice, along with banners and signs!

MARYLAND: I got the plane tickets! I'll be barnstorming around Maryland's 4th Congressional District with Sam Husseini and his campaign from October 8-15. Here's my song for his campaign with the Chet Gardiner band on my latest album. Come join us! davidrovics.bandcamp.com/track/sam-is...

Since 2001, the United States has attacked at least 11 weddings in four countries. They have killed at least 580 people. Not one single U.S. official has been held to account for these massacres.

The World Court and the rest of the United Nations that the Trump administration has been actively trying to dismantle are the very institutions that were intended to avoid World War 3.

In a most blatant show of support and facilitation for Israel’s program of levelling much of the Middle East, the administration is planning to give them 40,000 more one-ton bombs.

AUSTRALIA! Our gig in Katoomba has a very spiffy poster. We have lots of dates free for more shows. Notably lacking so far is anything in Sydney or Melbourne. House concert, anyone? It doesn't need to be big... Also we'll sing at protests for free.

Ever since the US invaded Russia in 1918, with the brief exception of World War 2, US policy has been to get other people to fight Russia for us, while claiming it's all about support for democracy.

One of the many ingenious ways the corporate press manufactures consent is by using terms like "moderate" to describe genocidal killers and "socialist" to describe the ones opposed to genocide.

It's been ages since I've done an online concert, and I need to practice more before I play in Victoria this weekend. So, Wednesday at noon Pacific/3 pm Eastern I'll be live on X, Facebook and YouTube.
