Jabaliya

Jabaliya
(2024)

As the genocide of the Palestinian people carried out by the Israeli military accelerates, I haven't written as much as I did during the first several months of the Israeli horrors. Every murdered child deserves many songs, but at the same time, what more is there to say? How many different ways are there to rephrase "stop killing the children"?

But I did write nine songs, and one poem, between August and October, 2024, and they're all on this album, along with a new recording of a song I wrote in 2016 (guess which one).

Boycott, Sanction, and Divest

The House Un-Israeli Activities Committee

The House Un-Israeli Activities Committee
(2024)

"Antisemitism" is the new "communism" -- have you ever said anything that could be construed in someone's convoluted mind as somehow anti-Jewish? Iran is the new USSR, Elise Stefanik is the new Joe McCarthy, and the House Un-Israeli Activities Committee is going strong, ruining one life at a time, and striking fear throughout academia and beyond.

A luta continua (Keep on Looting)

A luta continua (Keep on Looting)
2020

I've long thought it was convenient and appropriate that the English word "loot" and the Portuguese word for "struggle" sound very similar. The powers-that-be are looting the people and the planet in so many ways every day of the year, but on rare occasions when some people dare loot back a little, like in Chicago a couple nights ago, it's time to call in the National Guard.

Song for Aaron Bushnell

Song for Aaron Bushnell
(2024)
Bearing Witness

On February 25, 2024, Aaron Bushnell, a 25-year-old serviceman of the United States Air Force, died after setting himself on fire outside the front gate of the Embassy of Israel in Washington, D.C. Immediately prior to the live-streamed act, Bushnell said that he was protesting against "what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers" and declared that he "will no longer be complicit in genocide", after which he doused himself with a flammable liquid and set himself on fire.

As he burned, Bushnell repeatedly shouted "Free Palestine!" while one Secret Service officer pointed a gun at him and two others attempted to extinguish him.

Lines Are Drawn
(2024)

One of the most well-known aspects of the Second World War was that the virulently anti-communist leaders of countries like the United Kingdom made an alliance with the Soviet Union, because of the mutual interest they all thought they had in defeating Hitler. Here we are again -- but where's the united front against fascism?

Say their names

Elijah Jovan McClain, un massaggiatore afroamericano di 23 anni di Aurora in Colorado, fu ucciso la sera del 24 agosto 2019 a seguito di un'aggressione perpetrata dagli agenti di polizia Nathan Woodyard, Jason Rosenblatt e Randy Roedema e di un'iniezione di ketamina come sedativo dai paramedici. Un cittadino di Aurora aveva segnalato alla polizia che McClain si stava comportando in modo sospetto indossando una maschera da sci. La stessa persona aveva però anche indicato che non credeva che qualcuno fosse in pericolo e che pensava che McClain fosse disarmato. I tre poliziotti [1] dichiararono che le loro telecamere a corpo andarono fuori uso durante una colluttazione con McClain ma le riprese della telecamera di almeno un ufficiale dimostrano che l'affermazione era falsa. La registrazione mostra come all'agente fu chiesto di allontanare la telecamera dall'immagine di... (continua)

Fu governatore coloniale nel Nuovo Galles del Sud, in Australia, ed ebbe un ruolo cruciale nello sviluppo economico e sociale del territorio, che sotto la sua guida cominciò la transizione da colonia penale a libero insediamento.
