Cubans are part of Nuestra América (Our America) and need our support, now more than ever...

GENERAL STRIKE! (new song, 2 minutes) From my perspective, that’s what this country/system has needed for way too long; but now, before it’s too late… youtu.be/r22jubi_l9A #ProtestSongs #SingerSongwriter #MusicSky #GeneralStrike

National Geographic headline yesterday: "The average attention span has shrunk to roughly 40 seconds." I'm waiting for Trump to boast about having slashed his own 10-second attention span by 1500%.

From novel>song: Friendly Town is one of the original lyrics in Charlie Haas’s wonderful 2024 novel The Current Fantasy. I set them to music and did a solo recording; Jon Berger added musical wizardry; & @gemini-at-work.bsky.social produced this video (3:48): youtu.be/WC_RwjtvqVc #singer-songwriter

This war is illegal, immoral, and could be disastrous on a level that’s even hard to comprehend. It’s a copy of the Iraq War with even more combustible conditions. If Trump pushes us into this war we must engage in mass collective action to stop it. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/no-war-avo...

Even Costco's getting into the anti-fascist act!

From 'The Great Dictator': it hurts to realize how far this stirring 4-minute speech is from our reality... 85 years later. (Context: Chaplin as Jewish-ghetto barber as Hitleresque dictator, turning fascist conquest on its head; music from other film added to clip.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8Hd...

Here's a church I can get behind; in fact, I did.

confession: i started out with kill it, kill it! when i saw a spider. then i evolved to: take it outside. and this morning: how did you get here little guy? and my motto now:

Bonus track! "Week 13" of an antifascist song project. And as the song shouts, that's ENOUGH!!!!! Thanks to folks who’ve expressed support; onward…. #MusicSky #ResistanceMusic #ProtestSongs #SingerSongwriter #Resistance #Opposition youtu.be/o33vwmqdkIw

"Week 12" — last in an antifascist song series. I’m really glad to have spent the past 12 weeks on this musical project, which is now over. Not that the struggle is, of course…. #MusicSky #ResistanceMusic #ProtestSongs #SingerSongwriter #Resistance #Opposition youtu.be/M3O_5-0PLgI

Reed's Lullaby (video version) Writing weekly anti-fascist songs is like musical doomscrolling. So, a lullaby to celebrate our 3-month-old grandson. With immense gratitude to @gemini-at-work.bsky.social for her vision & tech-wizardry on the video. #SingerSongwriter #lullaby youtu.be/ARxsXnWVfcM

With appreciation to @jysexton.bsky.social for noting that music and fighting authoritarianism are both crucial... combining the two, here's "Week 10" of my Anti-Fascist Trump-II Song series: #MusicSky #ResistanceMusic #ProtestSongs #SingerSongwriter #Resistance #Opposition youtu.be/1XKnLAOIvcM

It’s time to start wrapping our heads around the real possibility that collective action and even a general strike are required. Musk is working fast to solidify control, do as much damage as possible, and party “opposition” is not up to the fight. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/collective...
