What musicians did after an executive order on DEI led to the cancellation of U.S. Marine Band collaboration

"...I just felt like, well, there's usually two responses to something. You can complain about it, or you could do something about it. I chose the latter within seconds. And it was the easiest decision ever.....
With the active-duty Marines ordered to stand down, Equity Arc reached out to retirees who answered the call from everywhere, former band members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Westpoint, the Naval Academy and the Marines....The original Marine Band concert would have been seen by hundreds. Here, tonight, these musicians are being heard by millions...."

Seriously, I would not travel to the US under any circumstances. The risk that I would be detained/imprisoned/deported etc is real. Anyone who has expressed anti-MAGA/anti-Trump sentiments on social media is a prime candidate for such treatment. #USPol

#TradeWar Retaliation Will Hit #Trump Voters Hardest

As Trump imposes #tariffs on products from countries around the world, foreign govts are answering back w/tariffs of their own.

#China has targeted corn farmers & carmakers. #Canada has put tariffs on poultry plants & A/C manufacturers, while #Europe will hit American steel mills & slaughter houses.

Interview: Craig Mokhiber resigned as a director in the UN over the UN leadership's policy on Israel's genocide in Gaza.

Mokhiber: "My critique was never of the idea of the UN.

"My critique was of the UN leadership, which was so frightened by western power that it abandoned the very mandate, principles & purposes of the organization out of fear."

Analysis: There is "no military or political logic to the US attacks" on Yemen's Houthis

While danger to shipping in the Red Sea is reason for concern, "it could be resolved diplomatically"

~Nabeel Khoury

The US pre-emptively attacked Yemen after the Houthis threatened to resume attacks on Israel-linked ships over Israel's blockade of Gaza.

Edit: Latest death toll is 53

Am sure Trump wants a 10% "tribute" off the top, like any self-respecting mob boss. That's 100,000,000,000 per trillion paid out.
