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...."

I wonder when the #Republican Voters will recognize that they have been sold to #Putin #Russia years ago.
I would like to know what the #veterans of all the #wars against #communism have to say about this. #Korea #Vietnam #Syria #Kuba #Traitor


You want to know pissed? The rage so many of us feel is buried under dark jokes and gallows humor but it is there, trust me. Our brothers and sisters ate shit for 2 decades while “America was at the mall”.

#veterans



You know why so many of us struggle with angry veteran syndrome? Bc our fathers and mothers got sent to Vietnam on some bullshit and then the gov turned around and did it again with Iraq. #veterans


What happens when #veterans can’t get care? I wrote a whole ass series about the impact not just on them but on the people they love. Intergenerational fucking around and finding out. https://jessicascottbooks.com/collections/the-falling-series

"Beginning this week, local #TV stations around the country have begun running human interest stories about #veterans, members of #military families or #Trump supporters getting fired as part of Elon’s #purge. Meanwhile, we can see a growing cleavage between what congressional #Republicans are saying in Washington and what they’re saying back in their districts."

One of the little things that made me wince: At the end of a story about a man who voted for Trump and has now lost his federal agency job:

"Editor’s Note: This article has been updated to remove identifying information for the person’s safety."

Their 'help' is killing you:

"An analysis of 191 countries... found that countries with better psychiatric services experienced higher #suicide rates.

In 2016, the US Dept of #Veterans Affairs published a study that showed that, whether the veterans had received a psychiatric diagnosis or not, there were many more suicides among those who were treated..."

Breaking the Silence, an Israeli veterans’ organisation monitoring Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory, said the current death toll of 45,000 people killed in Gaza means that 15,000 more people have been killed than the Israeli army’s estimate for Hamas’s entire membership.
