The Marine Band invited young musicians of color to perform—until Trump’s executive order shut it down. But they refused to be silenced. With military band veterans stepping in, they played for a nation that needed to hear them.

So many people still don't realize how many protests are erupting across the country. The sheer number of them should be national news, but instead we rely on local papers and the stories of the protesters themselves to document them. Here are a few from this week. 🧵

“POC” was targeted because they thought it meant “people of color.” It stood for “point of care” in medical emergencies: This Is the Research Ted Cruz Calls “Woke.” — ProPublica propublica.org/article/ted-c…

I think the funniest part about Republicans not understanding basic history is watching the U.S. military sing “One Day More” from Les Mis, at the 2025 Governors Ball…
Les Mis is about the French Revolution, where the people rose up against King Louis XVI's absolute monarchy.😹
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The events of Les Misérables takes place between 1815 and 1832, long after the French Revolution.

Instead, the fictional story draws inspiration from the 1832 June Rebellion, an anti-monarchy uprising against King Louis Philippe I, who had betrayed the trust of Parisians.

His energy is 🔥.

Trump firing much of our top military leadership overnight is wrong. I’ll speak out against this but I need you to join me. I want all of us, especially our veterans, to call this what it is — politicizing our military. This is dangerous behavior by a President.

People don't shed many tears when the IRS gets smaller.
But I want you to understand the game here. The 5,000 people Trump is laying off are those who go after the billionaire/corporate tax cheats. The Trump/Musk plan is simple: make it easer for the super rich to not pay taxes.
