Kiddos won a contest to play with the Marines, Trump cancelled it, veterans stepped in and made it happen anyway!
Surge of rage canceled at the last second by the subtitle. Uplifting news.
Everything about it is just perfect.
Those children come across as bright and articulate, it shows how beneficial programs labeled DEI can be, it shows a triumph over this shitty evil scumbag president, that people will step in to do the right thing, and it shows that we do still have some journalists with spines.
It shows the marine band capitulating to the will of this shitty evil scumbag president, and it shows kids having to make do with an improvised group of individuals who will not have the same ability to preserve their program as a government backed effort.
It’s resistance, which we desperately need and which we desperately need to be getting into news cycles, but it’s no kind of triumph, and confusing it for one will only make it harder to fix the damage this shitty evil scumbag has done.
Future is terrifying, none the less, we ain’t all the worst
The word “forced” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline.
