What do you call humans being kidnapped and sent to another country to be imprisoned in shackles and forced to perform intense physical labor while living in horrid conditions under the threat of daily physical violence and rape?

It often takes a few years for a new concert work to gain traction, and when it finally does, its composer is very happy! My 2nd symphony SUSPENDED is currently making the rounds. I’ll get to hear its first, VERY intense “concert-opener" movement, AIRBORNE, at Carnegie Hall this Tues. the 11th!

No one is coming to save us but ourselves. There is no super hero. There will be no miracle. It's not a bad dream that we will just wake up from in the morning.
The only way this ends is if we kill the fantasy, roll up our sleeves, and take to the streets.
The only thing that is haunted is us.

There’s been a kind of…fashion of late to view anti-Trump libs as lame and cringe and just annoying, aesthetically. I remember this exact same aesthetic judgment in the run-up to the Iraq war. The earnest libs were right then and they’re right now.
