The post The Armed to Open for Senator Bernie Sanders in Michigan appeared first on Consequence.
Hardcore act The Armed is set to open a speaking engagement by US Senator Bernie Sanders on Saturday (March 8th) in Warren, Michigan.
The unconventional booking is being billed as 'Fighting Oligarchy: Where We Go From Here with Bernie Sanders in Warren.' The Armed announced the performance via social media, sharing a vintage punk-style poster featuring the Vermont senator, which can be seen below. Those looking to attend can RSVP via Sanders' website.
Sanders, 83, is in the midst of a spoken-word tour in an effort to 'take on the oligarchy' following the re-election of Donald Trump.
'I think it is an appropriate time to ask the question that the media and most politicians don't seem to be asking: What do he and other multi-billionaires really want? What is their end game?' Sanders in a video announcement for the tour [via Newsweek]. 'Whatever we can do is what we must do. Needless to say, I intend to do my part, both inside the Beltway and traveling throughout the country to stand up for working families and to take on the oligarchy.'
As for The Armed, the Detroit collective released Perfect Saviors in 2023, an album that saw the group embracing a more post-hardcore/noise rock sound. They also unveiled the EP Everlasting Gaze this past October.
Check out the poster for the Bernie Sanders gig below.

LA Protester Stomped by Police on Horseback as Clashes Escalate: Video
A video has gone viral on social media which appears to show a protester being stomped by police on horseback in Los Angeles, amid escalating violence. Newsweek has reached out to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) via email for comment outside of regular working hours. Why It Matters Protesters have been demonstrating against Donald Trump administration's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in the city. Hundreds of protesters and federal immigration authorities in riot gear have clashed for three nights running. The clashes highlight deepening conflicts between sanctuary jurisdictions and federal immigration policy, as Trump has implemented sweeping changes through executive orders and utilized the wartime Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to expand deportation authority. What To Know One version of the video, which has also aired on TV, has been shared on X, formerly Twitter, by the account @hearinladotcom and shows a person lying on the ground in the road surrounded by police, some of whom are on foot while others are on horseback. Content warning: this video contains violent scenes which could be distressing to some viewers. LAPD used horses to stomp on a man on the ground — Hear in LA (@hearinladotcom) June 9, 2025 One horse first appears to kick the man. Another horse then appears to walk over the man, stomping him in the process. Shortly after this, the man tries to stand up, but he is then grabbed by a police officer and thrown to the ground. The post was captioned "LAPD used horses to stomp on a man on the ground," and has been viewed 157,600 times at time of writing . A video was also shared by the account @paultao, which shows a different angle of the apparent stomping. The two videos shared online appear to have been filmed from different devices and different angles but show the same scene and are being widely circulated online. The exact context of the video isn't clear. Self-described independent reporter Talia Jane @tailiaotg posted on X that a person had been trampled by an LAPD horse on TV, though the video footage she shared appears to be of a different incident, albeit at the same location. She then followed up the post, writing that someone had allegedly thrown a Molotov cocktail, which prompted law enforcement to rush the sidewalk on horses. Since the violence broke out, confrontations between protesters and law enforcement have seen protesters throwing rocks and allegedly throwing Molotov cocktails at officers, who have responded with tear gas and rubber bullets. Protests erupted on Friday amid reports of ICE raids in Los Angeles, resulting in multiple arrests. On Saturday evening, the president announced that he had authorized the mobilization of 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles after reported violence against law enforcement, specifically federal ICE agents. What People Are Saying Talia Jane, a reporter on X:"looks like someone threw a molotov, prompting cops to rush the sidewalk. LAPD rushes 2 people holding onto each other trying to get out of the way - walking past the streak of flames, clearly not who threw it. LAPD uses horse to charge forward, push them down, trample them." Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass wrote on X:"We will always protect the constitutional right for Angelenos to peacefully protest. However, violence, destruction and vandalism will not be tolerated in our City and those responsible will be held fully accountable." California Governor Gavin Newsom posted on X following the National Guard announcement:"I have formally requested the Trump Administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops in Los Angeles county and return them to my command. We didn't have a problem until Trump got involved. This is a serious breach of state sovereignty—inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they're actually needed. Rescind the order. Return control to California." President Donald Trump on Truth Social on Saturday:"If Governor Gavin Newscum, of California, and Mayor Karen Bass, of Los Angeles, can't do their jobs, which everyone knows they can't, then the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem, RIOTS & LOOTERS, the way it should be solved!!!" What's Next City leaders have warned that further protests may follow. In a statement on Friday, Mayor Karen Bass said of the immigration enforcement operation: "It sows a sense of terror in the community. It's bad enough that it happened at this location, but the way this goes and spreads throughout the community, people are not sure where they are safe."

Questlove Pays Tribute to Sly Stone: 'Changes He Sparked While Here Will Echo Forever'
The post Questlove Pays Tribute to Sly Stone: 'Changes He Sparked While Here Will Echo Forever' appeared first on Consequence. Questlove has paid tribute to late funk pioneer Sly Stone. In an Instagram post, The Roots drummer and music historian reflected on the musician's legacy and vast accomplishments, while also sharing his personal experience working on the original documentary Sly Lives! (aka the Burden of Black Genius). 'Sly Stone, born Sylvester Stewart, left this earth today, but the changes he sparked while here will echo forever. From the moment his music reached me in the early 1970s, it became a part of my soul,' Questlove wrote. 'Sly was a giant — not just for his groundbreaking work with the Family Stone, but for the radical inclusivity and deep human truths he poured into every note. His songs weren't just about fighting injustice; they were about transforming the self to transform the world. He dared to be simple in the most complex ways — using childlike joy, wordless cries, and nursery rhyme cadences to express adult truths. His work looked straight at the brightest and darkest parts of life and demanded we do the same.' Questlove continued by acknowledging Stone's addiction battle and disappearance from the spotlight before stating that the artist 'lived long enough to outlast many of his disciples, to feel the ripples of his genius return through hip-hop samples, documentaries, and his memoir.' 'Still, none of that replaces the raw beauty of his original work,' Questlove added. 'As I reflect on his legacy, two lines haunt me: 'We deserve everything we get in this life' — a line from the Sly Lives! documentary that feels like both a warning and a manifestation — and, of course, the eternal cry of 'Everyday People': 'We got to live together!' Once idealistic, now I hear it as a command. Sly's music will likely speak to us even more now than it did then. Thank you, Sly. You will forever live.' Stone's death at the age of 82 was announced by his family earlier today, June 9th. It followed 'a prolonged battle' with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and 'other underlying health issues.'
