"Ketanji Brown Jackson may not be officially seated on the Supreme Court yet, but that didn’t stop an exuberant block party celebrating her historic nomination from taking place at 14th and S Streets NW [DC] on Saturday. The gathering was held at the site of an in-progress mural depicting Jackson and featured performances by the Howard University marching band, rapper Fly Zyah, and the go-go band Be’la Dona, as well as a slate of speakers. In the closed off streets, people held up signs in support of the judge, wrote chalk messages, and played double Dutch. Several speakers led calls of “When I say Black women, you say lead,” which the crowd eagerly responded to, along with whoops and the ringing of bicycle bells."

"Scorpions singer Klaus Meine has opened up about his decision to alter some of the words in the band's anti-war anthem "Wind Of Change" order to appropriately reflect what's going on in Europe. The song was inspired by the sight of thousands of Russians cheering them on in 1988, when they became the first hard rock band to play in Russia, and in 1989, at the aforementioned festival, even though they were a German band. On March 26, at the opening concert of Scorpion's "Sin City Nights" residency at Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino In Las Vegas, Nevada, Meine told the crowd before launching into "Wind Of Change": "This song is calling for peace, and tonight, I think, we shall sing it even louder. We dedicate this to the brave people in the Ukraine."

"Before we came [to Las Vegas to begin the residency], I was thinking about how it feels to play 'Wind Of Change' the way we used to play for so many years, and I thought, it's not the time with this terrible war in Ukraine raging on, it's not the time to romanticize Russia with lyrics like, 'Follow the Moskva / Down to Gorky Park,' you know?" he said. "I wanted to make a statement in order to support Ukraine, and so the song starts now with, 'Now listen to my heart / It says Ukraine, waiting for the wind to change.'"
