\n\tOthers slated to perform at the rally include: Jeff Rosenstock, Dirty Projectors, Indigo De Souza, The Red Pears and the Raise Gospel Choir. <\/p>\n

\n\tSanders has been very vocal in his disdain for the Trump administration\u2019s ruinous tariff policies this week in the midst of a stock market meltdown that has spurred fears of a global recession, or possible depression, as a result of the President\u2019s unpredictable threats and retreats on international trade policy. During a CNN town hall with Anderson Cooper on Wednesday, Sanders lambasted Trump\u2019s pugilistic approach to foreign policy, saying, \u201cWe don\u2019t have to hate China. We don\u2019t have to hate other people. Let\u2019s figure out a way to work together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWith Trump threatening greatly increased tariffs on most countries in the world, then doing a sudden about-face just hours before they were slated to go into effect this week \u2014 while boosting tariffs on China to 125% \u2014 Sanders, 83, added, \u201cThe goal has got to be to break down these barriers that separate us as human beings \u2014 come together as Americans and come together globally as human beings.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe whipsawing of the markets has touched nearly every aspect of the economy, including music stocks<\/a>, which saw large declines last week after the President\u2019s so-called \u201cLiberation Day\u201d imposition of tariffs on all U.S. trading partners. The ensuing Wall Street bloodbath kicked off a massive decline across a number of stock indices, with a wide range of music stocks suffering major declines ranging from 6.8% for MSG Entertainment to 13.9% for Sphere Entertainment Co. last Thursday.<\/p>\n

\n\tSanders and AOC have been barnstorming across the country on their tour, drawing thousands, and in some cases tens of thousands, at rallies in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada and Utah. At a March 7 event in Kenosha, WI, Sanders invited Laura Jane Grace<\/a> on stage to perform a new song called \u201cYour God (God\u2019s D\u2013k)<\/a>,\u201d which caused some outrage online about its profane lyrics and religious themes.<\/p>\n

\n\tin the song, Grace notes that some while religious conservatives are struggling to use the proper pronouns for trans people, they have no problem when it comes to gendering a deity. \u201cDoes your god have a big fat d\u2013k?\/ \u2018Cause it feels like he\u2019s f\u2014ing me,\u201d Grace sings on the track. \u201cAre his b\u2013ls filled with lightning?\/ Do they dangle like heaven\u2019s keys?\u201d <\/p>\n
