Thanks, Marianna. For those of us who lived in the Marshalls when the "blue shirts" were there, and related to the flamboyant but capable Tony deBrum, the NTY report and the US sense of "responsibility" bordering into exploitation is familiar and dismaying. Of course, the GOP will block anything that appropriates anything for the Marshallese. That the Marshallese need to move elsewhere (67 explosions in Bikini is a lot of radiation) was evident when I was there in the 80s and someone from Ebeye wanted to buy a pickup through TASC. The buyer paid with a check in full and when I went to Kwajalein to see if the check was good, I was surprised to see that if I added three more zeroes, I'd come close to neighborhood of his account total. Marshallese allowed to move to the US is quite different from the legal standing of the Syrians bared by Texas from migrating, but Tony as a child of the earthrise consciousness will find a way to make the effort smoother and still retain the integrity of the remaining real estate identity with the culture of the people being displaced.
