Incredible bravery and courage from both if them. Solidarity with Issa Rae and Shonda Rhimes. More artists should take note and use their class solidarity to fight back against MAGA. ❤️🫂❤️
So, the Lawrence Welk Orchestra will be risen from the dead. I'm sure JFK will be in attendance & just maybe there will be a duet singing "Happy Birthday" with Lara & Marilyn. The new President will be back up dancer. 🤣
And that is what every last person with a voice should be doing in our country. I hear silence from too many of them. What? Are they waiting to see how they will be affected or what?
This man is out for vengeance and is hell bent on destroying everything in his path isn't he? All I see is mass chaos and alot of outraged people. Kudos to all who stand up to the unjust takeover by EVEN MORE unqualified inexperienced people appointed by #47.
It’s what #Snuffatrumpagus wanted: whitewash all of #Murica, one locale/business/organisation/group at a time as he inserts himself as King Dick McSwinging of every nook and cranny of this sad, sad country. Clearly it’s what his voters wanted too.
BTW, Missouri is taking aim at Starbucks’ DEI hiring policies, calling them “mere pretext for its actual commitment to unlawful discrimination,” and alleging that order times are taking longer because the company isn’t hiring the best candidates. Boo Hoo, your latte took too long to prepare.
Tim Allen will do stand-up comedy, Kid Rock will perform and a few other will have shows that have really bad attendance. Eventually, it will be shut down and the next administration will try to revive it.
Say what? All metals going forward are shit. The medals that were given before the POS inserted himself on the board have been well earned and given by respectable non felonious presidents.
You aren’t leaving spaces; you’ve been kicked out. This is just the practical reality of that. They won’t be choosing future artists that would do anything anyway, don’t leave them money to support that.
It is capitulation to pretend that is the case now. All he wants is to get the "cool kids" to do what he wants. No reason artists should submit to that.
I understand resigning in protest but wouldn't staying be more effective. Because now, there's just another empty seat for him to replace with his cronies.
They're taking a stance and saying no, they will not participate with this new leader. They left on their own versus staying and having to deal with those jokers who likely would have pushed them out.
It’s sad because it feel like this is what they want. So are we going to find another space or venue for Issa Rae’s show or is Shonda Rhimes going to be a board member of another center. It seems like this just contributes to the “drained pool” theory. Why not keep taking up space? 😭
From Issa Rae to Lee Greenwood, ugh. The right wings idea of culture is so tacky and bland. I am thanking both of these strong Black women for their example of holding to their values. I hope other folks can be as brave.
Anyone who dares perform there will never get liberal support like ever again. The blowback will be even worse than performing at his inauguration. This is so insulting to all artists.
Shonda Rhimes needs to leverage her considerable celebrity and resources to rally those in the entertainment industry, and help take this country back.
What Trump did was totally legal. Unprecedented, but legal. Personally, I had no trouble with firing Antony Blinken. The rest and naming himself chair, well...

You can’t honestly support this can you?

Can you imagine Scott baio on stage singing All Summer Long?
Nugent’s Cat Scratch Fever: the musical
So resigning actually is not the path to take.

You shouldn't just get to install yourself wherever you want
Watch, as 95% of American males go spontaneously blind.
If you’re booked for a performance, USE THAT STAGE.
Black women are tired of doing the work, and are really tired of being told by white people to do the work
There are plenty of other folk out there who need to be stepping up.
Shonda's doing her part. Please don't demand she do more.
One simply can not buy integrity.
👍👏👏
Good for them.
