Here’s another thing I want to know. Where the hell is Don Henley? And Jay-Z? And Taylor Swift?

 

Where are George Clooney, Oprah Winfrey, David Geffen?

 

Where are the Obamas, Pence, even Soros?

 

If this isn’t the moment, there won’t be a moment. Where are the multi-centimillionaires? Where are the people and artists with the loudest, most influential voices and deepest pockets?

 

For God’s sake, where is Bob Dylan? He made his reputation and fortune from railing against this despotism and evil. Was it just performative for show, Bob? We’ve gone from blowin’ in the wind to a fellow Minnesotan mom gettin’ blown away in the snow. The Masters of War are on the march and you’re just sitting on that $350,000,000 you just got?*

 

Neil Young just got himself $150 mill for just a portion of his songs. Four dead in Ohio was an appetizer for what tin soldiers are going to do with Trump coming after us. Gotta get down to it Neil, ICE is cutting us down. In real time. On camera. With no remorse or accountability.

 

We the People can’t take this evil (and the H8 Administration is clearly the actual evil enemy within after their reactions from top to bottom), obscenely-funded and armed juggernaut on by ourselves. We need big voices and the big money those voices made, from us, to step up.

 

So STEP UP! Spielberg, Mackenzie Bezos, every super-wealthy person who isn’t aligned with and brain-washed by MAGA.** We need you. Speak up with your platforms and your pocketbooks. Fund the causes. Fund the protests. Use your megaphones to take on this illegal, unAmerican regime.

 

WE NEED YOU. NOW.

 

*Bob, if these lyrics of yours don’t apply now, then they never did: “You put your eyes in your pocket and your nose on the ground.

There ought to be a law against you comin' around.”

 

**On the other side of the fence, a hedge fund billionaire who owns a $90 million apartment (not home, but apartment) in NYC donated a significant sum to the GoFundMe for Renee’s killer. So, where are our donors?
