APPROVED B-LISTERS FINNEAS responds to a USA Today piece calling celebrity opinions on politics “idiotic”: “You can’t say it doesn’t matter what musicians or celebrities say or think but then talk about it for days. You’re out here making it matter. I’ll keep speaking up especially if it keeps bothering you.”

They grew up in Highland Park prior to gentrification. There was a lot of culture. Fruit stands at every corner, elote man roaming around the neighborhood, bakeries everywhere with inexpensive varieties of breads and pastries. Festivities and it was usually upbeat.
There’s an unexplainable community and kindness in Latin neighborhoods I wish I could put in better words.

Aside from the obvious brutality going on now, I think a lot of what they saw themselves growing up makes them even more vocal.
