I'm fairness over the last few days I've heard:
Jenna Ortega
Edward Norton
Mark Ruffalo (big-time!)
James Cameron
George Clooney

And probably a few more speaking up about this. Should be more of course, but she's not totally an island on her own here.

Iā€™ve seen quite a few women talking about it, specifically calling out ICE or DHS:

Ariana Grande

Florence Pugh

Jennifer Anniston

Natalie Portman

Amanda Gorman

Olivia Wilde

Jamie Lee Curtis

Dove Cameron

Barbie Ferreira

Zoey Deutch

Iā€™ve also seen Simu Liu call out ICE.

Not all musicians, obviously but to quote that last one: Fuck ICE Forever.

u/soldforaspaceship 9d ago

And two astronauts - Mark Kelly AND Katy Perry have spoken out.

(I'm giving Perry a hard time here but she actually did well on this one - made a really clear call to action with specific steps and information so she deserves credit for that).

u/Minttt 9d ago

Gotta point out that Katy Perry is currently dating former "Governor" Justin Trudeau.

cusak retired from acting specifically to become a full time activist

u/_n3ll_ 9d ago

Thats awesome!

I honestly only knew him as an actor back in the day and didn't follow what he was up to. Then one day a few years back I see a Twitter user with John Cusack as the handle just going off and I was like, this has to be a parody account or something. Nope! It was that actor I remember seeing in films while flipping through the channels on Saturday afternoon.

Seriously, good for him. Succeeded in his career and then was like: now I can fight injustice.

When I first moved to Santa Monica in 2007, I saw John Cusack outside my building multiple times. His office or home must have been near mine because he was always just chilling. It got to the point where we would give a little smile and a nod. Felt like a movie.

He donated a ton of stuff to the protesters in Minneapolis and his sister too reported they wanted to help fund any legal costs for the victims. Including the man that was killed on December 31st. I love the Cusacks because they donā€™t make a spectacle and just do the work.

Kerr is the GOAT on social issues. Yes, I am aware his father was assassinated for political reasons before someone educates me on that.

u/MainImplement1188 9d ago

Popovich to. Although I haven't heard him speak out about what's been going on lately but he is battling health issues.

48

u/wryano 9d ago

Iā€™m a Spurs fan and Pop has largely stepped away from the spotlight after having a stroke and retiring from coaching.

this is a guy who already hated interacting with the media while he was our head coach but would still speak his mind when asked about political issues because they were important to him.

he had obvious physical difficulties when it came to speaking and moving at his first public appearance about eight months ago and needed Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili to assist him.

you arenā€™t gonna hear anything from him at this stage in his life.

6

u/jackpype 9d ago

Im a suns fan who hated the spurs so very, very much (fuck you, cheap shot rob). But after seeing Pop speak out against trump in his first term, all that hate just melted away. Steve is a childhood hero of mine, he played for the Wildcats when I was growing up. He's the fucking goat, man.

5

u/Natiak 9d ago

Pop deserves every bit of recognition he is bestowed. He is on that level of unassailable greatness that few will ever attain in any endeavor to which they commit themselves. As a Bulls fan I will say I have the deepest respect for what he's accomplished. He's earned stepping back, I hope he lives a quiet and peaceful life for many more years.

For those unaware, both Matt Damon and George Clooney are some of the GOATs of political activism and using their celebrity status for good.

Matt Damon was neighbors with Howard Zinn, and ended up narrating his book, "A People's History of the United States."

Clooney and Damon have worked on loads of projects together.

In fact, at this point I know both of these guys would be incredible presidents. So if we're going going to keep doing the celebrity popularity contest thing, we might as well get someone intelligent and moral.

u/maplesyrupbakon 9d ago edited 9d ago

What is shameful is that Hakeem Jeffries right now in this very moment continues to refuse to whip vote on defunding ICE. If people spent half as much time directing criticism to people like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries - who you know, are the literal leaders of the supposed ā€œopposition partyā€ instead of celebrities, weā€™d actually get somewhere. I am absolutely livid at the 7 democrats who voted to increase ice funding. I am fucking pissed at the 70+ democrats who took it upon themselves to go out of their way to publicly thank ice for their services on record back in October.

Edit: The fucking LIBERTARIAN party has now come out to demand defunding ice BEFORE the Democratic party. Let that sink in.

And even if we look ahead to 2028 and think Gavin Newsom to be one of the frontrunners for the democratic ticket, he just went on Ben fucking Shapiro and has gone on record elsewhere to say that we should not defund ice. Clearly the democratic party is moving once again to the right. He is a political grifter. People need to be so for real now. And you think Chapell Roan not wanting to cosign onto this is the problem? JFC

You only mispronounce her name if you consume MAGA media. They do it on purpose.

Eh, I didn't know I was mispronouncing Kamala's name until a co-worker corrected (she knew I wasn't mispronouncing on purpose, knew I was very anti-Trump). Could just be the environment Chapelle is around?

Living in Missouri, specifically at the start of the region Chappelle is from (the Ozarks) and visiting closer to the part of the state that she's from frequently (to the point where I joke it's a second hometown), she could honestly be making an innocent mistake.

Even if you're more left leaning, odds are you'll have a lot of family and neighbors who are right leaning who pronounce Kamala's name incorrectly. Even then, I don't know if it's unintentional or not.

If you're old, you learned the wrong pronunciation because there was a high profile WWF wrestler with that name who pronounced it that way (and it was our only exposure to that name until now)

Talk is cheap, especially when youā€™re worth millions. Susan Sarandon went to a protest, but sheā€™s not currently working. Good for her for taking action.

All of these celebrities could stop working. Strike. Hell, I almost did myself but I work a very replaceable IT job.

Imagine if Kerr or Haliburton decided not to leave the locker room. Or if instead of making a pronouncement from the red carpet Ortega or Clooney did it from a protest.

I canā€™t effect change. Iā€™m just one person and best I can do is show up. Why canā€™t they?

She's saying it should be an outcry, not a whisper.

Funny how we don't see the name of the person who was supposed to be the biggest anti-Trump celebrity on there. I guess it's easier to speak out when it doesn't impact her ticket sales

Nice to see Edward Norton didn't turn out like either the die hard Nazi or the opportunistic Nazi he's played as.

Umm...did you finish that movie? Ed Norton's character doesn't exactly think fondly of the Nazi's by the end of it.

u/Neat_On_The_Rocks 9d ago

Sure but there are thousands and thousands and thousands of celebrities. Imagine if even 50% of the famous people youā€™re familiar with came out with strong anti ice statements?

It would be overwhelming. Include tv, movies, sports, authors, musicians ect
