      The entire attack on Harvard by the President is an attempt to “delegitimize” the entire process of going and graduating to his base. So the MAGA crowd can actually pretend it’s bad that he went to “that school”.

      From Wikipedia:

      Morello’s father participated in the Mau Mau Uprising (1952–1960) and was Kenya’s first ambassador to the United Nations.[12] Morello’s paternal great-uncle, Jomo Kenyatta, was the first elected president of Kenya.[12] His aunt, Jemimah Gecaga, was the first woman to serve in the legislature of Kenya; and his uncle Njoroge Mungai was a Kenyan Cabinet Minister, Member of Parliament, and was considered one of the founding fathers of modern Kenya.

      Same with people complaining that Star Wars or Star Trek is too woke or too liberal. When was it ever not?

      People turn fascist only to discover that that’s exactly what all their favourite art always opposed.

        I couldn’t find a good version of Street Sweepers when Trent Reznor was performing with them, but there’s some really shitty decade old cell phone footage out there lol.

        Boots is the fucking truth tho, the female vocalist from that video (Pam the funktress) knew Tupac from before he was famous, and Tupac latched onto Boots and cited him as a political influence.

        He’s been around forever, but most people these days know him from the movies and TV shows he writes/directs/produces:

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc70iFCaKho

        He’s basically a real life Huey Freeman

      This seems like an incoherent premise. Neither artist ever supported Trump, and Morello has been outspoken against Trump for like a decade. How do you figure they will whine about them any more effectively now?
