BREAKING: Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello just BURIED Trump’s Freedom 250 concerts under an avalanche of rock legends.

Donald Trump's Great American State Fair — his big musical celebration of America's 250th birthday — features Vanilla Ice, a version of Milli Vanilli whose original member died in 1998, and Bret Michaels of Poison. Artists have been fleeing it since the day it was announced.

Tom Morello just answered with the Foo Fighters, Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews, Joan Baez, Cypress Hill, Killer Mike, Dropkick Murphys, Jack Black, System of a Down's Serj Tankian, Alabama Shakes' Brittany Howard, Run-DMC's Darryl McDaniels, and Soundgarden/Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron.

The contrast could not be more devastating.

Morello's Power to the People Festival will take place on October 3rd at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland — exactly one month before the midterm elections — with any of a dozen acts on the bill capable of selling out the venue by themselves. Springsteen, who just finished his protest-heavy Land of Hope and Dreams Tour under FBI protection due to death threats from Trump supporters, announced the festival from the stage at Nationals Park on the tour's closing night.

The festival will include a "Freedom Village" — an immersive space for civic engagement, grassroots organizing, mutual aid, and social impact initiatives. A portion of ticket proceeds, and 100 percent of VIP ticket sales, go directly to pro-democracy organizations VoteRiders and HeadCount.

Trump's concert was paid for by Boeing, Shell, Toyota, and Royal Caribbean — companies regulated by his own cabinet. Morello's festival is funding voter registration.
Trump's lineup includes an act whose original member died in 1998, a rapper whose last hit was in 1990, and a Celebrity Apprentice winner. Morello's lineup includes living legends who are actively touring, recording, and selling out arenas worldwide.

Young MC fled Trump's concert because nobody told him it was political. C+C Music Factory's frontman stayed while saying on camera that he doesn't "f--- with Trump." Morris Day simply posted, "It's a no from me."

Meanwhile, Springsteen announced his participation in the Power to the People event from a sold-out stadium in Washington DC during his “Land Of Hope & Dreams” tour.

This is what the resistance sounds like. And it sounds a whole lot better than "Ice Ice Baby."

Tickets for the Power to the People Festival go on sale on May 30 at 10AM ET, but you can sign up for pre-sale access on May 29 at 10AM ET via sign-up on the Power to the People website.

"Hurt" is not an original by Johnny Cash. The song was written by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) in 1994 for the album The Downward Spiral. Rick Rubin had to insist several times on Cash recording his version, at first Johnny found the idea completely insane because the original version is industrial and noisy. At 71, already very ill, almost blind and with trembling hands, Cash completely transformed the band.

The iconic video, directed by Mark Romanek, was filmed at the House of Cash (his own museum). June Carter Cash appears looking at him fondly, the video was shot in February 2003, a few months before she died (May) and Johnny himself (September).

Trent Reznor was so moved that he declared, "This song is not mine anymore." It is considered one of the best covers of all time.

The best thing you can do for fallen soldiers on Memorial Day is to stop voting for politicians who make more of them.

In about one hour, I will be arraigned on 4 felony counts and face up to 30 years in prison for taking this little guy out of a Ridglan cage.

In addition to charging me, the government has banned me from contacting my co-defendants and is now trying to undermine my right to a speedy trial.

But every corrupt and unconstitutional act by the government will simply make our case even stronger. We press forward to defend the right to rescue—and to defend the tens of thousands of other dogs (and billions of other animals) who remain trapped in cruel cages.

Most importantly, we defend James. Every time I come home, he jumps in my lap and begs to be picked up. It was the first place he ever felt safe. Rescuing him was not a crime. It was one of the best things I've ever done. I relish the opportunity to defend rescuing James in court.

Homeless people are using dogs to test drugs for them on Skid Row in Los Angeles, California.

Non-profit group Starts With One Today says dogs are being abused, thrown away, sold for drugs, neglected, and fed drugs to make sure there is no fentanyl.

Animal advocates are ripping Mayor Karen Bass and other elected officials for not taking enough action.

“We’re coming out here, risking our lives to help these dogs with no support from the government,” said volunteer Joey Tuccio.

NEW:

RFK’s team told White Coat Waste to SHUT UP when we asked them to defund Fauci’s tests on Ridglan beagles, and renewed them instead.

Our Senior VP just exposed how @SecKennedy @NIHDirector_Jay & NIH Deputy Nicole Kleinstreuer could have shut down funding for Ridglan’s beagle torture over a year ago.

As Fox News is now reporting, instead of defunding the labs, the @NIH renewed and extended the Fauci-era funding, gave millions to new grants that abuse Ridglan beagles, and told us to SHUT UP.

“White Coat Waste…has been actively pressing the Trump administration on the beagles testing, claiming "RFK literally lied to Congress about" continued to fund animal testing, according to WCWP Senior Vice President @JustinRGoodman”

"In truth, they doled out over $126 million in new funding to dog and cat labs since RFK took office," Goodman wrote on X. "Since day one of RFK‘s tenure, he has had the authority to cut funding for these grants overnight. He has even admitted this. But instead, he has kept them alive.”

Our Senior VP Justin Goodman posted on X yesterday:

“Starting over a year ago, at their request, we provided Kennedy and Bhattacharya’s teams with info on taxpayer funded grants paying for cat and dog testing, including Fauci-approved experiments on Ridglan beagles.

“We also connected them with a sanctuary that was willing to rehabilitate and rehome all of the animals.”

He also dropped this bombshell, which Fox covered:

"Senior NIH and HHS officials reached out to us and told us to shut up, and even abused their authority (and federal ethics rules) by reaching out to our board and urging them to disavow us for criticizing the agency’s continued funding for dog and cat testing.

"We have a long list of receipts proving all of this."

This is why we’re running billboards nationwide right now with the message: WTF RFK?

Destroying the @InternetArchive's @WayBackMachine would be the equivalent of the burning of the Library of Alexandria - one of the worst losses of knowledge in history.

Media giants are now threatening to do this.

We can't let this happen.

Pass it on.

Very, very sad to report that Hayam El Gamal, mother of 5 kids detained at Dilley for 10+ months, has suffered a serious medical emergency due to systematic denial of medical attention by ICE.

We can now share the following:

For many weeks Ms. El Gamal has been concerned about a growth on her chest that has caused pain for many weeks. She has made complaints to Dilley staff and ICE repeatedly but has been denied a visit to an outside doctor. She had specifically made requests for a CT scan to identify the lump and the source of her pain.

On Thursday April 8, a doctor at Dilley told her that he had put in a request for a CT scan but "higher ups" in either ICE or CoreCivic overrode his request, and so no scan was conducted. Medical records show she had been demanding help since February, at which time she said her pain had been already worsening for 8 weeks. A doctor at Dilley said the lump in her chest was merely a bone.

Mid-morning on Friday April 9, Ms. El Gamal began experiencing excruciating pain which she rated an 11 out of 10. She described the pain as being stabbed through the back to the stomach. At about 11 AM central time she began pleading with officials for painkillers and medical attention. After two hours of asking for help (at around 1 PM central time) she was taken to an off-site emergency room. While there she received lab work and, finally, a CT scan. The CT scan confirmed that the lump was not a bone, but it did not reveal what the lump was.

The scan also showed she has "fluid around the heart." The ER doctor recommended an ultrasound to determine what was causing the pain, but this was denied. Ms. El Gamal was told she had to go back to Dilley and was not given the ultrasound. We do not know if the lump is cancerous, all we know is that the pain is increasing, the incidents are becoming worse and worse, and she is not receiving proper diagnosis that could lead to proper treatment.

After 10 months in detention, Ms. El Gamal remains in pain. We are concerned that the systematic denial of medical attention may result in her death. Her children are extremely worried about their mother, who is now their only guardian. Her five year old child has been denied the right to go to a dentist for 13 cavities. Her 16 year old son was told to take tylenol when he suffered from acute appendicitis. All of the children are suffering from depression.

Please join us in demanding the El Gamal's immediate release so that she can acquire the urgent medical attention she desperately needs. This family has suffered enough.

‘We can’t invest in America because we’re fighting wars’ is literally the opposite of what he ran on.

Biggest scam in modern political history, hands down.

🚨 NIH just quietly gave $718,805 to induce heart failure in puppies... and then CUT OUT THEIR HEARTS while still alive.

I am in shock. This is absolutely brutal.

On February 23, shortly after @SecKennedy promised to end animal testing, @NIHDirector_Jay directed your taxpayer dollars to inhumanely k*ll hundreds of puppies at University of Utah.

The grant was found and exposed by @WhiteCoatWaste, the same organization that partnered with Kennedy to expose the original Fauci experiments on beagles.

Secretary Kennedy: MAHA was promised an END to Fauci-era cruelty.

Please keep your word and END these programs once and for all!

Tag @SecKennedy, tag @NIHDirector_Jay.

Use AI. Use p*dophiles. LEAVE THE PUPPIES ALONE.

An Iranian man left this comment on my YouTube channel. This is without a doubt the single best explanation of the reality facing Iranian people today👇

"As an Iranian, I can tell you the situation is no longer just political—it's existential. We are trapped between two collapsing structures: one internal, one external. On one hand, we face a deeply dysfunctional government, led by the Supreme Leader and the Islamic Republic’s unelected institutions.

Decades of economic mismanagement, suppression of dissent, and brutal ideological control have alienated multiple generations. No one believes in reform anymore—because every attempt has either been co-opted or crushed. But here's the paradox: We are also terrified of regime collapse—because we've watched the aftermath of Western intervention in countries like Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan. Each was promised freedom; each descended into chaos, civil war, or foreign occupation.

So no, we don't trust the U.S. or Israel. Not because we support our regime—but because we know how imperial powers treat ‘liberated’ nations in the Middle East.

Freedom, in their language, often means vacuum, fire, and permanent instability. Right now, many Iranians live with three truths at once: The Islamic Republic is morally and politically bankrupt. The alternatives offered by foreign actors are not liberation—they’re collapse.

A bad government is survivable. No government is not. We are not silent because we agree. We are cautious because we’ve learned—too well—what happens when superpowers decide to "help." In a sentence: Iran is a nation held hostage by its own regime, but haunted by the fate of its neighbors. We are stuck in a house we hate, surrounded by fires we fear more."
