Billie Eilish during her #GRAMMYs speech for Song of the Year: “As grateful as I feel, I don’t need to say anything except that, no one is illegal on stolen land. It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, I feel hopeful in this room and we need to keep protesting… fuck ICE.”

I would have loved for the cameras to have shown Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s face during all the ICE/Trump-related comments during the show.

No one is calling for “open borders”. And the only reason why “far right movements” rise in reaction to immigration is because the far right are primarily composed of racists, who resent anyone not like them.

Brian Ragle
@vagabondvisions.bsky.social

No, it’s not. An open border means there is no documentation of entry at all. And since undocumented PRESENCE in the US is already not a crime, the issue is removing the misdemeanor criminal charge for unauthorized entry. Make immigration humane instead of this cage match Stanford Experiment.

It's an uninformed Stupid comment. What led us to where we are today. DC Dems need to get their shit/ messaging together so that we are all united, stupid comments like this hurt, not help immigrants.

I love that her big brother is always with her, I used to think it was creepy but that is just American brainwashing bc American men are generally malicious and it's so rare to see a man actually loving and protecting and not exploiting a woman.

I know what to say and I know what to do right now Billie. Defend America against criminal racist thugs assaulting innocent citizens with taxpayer money. THAT is what you say. DEFEND, DEFUND and STRIKE. No CASH for CRIMINALS!

In God’s eyes, no one is illegal, however, on earth and in history, civilized nations maintain a structure with rules and/or laws that need to be either followed or changed. Some humans break laws…Bad laws need to be changed. That does not mean one needs to give up caring and love. 🕊️🇺🇸🎶

False Prophets
@falseprophets.bsky.social

She is absolutely correct!! ✊🏼 All land on the entire planet was stolen from nomadic tribes. As civilization evolved and formed nation states with laws to protect life and property, those who choose to ignore those laws are illegal. Wait, wait, what? 🤔

The running of the country should naturally be given (back) to the original inhabitants. That is the responsibility.

@magna-opossum.bsky.social

Remember when America was founded with 13 colonies? And then Westward expansion happened?? If we cut out that second part maybe we could’ve at least given the natives their lives back in some capacity but nooooo we needed to kick them off their land and make really shitty “reserves.”

We are all Treaty people our ancestors made agreements to share and co-manage our resources. When the Wasichus failed to honour their word they lost an opportunity to learn from us. First Nations people NEVER thought the world is flat.

josemorfin.bsky.social
@josemorfin.bsky.social

When those commitments were broken, it wasn’t just land that was taken, but the chance to build something wiser together. The question that keeps echoing for me is: what would accountability and repair actually look like today if we took treaty relationships seriously again?

And we need to stop whitewashing (literally) US history. More than a third of the US was once Spain. The oldest city in the US was founded by Hispanics. They were here long before that silly Pilgrim story everyone is taught in school. Get over it.

@davidjohnurban.bsky.social

Isn't this the kind of editing that Trump sues for and the media execs gladly cave and pay up to Trump? State media, no different than Soviet days when we looked down on them.

josemorfin.bsky.social
@josemorfin.bsky.social

I get the concern about media trust, editing DOES matter. But there’s also a difference between selective clips and silencing uncomfortable speech. The bigger question is Who decides what’s “acceptable” to hear, and what happens when that power keeps shifting?

Ha ha. Stolen land. Did she really say that!? LoL. By comparison then, all land of every continent is stolen land. Let us consider that the Feds/banks can seize land for non-payment of taxes, and thus sell it to another buyer that pays taxes. That's government for ya! Embrace Anarchy, Billie!

Luke
@luke-wa.bsky.social

Sorry this is like Australia calling Australia Day, Invasion Day. I don't believe feeling like the land you've grown up in for centuries is stolen helps anyone. Move the conversation back to everyone being human and deserving basic human decency, and treatment. ICE can go die in a fire.

Lizi Patch
@lizipatch.bsky.social

There was probably a good reason for that behind the scenes. Easy to blame the public faces (actors) but the organisers/agents/sponsors may have laid down the conditions of acceptance. We don’t know.

@bosanka.bsky.social

I don't really care. If they don't speak out now, when? They had millions of people watching, a perfect opportunity. People are getting killed and deported. This is not a drill.

@artsyfartsy47.bsky.social

I’m in solidarity with each artist that spoke out in any way against the fascist trump regime’s brutality of our families, friends, neighbors, children, and Bad Bunny for speaking in Spanish, however, EVERYONE needed to SAY: ICE OUT, IMPEACH TRUMP.

Clarification needs to be established: That undocumented entry into the U.S. is NOT a "CRIMINAL" activity. Crime involves: • harm to an individual • taking or damaging of property | Trump's attempt to assign "criminal" to ANY dark-skinned individual is NOT the intent of the U.S. legal system.

Pay attention to those speaking up and repeatedly. We know who’s performative and who means it. Support the artists who mean it. Also Kehlani 🔥🔥🔥 amazing artist who used her voice tonight and always does. Billie as well.

@josemorfin.bsky.social

That moment felt raw and human, gratitude mixed with urgency, hope mixed with anger. You don’t have to agree with every word to feel the fear and compassion behind it. The real question is: how do we turn that emotion into action that actually protects people without hardening the divide even more?

josemorfin.bsky.social
@josemorfin.bsky.social

I hear what you’re saying and that recognition *DOES feel like a line you can’t unsee once it’s crossed. But if the divide is permanent, what does accountability or protection actually look like for people caught on the wrong side of power without giving up on our shared humanity entirely?

rationalpear.bsky.social
@rationalpear.bsky.social

fyi. the entire world is stolen land. humans have been stealing from other humans with each new human species leaving africa. sorry. but the very idea of stealing land makes no sense in the broad sweep of history. modern human have no idea of the time the species of humans have existed.

Nandor
@nandortheelf.bsky.social

That doesn´t change anything though. No one is illigal on stolen land. Admitting the entire earth consists of nothing but stolen land just means you state no one is illegal, pediod. Which is fully correct 👍

kevinlikesthings
@kevinlikesthings.bsky.social

Kevin thinks it is pretty simple. The first humans to arrive in the Americas were the native aboriginals' ancestors. The Europeans arrived later and slaughtered the native population and settled on their land over centuries. Effectively stealing it from the native population.

rationalpear.bsky.social
@rationalpear.bsky.social

100% of europe was stolen from the Neanderthal. and did all east asians steal from the dosivans ? who stole from homo erectus? south asians? whose land did the apache steal? it’s all places ppl that are alive live. stop making it complicated. ppl move. violence follows. we’ve no special duty.

natdusz.bsky.social
@natdusz.bsky.social

How do you know? Perhaps they lived together in harmony. We all have neanderthal DNA. Nobody can know if that was consentual. Stop making up things and realize if we don't acknowledge the wrong it's bound to repeat.

No one is illegal on stolen land or ALL of us interlopers are illegal & we are a country of immigrants or we are nothing. It has been thus since day one. The people we stole the land from are limited by us on every level & today's immigrants are unwelcome. SUPPORT NATIVE AMERICAN WATER RIGHTS

@tiredrevenant.bsky.social

Frankly, if you've got any fan base in times like these, and you aren't saying something, then it's easy to see what side you're on. People like Taylor Swift, et al should absolutely be using their platforms to fight tyranny and corruption. Many of their fans are being hurt and/or hunted by ICE.
