In their first show in eleven years, alternative rock band Rage Against the Machine used their set to channel their frustration over the Supreme Court’s ruling last month to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Performing at Wisconsin’s Alpine Valley Music Theatre on Saturday, the band had numerous captions appear on a screen on stage that called out the decision to overturn Roe, citing certain circumstances and issues that pertain to the matter, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
“Forced birth in a country that is the only wealthy country in the world without any guaranteed paid parental leave at the national level,” one caption read.
“Forced birth in a country where Black birth-givers experience maternal mortality two to three times higher than that of white birth-givers,” another caption read as lead singer Zack de La Rocha screams “freedom” repeatedly. “Forced birth in a country where gun violence is the number one cause of death among children and teenagers,” another caption read.
As the sequence ended, a bold caption that read “ABORT THE SUPREME COURT” appeared on the screen.
The band, whose last studio album was released in 2000, joins a growing list of celebrities and artists who have shared their disapproval over the Supreme Court ruling to overturn the landmark abortion rights decision.
During his band’s performance in London last month, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong announced that he plans to renounce his U.S citizenship due to the overturn of Roe, saying “there’s just too much ******* stupid in the world to go back to that miserable ******* excuse for a country.”
Last month, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the constitutional right to an abortion. As a result of the ruling, multiple GOP-led states have either implemented or enacted their own abortion bans and restrictions.
President Biden on Friday signed an executive order that is intended to protect abortion and contraception access in the country.
Just don’t have sex, then.
Thats what men are told by women.
Just keep the legs closed ladies. If you cant be responsible enough to use any of at least 8 birth control methods easily available to you, just pull out one of the many pleasure toys you have offered for sale all over the place for you, or just run it under the bathtub spout.
I'm waiting for the sports folks to chime in. Should be special.
Looks like Rage Against the Machine is unaware that it has been assimilated—Borg-style—by the machine (the Deep State and its Woke rebellion).
Their real name is more like Rage for the Machine. They’re all about supporting the establishment. In truth, they’re good little capitalists.
They can have this in the People’s Republic, after The Split.
H/T Kurt Schlichter.
They always sucked.. only one song with different lyrics
“gun violence is the number one cause of death among children and teenagers,” -— If that is true, it is mostly due to gangbangers shooting other gangbangers, isn’t it?
They’ve always been a bunch of doper Marxists. No suprise there.

Ah good, the trust fund revolutionaries are back.

Gee, I wonder 🤔 Who will have the last laugh ...
Psalm 2:4-5
King James Version
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
Rage Against the Machine, eh?
Change the channel Marge!
Sounds like these meatballs are looking for a single party, single branch government. You know, like communist countries have. One group of fascist pigs running the whole show.
They’re more like communists. It’s funny to see them raking in all that money while screaming against capitalism.
Musically, they’re talented. However, the singer is terrible and lyrically they’re a joke.
They’re just LARPers. They mouth the words but at heart, they’re good little capitalists. They never hesitate for one second to enjoy the fruits of capitalism that their carping for socialism brings them....kinda like millionaire arch capitalist Bernie Sanders and his three houses.
Rage Against the Machine rages FOR the machine. Oh the irony.
I'm guessing that the real # 1 cause of death among children is abortion.
“Abort the Supreme Court” sounds like they are calling for assassinations.
