Celebrities wear pins protesting ICE on the Golden Globes red carpet

Source: Independent

Some celebrities donned anti-ICE pins at the Golden Globes on Sunday in tribute to Renee Good, who was shot and killed in her car by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer this week in Minneapolis.

The black-and-white pins displayed slogans like “BE GOOD” and “ICE OUT,” introducing a political angle into the awards show after last year’s relatively apolitical ceremony.

Mark Ruffalo wore one such pin on the red carpet, and other celebrities were expected to have them on display as well.

“We need every part of civil society, society to speak up,” said Nelini Stamp of Working Families Power, one of the organizers for the anti-ICE pins. “We need our artists. We need our entertainers. We need the folks who reflect society.”

The right learns from history. Maybe moreso than our side, which is why they are winning.

that would satisfy your obviously oh-so-discriminating high standards for civic engagement?

When they start giving out the awards - after 8 p.m. EST - I'll be interested to see if anyone does any political grandstanding. There might be a little, but I think it will be kept to a minimum.

The political references used to be more common, but the broadcasters aren't going to tolerate much these days.
