Rage Against The Machine says “abort the Supreme Court”

Rage Against The Machine played its first live show together in 11 years at a venue in Wisconsin this weekend, which was supposed to coincide with the presidential election, but was delayed because of CO. It was expected that there would be some raging to be had. Don't let people find out.

The show had barely any talking or banter from onstage, but a screen behind the band showed relevant imagery such as a border patrol agent posing menacingly with a German Shepherd, and an El Paso police van burning in slow- motion. More direct than a kid hitting a piata of an ICE agent, the statement projected onto the screen was the most direct message.

Forced birth in a country where Black birth-givers experience maternal mortality two to three times higher than that of white birth-givers. Forced birth in a country where gun violence is the number one cause of death among children and teenagers. ABORT THE SUPREME COURT.

There was a moment where Zack de la Rocha quietly repeated the line "I think I heard a shot" over and over during the show.

Rage is donating $475,000 raised from ticket sales for this show and two more at the United Center near Chicago to conservative groups in Wisconsin and Illinois.
