ICE arrests have broken innocent families apart, and in most cases, those being deported have no criminal record (or are actual American citizens).

Lilith Czar Unleashes Defiant New Single and Visualizer “POPSICLE”

Marking her first solo release in several years, Lilith Czar returns with a vengeance on her explosive new track, “POPSICLE.” From the first brutal lines—“You two-faced son of a bitch/You fucking make me sick”—Czar leaves no room for misinterpretation. She tears through her frustrations before crashing into the snarling chorus: “Easy rocking bomb pop/Gonna make your heart stop.” In her own words, Czar describes “POPSICLE” as “The breaking point—the moment you stop shrinking, softening, and reshaping yourself into something that isn’t you just to fit someone else’s agenda. It’s a song for every person who’s been told their worth depends… Read more »

The All-American Rejects’ Tyson Ritter Defends Chappell Roan

It’s been a whirlwind week for The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess artist Chappell Roan. The artist took to TikTok this week to explain why she’s not endorsing a candidate for the 2024 election but will be voting for Kamala Harris. Obviously, this caused lots of online discourse, some in bad faith. Though, this is not the only “controversy” she’s recently encountered. In August, the singer took to social media to discuss boundaries with fans and “fans.” She said, “I don’t care that abuse and harassment, stalking, whatever, is a normal thing to do to people who are… Read more »
