You are telling her that it is wrong for her to not risk her life and the lives of her family. That's not hyperbole, that's what it means for a famous person to speak up. We don't have the right to insist on that from someone like her. She can choose to do it. She has done it today, she has done it in the past and she may well do it again when she gets home, but she absolutely has the right not to.

Its what it means for everyone. 

She can choose to stay silent. She can choose to stay back and let others die for her.

Everyone has the right to let others be oppressed and stay silent. Everyone equally can judge that decision.

But ultimately when ICE was in her state, in her city. She didn’t say anything. She could have shared helplines. She could have helped spread the information about which neighbourhood ICE was targeting so people could leave/hide/avoid it. None of this put her directly in harms path. 

She did nothing.

Yea but I trust the UK to be smart enough to not vote for them, they’re probably not gonna get in without a coalition with the Tories and I doubt the tories will not be like Labour based on the fact they want to just be different than them because they’re already under fire for being basically full of former tories, Nigel Farage is absolutely a laughing stock to the average person- the same as how we see Trump as a laughing stock. 
 

Im not saying we don’t have issues ofc we do, but we don’t have ICE in this country so the point still stands.

They have voted for them. Repeatedly in the last 18 months. They're making significant gains. They run multiple counties. 

They're joint favourites to win the Welsh elections in May. 

All polling points to them gaining an outright majority in a general election.

Trump was a laughing stock. He won. 

Nigel was a laughing stock. He's now in parliament.

And we do have ICE in this country.

We have border control detaining people beyond legal limits.

We have border control attempting to house asylum seekers in legionella infested accommodation. 

We have 100s of young children missing who were under border control's care - a key evidence factor of state facilitated trafficking.

We'll have to agree to differ. I've read the list of things ypu do or have done. Your opinion carries some weight with me.

Exactly! Community care used to be central to Gaga’s public identity! her very explicit “we take care of each other”

A lot of fans unfortunately forget that she she was very pro active and she did scream at Obama. I guess they wernt around for it

Ok, Keep laughing and being in denial that her community has been vocal all over her platforms for the past two weeks.

but where? It was either crickets or another hauslabs products in between her break from music

Does she need an award show to spell out a jargon again? Cos that's the most she is doing lately

perhaps you are right, she's lady capitalism now

Queen. I’ve always been so proud of Gaga’s activism. I’ve never forgotten one of the quotes from Transmission Gagavision #41 that states “If you have revolutionary potential, then you have a moral imperative to make the world a better place.” That has always stuck with me.

Share the story then. Because it’s hard to believe no one else saw it when everything gets posted here in .02 seconds

Are you serious?

It's called lending their huge platform for more visibility. A cause will need huge visibility to build widespread awareness, secure crucial funding, and drive, mobilize action for social, political, or cultural change. High visibility transforms a niche issue into a mainstream priority, attracting volunteers, donations, and media attention necessary to sustain momentum and legitimacy.

One doesn't need to wait for that. Ariana showing it how easy it is. A little post on tiktok or instagram is enough. Sure, Gaga will be very welcome to do more after that. But in urgency, waiting is not really the option; people are actually dying and displaced out there, Kim!

Pretty much !!!! Unsure why she keeps reading from a speech too

She's in front of 50 thousand people maybe that's why 

She is human too. She can't always be superwoman

Huh? She shared the photo Daniel shared of her in Japan and said how everyone there is kind to her and she likes visiting. It's black and white she's at the dinner table.
