The political left’s attempt to counter-program President Donald Trump’s UFC event on the White House lawn Sunday night ended in widespread online mockery as celebrities and media personalities who have publicly complained for a decade about President Donald Trump offered more of the same.
The event, called «Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First Amendment,» was hosted by far-left activist and actress Jane Fonda, nicknamed «Hanoi Jane,» and the Committee for the First Amendment in New York City. Participants spent three hours railing against Trump, recycling talking points about «fascism» and «authoritarianism» that have been repeatedly levied against the president since he first took office in 2016.
The event was streamed on numerous left-wing YouTube channels, and also aired on C-SPAN.

Bette Midler, an 80-year-old actress and activist, took center stage to perform her own rendition of Woody Guthrie’s «All You Fascists Bound to Lose,» backed by four other singers. She changed some of the lyrics to the song to make it anti-ICE themed.
PARTY POOPERS’ FIGHT CARD: JANE FONDA, ‘NO KINGS,’ COMMUNISTS ROLL OUT RIVAL SPECTACLE TO TRUMP’S 250TH
«All you fascists bound to lose,» the song began. «Lose, you fascists bound to lose.»
«We’ll battle ICE together, until they cut and run, just like in Minneapolis, and when the midterms come you’re bound to lose, you fascists bound to lose,» it continued.
The song also made reference to the Jeffrey Epstein files and claims that Republicans are «protecting pedophiles.»

«Shew! I just saw a bunch of literal fascists getting ready to take down the country, BUT LUCKILY, Bette Midler and her super powerful squad stopped them at the gate… lol,» one popular X user needled.
Another post criticized Midler as another one of the «dusty relics who peaked decades ago» who performed at the anti-Trump show.

«These people aren’t just out of touch. They’re clinically insane,» the post added.
Ex-MSNBC host Joe Reid used her platform at the event to blame the Trump administration for her own firing and the firings of other former television personalities.
«The threat is not coming, friends. It is here,» she warned. «Brendan Carr, the man who wrote the blueprint to dismantle the FCC and Project 2025 is now running it. He is weaponizing the agency to bully and control the press and suppress the wider televised media.»

Jim Acosta out at CNN. Karen Attiah fired from the Washington Post and me, more than a year ago,» she listed.
«All of us shown the door for just doing our jobs, standing up to the administration and in my case, also for speaking out against the genocide.»
Right-wing commentator Stephen Miller, not to be confused with the top Trump aide of the same name, didn’t take kindly to Reid’s comments.
«Nothing she says here is true but she has the right friends in media so they will all applaud. Joy Reid is a bat s— crazy conspiracy theorist who they all accept because of the right politics,» he said on X.

Actor Robert De Niro also took the stage over the weekend to say he couldn’t love America while it’s led by Trump, and compared supporters to those in an abusive relationship.
«I hate to say it, but loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser,» he said. «I can’t love a country that’s led by a racist, misogynist, xenophobic tyrant.»

Far-left House candidate ripped for ‘disgusting’ vote on misgendering bill: ‘Disqualifying’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Manny Rutinel, a far-left state legislator and House candidate in Colorado’s 8th Congressional District, voted in support of a bill that instructed courts to take pronoun use into consideration as a factor when deciding child custody cases.
In particular, the Kelly Loving Act required courts to deem «deadnaming» and «misgendering» as a kind of coercive control
«A court shall consider reports of coercive control when determining the allocation of parental responsibilities in accordance with the best interest of the child,» the bill initially read when Rutinel voted for it.

Rutinel’s past vote in favor of the package is drawing scrutiny as he wages a bid to unseat incumbent Rep. Gabe Evans, R-Colo., in one of the country’s most competitive congressional races, raising questions about his position on parental authority when it comes to issues like gender.
To at least one Republican strategist, the vote speaks for itself.
«Far-left liberal Manny Rutinel wants the government to take away your kids if you don’t adopt his radical transgender agenda. Disgusting and disqualifying. Rutinel will be resoundingly rejected by Coloradans this fall,» Zach Bannon, a spokesperson for the National Republican Congressional Committee, said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
Rutinel’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the bill or what led him to support it.
The Kelly Loving Act, named after a 40-year-old transgender woman who was one of the five victims in the 2022 Club Q mass shooting in Colorado Springs, deals largely with how the state plans to handle preferred pronouns.
It would allow residents to change the sex designation on official documents like birth certificates and state identification and, for schools that make policies about names, instruct education providers to include «all reasons» that a student might adopt a name different from their legal one.

The bill would also make it a «discriminatory practice» and unlawful to publish materials that misgender a person.
The bill passed out of the Colorado House of Representatives in a 40-24 vote.
At the time of its passage, the bill drew criticism from groups like the Colorado Parent Advocacy Network that filed lawsuits against the bill, citing First Amendment concerns.
«The Act’s new definition of ‘gender expression’ is unconstitutionally overbroad,» their lawsuit read.
«Because it covers any treatment based on the use of a ‘chosen name’ or other forms of preferred ‘address,’ it punishes many forms of constitutionally protected speech.»
Notably, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, like Rutinel, did not issue a statement at the time of its passage despite controversy that had made it a matter of national attention.
Although the bill passed both chambers of the Colorado State legislature and was signed into law in May 2025, some of the most controversial provisions, including misgendering, were stripped out weeks after Rutinel’s vote. A number of cases, including the one from Colorado Parent Advocacy Network, are still under consideration.

Abdulrazak Gurnah, escritor tanzano: “Hay mezquindad y avaricia en las naciones prósperas que dicen: no queremos a esta gente”
Pocas voces poseen la capacidad de Abdulrazak Gurnah para transformar el dolor del desarraigo en una radiografía geopolítica implacable. Cuando obtuvo el Premio Nobel de Literatura en 2021, el mundo occidental se vio obligado a mirar hacia una realidad que prefería mantener bajo la alfombra de la burocracia fronteriza. “Hay una especie de mezquindad y avaricia por parte de estas naciones prósperas que dicen: no queremos a esta gente”, dijo poco después en una entrevista con The New York Times.
La frase no fue un exabrupto; fue la destilación de una vida entera dedicada a observar cómo los imperios cierran sus puertas a las mismas vidas que previamente desarticularon. Para comprender el peso de estas palabras, es necesario viajar al territorio donde Gurnah mejor despliega sus herramientas: la ficción de su celebrada novela A orillas del mar. Publicada originalmente en 2001, es considerada por la crítica internacional como la obra más política, filosófica y madura del autor.
La trama sigue el cruce de dos vidas rotas: Saleh Omar, un comerciante de Zanzíbar de 65 años que llega al aeropuerto de Gatwick con un pasaporte falso y una caja de incienso, y Latif Mahmud, un poeta e intelectual de su misma tierra exiliado en Londres hace décadas. El libro posee una importancia fundacional en la literatura poscolonial porque invierte la mirada tradicional del viajero: aquí el territorio europeo no es un espacio de libertad o iluminación, sino un laberinto kafkiano de hostilidad.
En las primeras páginas de A orillas del mar, Saleh Omar describe los centros de detención británicos con una sobriedad asfixiante, donde la “amabilidad” no existe como un valor humano, sino como una transacción económica racionada por el Estado. Es precisamente en ese escenario de ficción donde la famosa frase del autor encuentra su genealogía. La “mezquindad” que Abdulrazak Gurnah denunció ante la prensa en 2021 es la misma que Saleh Omar experimenta en la novela veinte años antes.
No se trata únicamente de un rechazo físico en una frontera, sino de una avaricia moral: la negativa de las naciones ricas a compartir el bienestar económico y la seguridad que, paradójicamente, construyeron expoliando los recursos del hemisferio sur. La idea que transmite la frase resume de manera perfecta el corpus ideológico de su autor por tres razones fundamentales. La primera, la denuncia de la amnesia colonial: para el escritor, la s potencias occidentales padecen una pérdida de memoria selectiva.
En segundo lugar, el desmontaje del lenguaje burocrático: al utilizar palabras con tanta carga ética como “mezquindad” y “avaricia”, el Nobel le quita a la política migratoria su disfraz técnico. De este modo, no se trata de un problema de “capacidad de absorción” o de “cuotas migratorias”; se trata de una decisión moral de exclusión. Y en tercer lugar, la restitución de la complejidad humana: al refugiado le devuelve su historia, sus contradicciones, sus secretos y su dignidad frente al desprecio institucional.
El valor de la literatura de Abdulrazak Gurnah —y la razón por la cual su voz sigue siendo una referencia incómoda— radica en que sus textos no envejecen porque las fronteras reales del mundo continúan cerrándose con la misma violencia silenciosa. La potencia de sus palabras nos deja una advertencia filosófica: la verdadera decadencia de una sociedad próspera no se mide por la caída de sus mercados, sino por el tamaño de la mezquindad con la que protege sus privilegios frente al llamado de auxilio del otro.
Abdulrazak Gurnah nació en 1948 en Zanzíbar, una región semiautónoma de Tanzania que comprende un par de islas alejadas de la costa oriental de África. Es un reconocido escritor y académico afincado en el Reino Unido desde los 18 años, donde se exilió debido a la persecución política y desarrolló una carrera como profesor de literatura poscolonial en la Universidad de Kent. Galardonado con el Nobel de Literatura en 2021, su obra se centra en el impacto del colonialismo y la experiencia de los refugiados.
Su consagración literaria se construyó a través de una decena de ficciones imprescindibles, entre las que destacan Paraíso (1994), una obra fundamental nominada al Premio Booker que narra la pérdida de la inocencia en una África Oriental al borde de la colonización, y Precario silencio (1996), que explora el peso psicológico de un inmigrante que regresa a su tierra natal. A estas piezas se suman novela A orillas del mar (2001), de El desertor (2005), El último regalo (2011), y La vida, después.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is pressuring the U.S. and Europe to provide more missiles to help Ukraine defend against Russian attacks.
«Last night, Kyiv came under a massive Russian attack. Russia launched 68 missiles and 351 attack drones,» Zelenskyy noted in part of a Monday post on X.
President Donald Trump is slated to attend the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit in Ankara, Turkey, this week.
Zelenskyy is calling for the U.S. and European allies to emerge from the meeting «with strong decisions in support of» Ukraine’s «air defense.»

«Our warriors performed well today in intercepting drones and cruise missiles, but unfortunately not Russian ballistic missiles. And the reason lies in the insufficient supply of interceptor missiles. It is critically important that the world – first and foremost the United States and our European partners – come out of the NATO Summit in Ankara with strong decisions in support of our air defense, and thus the protection of ordinary people’s lives,» he noted in the post.

«As long as Patriot missiles remain in our allies’ stockpiles, Russia is only encouraged to keep ‘vanquishing’ residential buildings. The United States and Europe have enough strength to stop this terror,» he asserted.
Zelenskyy’s comments come amid the ongoing, years-long war between Russia and Ukraine.
