Tom Morello promotes new album and Power to the People festival
Jack Smith….man of the people at the Power to the People concert hanging out on the lawn….no fancy pavilion seats or backstage laminate pass
Carefully holding his $15 beer in a fragile cup. Man knows the struggles of the common people.
HE IS THE PUBLIC SERVANT WE DESERVE AND THE PUBLIC SERVANT WE NEED
was it a hawks concert?
No bigger hero than Jack.
Just said a quick “I love you, may I take a pic”
I love this guy's courage, decency, honor, patriotism!
Eric Schmitt is gonna accuse him of meeting up with Fani Willis at a Foster the People show
Mr Smith, is it true that on October 3rd you attended a Greta Van Fleet concert?
senator schmitt: "were you are were you not at the power station concert in atlanta on oct 3rd?" jack smith:
I found out next president
Love this 👇man!! May he be our next AG or Head of the FBI. Boy, would we see some heads spin... right off their necks...
It's interesting to me how many politicians and leaders who put on a folksy, everyman veneer are terrified by unscripted interactions with ordinary people, while many elite Ivy-educated technocrats mingle unafraid. Also, great T-shirt, Jack 👍
He'd be such a great AG in the next administration.
Power to the People Music concert..Joan Biaz, Jack Black,Bruce Springsteen, Tom Morello,Foo Fighters,Dave Mathews,Dave Grohl and tons of others promoting Voter registration and take back our country!
And Jack Smith was in the crowd, drinking a beer, wearing a “No Kings” shirt. Dave Grohl wore an Iowa Hawkeyes shirt.
Joan Baez has been a voice for peace and justice as long as I can remember!
It was wonderful. I watched the entire thing I really needed it and they brought it and Tom Morello is engenius. Of course they’re all geniuses, but it was wonderful. 
Best time ever! Bruuuce! Loved all the artists. Bruce, Foo Fighters, Tom are all bucket list concerts and they delivered. The Linda Linda's and Neighbor Kids I was less familiar with. Great artists! Public Enemy and RunDMc? They brought us the rap revolution. Rap and rock were made for each other!
My current favorite t-shirt from Morello.
My husband reminded me that tom morello didn’t vote for Kamala…maybe he should’ve. Just a thought 🤔
WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE POWER, NEVER FORGET THAT
If we can be saved—from Trumpists, ego-maniacal billionaires, and unregulated, unfettered AI—our savior will be the Arts.
How do you have that yellow-bellied coward Jack Black there, as not the get-out-the-vote GOAT, by which of course I mean the New York Gay Men's Choir? "We're gonna vote vote vote it's our moment..."
Crazy that Joan Baez is EIGHTY FIVE and still ten toes down.
Well of course Joan Biaz was there, she was there in the beginning! #PowerToThePeople
“This Land is Your Land” ~ Bruce Springsteen, Dave Grohl, Dave Matthews, Tom Morello and others / Power to the People concert
Almost every artist of the day was on stage for the finale And 20,000 attendees sang along
I have no cable, so I was EXTREMELY grateful to @msnowcomms.bsky.social for putting that on YT yesterday...there were times I broke into tears..DropKickMurphy & Springsteen et al were fantastic too.. Being able to watch that whole thing gave me HOPE & made me feel less afraid. It was FANTASTIC!
The perfect song. Always gives me the feels. Woody Guthrie knew. Time to revive it and teach our kids why he wrote it. What it means.
Love this. Power to the people concert together with demonstrations should wake everyone up.
Such a shame that the whole country is based on Genocide of Indigenous peoples & stealing Land from Mexico .
With Jack Smith attending 👍
I’ll never forget singing “This Land is Your Land” on Central Park West the night before Trump took office in 2017 (then crying as Natalie Merchant sang “Motherland”)… and we had no idea how bad it would get.
Usually when live performing Don’t Drink the Water (a song about the genocide of indigenous people in America), Dave Matthews does a very cynical chorus of This Land is Your Land before the finish, so this antithesis to that is kinda cool
I streamed the entire concert. It was AMAZING #PowerToThePeople @tommorelloofficial.bsky.social put together a truly remarkable event
“Nobody living can ever stop me, As I go walking that freedom highway; Nobody living can ever make me turn back This land was made for you and me” -Woody Guthrie
A-FREAKING-MEN !! This land was made for you me baby 
Woody would be so proud.
In the age of authoritarianism in America...this gave me hope. We can crush the oligarchs together!
❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 We are taking our country back!!!! bsky.app/profile/chri...
This is why This Land is Your Land should be our national anthem. No glory for war, or a flag, or a particular notion of a god. Just the joy in celebrating the people and the land.

“There’s a genocide happening in Gaza… none of us are free til all of us are free… there’s no one coming to save us except us…” Cypress Hill & Tom Morello put a message from @macklemore on the screen — and joke they kicked Ed Sheeran off the bill. (From @jolly_good_ginger)
Also Macklemore. “To all of my Jewish brothers and sisters: criticism of Israel, criticism of apartheid, being against genocide in no way is a criticism of you. My message is for peace; love for all human beings to be treated with dignity, respect, and equality
I love that Kraft bumbled his way into turning Macklemore’s message from a couple of sentences at a concert into a nationwide movement.
There's one happening in Ukraine too.
There is a GENOCIDE happening in the USA too Trump and his ICE Gestapo are Committing GENOCIDE
Such a great concert! Watched all day and night on You Tube. 💙
I didn't know that Ed Sheehan attacked Gaza. We need to start blaming the responsible parties (trump and Netanyahu). Instead, we are lashing out at the people around us. Just what the dictator's playbook calls for. Divide and conquer.
“We’re going to work together, we’re going to fight together and we’re to win together in November!” IUPAT President @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social joined the @dropkickmurphys.com on stage at the Power to the People Festival to talk about the power of our solidarity. America’s unions are in this fight ✊
Oligarchs hate when we organize, that's why we must do it like never before.
Union strong. Between my hubby and I, 5 unions representing us our whole adult lives. I'm still a proud working Teamster in my retirement side hustle
Kudos to @dropkickmurphys.com, and solidarity always, but why has @aflcio.org endorsed the Republican in Bucks County? Fitzpatrick voted with Republicans 88% of the time! This is a cynical endorsement.
Too bad all the stupid white union people are maga so not expecting much from unions.
The discourse around Tom Morello, a California voter, leaving President blank in 2024 is wild. There’s a massive freakout yesterday accusing him of supporting Trump, while at the exact same time he’s hosting an explicitly anti-Trump music fest with Jack Smith & the Bullwark lady in the crowd. Lol.
The electoral college is anti-Democratic by design. It’s not the fault of people—who live in states like California— who recognize that for refusing to participate when there’s zero actual risk of the GOP pulling off the upset there.
just people looking to the worst internet points. I didn't even see this here.
what the fuck, how does anyone call the rage against the machine guy pro trump and not like combust
It is incomprehensible to some that a person may have morals they do not betray. And also its fuckin cali, it made no difference what-so-ever.
I respect him leaving it blank alot more than the fucking dummies who voted for Jill Stein
People have insisted it does matter since higher margins affects morale. Like their own personal cheerleading needs is the same thing as electoral momentum.
the same people who post horses; are the ones making discourses
I honestly think part of the problem we're up against on like, all fronts is that some Democrats have this like, kantian deontological rule fetishist mentality that forms the core of their political ideology and then a bunch of us are motivated by specific moral goals and don't care about the rules
When you want the Machine to keep existing because if it were to *actually* be in the hands of someone capable it would stop being something you make your millions "Raging" against. Fuck Tom Morello, fuck every white man like him from him to the Cornell rapists. They're all on the same team.
Oh, and fuck his little performative concert where he pretends to give a shit about corporate anything while he takes corporate money. Men like him are why we have Trump in the first place, and they know it.
Tom Morello is such a performative dipshit. He gets ton of praise from White Leftists, but he won't do the simplest thing asked of him to make progress: vote for a Black woman for President.
Just info: Tom is mixed race and identifies as black.
He's too busy selling guitars for a billion dollar corporation who is trying to crush small mom and pop shops. bsky.app/profile/elot...
His father Ngethe Njoroge was Kenyan, their first ambassador to the UN. Took part in the Mau Mau Uprisings. His great-uncle was the first elected president of Kenya. Which makes all of this worse, because he has no real accomplishment beyond playing guitar and running his useless mouth.
I’d bet he wanted Steyer
Tom Morello is a great guitar player, talented musician for sure...but sorry, if you didn't vote for Kamala Harris in 2024 (because "reasons"), f*** you. bluevirginia.us/2026/10/sund... cc: @brucespringsteen.net
Wow, didn't realize that Morello and company protested the 2000 Democratic National Convention, thus playing their (small) part in giving us George W. Bush (hence the Iraq War disaster, John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Gitmo, Abu Ghraib, retreat from climate action, etc. etc.). F'ing dumbasses.
I kinda get it. But I also think not voting because you don't like the candidates is fundamentally selfish. The purpose of voting is not to make you feel good inside. The purpose is to affect the direction of the country. Declining to do that because of fee-fees is missing the point entirely
That’s that privilege talk. A lot of celebrities have revealed how shitty they are during Trump’s political rise. They are so rich and insulated from the average citizen that they can do irresponsible shit and not care about the consequences. They double down instead of taking responsibility.
he’s right, go fuck yourself
And how did that work out for Palestinians, Tom.
Their band is called "Rage Against The Machine," not "Overturn The Machine." Tom Morello's entire grift depends on The Machine continuing. Harris, with an economics degree and plans to help the working class, was a threat to The Machine. And a threat to The Machine is a threat to Tom Morello.
morellos cultural influence outweighs his handful of skipped votes in california by tens of million fold. how many political activists were awoken by ratm's revolutionary music (sonically and culturally)?

To be fair, lots of left-leaning musicians from Morello’s generation become Republicans when they get older
“I didn’t think he would ever rage against MY machine!!” I cry, while reducing a years-long genocide that included the murder of thousands of children into “reasons” and wondering why people criticize my politics
The guy has been a fucked up red-brown freak for decades, I'm not surprised at all - isn't he besties with Roger Waters too?
Vote Blue Dems calling genocide "reasons" is a real bad look. It is another reason the party's disapproval rate with the public, despite the Orange One, is in the trashcan
Some things haven’t changed since 2000.
While I'm at it, fuck this fucking piece of shit
Shame on Morello for not giving his solitary vote from California. Harris didn't win a single swing state in 2024 but by all means throw a temper tantrum for not doing an action that wouldn't make the slightest bit of a difference because you want to zealously scold people for being disillusioned.
Honestly really bored with people bragging about not voting in non-swing states.
