John Legend: “My heart is heavy. Our government is kidnapping & disappearing our friends & neighbors, our kids caregivers in the park, our builders. And then occupying our streets, to silence the voices of those exercising their constitutional rights—and responsibilities I might add, to dissent.”
During this speech at the 2025 Social Impact Summit in Los Angeles where he was recognized as Philanthropist of the Year for his longtime commitment to advancing equity and criminal justice reform. (July 24, 2025)
I haven’t thought about him and his wife in a really long time. I know Chrissy got sober, she is still an asshole?

Sometimes I just want to fucking scream. We all know what’s happening. We all see it. WHERE ARE THE ADULTS?! WHY IS NO ONE STOPPING THIS?! HOW FAR ARE WE GOING TO LET THIS GO BEFORE SOMEONE IS FUCKING HELD ACCOUNTABLE?!
Speeches like this are great. They say what we’re all thinking. But they don’t do shit. These people with power and influence and money need to DO SOMETHING. FUCKING DO SOMETHING.
Not that I think John Legend can fix the fascist nightmare that we are drowning in. I’m just saying that words aren’t enough anymore and that people like this have money and influence and it’s time they fucking helped us. I work in a public school in a shitty red state. What the fuck can I do except bend over?
