Rihanna, Win Butler, Questlove, More React to Trump’s Immigration Ban

Today has seen a mass of protests and outrage in the wake of Donald Trump’s executive order  banning citizens and refugees from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the United States. Many artists have spoken out, including Rihanna, Arcade Fire’s Win Butler, Questlove, Deadmau5, Charli XCX, Tegan and Sara, Bat for Lashes, Ed Droste, John Legend, and more. See some of their posts below. Earlier today, Grimes and Sia each initiated charity campaigns supporting organizations fighting against Trump’s actions.

Disgusted! The news is devastating! America is being ruined right before our eyes! What an immoral pig you have to be to implement such BS!!

Steve Jobs father was Syrian and he was adopted in to an American family. This is absolute madness and completely against American interest

I actually literally CANNOT think think of a time where I’ve been so overwhelmed with sadness, anger and disgust at a person, his team and their supporters. What happened today to people who WORKED and PROTECTED US forces in Iraq and elsewhere and were already vetted to the highest level, literally makes me sick. It takes a truly cold and evil heart to close the door on the most needy, not to mention people who HELPED US. Shame on this man, and anyone who supports/supported him. Truly truly truly a dark chapter in our history. #istandwithrefugees #istandwithplannedparenthood #notmypresident #shame

History Has Its Eyes On You. Know what is right. Know what is wrong.

This is a beautiful story. When we reject Iraqi refugees, we reject Brahim. Shame on America. Shame on Donald Trump. https://t.co/1NzFtUPvm8

the only sure way i can think of minimizing the amount of radical extremists in america would be to deport the one we just elected president
