Keep going, no matter what, keep going. You can change the world. So do it. Fight for it!

And interestingly enough, it is quite an apt description of what is happening right now in America. The Black Lives Matter movement is a lot like the Rebellion, fighting against the evil American empire, led by Emperor Donald Trump. Moreover, we live in such funny times that all of this doesn’t even seem far fetched. Rose McGowan used the perfect GIF!
Black Lives Matter
Just yesterday, the music industry and most of social media observed Blackout Tuesday. It was a campaign intended to raise awareness over the Black Lives Matter movement, but it did receive some backlash. Artists like Lil Nas X did not support it, saying that it instead damaged the movement by preventing people from sharing information.
Currently, millions of people around the United States are on the streets. This is because outraged over centuries of racism in the US and the thousands of black Americans like George Floyd who are a victim of police brutality. Therefore, Rose McGowan encouraged them to fight on!
