      > “To be honest, I really don’t feel deserving,” said Eilish. “And it’s very strange to be celebrated for working towards environmental justice at a time where it feels less achievable than ever given the state of our country and the world right now. We’re seeing our neighbors being kidnapped, peaceful protesters being assaulted and murdered, our civil rights being stripped, resources to fight the climate crisis being cut for fossil fuels and animal agriculture destroying our planet, and people’s access to food and healthcare becoming a privilege for the wealthy instead of a new basic human right for all Americans. It is very clear that protecting our planet and our communities is not a priority for this administration. And it’s really hard to celebrate that when we no longer feel safe in our own homes or in our streets,” she read from a tiny piece of paper.

      > “I am so inspired by all the stories and the other honorees tonight and everyone in this room, and I’m grateful to everyone and for the huge community of people who are taking action centered on Dr. King’s message. I just want to thank my mom, both my parents, for raising me the way they did. I wouldn’t be doing any of this without you, Mom,” she said, acknowledging her mother’s presence. “I have this platform and I think it’s my responsibility to use it, so I feel like I’m just doing what anyone in my position should be doing.”

      I appreciate her courage and clarity. So few celebrities have spoken out recently.

      Peaceful protesters who happen to be driving a car into law enforcement or attacking them with shovels

      You’re seeing illegal immigrants rightfully deported and hysterical ambulance chasers getting so caught up in their own delusional interpretation of the law that they feel emboldened to harass, obstruct, and assault law enforcement to the point where officers are forced to react with deadly force.

      Renee Good wasn’t peacefully protesting. She tried running someone over.

      Her neighbours?? Nah, she lives in a gated community and wouldn’t come within 10 feet of a fan of hers

      I can guarantee you her neighbors are just fine and are not even slightly worried

      Every influencer/musician/streamer/actor who stays quiet should be shunned forever. You have these massive platforms and don’t use them to bring awareness? Absolute cowards. Nice to see one of them trying.

      Oh good – myself and most others were hinging on Billies hot take about all of this. Im sure shes doing something about it too. Excellent, Billie.

      Environmental Justice? Whats that even mean? Can I assume she lives in a tiny apartment somewhere and drives a Prius? My neighbors are fine. I highly doubt any of her wealthy neighbors are being kidnapped. This is so disingenuous and fake.

      Haven’t seen 1 peaceful protesters assaulted. Seen a whole lot of FAFO.
