Dear Commons Community,

Entertainers last night at the 74th annual Golden Globes used their platforms to trash Donald Trump. Meryl Streep was especially effective when she said that Trump’s behavior toward people with disabilities and immigrants “sank its hooks into my heart” and she slammed what she called Trump’s “instinct to humiliate.” She asked for a “principled press to hold Trump accountable and to call him out “for every outrage.” Her comments were met with applause, tears and support by her fellow actors in the audience. Actor Chris Pine called her speech the “best message of tonight.”
