Musician, producer, and certified older brother of Billie Eilish™, Finneas just had a not-so-chill Sunday when he went out to protest peacefully and got a big ol’ faceful of seasoned air — aka tear gas. Yep, your fave Grammy-winner is now part-time activist, full-time spicy-eye survivor.
He took to Instagram like any modern-day legend and declared:
“Tear-gassed almost immediately at the very peaceful protest downtown — they’re inciting this.”
Translation: He showed up with vibes and signs, and the police showed up with… peppery chaos. Love that for dystopia!
Now, let’s rewind: these protests have been popping off all around L.A., centered around the big bad duo — LAPD and ICE (aka the guys who make Voldemort look like a summer camp counselor). Oh, and because this wasn’t chaotic enough, Trump decided to hit the “summon National Guard” button like he’s playing Call of Duty: Ego Edition.
But Finneas wasn’t here for ANY of that. Hours before his gas-mask glam moment, he posted a calm, delicate love note to the government:
“F-ck ICE.”
Poetry. Shakespeare could never.
And it didn’t stop there. He kept reposting messages like he was on a mission to drag every fascist on the internet into the group chat of shame. One of them read:
“If you are into this fascist sh-t, you are small and weak and will lose.”
Honestly? Tattoo that on the moon.
Finneas came in peace, got misted like a garden gnome in a riot, and still managed to roast the system while looking like a revolutionary indie prince. Justice? No. Icon behavior? Absolutely.
Now someone get this man some eye drops and a Grammy for courage. 💅✊✨
