Mark Ruffalo needs to spend more time as a nonverbal, big green Hulk with no time in actual speaking roles. When the Hollywood actor opens his mouth these days, his script is full of lines that were written for him by bitter, hate-fueled Hollywood miscreants. His bile-filled screeds against Jewish leaders in <a href="https://protect.checkpoint.com/v2/r01/___https:/nypost.com/2026/08/22/us-news/paramount-hits-back-at-actor-mark-ruffalo-over-unhinged-antisemitic-rant-against-warner-bros-merger/___.YXAzOmNyY2E6YzpvZmZpY2UzNjVfZW1haWxzX2F0dGFjaG1lbnQ6ZmVlMmVkMDhlNGIyYTY1ZjgzZWNhZTc2MGJmZDkzYTM6Nzo4ZGMyOmRkOGY2M2VmY2JkMTdlMTVjNjJjYzBjZmUyYTk4MGQzMjY1ZjQwOWI3NGY3ZjUwODBjNDVjNDRhYjgzYTg0NDc6cDpUOkY">Hollywood and the tech industry</a> have been expanded to link conspiracy theories as old as time to the reason he’s not getting hired these days.
Let’s look at a few examples. The Jewish owner of Paramount, David Ellison, has a father, Larry Ellison, who founded a tech company (from which he retired as CEO), Oracle, that has business operations in Israel. And because of Oracle’s “scary technologies,” Ruffalo warns, we might be unsafe in America. Hence, the Paramount-Warner Bros merger should be canceled. If you’re scratching your head and wondering where this nonsense comes from, the answer is that the Hulk’s mind is a crazy and addled place.
The linkages in Ruffalo’s spaghetti brain are as incomprehensible as the lines he grunts in his signature role as Marvel’s Incredible Hulk. Ruffalo couches his rants in what is currently the de rigueur language of progressivism, which is to say that the<a href="https://protect.checkpoint.com/v2/r01/___https:/variety.com/2026/film/news/mark-ruffalo-paramount-warner-bros-merger-david-ellison-1236840301/___.YXAzOmNyY2E6YzpvZmZpY2UzNjVfZW1haWxzX2F0dGFjaG1lbnQ6ZmVlMmVkMDhlNGIyYTY1ZjgzZWNhZTc2MGJmZDkzYTM6NzoxYTZmOmQ3MzAxYjI5NzQ3OTlkMzVjOTc4NTFkMGUwYTNkODMxOGNiZWNkMzJjOGE2ZmYyZjI1ZmY1MWQ1MGVmNTY1NGE6cDpUOkY"> merger wouldn’t be fair</a>. He pulls out big words like antitrust and consolidation to entice state attorneys general to join him, but ultimately he whines that the merger would negatively impact jobs. Most notably, no doubt, his prospects for future employment.
At the root of Ruffalo’s screed against tech giants who happen to be Jewish is his fundamental hatred of Jews. His deep-seated and inexplicable hatred of Jews and Israel is inflammatory and demonstrates fully why certain actors should only be allowed to speak the words that screenwriters give to them. Mark Ruffalo tied Oracle technology to Israel to his claim of genocide in Gaza to the Paramount-Warner Bros merger. Paramount rightly called out Ruffalo’s untethered and unfounded remarks as antisemitic, as he sees paranoid connections where none exist and genocide/apartheid where no rational actor sees them.
When actors like Ruffalo are allowed to make their own speech or wardrobe decisions, they do dumb and cruel things. Take the <a href="https://protect.checkpoint.com/v2/r01/___https:/canarymission.org/blog/The_Antisemitic_History_Of_The_Red_Hand___.YXAzOmNyY2E6YzpvZmZpY2UzNjVfZW1haWxzX2F0dGFjaG1lbnQ6ZmVlMmVkMDhlNGIyYTY1ZjgzZWNhZTc2MGJmZDkzYTM6Nzo3NDdlOjAwNzgzZmM0NzM3MDUxNjk3MTZhZTc4NjBmZjU5YjE0YTFjY2UzNGNhOTY3M2MzN2RjMDNkNTc2ODA2ZTVmMmM6cDpUOkY">Red Hand pin,</a> which somehow was supposed to call for a ceasefire in Gaza. The lapel pin that Ruffalo sported at the Oscars did nothing to bring about a ceasefire, but inflamed sentiment against Jews and Israel. The pin in question was designed to show support for terrorists who kidnapped and lynched two Israeli reservists in Ramallah in 2000. The terrorists held up their bloody hands after tearing the Israeli men apart and tossing their bodies from a window, after which the defiled bodies were drawn through the streets of Ramallah and burned. For Mark Ruffalo, this animalistic terror act was no more than a special effect in a movie. He’s not bright enough to distinguish reality from a comic book.
Hollywood can do so much better than Mark Ruffalo and his ilk. He is lionized by Jew-hating fellow actors who, like him, are washed up. We need more great leaders to fill the silver screen’s biggest roles. Ruffalo was never convincing as brilliant scientist Dr. Bruce Banner because he clearly isn’t capable of playing a smart guy. He also wasn’t convincing as a strong, non-verbal Hulk because he is an emotionally weak person. Studio executives have done a much better job in filling other roles in the Marvel Universe. It’s time to audition newer, better, smarter actors for the Bruce Banner/Hulk role. Scarlett Johansson, Gal Gadot, Gwyneth Paltrow, David Corenswet, Quentin Tarantino, and other fantastic actors and directors are multi-dimensional and create compelling characters in action movies. These are Hollywood’s superheroes who entertain and enlarge stage and screen.

How Mark Ruffalo Swapped The Avengers For Antisemitism

Mark Ruffalo’s fight with Paramount may be new. His fight with Israel definitely is not.
The “Avengers” star spent the weekend denying accusations that he invoked “antisemitic tropes,” but a trail of Ruffalo’s own posts shows his criticism of Israel stretches back more than a decade.
The latest fight started after Paramount accused Ruffalo of invoking “antisemitic tropes” while he attacked the company’s proposed merger with Warner Bros. Discovery.
Ruffalo had shared a video of former Oracle CEO Safra Catz discussing technology the company made available to Israel following the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks. Ruffalo went after Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, whose son David runs Paramount, and warned that the technology could eventually be “used on you.”
“Look how she revels in what we now have come to see as a genocide, which was built on an apartheid system of oppression powered by Oracle,” Ruffalo wrote.
Paramount wasn’t having it.
“We are, as always, troubled when antisemitic tropes are invoked in purported service of a business dispute,” the company said.
Paramount also called Ruffalo’s use of words like “genocide” and “apartheid” in connection with the corporate fight “a bridge too far.”
Ruffalo pushed back, calling the accusation that he is antisemitic “appalling and fundamentally dishonest.”
“Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people,” Ruffalo said.
But Ruffalo’s posts about Israel go back years.
In 2014, he questioned accusations that Hamas was using civilians as human shields.
“Do you honestly think these people, these fellow human beings, would use their own children as shields?” Ruffalo wrote to another user. “Use your heart.”

&nbsp;
Days later, Ruffalo shared an article claiming Hamas had not kidnapped and murdered three Israeli teenagers.
“Wow. It Turns Out Hamas Didn’t Kidnap and Kill the 3 Israeli Teens After All,” the headline Ruffalo shared read.
&nbsp;
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-1163861 size-large" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/Untitled-design-2026-08-24T085744.359-1024x300.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="300" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/Untitled-design-2026-08-24T085744.359-1024x300.jpg 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/Untitled-design-2026-08-24T085744.359-300x88.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/Untitled-design-2026-08-24T085744.359-768x225.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/Untitled-design-2026-08-24T085744.359.jpg 1200w" sizes=" (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></div>
&nbsp;
And when criticism started flying over his Gaza posts, Ruffalo had an answer for that, too.
“Empathizing w/ Gaza does NOT make me anti-Semitic, nor pro-Hamas or anti-Israel,” Ruffalo wrote. “It makes me human.”
&nbsp;
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-1163867 size-large" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/Untitled-design-2026-08-24T085911.366-1024x341.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="341" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/Untitled-design-2026-08-24T085911.366-1024x341.jpg 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/Untitled-design-2026-08-24T085911.366-300x100.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/Untitled-design-2026-08-24T085911.366-768x256.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/Untitled-design-2026-08-24T085911.366.jpg 1053w" sizes=" (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></div>
&nbsp;
Fast forward to 2021 when Ruffalo was calling for sanctions against Israel and comparing the country to apartheid-era South Africa.
“Sanctions on South Africa helped free its black people,” Ruffalo wrote before calling for sanctions on Israel to “free Palestinians.” 
He repeated the comparison days later while posting about Palestinian deaths in Gaza.
&nbsp;
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-1163925 size-full" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/Untitled-design-2026-08-24T092319.514.jpg" alt="" width="604" height="351" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/Untitled-design-2026-08-24T092319.514.jpg 604w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/Untitled-design-2026-08-24T092319.514-300x174.jpg 300w" sizes=" (max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px" /></div>
&nbsp;
Then Ruffalo walked it back.
Later that month, the actor apologized for posts suggesting Israel was committing “genocide.”
“I have reflected &amp; wanted to apologize for posts during the recent Israel/Hamas fighting that suggested Israel is committing ‘genocide,’” Ruffalo wrote.
He called the characterization “not accurate,” “inflammatory,” and “disrespectful.” Ruffalo also acknowledged something else about the rhetoric.
“It’s being used to justify antisemitism here &amp; abroad,” he wrote.
&nbsp;
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-1163885 size-large" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/Untitled-design-2026-08-24T090440.415-1024x341.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="341" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/Untitled-design-2026-08-24T090440.415-1024x341.jpg 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/Untitled-design-2026-08-24T090440.415-300x100.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/Untitled-design-2026-08-24T090440.415-768x256.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/Untitled-design-2026-08-24T090440.415.jpg 1053w" sizes=" (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></div>
&nbsp;
The apology, though, didn’t stop Ruffalo from continuing to weigh in on Israel. In November 2023, Ruffalo went after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after Netanyahu discussed civilian casualties in Gaza.
“They aren’t ‘collateral damage’ either,” Ruffalo wrote, referring to Palestinians. “They are human beings who happen to have been born there and live there and most of those human beings are stuck there.”
&nbsp;
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-1163895 size-full" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/Untitled-design-2026-08-24T090705.491.jpg" alt="" width="604" height="351" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/Untitled-design-2026-08-24T090705.491.jpg 604w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/Untitled-design-2026-08-24T090705.491-300x174.jpg 300w" sizes=" (max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px" /></div>
Ruffalo has continued criticizing Israel and its handling of the war in Gaza in the years since. Now, the word he publicly apologized for using in 2021 has made another appearance.
Five years after Ruffalo called his “genocide” characterization inflammatory and acknowledged that it was being used to justify antisemitism, he is using the word again. Only this time, Paramount is accusing him of invoking “antisemitic tropes.”

Mark Ruffalo Denies He’s Antisemitic. His Own Posts Tell A Different Story.

Hard-Left actor Mark Ruffalo got shellacked on social media over the weekend after taking a self-righteous swipe at tech billionaire Elon Musk, with critics blasting the wealthy star for his stunning hypocrisy and total lack of self-awareness.
The &#8220;Avengers&#8221; star ignited a digital firestorm when he posted a cartoon titled “Elon Musk dines alone.” The cartoon depicted Musk sitting before a lavish feast, asking a starving young child across the table, “What are you staring at, African kid?” To which the child responds: “Sorry, I don’t mean to be rude, but I haven’t eaten since you killed USAID.”
Ruffalo wagged his finger at Musk, writing, “Hello @ElonMusk. This is how you are perceived. Not too late to course correct but it’s getting pretty late. You certainly have the extra money on hand to really help the people of the world instead of the hellbent road of chaos and destruction you are ludicrously barreling down.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

Social media users weren&#8217;t buying the A-lister&#8217;s virtue-signaling and immediately ripped the multi-millionaire actor to shreds.
&#8220;Lecturing others while sitting on tens of millions yourself is peak Hollywood,&#8221; fired back one commenter, noting Ruffalo’s estimated $35 million net worth and his $7 million Manhattan penthouse. &#8220;You could donate $25-30 million tomorrow and still live an extremely comfortable life. &#8230; You need a basic economics lesson and a mirror, because your hypocrisy is matched only by your lack of self-awareness.&#8221;
Others brought cold, hard receipts to expose the actor&#8217;s lecture, pointing out that Musk’s personal charitable giving totals roughly $8.2 billion to $8.5 billion over the years. In 2024 alone, the Musk Foundation granted $474 million to causes like pediatric research and STEM education, while SpaceX donated tens of millions in Starlink satellite terminals to keep Ukraine connected during Russian attacks.
&#8220;What percentage of your $35M net worth have you moved to effective causes at similar scale? Or is drawing memes the contribution?&#8221; another user blasted.

Ruffalo’s defense of USAID also raised eyebrows, given the agency&#8217;s notorious track record of wasteful spending before its functions were absorbed by the State Department.
Lists of dubious government spending by USAID have revealed taxpayer dollars flowing into absurd projects, including $20 million for an Iraqi version of &#8220;Sesame Street,&#8221; $1.5 million for &#8220;diversity, equity, and inclusion&#8221; in Serbia, $68,000 for dance classes in Wuhan, China, and funds that paid for Ukrainian fashion models to attend Paris Fashion Week. Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snIbxC-YhGs">revealed</a> that millions of dollars intended for humanitarian aid ended up diverted to terrorists in Syria, while other lawmakers raised concerns about funds going to terrorists in Gaza.
Critics left Ruffalo with a simple reality check: if he&#8217;s so concerned about global hunger, he should put his own millions where his mouth is.
As one user bluntly put it: &#8220;If you think people need to be fed who aren&#8217;t, why don&#8217;t you feed them?&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
You&#39;re worth 35 million dollars. If you think people need to be fed who aren&#39;t, why don&#39;t you feed them? Feel free to go into debt to do it, which is what you&#39;re asking the country to do&#8230;.and if you&#39;re saying, &quot;Why does it have to me?&quot; That&#39;s the same question we&#39;re asking.

Hulk Smashed: Mark Ruffalo Mocked For Hypocritical Attack On Elon Musk

elon musk

Hypocrisy

usaid

All the Hollywood celebrities are out and showing their absolute rage — but not at the Iranian government mowing people down in the streets.
As cataclysmic events take place in Iran, with apparently hundreds or thousands of protesters being shot to death, a number that has even been estimated to be 10,000, it’s good to know the folks in Hollywood have their priorities straight. 
The Golden Globes were held on Sunday night, providing an opportunity for members of the Hollywood contingent — who prize their pseudo-morality over everyone else&#8217;s — to make a stand.
After all, they&#8217;ve made stands on issues as far back as Tibet in the 1990s (which they conveniently have now forgotten all about).
Remember when last year, a bunch of Hollywood celebrities pranced around like fools, claiming that a genocide that was not happening was, in fact, happening, and criticized the State of Israel for defending its own existence. 
This year, they have a different cause because, hey, new day, new cause. Now, what could that cause be?
The cause of the Iranian people who are out in the streets risking their own deaths to defy the mullahs? The people of Iran, many of whom are secular and westernized in their attitudes toward the state? Are those the people toward whom Hollywood directs all of its sympathies? Are they sparing a moment for those people? 
Of course not. 
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-2344-gross-hollywood-attacks-ice-ignores-slaughter-in-iran?elementPosition=4&amp;row=2&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+Episodes&amp;rowType=Horizontal+Show+Episodes+Carousel"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-974957" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/511983dad25841c8b1ec058d75769bbe-1024x171.webp" alt="DailyWire+" width="1024" height="171" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/511983dad25841c8b1ec058d75769bbe-1024x171.webp 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/511983dad25841c8b1ec058d75769bbe-300x50.webp 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/511983dad25841c8b1ec058d75769bbe-768x128.webp 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/511983dad25841c8b1ec058d75769bbe-1536x256.webp 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/511983dad25841c8b1ec058d75769bbe-2048x341.webp 2048w" sizes=" (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a>
Hollywood put on a show at the Golden Globes, and everything was about ICE and LGBTQ and Bari Weiss taking over CBS, because, you see, these are the real threats. 
According to people in Hollywood, you should have your eyes focused like a laser beam on the predations of ICEt enforcing the law with regard to illegal immigration and deporting people for welfare fraud.
You should have your eyes focused like a laser beam on Bari Weiss taking over CBS News and preventing it from its long history of inaccurately reporting the news. 
You should be focused like a laser beam on the terrible predations that affect LGBTQ+- people all over the United States.
It is an act of bravery to stand up at the Golden Globes and virtue signal on behalf of the LGBTQ+- community.
So last night, a bunch of celebs showed up and decided — as our Moral Guideposts, the lodestars of our civilization — that the chief things you need to worry about as an American are ICE, LGBTQ+-, and Bari Weiss.
Hostess Nikki Glaser began the evening by going after the most deserving target, who deserved her absolute rage: Bari Weiss and CBS News.
Mark Ruffalo showed up and said it was hard to pretend anymore that we don&#8217;t live in a “dictatorship.”
Thus saith the man who wears a tux at the Golden Globes and gets paid millions of dollars to play the same character that he has played in every other miniseries and movie for the last two decades.
“We have a woman, Renee Good, was murdered in our streets of America today, and we got literally stormtroopers running around terrorizing. And as much as I love all this, I can&#8217;t. I don&#8217;t know if I can pretend like this crazy stuff isn&#8217;t happening. It&#8217;s so hard to pretend anymore,” he complained.
It&#8217;s hard for him to pretend? He’s an actor.
This is a person who spent the last two years basically standing on behalf of terrorist groups in the Middle East. But it&#8217;s very hard for him to pretend that there aren&#8217;t “stormtroopers” wandering the streets.
You know what&#8217;s cool about being able to say that sort of thing? There aren&#8217;t stormtroopers wandering the streets — because throughout history, when there were stormtroopers wandering the streets, celebrities didn&#8217;t get to go on camera and talk about how there were stormtroopers wandering the streets.
In fact, there are many places on Earth where the stormtroopers do wander the streets. For example, Iran, where there are stormtroopers shooting people in the head for protesting.
Did Ruffalo have a word for them?
Nope. He had a little pin that read, “Be Good,” referencing Renee Good.
Hollywood always seems to pick the side that opposes law enforcement or opposes the West.
“The guy’s a convicted felon or convicted rapist. He&#8217;s a pedophile,” Ruffalo said of President Trump. “He&#8217;s the worst human being. If we&#8217;re relying on this guy&#8217;s morality for the most powerful country in the world, then we&#8217;re all in a lot of trouble. So this is for her. This is for the people in the United States who are terrorized and scared today. I know I&#8217;m one of them. I love this country. And what I&#8217;m seeing here happening is not America.”
He slandered the president of the United States as a pedophile, called him the worst person in the world, for, among other things, extraditing Nicolás Maduro — a Marxist dictator responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands and probably hundreds of thousands of people and the exile of literally millions of people. That, to Mark Ruffalo, is a big moral problem.
Not a word to spare for the millions marching in the streets in Iran right now, thousands of whom are getting mowed down by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Ariana Grande also showed up wearing her ICE Out pin, the new hot thing in Hollywood.
Frankly, any amount of weight added to her garment puts her at risk of falling over.
Wanda Sykes showed up to talk about LGBTQ+-, saying, “You know, there&#8217;s some people pissed off that a queer black woman is up here doing the job of two mediocre white guys.”
This is where Hollywood puts its priorities. There are people on earth literally putting their lives at risk, their bodies on the line for their own freedom.
And Hollywood has nothing to say to them. Nothing.
Are you seeing protests on campuses in favor of the Iranian people right now? Have you seen a single protest?
You have not.
Have you seen a single mass protest by all of these international-law-loving, human rights-adoring left-wingers, the Zohran Mamdani wing of the Democratic Party, in favor of the protesters in Iran, who simply want their horrifying theocratic regime gone?
You have not.
Have you seen a single comment from Democrats, beyond a kind of “thoughts and prayers?”
You have not.
Have you seen protests in the streets?
You have not.
Have you seen calls for material aid?
You have not.
It’s sad-sack nonsense, because there are people in the world who are doing something courageous and incredible right now.
And Hollywood and the Left are gladly looking the other way.

Hollywood stars have taken a knee on the “Trump is Hitler” meme, pivoting to the men and women of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/immigration-and-customs-enforcement-ice">ICE</a> (Immigration and Customs Enforcement).
A gaggle of notable names have ridiculed ICE for daring to enforce the nation’s immigration laws — laws supported by a majority of U.S. voters.
The agents, to date, have mostly focused on the worst offenders. Think illegal immigrants accused of heinous crimes who managed to remain free during the Biden administration.
Now, they’re being targeted by President Trump’s no-nonsense border czar Tom Homan. And progressive stars are raging everywhere they can against Team Homan. Late-night TV. Social media. Interviews.

Stephen King played <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:h7obn4tkp47wn7gqh4oe5eij/post/3lrxwo2xx322u?ref_src=embed">the Nazi card</a> against ICE officials from the progressive Utopia known as BlueSky, including a misspell of “Gestapo.”
<blockquote>ICE looking more and more like the American Gestpo [sic].</blockquote>
Comedian Patton Oswalt used less incendiary rhetoric, by comparison, to light up ICE during a recent “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” appearance.
Oswalt called them “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YISQeVMl7RE">Pillsbury Stormtroopers</a>,” comparing their alleged physiques to his own lumpy form.
<blockquote>Your knees are hurting, your hips are screaming, and your back is aching … And you’re thinking, ‘Why didn’t I just stay home and play Red Dead Redemption and eat Sun Chips instead of coming out here in the heat where everyone’s booing me and I’m realizing that I’m the biggest douchebag on the planet?’</blockquote>
Oswalt’s rhetoric grew uglier when it came to Trump’s border czar. The “Ratatouille” star, after hearing about death threats tied to Homan, weighed in <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:bwvd55e4hsxpuxa5ikrfgqgo/post/3lshyjaky722d?ref_src=embed">via BlueSky</a>.
<blockquote>good. i hope it gets so much worse for this rancid pile of polenta.</blockquote>
The far-Left hosts at “The View” couldn’t let the ICE raids go unnoticed. The ABC squad saw the chaos encircling Los Angeles earlier this month during the open borders protests and found the <a href="https://newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicholas-fondacaro/2025/06/10/view-la-riots-were-peaceful-days-ice-brought-crisis">source of the problem</a>.
They pointed to the ICE agents, not the protesters burning cars and hurling bricks at law enforcement officers.
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg says the city’s pro-illegal immigration rallies were “mostly peaceful” until ICE agents arrived on the scene. She leaned on impeccable sources for her wisdom.
<blockquote>…suddenly these guys showed up and flipped everybody out. So, that&#8217;s what my family is saying.</blockquote>
Sunny Hostin chimed in, playing the “mostly peaceful” card and backing up Goldberg’s anti-ICE assessment.
Credit pop superstar Lizzo with the most deranged take on the matter.
She claimed “illegal” immigrants <a href="https://news.meaww.com/lizzo-sparks-backlash-over-no-such-thing-as-illegal-no-borders-anti-ice-rant-avoid-this-thinking">aren’t real</a> because no one actually owns land.
<blockquote>When people finally understand that these terms and ideas are tools for racism and capitalism we can truly be free. We can finally see the oppressors for who they are.</blockquote>
Sometimes, profanity is a celebrity’s best friend. Take Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny. He <a href="https://variety.com/2025/music/news/bad-bunny-calls-out-ice-video-puerto-rico-raids-1236434813/">blasted ICE agents</a> as “motherf****rs” in a Spanish screed on Instagram, tied to a video of agents interrogating unnamed people.
“Look, those motherf——s are in these cars, RAV-4s. They’re here in Pontezuela,” he posted in Spanish.
<div id="attachment_940265" style="width: 874px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-940265" class="size-large wp-image-940265" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/GettyImages-2221235471-864x576.jpg" alt="The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and guest Rep. Maxwell Frost during Thursday's June 19, 2025 show.

Not to be outdone, “The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert didn’t step in when one of his guests promoted extreme rhetoric from the show’s signature CBS couch. Instead, he piled on.
Congressman Maxwell Frost (D-FL) told the far-Left host ICE agents are <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2025/06/20/stephen-colbert-parrots-dem-rep-max-frosts-claim-ice-illegal-alien-arrests-look-like-kidnapping/">“kidnapping people.”</a>
<blockquote>We have ICE federal agents pulling up, terrorizing our communities, hopping out of unmarked vans, stealing and yes, kidnapping people, not giving them their day in court and yes, human trafficking them to other nations.</blockquote>
Colbert nodded along, doubling down on the kidnapping verbiage.

Veteran singer Shakira leaned into the fear-mongering part of the celebrity playbook, also conflating legal and illegal immigration during a BBC interview.
She described the immigrant experience as “<a href="https://variety.com/2025/music/news/shakira-immigrant-united-states-constant-fear-1236432560/">living in constant fear</a>.”
<blockquote>Now, more than ever, we have to remain united. Now, more than ever, we have to raise our voices and make it very clear that a country can change its immigration policies, but the treatment of all people must always be humane.</blockquote>
Mark Ruffalo, one of the most outspoken stars in the Hollywood galaxy, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/mark-ruffalo-jimmy-kimmel-more-stars-protests-no-kings-1236291157/">railed against ICE efforts</a> during California’s “No Kings” June 14 protest.
<blockquote>We see a president who has made himself a king and dictator, and we don’t see an opposition that’s powerful enough to stand up against the trampling of our rights and the trampling of the Constitution that’s happening every single day with executive orders, with the refusal to obey court orders, kidnapping of immigrants, people who are here legally, people who their children are being taken from them.</blockquote>
<div id="attachment_936573" style="width: 903px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-936573" class="size-large wp-image-936573" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/Mark-Ruffalo-893x576.jpg" alt="Mark Ruffalo" width="893" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/Mark-Ruffalo-893x576.jpg 893w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/Mark-Ruffalo-300x194.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/Mark-Ruffalo-768x495.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/Mark-Ruffalo.jpg 1200w" sizes=" (max-width: 893px) 100vw, 893px" />Roy Rochlin/Getty Images for Tribeca Festival</div>
Celebrity Nation decried the January 6 riot and demanded protesters pay a stiff price for battling beleaguered Capitol Police officers. Things are different now, apparently. They could have objected to ICE raids on different grounds, suggesting that hard-working illegals should find a path to citizenship, not a one-way ticket out of the U.S.
Instead, in the grand “Spinal Tap” tradition, they turned the incendiary rhetoric up to 11.
Worst of all, none of this is happening in a vacuum. The Department of Homeland Security says attacks on ICE agents have shot up <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/assaults-on-ice-agents-increase-500?author=Catherine+Maxwell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Assaults+on+ICE+Agents+Increase+500%25">500% in recent weeks</a>. ICE agents are routinely doxxed, forcing them to mask up to protect their loved ones.
The stars won’t stop their incendiary rhetoric, apparently, even if it gets someone hurt. Or worse.

Avowed leftist Mark Ruffalo is at it again, claiming that “billionaires” are the real problem while immigrants contribute nothing but hard work and prosperity to the country.
The 57-year-old “Avengers” actor spoke on the topic while attending one of several “No Kings” protest rallies that took place over the weekend. A video of his rant began circulating on social media.
Ruffalo said in the video that “immigrants aren’t the criminals,” claiming they “add to our economy by the billions.” He also said white people commit “most of the crimes” in society.
The actor said billionaires are “the true villains,” and the ones who are “really making our lives unbearable and making us so desperate.”

“It’s time to take our country back from that extreme wealth that has its hands all over the power of the nation,” said Ruffalo, whose estimated <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/actors/mark-ruffalo-net-worth/">net worth</a> is around $35 million. 
Many social media commenters called out the Hulk actor for his comments, pointing out how immigrants who came here illegally are technically criminals.
“How is he that rich but also that stupid?” one person <a href="https://x.com/Neko_Tet/status/1935332215904419879">wondered</a>.
“This does prove what a great actor he is. Mark can play the brilliant Bruce Banner despite his extremely limited grasp on reality and logic,” another <a href="https://x.com/TheMuppetPastor/status/1935310936866160888">said</a>. 
“I think he took one too many headshots from Thanos,” another commenter <a href="https://x.com/RevAdamTBarr/status/1934963585169371364">joked</a>.
Several days ago, the actor went off on President Trump and ICE enforcement in another social media post, Variety <a href="https://variety.com/2025/film/news/mark-ruffalo-slams-billionaires-donald-trump-grifter-1236435124/">reported</a>.
“You want to get rid of the people who are picking your food, without a care in the world for who is poisoning your bodies with chemicals that aren’t ever meant to be in nature. You want to drive out those who make your life easier but not question those who dull your minds with lies and disinformation meant to confuse you and destroy brotherly and sisterly love for us here? You&#8217;re pointing your guns in the wrong direction,” he wrote in the lengthy screed.
“The president is a grifter,” Ruffalo continued. “His family is raking it in with their bitcoin con, the dopey tech billionaire takes your tax money to make himself richer than any person in the history of mankind with his pipe dream of living on Mars, while you starve, while you worry, while he gleefully lets people with AIDS, people suffering famine, or persecution or political danger silently die. He fires your family members, and stops cancer research to help cure the ones you love.”

Stars who have slammed President Donald Trump are now asking the president for help with artificial intelligence copyright protections as Hollywood battles with the impact of AI on the entertainment industry.
Mark Ruffalo, Bette Midler, Ava DuVernay, and more actors have signed a letter to President Trump asking him to hold the line against tech companies who they said have pushed to “weaken copyright” rules, <a href="https://deadline.com/2025/03/trump-ai-hollywood-response-copyright-1236329205/">Deadline</a> noted.
“We firmly believe that America’s global AI leadership must not come at the expense of our essential creative industries,” the group wrote the White House Office of Science and Technology in an open letter.
“America’s arts and entertainment industry supports over 2.3M American jobs with over $229Bn in wages annually, while providing the foundation for American democratic influence and soft power abroad,” it added. “But AI companies are asking to undermine this economic and cultural strength by weakening copyright protections for the films, television series, artworks, writing, music, and voices used to train AI models at the core of multi-billion dollar corporate valuations.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

“For nearly 250 years, U.S. copyright law has balanced [a] creator’s rights with the needs of the public, creating the world’s most vibrant creative economy,” the letter continued. “We recommend that the American AI Action Plan uphold existing copyright frameworks to maintain the strength of America’s creative and knowledge industries, as well as American cultural influence abroad.”
In addition to Ruffalo, Midler, and DuVernay, Ben Stiller, Cate Blanchett, Judd Apatow, Taika Waititi, Natasha Lyonne, Paul McCartney, Lily Gladstone, and Patton Oswalt joined a list of more than 400 people in the entertainment industry who have called on Trump’s administration because they claim OpenAI and Google “are arguing for a special government exemption so they can freely exploit America’s creative and knowledge industries, despite their substantial revenues and available funds.&#8221;
&#8220;AI companies can use our copy-righted material by simply doing what the law requires – negotiating appropriate licenses with copyright holders, just as every other industry does,&#8221; the letter read. &#8220;This issue goes well beyond the entertainment industry, as the right to train AI on all copyright-protected content impacts all of America’s knowledge industries.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.aol.com/actor-mark-ruffalo-dubs-trump-025802346.html">Ruffalo</a> has been an outspoken critic of the president, labeling him once an “enemy of America” in response to an op-ed in The New York Times that claimed Trump was a threat to democracy.
“F***ing finally. Media starts to wake up…” Ruffalo wrote. “Presidential contender is calling for Americans to kill and harm Americans. Let that sink in. Enemy of America from within.”
Frequent Trump critic Midler previously <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-bette-midler-social-media-1890734">shared a post</a> on X from a writer who labeled Trump “a troll,&#8221; who has &#8220;no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth.” She captioned the post, noting how “brilliant” the writer was.
Following the 2024 election, director DuVernay blasted Trump’s re-election in spite of the criminal charges he faced, <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/12/ava-duvernay-donald-trump-re-election-origin-release-marrakech-1236190812/">Deadline</a> noted.
“My country is run by criminals, but that criminality is seen as completely different than a black kid on the corner who might buy, sell marijuana,” the actress said. “The black kid is in prison for years, while criminals are elected and make millions of dollars and sell electric cars.”

The video included the Marvel stars discussing a new potential catchphrase for Harris.

By the end of the video, their suggested slogan had been revised to, &#8220;I’m Kamala Harris, and I am down with democracy.&#8221;
The social media mockery of the new ad was swift and fierce.
“Um, a little too much honesty here… Kamala Harris ‘tearing down democracy!’” Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz <a href="https://x.com/tedcruz/status/1852148187760410757">posted</a> on X.
“I believe we can safely say Vice President Kamala Harris has secured the Hollywood douchenozzle vote,” another reaction <a href="https://x.com/CarmineSabia/status/1852116791947927844">said</a>. 
This isn’t the first time these stars participated in a video supporting the Democratic candidate for president. In 2016, Downey Jr., Johansson, Ruffalo, and Cheadle joined other celebrities in an ad <a href="https://youtu.be/nRp1CK_X_Yw">attacking Donald Trump</a>. 
In that video, Cheadle described Trump as a &#8220;racist, abusive coward who could permanently damage the fabric of our society.&#8221;

Actor Mark Ruffalo took some backlash for a Sunday post suggesting that an Israeli military operation — which resulted in the rescue of four hostages held by Hamas terrorists since October 7th — was not worth it because of the number of Palestinian civilians who were supposedly killed.
Ruffalo, who took on the role of the Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, repeated the number of casualties declared by the Hamas-controlled <a href="https://x.com/sentdefender/status/1799510443737624662" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gaza officials</a> and suggested that it was not an even exchange for just four of the remaining hostages.
&#8220;It’s so good to see the hostages returned,&#8221; Ruffalo began, but pivoted immediately. &#8220;A ceasefire would have gotten many more hostages back and no civilians and children killed. This siege is cruel and senseless. Grinding innocent human beings and their culture into blood soaked rubble and dust, to be buried and forgotten. 4 for 274 including kids. It’s a sinful equation that keeps repeating.&#8221;
Critics quickly pointed out to Ruffalo that the hostages were not &#8220;returned,&#8221; they were rescued — and one noted that there was a very simple way to avoid any civilian casualties in the future.

The three-step plan Hogeg advocated was as follows: &#8220;1. Don’t kidnap innocent people. 2. If you do, don’t hide them among civilians. 3. If you did, don’t complain when those innocent people are rescued.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
4. And don’t complain when the people hiding hostages in their homes are killed or injured during the extraction process. At the point at which they assist Hamas, they become combatants themselves and any consequences for that allegiance are on them.

Rochelle Wentz followed that up with a fourth step: &#8220;And don’t complain when the people hiding hostages in their homes are killed or injured during the extraction process. At the point at which they assist Hamas, they become combatants themselves and any consequences for that allegiance are on them.&#8221;
&#8220;Hey, @MarkRuffalo, you know what would have saved all civilians from being killed? If Hamas hadn&#8217;t smashed the ceasefire that existed on Oct. 6 with a genocidal orgy of murder, rape, and kidnapping. For every drop of blood shed since then — on both sides — Hamas bears full guilt,&#8221; Jeff Jacoby added.

Hulk Actor Smashed For Complaining That People Died During Israeli Hostage Rescue Mission

&#8220;The Avengers&#8221; actor Mark Ruffalo took aim at the Supreme Court on Saturday, claiming that recent decisions had proven it is a &#8220;right-wing ideological political institution&#8221; and demanding that the legislative and executive branches act to control it.
Ruffalo delivered his message in a couple of tweets, responding to a HuffPost article that accused the current Court of effectively &#8220;rolling back the 20th century.&#8221; The article highlighted several recent decisions the author viewed as regressive — namely, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/report-at-least-10000-fewer-legal-abortions-have-occurred-since-overturn-of-roe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dobbs decision</a> overturning Roe v. Wade, the decision axing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/whoopi-blows-up-over-affirmative-action-ruling-why-do-you-fear-us" target="_blank" rel="noopener">affirmative action</a> in the college admissions process, the decision that killed Biden&#8217;s student loan forgiveness program, and the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gorsuch-lambasts-sotomayors-dissent-in-christian-web-designer-ruling-opens-fire-on-its-own-position" target="_blank" rel="noopener">303 Creative</a> decision that came down last week.
&#8220;Okay. So we all understand that the Supreme Court has become a right-wing ideological political institution under Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, Barrett, Kavanaugh, &amp; Roberts,&#8221; Ruffalo declared. &#8220;They&#8217;re for sale &amp; illegitimate. Now, we have to beat them in the executive branch &amp; the legislature.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Organize the vote. They&#39;re taking us backward. We have already left them behind. Now we keep building people&#39;s power. We have the people. We are far more mighty. Hold on tight &amp; keep organizing. Drown out the noise. Keep pushing forward. The only way to freedom is forward.

Hold on tight &amp; keep organizing. Drown out the noise. Keep pushing forward. The only way to freedom is forward,&#8221; he continued.
But not everyone was sure Ruffalo had the right idea. Critics quickly responded to his tweets, reminding him that he had not had a problem with a left-leaning court that delivered decisions he agreed with.
&#8220;It used to be a left-wing ideological political institution, but you were fine with that,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/SamanthaPfaff/status/1675295298917380104" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one said</a>.
&#8220;Sounds awful sedition-y there, kiddo, to say a co-equal branch of government is illegitimate,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/shoveitjack/status/1675281002850136066" target="_blank" rel="noopener">another tweeted</a>. &#8220;It would be a lot easier for you to just say you are throwing a tantrum because you don&#8217;t like the Constitution.&#8221;
&#8220;Guy who gets paid tens of millions to be a CGI voice over would like to school the peasants on the glorious future that socialism will create for us. He keeps his money of course. That’s just assumed,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/ejgallagher1/status/1675333522842873856" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added a third</a>.
A couple of Ruffalo&#8217;s fellow actors weighed in as well.
&#8220;Not all actors are like this, I promise,&#8221; Matthew Marsden assured his followers.

Actor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mark-ruffalo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mark Ruffalo</a>, best known for his incessant leftist rants as well as his performances as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/marvel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marvel’s</a> Hulk, resorted to more whining, quoting a writer complaining that the reason the show “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” got bad reviews was that it was “led by women.”
Ruffalo quoted an <a href="https://screenrant.com/she-hulk-review-bombing-imdb-ratings-problem/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> in ScreenRant that claimed the abundance of bad reviews posted on IMDB arose because of the reviewers’ misogyny or racism.
“The rise in bad-faith IMDb reviews, particularly for projects led by women and/or BIPOC, threatens to render the site’s scores meaningless if the problem is not addressed,” the article stated and Ruffalo quoted.

“She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” stars Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters, the cousin of Bruce Banner, who becomes Hulk.
“The current IMDb policy leaves the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as women and BIPOC working in film and television particularly vulnerable to unnecessary vitriol and harassment,” the article declares.
Ruffalo’s fealty to political correctness has been demonstrated for years; in December 2019, when he was worth an estimated $30 million by <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/actors/mark-ruffalo-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">some</a> <a href="https://wealthygorilla.com/mark-ruffalo-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a>, he decided to trumpet his antipathy for the capitalist system, pontificating on Twitter, “It’s time for an economic revolution. Capitalism today is failing us, killing us, and robbing from our children’s future.”

In September 2019, Ruffalo asserted his support for Senator Bernie Sanders and socialism, tweeting, “Democratic Socialism per @BernieSanders is basically the political system that works for all of us not just one percent. Healthcare for workers, education for workers, sick leave for workers, and a fair tax system.”

By the end of November 2019, Ruffalo was at it again, <a href="https://pjmedia.com/trending/mark-ruffalo-says-bernie-sanders-would-beat-trumps-ass-no-doubt-about-it/">saying of Sanders</a> that he would “beat Trump’s a**.” He said, “I know that he has the grit and I know he has this huge infrastructure and the young people dig him. And of course a good part of ‘the Squad’ signed off on him. I&#8217;m very excited about what he’s doing. He’s already pushed the Democrats to the progressive values he already has and he keeps leading in the field even today. And he&#8217;ll beat Trump&#8217;s a**.”
In June 2017, Ruffalo targeted the “white conservatives” he claimed NBC and MSNBC had hired. Ruffalo linked to a petition demanding NBC executives “stop the white conservative hiring spree.”

“Tell NBC executives: Stop the white conservative hiring spree at MSNBC,” the petition stated. “NBC had troubling ties to Trump during the presidential campaign and gave the racist sexual predator a national platform. Now MSNBC, too, is tilting to the right.”
