For
many,
Kesha
represents
the
original
recipe
4Loko,
nights
you
can’t
remember
(because
of
the
4Loko),
and
damn
catchy
party
anthems.
But
the
White
House
recently
pushed
the
party
animal
to
take
on
a
new
role:
a
spokesperson
for
peace,
human
dignity,
and
a
reminder
that
Donald
Trump’s
name
appears
in
the
Epstein
Files
more
than
Eminem’s
did
in
Stan’s
letters.
On
the
American
surveillance
and
propaganda
app
known
as
TikTok,
the
White
House
made
light
of
human
suffering
and
tax
dollars
going
toward
weapons
instead
of
healthcare
by
sound
tracking
war
planes
and
bombing
footage
with
Kesha’s
hit
song
“Blow”:
You
know
things
are
bad
when
the
Administration
makes
Baudrillard’s
argument
that
war
has
lost
its
gravitas
and
became
a
media
event
to
hide
the
reality
that
none
of
this
was
actually
what
we
thought
it
was
both
prescient
and
relatable.
That
said,
we
hit
the
point
where
the
WH
press
secretary
started
responding
to
hard
hitting
policy
questions
with
“your
mom”
long
ago.
Somebody
has
to
stand
up,
and
that
somebody
appears
to
be
Kesha:
Curious
timing
though:
Kesha’s
rebuke
came
about
three
weeks
after
the
White
House
posted
the
video.
Better
late
than
never.
We’re
talking
to
you,
Taylor
Swift.
According
to
NME‘s
coverage,
the
outrage
response
may
just
be
part
of
the
overall
social
media
strategy:
[W]hite
House
Communications
Director
Steven
Cheung
re-posted
Kesha’s
statement
on
his
X/Twitter
profile.
“All
these
‘singers’
keep
falling
for
this,”
he
wrote.
“This
just
gives
us
more
attention
and
more
view
counts
to
our
videos
because
people
want
to
see
what
they’re
bitching
about.
Thank
you
for
your
attention
to
this
matter.”
Shortly
afterwards,
Kesha
fired
back
with
a
simple
request:
“Stop
using
my
music,
perverts.”
She
also
tagged
the
official
White
House
account
in
the
tweet.
Is
Steven
Cheung
revealing
some
master
plan
or
is
this
just
an
attempt
at
damage
control?
For
example,
it
is
definitely
true
that
Sabrina
Carpenter
speaking
out
against
the
White
House’s
use
of
“Juno”
brought
more
attention
and
views
to
their
video.
It
was
also
one
of
the
biggest
ratios
in
Twitter
history;
those
were
eyes
of
judgment,
not
approval.
Considering
Trump’s
historically
low
approval
rating,
ICE’s
melting
approval
rating,
and
widespread
fallout
from
going
to
war
with
Iran
from
some
of
MAGA’s
most
ardent
supporters,
does
giving
celebrities
with
millions
of
devoted
fans
an
opportunity
to
voice
their
dissatisfaction
with
policies
home
and
abroad
really
help
the
government’s
cause?
That’s
a
pretty
hard
sell.
Two
things.
Today,
we
are
all
Kesha
fans:
Second,
let’s
all
welcome
