Hollywood celebrities jumped on social media Wednesday and fired off a series of emotional reactions, calls to “fight,” and cataclysmic predictions in response to the news that Justice Anthony Kennedy had announced his retirement from the Supreme Court.

“ok, dems. this is real. all y’all paying attention? this is how you lose a country,” actor Don Cheadle said on Twitter. “all of our rights are in the balance. urge your leadership to resist when trump attempts to appoint the next swamp thing out of the pez dispenser or kiss it bye bye.”

Other stars, like Will & Grace actress Debra Messing, Westworld star Jeffrey Wright, and actor John Leguizamo urged their followers to “fight” and push back against what director Rob Reiner called “tyranny.”

President Trump on Wednesday graciously celebrated the news and announced his intentions to nominate a Constitutional originalist to replace Justice Kennedy before the midterm elections.

“We have a very excellent list of great, talented, highly educated, highly intelligent, hopefully, tremendous people. I think the list is very outstanding,” Trump said, referencing a list of 25 potential candidates to replace the longtime Justice.

Democrats need to show some and fight. What's the Constitution say about a President* who's under criminal investigation for conspiracy against the country and tampering with his own election nominating justices? https://t.co/U2qso78vjG — Jeffrey Wright (@jfreewright) June 27, 2018

Gorsuch isn’t a real justice. Trump lost popular vote by 3 million votes. Those things matter. Own your power. Wake up. Get in the streets. Organize & learn direct action. And remember: we don’t fight fascists to win; we fight them because they’re fascists. — rob delaney (@robdelaney) June 27, 2018

Every single institution or agency in our government is being dismantled by this administration. Congress, gone, SCOTUS, gone, the Executive branch, in the hands of a madman, the FBI, DOE, EPA, etc. etc. etc. And you thought it couldn’t happen here. — Bette Midler (@BetteMidler) June 27, 2018

Seems pretty straightforward, as @realdonaldtrump is under

investigation for collusion with

russia, and other criminal

activities, I suggest the next

president nominate our next

supreme court justice. pic.twitter.com/Ef10DE6ENO — moby XⓋX (@thelittleidiot) June 27, 2018

Hey hey, fuck off everyone who voted for Trump or didn’t vote at all. The SCOTUS is going to be a dumpster fire and it’s your fault and we’re going to have to live with that for the rest of our lives. 👏👏👏👏 — Kevin McHale (@druidDUDE) June 27, 2018
