Bette Midler releases updated protest version of 'All You Fascists Bound to Lose'

Bette Midler released an updated version of Woody Guthrie's protest song "All You Fascists Bound to Lose". She modernized the lyrics and positioned the remake as a call to action ahead of the U.S. midterm elections. Social posts highlight a Beaches scene recreation with Barbara Hershey, and include explicit anti-ICE and protest messaging. The release matters because a high-profile artist is using a classic protest anthem to mobilize voters and amplify political activism.
