Summary

Beastie Boys co-founder known as Mike D. In 2018 he told Vulture he wants his children to experience diversity and, under Trump-era politics, saw “so much upside” in “breaking down the whole idea of nationalism.” In 2007 he backed Live Earth, biodiesel touring, and climate action. Public record is liberal and environmental, not a DEI or identity-politics campaign.
