Full statement www.instagram.com/p/DdRdsy0m2H...
This statement made me cry - out of saddness, and embarassment and shame that people bow down to Kraft.
Screengrab from Instagram: macklemore • Last Monday, in the middle of all the media attention surrounding Pink and what I said at MetLife, Ed told me that Robert Kraft called him. We were scheduled to play Gillette Stadium later this month, which is owned by the Kraft Group. Ed told me that Kraft said I would not be allowed to perform in his stadium. Ed also told me that Kraft...

Celebrating my birthday by lying perfectly still on the floor - Happy Birthday to me :(

I know today is "just a day" and the roses at the rose garden I wanted to visit will still be there tomorrow.

“Maine Democratic Party leadership is calling on Graham Platner to withdraw as the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate.”
MAINE+ Democrats Statement from Maine Democratic Party Leadership on Allegations Against Graham Platner Augusta, Maine - "Maine Democratic Party leadership takes seriously our responsibility to hold every candidate who seeks to represent our state to the highest standard. Over the past several weeks, multiple women have made serious, credible allegations against Graham Platner. Today's statements take those allegations even further. Maine Democratic Party leadership is calling on Graham Platner to withdraw as the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate. The Maine Democratic Party leadership stands with women and survivors, and that principle does not bend based on party affiliation. We respect the women who made the hard decision to come forward. Speaking up is often costly. We are entrusted with deciding who represents our values and who carries our banner. That responsibility requires judgment, leadership, and a willingness to act when circumstances demand it. This Senate race comes at a pivotal moment in the struggle against a government, supported by Senator Collins, that serves the interests of the wealthy and powerful at the expense of ordinary Maine people. It is essential that we refocus this campaign on that struggle". Charlie Dingman, Chair Imke Schessler, Vice Chair Devon Murphy-Anderson, Executive Director

Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand have called on Graham Platner to "immediately withdraw"
sahilkapur.bsky.social Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur.bsky.social · Jul 6
Schumer/Gillibrand: “The allegations reported today are incredibly disturbing – violence, abuse and sexual assault are absolutely unacceptable.

“Graham Platner needs to immediately withdraw… The DSCC will not invest in the Maine Senate race if Platner remains on the ballot.”

Yes, images are loading slowly right now! Bsky engineers are working on diagnosing and fixing the problem as we speak, but the good news is that images generally load after a few seconds—they just aren't as snappy as they should be

The US is hosting the World Cup and just turned away Africa’s top referee at the airport 3 days before kickoff because of where he was born.

Omar Artan had a valid visa. He had a historic assignment. They didn’t care.

Disgraceful.

Tried to research the lineup for Mojo Boston Music Festival 5/9/26 City Hall Plaza-I see DJ Em-any other women performing? Looks like only men performing. With all local talent why is lineup not more diverse?

1. Major alert: Trump's anti-trans co-author Moti Gorin will be presenting with Kaltiala and Montante. These are conversion therapy advocates with intense anti-trans ties to hate groups around the world.

Now they'll be teaching pediatricians THIS FRIDAY.

? Does salsa (this song) fall into this category of a "strong downbeat" or does salsa have many downbeats?
