btw Kanye did a song Heil Hitler and no one stepped in to oppose his tour(s), which is ongoing. In fact, Kanye is scheduled to perform at one of the stadiums Macklemore has been stopped from being at.
Rapper Macklemore has been dropped from Ed Sheeran’s tour after he made a “Free Palestine” speech on stage earlier this month

The symbolism is extraordinary. You are Israeli citizens who exposed brutality by the Israeli state using testimony from Israeli soldiers, and the government’s response is to make you no longer an Israeli.
Israel’s Culture Minister Miki Zohar said he will work to revoke citizenship of filmmakers behind Gaza documentary “NAZA,” which won a Venice Film Festival prize. Zohar called the film, which alleges deliberate Israeli killings in Gaza, “vile” and “constitutes treason.”

Ah a shared bond of Islamophobia, surveillance, the patriot act. And then Iraq where we bombed the shit of my future family. Let’s not forget this person was working for the CIA at the time. What a joke
But that feeling of a shared bond among all Americans in the early weeks after the attack is something I’m so glad I got to experience. Because it’s the thing that I think we’re missing the most today.

I had no idea what this human piece of garbage did to a Black jogger while he was mayor.
Every new Fetterman pants-shitting is treated as evidence that he is now a bad person. But long before this & long before his stroke, he chased an unarmed Black jogger in his truck, detained him with a shotgun, and continued to insist he had done the right thing. That somehow wasn’t disqualifying.

There’s such an easy answer to this “gotcha” question and it’s “Sports are inherently unsafe and unfair and it’s ridiculous to single out trans athletes when we allow 150 pound linebackers to go up against 260 pound linemen in freshman football on a daily basis. Let kids play with their friends.”

Israel was forced to halt operations at five of its six seawater desalination plants due to an extreme algae bloom caused by the discharge of untreated sewage into the Mediterranean from Gaza—after Israel destroyed the sewage system there to trigger a water crisis.

This is the largest drop in the country.
Arizona is becoming the epicenter of a nationwide SNAP collapse.
Their people are using food banks more than SNAP. This is artificial food scarcity.
