Yeah, it's definitely a DEI plot that prize-winning histories are often about minorities.
Couldn't be that those works represent the cutting-edge research into fields that *haven't* been mined to death like Great White Men Histories and also have compelling underdog stories people love.
Nah. DEI.

The entire point of the complaints about Jeffries meeting with Kushner was that he had no official role and there was no official reason for meeting with him.
But Trump is actually the president. That's a significant difference that should be visible to the naked eye if you're not insane.

It's hard to believe that letting him get away with it once only encouraged him to do it again.

The White House Press Corps should've walked out as soon as the Trump regime banned the Associated Press for calling the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of Mexico."
That was Feb 15, 2025. The first month of Trump Term II.
Not surprising that abandoning principles for weak acquiescence led to more abuse.

Trump: "If we lose $50 billion a year with a country, and we say 'we're not going to trade with you anymore,' we don't lose $50 billion a year. It's very simple. Right?"

One of the coolest things about people who don't have a lot of power taking a principled stand is it lays bare the complete cowardice of the ones who actually *do* have power when they fail to do even a fraction as much.
Unlike Macklemore, these support acts don’t have big followings and they are giving up their chance to perform to stadiums to push back against censorship, not of themselves but of a fellow artist. Respect.
The Irish musicians, Beoga, who play alongside Ed Sheeran, have withdrawn from Sheeran’s tour.
This is the statement they published on Instagram:

New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran.
Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.
