Ed Sheeran hoped to sidestep controversy with the removal of Macklemore from his tour over his pro-Palestine remarks. Instead, he sparked what one writer said could be a "turning point in pop culture complicity" with Israel.
Ed Sheeran Openers Quit Tour as Boycott Begins Over 'Silencing' of Macklemore's Palestine Speech

KAEPERNICK: The part that I hope people take away in this moment is what Robert Kraft and what they’re saying by denying Macklemore is they are openly colluding.
They also want people to know that if you take an action that they don’t agree with, they will come for you.

It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low.
