Two things can be true at the same time.
I support Macklemore right to say FREE PALESTINE and speaking out for Palestinian lives.
I also absolutely condemn his antisemitism. His past grotesque Jewish caricature was indefensible and I think needs to be looked at with what we are hearing now.

STOP SCROLLING
Why I’m sounding the alarm:
VoteSafe. org is run by Elon Musk’s America PAC, the same political operation working to turn out Republican voters in the midterms.
The site collects voter and political info, and allows your information to be shared or sold to business partners.

See this chart?
Workers’ share of the nation’s income is at the lowest it’s been since records began in 1947. Corporate profits’ share, on the other hand, is the highest it’s been since 1950.
This is why we must build back worker power.
