.@edsheeran I brought my wife and two daughters to MetLife Friday because we are huge fans of yours. We arrived early, I spent $180 on two sweatshirts for them, watched the first two opening acts and were having a great time.

Then Macklemore decided to turn your concert into his political rally.

When he started chanting “Free Palestine” and pushing his clearly uneducated version of the Israel/Gaza conflict, my daughters looked at me completely confused. I had brought them to an Ed Sheeran concert, not to have an opening act lecture them about Middle East politics.

After Friday night, I started looking into Macklemore’s history. What I found, including his repeated use of antisemitic tropes, made the whole thing even worse.

So I took my family and walked inside alongside hundreds of your other fans. As we were walking in, even the MetLife security guards were rolling their eyes at what was happening on stage.

We waited until Macklemore was finished before returning to our seats. Then we watched your show, which was phenomenal.

I left Friday hoping maybe this had caught you and your team off guard.

Then tonight you allowed it to happen again.

You knew exactly what Macklemore had done the night before, and you gave him the stage again.

Friday might have been Macklemore’s decision. Saturday was yours.

You have a lot of Jewish fans who love your music, buy your albums and merchandise, and bring their kids to your concerts.

Tonight, you lost four of them. And I suspect plenty more.

@VerizonSupport Send a DM? I've spent countless hours on the phone and chat with you. If you wanted to help me, someone would have done it already. The only way to get anyone to assist it but putting it out in the open

@Verizon curious to know if anyone who was baited and switched to new hardware has everything working for them? I’m so weeks in and continue to have weekly issues….

[Bari @BARIheather]

@stonecoldken @Verizon I wouldn't upgrade anything - I've been stuck dealing with them for almost six weeks. Something off with software and hareware.

[Bari @BARIheather]

@VerizonSupport is a joke. I just spent two hours on chat and still have no resolution. Was waiting for agent "Jessica" to issue a credit and schedule a technician after an hour trying to troubleshoot - 20 minutes with no response from @VerizonSupport

What's a "double-track outage?" In this case, it's when both tracks of the @MTA @LIRR Main Line are taken out of service for critical #infrastructure upgrades over the course of a single weekend. #MTA #LIRR #EssentialWorkers #LongIsland #Phase3 🏗️👷‍♀️👷‍♂️🚧

@JanieandJack Need assistance. Emailed tradeout to swap gift card and I’ve been waiting 12 business days for my credit via email. Customer service didn’t process for 5 days and now wants me to wait even longer. Please help.

[Bari @BARIheather]

@JanieandJack trying to email about issue and it’s not going through. Please help!

[Bari @BARIheather]

@CittanuovaNY Glad to know you didn’t close down... maybe updated voicemail that you’re closed for the week would be nice?

[Bari @BARIheather]

@SerafinaGroup @SerafinaEH Maybe change you website to reflect that you’re not open yet... website says spring hours and you’re open, but you’re actually closed #disappointed #FalseAdvertising #unacceptable
