Macklemore is donating his entire $1 million salary from Ed Sheeran's tour to organizations supporting Palestine and is inviting Robert Kraft, who blocked him from performing at Gillette Stadium, to match the donation.
“Whatever we disagree about, perhaps we can agree on this: Palestinian lives are worth protecting. A Palestinian life is no less valuable than any other life on this earth.
That is what this has always been about. Not me. Not a tour. Not the headlines or the controversy. It is about Palestinians right to freedom, dignity and safety in their own homeland. I want to center the parents carrying their children into hospitals without the basic resources to treat them, and the physicians, paramedics, journalists and aid workers who keep going back in. I want to center the organizers and activists who have paid real costs for standing with Palestine. Their risk is of a far different order than mine.
Palestinians have lived for decades without basic rights and should not have to wait another day to be free. That is where my focus will remain. I will continue to stand with the Palestinian people and their fight for liberation. When the news cycle moves on, which it will, don't move with it.

Finneas has dropped out of Ed Sheeran's tour alongside fellow openers Aaron Rowe, Lukas Graham and Beoga in solidarity with Macklemore.
"Artists must not be silenced when they speak up for the oppressed.
I have decided to withdraw from my upcoming tour dates with Ed Sheeran. I stand with Palestine and its people," Finneas wrote in a statement supporting Macklemore, who was dropped from the tour after making "Free Palestine" speeches on stage.

Cory Booker has had enough. He’s exposing the chair for giving Republicans extra time while shutting down Democrats.
Booker just took the gloves off. 🔥
The entire back-and-forth is extremely tense.

En EEUU, un racista contrató a unos trabajadores latinos para que le cercaran su patio con costosas vallas de madera... pero cuando terminaron el trabajo, llamó a ICE para que les deportaran y ahorrarse pagarles.
Sin embargo, no salió como el racista esperaba, los trabajadores eran legales, volvieron a su casa y le arrancaron valla por valla de madera en su cara, deshaciendo el trabajo. Puro karma.
BREAKING: Fox News reportedly FIRED Maria Bartiromo after she leaked confidential internal messages to the Trump White House.
According to Status, Fox executives had instructed staff not to amplify Trump’s latest debunked 2020 election conspiracy theories. Bartiromo allegedly forwarded that guidance directly to the White House—violating her employment agreement.
She apparently viewed herself as a Trump informant first and a journalist second.
@TeriCastilloD5 The las Palmas area need help! There are a lot of elderly that live in this area and I have not seen any CPS trucks. This is unacceptable
Holy shit. Something is happening in Texas.
Trump won it by 40%, but Dems drew a crowd of over 2,750 in deep-red Bee County, more than the 2,606 votes Kamala Harris received in the ENTIRE COUNTY.

BREAKING: Ontario Premier Doug Ford just announced that "everything is on the table" and they are prepared to attack "Deep Red States" with everything they can, including cutting off electricity and critical minerals.
Trump just screwed over his base big time!
"Everything needs to be on the table. We need to use Canada's many points of leverage to create maximum impact, targeting deep red states and making sure that America's economy feels the pain. And make no mistake, Americans are already feeling the pain. Canada did not start this fight, but we're prepared to win it. As for the electricity, everything's on the table. Critical minerals, everything's on the table."
WHO IS SHE?
Julie Falcon. 18. Singer, songwriter, producer. Berklee College of Music.
Before the Savannah Bananas and the Firefighters even took the field at Wrigley, she stole the show.
No vocal gymnastics. No statement. Just the anthem.

Until they all come home. 🇺🇸
Rosie O’Donnell has lived rent-free in Trump’s head for nearly 20 years. She knows how to shatter his ego psychologically better than anyone on Earth.

There’s a part of Jon Ossoff’s Atlanta rally everyone missed, and it may have been the most powerful moment of the entire night.
“I’ve got two little girls at home. Eva’s four and Lila’s one… But this isn’t the world I want to leave them.”
Then he put America’s broken priorities into one devastating sentence:
“We’ve amassed enough firepower to end the world a thousand times over, but we can’t summon the will to guarantee health care and pre-K.”
And then came the line every parent will feel in their bones:
“When Eva’s old enough to ask me why I let this happen, I’m determined to answer truthfully…
THAT I DIDN’T.”
🔥🔥🔥
This is the entire damn fight.
