Ed Sheeranās fans came for a concert, not performative, biased and hateful anti-Israel āactivismā from his opener, Macklemore.
Imagine being a Jewish or Israeli fan who came with family or friends to enjoy the show, only to be confronted with this hostility from the stage. Or feeling so unwelcome by the opening act that you leave early.
This isnāt new for Macklemore. He has a record of demonizing Israel and Israelis, falsely accusing Israel of genocide and engaging in antisemitic rhetoric and behavior.
This is completely unacceptable.
.@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 āFree Palestineā 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 Macklemoreās 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 Macklemoreās 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.

This is, in my view a very accurate assessment by @hoffman_bruce.
āā¦a quarter-century after the epochal 9/11 attacks, is a movement that has defied predictions of its demise. It has franchised itself across continents, recruited fighters born after 9/11, and sustained an ideology compelling enough to inspire violence from North Africa to Southeast Asia. Protecting the American homeland has been a success. Defeating the movement that made 9/11 possible has notāat least, not yet.ā
My assessment of the war on terror's outcome & the terrorist threat today is now live. Thanks to @ManhattanInst for inviting me to contribute this special edition of City Journal. https://t.co/cN1G8oFj7X
A more abstruse, confusing, and pathetic explanation would be difficult to imagine. This is exactly why so many have lost so much trust and faith in traditional media reporting https://t.co/04vf4s3Irn
China, Russia, and Iran have divided Americans using bots on social media for years.
This wonāt stop until social media companies face consequences for allowing the bots to exist. They could get rid of them today but they donāt want to devalue their companies. Itās time to hold them accountable.
9/11 was a terrorist attack.
The radical left (Canadian Broadcasting Company) is trying to rewrite history, but there is nothing controversial, complicated, or unclear about this.
9/11 was terrorism.
9/11 is NO longer considered a TERRORIST attack ⦠according to CBC Canada.
A staff memo from Egyptian-born standards chief Basem Boshra tells journalists: do not call 9/11 a āterrorist attack.ā
Use this instead: āthe hijackings led to passenger jet crashes in Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania and Manhattan. The World Trade Center was destroyed.ā
When 9/11 canāt be called terrorism, youāve surrendered the truth to Islamic offense.
If true, completely reprehensible. Shame on you @CBS.
āā¦it is a deliberate effort to undermine the fundamental truth of what happened that day in direct service to Islamismā¦ā
Morally vacuous and lacking even a sliver of common sense much less decency. āCBC defends memo telling reporters to avoid the 9/11 terrorism labelā https://t.co/gO0ZgKmC1L
āWords matter, and so does the willingness to draw a line when legitimate debate gives way to antisemitic tropes.
We commend @ParamountPics for speaking clearly and refusing to allow prejudice to masquerade as political or corporate criticism. At a time when antisemitism is too often minimized, rationalized or repackaged in more socially acceptable language, this kind of moral clarity matters.
Invoking Israel in an issue where it is completely irrelevant is a textbook case of obsession and demonization. Paramount was right to call it out.
More leaders and institutions should have the courage to call antisemitism what it is, regardless of who is spreading it.ā

DSA is out here celebrating Fidel Castro ā a dictator who jailed dissidents, silenced the press, and ran a police state for decades.
That's who they are, and theyāre proud of it.
You don't get to call yourself a champion of the oppressed while praising the man who crushed the Cuban people for generations.
I didn't come to the Hennepin County Attorney's Office because I needed a new challenge. I came because I believed in the mission. That was forty years ago.
I prosecuted murder, sexual assault, fraud, and juvenile crime. I supervised teams. I built cases that sent violent offenders away for decades. I never left, because the work never stopped mattering.

Ask yourself, do you want another Hennepin County Attorney beholden to a political party? Do endorsements by politicians really sway you into voting for the chief prosecutor? What do Angie Craig or Jacob Frey know about this candidate's work?
This is why I have victims and police officers supporting me--they know my work. They know my ethics. They know me.
I promise to depoliticize the Hennepin County Attorney's Office from the minute I take the oath of office.
Vote on or before August 11th for me so I can do just that.

This morning, AIPAC was featured on the @nytimes podcast The Daily. The NYT did not ask us for comment or to verify any of the āfacts.ā As a result, listeners were subjected to several inaccuracies, omissions, and mischaracterizations about our work and our members. Below are just some of these false claims:
NEW ENDORSEMENT!
Greg Weber, retired Eden Prairie Chief of Police:
Many of us had the great fortune of working with Diane in her role as a prosecutor in Hennepin County. Diane's well earned reputation is that of firm but fair, comprehensive, ethical, and sincerely caring about the people of Hennepin County.
Diane has always been accessible, willing to listen, and considerate of others.
Her application of the law, adherence to the law, and willingness to make tough decisions while retaining responsibility makes her the perfect choice for Hennepin County Attorney.
Milton Friedman:
āDonāt look at what the proponents of one system or another say are their intentions. Look at what the actual results are.ā
āSocialism, which means government ownership and operation of means of production, has appealed to high-minded, fine people, people of idealistic views, because of the supposed objectives of socialism.ā
āBut you have to ask the question: does the system, no matter what its proponents say, produce those results? Once you look at the results, itās crystal clear that they do not. Social injustice is clearly greatest where you have central control.ā
Sen. John Fetterman tells Zohran Mamdani to "fix a pothole," blasting the NYC mayoral candidate for weighing in on foreign policy:
āNow you have the mayor of a city. Youāre a mayor, dude. Youāre a mayor. You can fix a pothole. You can take out the trash. But you canāt order people to arrest anybody any more than I could. I couldnāt have him arrested if he came to Pennsylvania. Itās a joke, and heās a clown. He also said that Netanyahu is not welcome in New York. You canāt say that any more than I can say, āMayor, youāre not welcome in Pennsylvania.ā So sit down. I know youāre a clown, and youāre just going to pander to the fringe because thatās part of your base. I know youāre angry at Netanyahu because he killed a lot of people you admire, whether itās Sinwar, Nasrallah, or Qaani in Iran. Heāll only criticize the prime minister of Israel, but he never criticizes Hamas. He never criticizes Hezbollah or Iran. Iāve never heard the mayor condemn Iran for killing 30,000 or 40,000 of its own young people who were simply asking for democracy in their country.ā
