What happened to me is bigger than one artist or one stage. When the billionaire class can decide which voices are allowed on stage and which ones are too dangerous to hear, everyone should be paying attention.
So we're going on tour. All proceeds will benefit organizations supporting the Palestinian people and movement.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
We have launched https://t.co/FGNM1BZkOG - a searchable database of pro-Israel political money in US politics.
It includes:
11,168 named donors, searchable + employer
523 members of Congress and the money behind each one
Senate + house votes on resolutions to block arms transfers
165 candidates the network built fundraising pages for
105 recipient committees in the Democracy Engine conduit data, every row linked to its FEC filing.
Full methodology, sources, and a member-by-member reconciliation
How we got it:
One of these networks misconfigured its website/ left its front door open, and a memeber of our team was able to walk in and take the info. They've patched it since, but not before the data was downloaded and secured.
We encourage you all to look up your own representatives.

We have almost doubled our forest area, conserved our wildlife, are close to being carbon negative, have almost 100% renewable electricity, and are already shifting to EVs. We havenโt exploited nature like many others have. Yet every year, we are among the victims of global warming.
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel.ย To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect.ย Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracleโs business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.ย
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still havenโt given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldnโt move forward.ย Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
I renew my appeal for an end to the ongoing violence against the Palestinian civilian population in the West Bank, and I urgently call on the international community to work toward advancing the two-state solution, for a just and lasting peace.
Messi delivered that World Cup campaign while his father was living his final days and a massive hate campaign was raging against him. Yet, he never said a single bad word about anyone. He carried his pain in silence and still chose kindness๐ฅฒ
