My girlfriend and I attended the Ed Sheeran concert last evening in our company suite at MetLife with a number of guests; 34 to be exact (36 total attendees). I am not Jewish, however some of my guests are Jewish. I have never been more embarrassed, and shocked in my entire life. @macklemore is a complete clown for pulling the nonsense he pulled at BOTH “Ed Sheeran” concerts (Friday & Saturday evening). I have always been a Macklemore fan, but after his political stunt, I cannot support him or his music any longer. When you go WOKE, you have to be prepared to lose fans. After it happened on Friday, it should have immediately been stopped. This antisemitic behavior reflects so poorly on you @edsheeran .
Very sadly you were complicit in allowing it to continue on Saturday evening. When I go to a concert, I am going to hear amazing music. I am NOT going to hear “Free Palestine” rants. Macklemore spread anti-Zionist, and antisemitic propaganda. He also accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza. What does any of this have to do with music ? Why do I need to hear this BS at a concert that I’m supposedly going to, to hear amazing music ? If Macklemore feels so strongly about Palestine, then maybe he should donate all of his tour earnings to them ? You were sensational Ed. You seem like such an amazing individual; someone so cool and down to earth. Someone that I would love to actually hang out with. It’s a shame that you would allow someone else’s performance to tarnish your amazing image. I just don’t get it. I saw this same nonsense a few years ago when @U2 , who I happen love, were trying to compare Michelle Obama to Harriet Tubman, and other notable women of African American descent. Why can’t music be about music ? I’m so sick of the attempted “indoctrination” of audiences that attend these concerts. There were young Jewish children in your audience last evening. How do you think they felt hearing these rants about Palestine ? It’s completely uncalled for. As a fan, I am prepared to stop attending concerts for good if this deplorable behavior continues. I will merely listen to the music I like on XM Satellite radio. What’s right is right !! What do you think about this @israeliamerican ? America is a free country. We are free to speak our minds. Maybe Macklemore thinks he is free to spread his propaganda and lies ? I am also free to spend my hard earned money how I see fit, and it won’t be on any more WOKE artists. You’re better than this, Ed Sheeran. Do what’s right here.

.@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.

I’m disgusted with this malignant narcissist, sociopath, pathological liar, conman and snake oil salesman, along with his Republican sycophants and brainwashed cult following MAGA morons, destroying our Country, Republic, Constitution, Democracy, Freedoms and Humanity. 🤬

@CrosbyBaseball ...especially after striking him out on a previous pitch the Braves failed (again) to challenge

[Lindsay Crosby, big baseball guy @CrosbyBaseball]

Good job by Ozzie Albies to recognize that if he starts the rundown of Arraez, Turner's almost certainly scoring from third.

Arraez stopped short of 2nd because he was TRYING to get thrown out, because as long as Turner crosses the plate first, the run counts.

There are still way too many of us afraid to publicly state the truth about Donald Trump. It’s understandable bcuz the truth about Trump is unthinkably horrible. But to defeat Trump/Trumpism, the truth must be said.👇

Trump is a Russian asset.

Trump is a sociopath.

Trump is a fascist.

Trump is humanly incapable of telling the truth.

Trump is America’s enemy - He committed crimes trying to overthrow an American election, and he’s actively now trying to sabotage the 2026 elections.

Goodnight 🌙

Trump was not invited to the Obama Presidential Center dedication ceremony. First time in history a sitting president was not invited. Thoughts?

[Erin Molan @Erin_Molan]

I’m not Jewish. I’m an Aussie Catholic girl. But this is the kind of chutzpah I absolutely LOVE.

This woman has it.

@Steph_benshimol went viral confronting Zohran Mamdani inside a Jewish bookstore in Borough Park Brooklyn.

But what impressed me most wasn’t simply that she spoke up. It was that she kept speaking when the room seemed to turn against her.

She was pushed aside while Mamdani was welcomed with smiles, selfies and gifts.

And THAT is the part I couldn’t stop thinking about.

Why did so many people inside appear to embrace Mamdani?

And what happened to Stephanie AFTER the viral moment?

I wanted to hear it from her directly.

Stephanie Benshimol joins me. And she has a LOT to say.

Ritchie went back out for the seventh and walked his first batter of the day, but also got one more strikeout, giving him an absurd 15 before being replaced by Danny Young.

Finished with 20 whiffs (50%), including nine on the FOUR-SEAMER (!), and a 52% CSW
