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.

This is why you can cry about me as much as you’d like. Your emotional support apartheid state will be held accountable one day for its genocide of the Palestinians.
@realBrandonGill Your wife’s father, who cheated on his wife and committed federal campaign finance crimes the same year he presided over a Christian college, was born in India.
In the United States of America, billionaire stadium owners should not be able to silence artists because they speak out on political issues.
Today it is the genocide in Gaza. What's next?
If they can silence one artist, they can silence anyone.
I stand by this even more following Ed Sheeran's weak bs post today.
10 years ago I was the centrist fence-sitting final boss.
I get it Ed.
I thought it made me enlightened, but looking back it was just cowardice. Too many things are too fucked rn to stay silent or neutral.
All of Ed Sheeran’s openers have now withdrawn from the Looper Tour. Please realize how big this is. This is what unity looks like. Billionaires are terrified of people realizing how strong they can be when we come together for a cause. Continue speaking out. Support the new artists that are deciding to put their careers at risk to take this stance.
Great to meet my friend Hasan Piker at Manifiesta, a festival organised by the Belgian Workers Party.
Hasan is still banned from the UK - an absurd decision that must be reversed, now.
Well done to Hasan for refusing to be quiet in the face of genocide & apartheid!
told you the israel advocacy orgs would hit the venues hard. its quite remarkable how much they exercise control over free expression.
being for palestinian emancipation is the moral majority position, and yet, corporations still cave to these ridiculous pressure campaigns.
Bari Weiss murdered Refaat Alareer by falsely painting him as a terrorist with her platforms.
The IDF acted on her words, killing the poet professor and his entire family.
Nah. You totally waited. Waited until there were no functional hospitals, until the death toll rose in the thousands, waited until they were dropping white phosphorus on civil population, you just waited....did NOTHING to stop the genocide.
aipac boss call was made. they are unanimous in their hatred of me, and i welcome their hatred. if you’re a defender of israel’s genocide, of its occupation, of its child killing spree - then your boos mean nothing to me
