The son of Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, who is being held hostage by Israel, explains how his father is being starved, abused, tortured & denied medical treatment.
Didn't this guy end his term as Chicago mayor in disgrace because his out of control cops murdered a teenager and covered it up? That goes strangely unmentioned in the 500 msm profiles he's goten over last few months.
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.

this entire thing is crazy to me because i was THERE on floor seats listening to macklemore’s speech and he didn’t say anything offensive at all. and everyone at metlife cheered for him. it wasn’t until pink and zionists saw it online when it became a big thing.
@airyxmusic Slaves weren’t doing sex work, they were trafficked & raped. And many of us are forced to “consent” to our jobs out of necessity. Sex work IS objectively work. Not all work is empowering, much of it isn’t. All work is selling your labor & the body that produces it to some level.
“Businesses have every right to decide who they platform” — unless they live in one of many states in which ADL has helped pass legislation penalizing any businesses that decide they don’t want to platform the Israeli government.
All the acts that dropped out (except maybe Finneas) are not rich. As a matter of fact they probably made more money touring with Ed than they have ever made in their lives. That didn't stop them from doing the right thing. @edsheeran is worth half a billion and a coward
@skyler_higley When I was little I thought ppl were saying “Jesus Marion Joseph” bc that was his full name (they were saying ‘Jesus, Mary, and Joseph’)
Its impossible to get help from @Uber! I was sent a gift card that is unusable bc I need a uber money account (WHAT?! WHY?! What even is that!?) & that isn’t available in the currency I was gifted the card!
Why require another account to use an uber gift card!! WTF
It’s impossible to speak to anyone but a robot, impossible to get a refund, or redeem the gift card, so they basically stole €100 from my mom. Why sell a gift card in a currency that can’t use it!? Why have a separate money account to use a function OF THE APP!?
