who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up

[𝓔𝓶 ♡ @emkenobi]

- reads from teleprompter
- immediately starts with October 7th
- still won’t call it a genocide
- says he doesn’t know enough about what’s happening
- makes no apology to Macklemore or addresses dropping him from the tour
- doesn’t mention where his donation will be going to
- doesn’t encourage anyone to donate
- won’t say Israel is the reason Gaza is suffering
- won’t say free Palestine
- only cries when he sees people showed up to the concert because that’s what he cares more about.

Fuck him.

This is straight up HR reading from a legally approved script before they lay you off energy. Having to read from a prompter about a moral position is CRAZY. Worst crisis PR I’ve seen in a long time.

Lucu sih ngelihat orang miskin saling ngebentur karna salah satunya ngotot ngebelain orang kaya. Tapi aku ga pernah ngelihat orang kaya yang ngotot ngebelain hak orang miskin, alih-alih ngebela, yang ada mereka nganggep suara orang miskin sebagai bad news yang ganggu mindfulness.

Can't believe Ed Sheeran tried to pull the "there's kids at my show" to the dude who's message was "stop killing kids"

[nour @sourflares]

people are dying and you’re worried about fuckass taylor swift’s reputation when she herself is guilty of complicit silence genuinely fuck you

[Zito @_Zeets]

“Aid in the region” means he’s donating to some Israeli charity as he always has.

[LH44(A) @LH44Fanpage8]

Lewis Hamilton left a comment on Macklemore post, Macklemore addressed what happened between him and Ed Sheeran and reaffirmed his continued support for Palestine

Lewis comment
"Thank you for using your voice, standing with you"

[Death by a Thousand Tweets @pittworldwide]

Shout out to singer Aaron Rowe.

Not even 200k Spotify listeners and only had one song scrape into the UK top 50 - and he’s just pulled out of the biggest opportunity of his career to stand up for what he believes.

If you find yourself saying
‘I’m not taking sides’
during a genocide, you are.
You most definitely are.

[Kae ‎‎‎ @Jolly_Blaziken]

As soon as the statement starts with some version of "both sides are suffering" I stop reading

[LPC @landpalestine]

love how Ed Sheeran in his statement said “I can’t cancel shows I have to pay the band!” and his band was like fuck you bud

[Kas with a K @sedderaside]

me liking all the posts dragging ed sheeran

[matt bernstein @mattxiv]

maybe the worst three sentences in the history of PR statements. what can you even say. free palestine

[barb 🇵🇸 @oldyellowfrick]

loving this. we still have hope in humanity apparently ❤️🇵🇸

[JO @withlovejohana]

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.

[Fiona Lali @fiona_lali]

What Macklemore has done is far beyond the rest of that list.

Its not just an instagram post. He used the largest stage possible, and then exposed, by name, the forces that sought to silence him.

We are so far past the point of 'raising awareness' through instagram stories.

[State of Palestine @Palestine_UN]

Real artists choose courage not complicity.

kemarin repost template save kalimantan save hutan, hari ini post video graduation hasil prompt ai, besok dukung data center AI di indo. lu semua emang manusia manusia kampang. just nuke this country atp.

[G.T @gingerrtom]

imagine throwing away a 13-year friendship just because your paymasters got upset.

[H @hellohalima]

Free Palestine, Free Sudan, Free Congo, Free all the oppressed ppl in the world. We are living in evil times where ppl think they can be apolitical and not take stances

[Princess♡ྀི🎀🌺🇸🇩 @imsoprettyylike]

Macklemore is a top 5 white man. In a world that dehumanizes Palestinians at every turn he has never wavered on Palestine. He even cancelled his UAE show over their funding of the RSF’s genocide in Sudan when Sudan barely gets spoken about. Genuinely a man of principle
