@BTS_twt could never have even half the spine of any of the musical acts that dropped ed sheeran have, they are utterly shallow and stand for nothing, and its heartbreaking as a former fan that I realized this as late as I did
Ms. Rachel reveals she was warned she might lose partnerships and views for showing her support for Palestine:
“That doesn’t faze me because the kids gave me the platform. I’m going to stand with them no matter what. People on the ground in Gaza are risking their lives all the time to help kids. I can do it from Manhattan.”

All three remaining opening acts and Ed Sheeran’s touring band have announced that they are dropping out of the remaining dates of his ‘Loop’ tour in solidarity with Palestine and Macklemore.
to everyone (specially armytwt) who said artists speaking up against genocide wouldn’t change a thing: do you see what’s happening today? macklemore has been speaking up from the beginning, look what’s happening now. if everyone used their platforms like this imagine the impact.
All of Ed Sheeran’s openers have now withdrawn from the Looper Tour.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.
Seeing small artists risk their livelihood by standing up for what’s right makes BTS look even worse considering they have nothing to lose by speaking out on the CB issue. Just two cowardly men bringing down a group’s legacy.
@_ayandamay@Ticketmaster If refunds are being offered based on political speech then the same standard should apply to everyone Consistency matters and artists should not be punished for speaking up for Palestinian lives Free Palestine 🇵🇸
