I looked into the billionaire stadium owners who pressured Ed Sheeran to cancel Macklemore and found they were all financially linked to the Israeli military.
It is bigger than Robert Kraft.

Never allow them to attempt to erase this stain on the collective West. This is not a scene from a sciFy movie of a dystopian future but the horror of a racist genocide still ongoing in Gaza. How opposition to this can be condemned answers question of Western civilization.

They told you the Vietnamese were a threat to American freedom.
In 1965. A country of rice farmers. On the other side of the planet.
They told you Grenada was a threat. Population: 91,000.
They told you Panama was a threat. They named the invasion Operation Just Cause, as if naming the justice of a thing makes it just.
They told you Iraq had weapons that could reach American cities.
They told you. And told you. And told you.
The "threat" was always urgent. Always existential. Always requiring immediate military response.
And the countries that were threatened by the response, the ones where the bombs fell, where the governments changed, where the children grew up in the wreckage of American strategic interests:
They were the aggressor.
The spell is not sophisticated.
It just requires that you never look at the map and ask who is actually surrounded by whose military bases.

In 1989, a documentary was filmed in Gaza documenting Israel's abduction&
imprisonment of Palestinians, many of them children. 37 years later, Israel continues the same tactics of torture and imprisonment against Palestinians.

The endless wars, the genocide in Gaza, and the Epstein files should have woken people up, but anyone who studies history knows most people don’t care until it impacts their material conditions.
The question now is do you want to shame them back into the Republican party or do you want to build a real movement to change the corrupt regime that we are living under.
Democrats are set to take power again and anyone who is truly awake knows they won’t do anything to change the failed status quo because their party serves the same capitalist and imperialist system as the GOP.
Change is never coming from Washington, DC. It can only come from the people, which is why they have spent decades turning us against each other.
I’ve been right about Trump and the GOP since 2016 and I’ve been right about the complicit Democrats since 2020, but I don’t want to be right anymore.
I want to live in a better world and I understand that better world is not possible unless we stop fighting each other and start rising up together against the corporate duopoly.

🚨Heartbreaking: A footage from Gaza, retrieved from the archives, showing Palestinian children at an elementary school before the Israeli genocide.
The children of Gaza have now been without education for a fourth consecutive year due to the ongoing genocidal war on Gaza. More than 20,000 students have been killed, 90% of Gaza’s schools have been partially or totally destroyed, and many of the remaining schools have been turned into shelters.

American musician Dave Matthews raised protest signs during a Dave Matthews Band show, urging an end to the “genocide” and violence against children in Gaza.

Macklemore’s “Hind’s Hall” SURGES on iTunes Charts
The anthem has climbed to #3 on the U.S. iTunes songs chart following Macklemore’s removal from Ed Sheeran’s tour.
His 2012 hit “Thrift Shop” has also jumped back into the Top 10 at #6.
The backlash isn’t SILENCING Macklemore. It’s sending people straight to his music.

Macklemore 🇮🇪 honoured by artists in Gaza 🇵🇸
A mural of Macklemore painted on a building destroyed by 🇺🇸 made bombs dropped by 🇮🇱
And the words:
‘Thank you’
‘For using your voice’
‘For Palestine 🇵🇸’
👏
Free Palestine 🇵🇸

The complicity is undeniable.
"Germany and the United States supply 99% of the weapons exported to Israel... They could stop this conflict overnight if they stopped the weapons killing Palestinians." - UN Special Rapporteur Prof. Ben Saul

In case you've been living under a rock, here's why all aid to the murderous genocidal state must stop - a position the American people already support.
And why our corrupt bipartisan system -that keeps it going - must go.

The biggest lie America ever sold was that bad presidents are the problem.
As if the next one will cancel the wars, empty the cages, and dismantle the empire.
The problem is not one man.
It is a system that turns every man into the same thing once he sits in that chair.
Only the people can change the chair.
No one in it ever will.

The Real Reasons why Gaddafi was ki!!ed
1. Libya had no electricity bills, electricity came free of charge to all citizens.
2. There were no interest rates on loans, the banks were state-owned, the loan of citizens by law 0%.
3. Gaddafi promised not to buy a house for his parents until everyone in Libya owns a home.
4. All newlywed couples in Libya received 60,000 dinars from the government & because of that they bought their own apartments & started their families.
5. Education & medical treatment in Libya are free. Before Gaddafi there were only 25% readers, 83% during his reign
6. If Libyans wanted to live on a farm, they received free household appliances, seeds and livestock.
7. If they cannot receive treatment in Libya, the state would fund them $2300+ accommodation & travel for treatment abroad.
8. If you bought a car, the government finances 50% of the price.
9. The price of gasoline became $ 0.14 per liter.
10. Libya had no external debt, and reserves were $150 Billion (now frozen worldwide)
11. Since some Libyans can't find jobs after school, the government will pay the average salary when they can't find a job.
12. Part of oil sales in Libya are directly linked to the bank accounts of all citizens.
13. The mother who gave birth to the child will receive $5000
14. 40 loaves of bread cost $0.15.
15. Gaddafi has implemented the world's biggest irrigation project known as the "BIG MAN PROJECT" to ensure water availability in the desert.

Glad you asked. They’re unnecessarily contributing to the rapid death of our planet. One AI prompt costs us around 16oz of water. That translates into about 163 billion gallons of water per year. Only 3% of our planet’s water is freshwater, and only .5% of that water is accessible. So those bullshit AI 80s pictures are quite literally killing us.

One billionaire couple owns almost all the water in California.
In 1994, the Resnicks secretly seized control of California’s public water supply.
Now their companies use 150 billion gallons every year while working class people suffer under drought conditions.

"I don't pick sides" is a fallacy when there's a massive power imbalance and a clear aggressor. If your husband is abusing your child and you do nothing, you're not neutral in that scenario, and when your kid grows up you'll probably be blamed as much as the father.
A modern military force hammering a giant concentration camp full of colonized people using high-tech weapons of mass murder with the help of your tax dollars is not a "war" that you get to be "neutral" towards. It's a genocide, and you're either for it or against it. There is no comfortable third option where you get to avoid picking a side and also avoid looking like an asshole.
