Ed Sheeran isn’t neutral—receipts confirm he’s complicit. This isn't about antisemitism—but about enabling Palestinian genocide. Even now, Kanye ‘pro Hitler’ West is playing at the same venues Macklemore was just cancelled from for saying Free Palestine.😐 www.qasimrashid.com/p/ed-sheeran...

Ed Sheeran Isn’t Neutral, He’s Complicit in Genocide
The cancellation of Macklemore is more than a free speech issue, it’s a litmus test of basic morality

Correct. This is about decades of corporate campaign donations buying warped political policies that angered people enough to elect a madman.

Maybe that’s the good news about Trump: he’s fundamentally unserious, with no interest or skill in building an actually functional autocratic state. He’s a mentally ill man playing with the USA the way a disturbed kid tortures a puppy, with no idea of an end result. That could be what saves us.

Maybe we’ll ultimately catch a break with Trump: he’s fundamentally unserious, with no interest or skill in building a functional autocratic state. He’s a mentally ill guy playing with his country (and the world) like a disturbed kid torturing a puppy, with no end in mind. Maybe that’s our opening.

Why not accuse them? Not of artificial cheering, but of selective editing and/or muting? Major media have been busy normalizing Trump’s presidency — because they can’t find the courage to call him who and what he is: a mentally ill dictator.

I truly understand the pleas for ICE to leave Minnesota. But leaving MN to go terrorize other states isn’t what anyone wants. ICE/DHS is kidnapping and murdering people in the streets AND IN DETENTION CENTERS. Abolishing ICE - and holding its leaders & agents accountable- is the absolute minimum.

So why is Israel not in this Guardian headline, when the story informs us that “Since the US-brokered ceasefire was announced on 10 October, Israeli forces have killed more than 360 Palestinians in Gaza; according to a UN official, at least 70 are children.” www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

I know so many great people who are doing so much. If you are isolated from people who are trying their best, I can understand feeling like no one's doing anything, but really, you just need to find the people who are trying and try with them — or maybe encourage some new folks to try alongside you.

What a wretchedly, barbarically racist, illegal decision by a gang of robed vigilantes more akin to the Klan than any legal body. Clarence Thomas, in particular, earns lasting shame. What follows will be a new war between the states — maybe with weapons beyond mere votes. Stand up and hold on.
