Macklemore says “free Palestine” and the ADL applauds him losing gigs for it. Kanye West puts out a song called “Heil Hitler” the org can’t be bothered to have an opinion on it. Instead, they insert themselves into the concert venues to do trainings on hate symbols.
In addition, the ADL has been working to put together a "best practices" guide which will include training venue workers on anti-Semitic symbols, statements and other totems. Those materials will be available to workers at both of Ye's shows.

Why have liberals normalized voting for a party that has no core values and adjusts its policy position based on polling? The minimum demand should be that they make the argument for human rights and fight for it, not cater to what they perceive as the bigoted least common denominator.

Imagine being such a bloodthirsty Zionist that you spend your birthday condemning Macklemore for using his platform to oppose genocide. What a loser Pink turned out to be. Supporting genocide is not how you “Get the party started.” #BoycottPink

Trump & Hegseth think war is a game. They don't care about preventing civilian harm. From tearing apart the office responsible for minimizing such harm to producing this cover-up report, they are whitewashing the killing of civilians.

It's Safer in the Front
Faced with intensifying repression and state violence, there is an understandable inclination to seek safety by avoiding confrontation. But this is not always the most effective strategy.

Israeli ministers have just announced plans for new illegal settlements - three in Gaza and dozens more across the occupied West Bank. This is beyond reprehensible, and the international community must finally confront Israel with the full weight of international law. [1/2]

This is bone-chilling. A conservative hedge fund manager wants to require little girls to pass genital inspections for their “safety.” And it’s only for girls’ sports. There’s a clear link between transphobia and child sexual abuse.

Anyway it's absurdly fitting that a thousand days of genocide in Occupied Palestine falls on this July 4 weekend, our sesquicentennial, because genocide is pretty much as American as apple pie, baseball, institutional racism, and for profit healthcare at this point.
