Charlotte Church accuses Ed Sheeran of choosing ‘capitalism over doing the right thing’
Church, a prominent supporter of Palestinian causes, criticises Sheeran over removal of Macklemore from US tour Charlotte Church has accused Ed Sheeran of choosing “consumerism and capitalism over doing the right thing” over the removal of his friend and support act Macklemore from his US tour. Sheeran’s tour was thrown into crisis after Macklemore made “Free Palestine” declarations on stage. After a significant backlash, including pressure from the owners of stadiums hosting scheduled shows, the rapper was removed from the tour. Shortly afterwards, Sheeran’s other support acts quit in solidarity. Continue reading...

@JulianAndreone
 asked senators on Capitol Hill what they make of Section 622 - a provision buried in the Senate's intelligence authorization bill that would lock in expanded intelligence sharing with Israel and make it nearly impossible to scale back.

Under the amendment, intelligence sharing with Israel can't be suspended or reduced unless the president personally determines there's a "specific and identifiable national security concern."

🇸🇩 Sudan advocates campaigning against the NBA’s partnership with the UAE have pointed to photos of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani sporting both an Emirates-sponsored Arsenal jersey and a Knicks jersey featuring the team’s “Experience Abu Dhabi” sponsorship as examples of how sportswashing works.

Refugees International President Jeremy Konyndyk said people often wear sports merchandise without thinking about what the sponsor on the front represents. He said the Blood on the Ball campaign, launched by The Sentry and partner organizations, seeks to raise awareness of how the UAE is using sports sponsorships to whitewash its image while backing the Rapid Support Forces, which have carried out genocide, widespread rape, and other mass atrocities in Sudan. Konyndyk added that he believed Mamdani would likely be sympathetic to those concerns.

The discussion came during a briefing urging the NBA to reconsider its relationship with the UAE over its support for the RSF. Mamdani, who has spoken out against the U.S.-backed Israeli genocide in Gaza, has said his positions on international affairs are guided by a “belief in the universality of international law” and a commitment to making his “values and commitments clear.”
