“He likes power, and I feel like this is giving him some sort of power. It’s all about power and control in everything he does…” White supremacists who talk about “protecting women” from migrants are, unsurprisingly, violent misogynists. They do not want women’s safety — they want to control women.

“Many men rape, and few seem to think that it’s a very big deal… Complicity, too, is typical, not uncommon, for responding institutions. Impunity for rapists is cast as good sense, or as responsibility; as fairness, or compassion.” We need better systems of accountability to refuse sexual violence.

New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran. Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.

I'm not sure how to start this. So I'm going to speak from the heart and share the truth. Ed Sheeran and his team have made the decision to remove me from The Loop tour.
But before I get into it, I want to say something that should be obvious. In this moment I think it matters. I am not a victim. Ed Sheeran is not a victim. Pink is not a victim. We have careers, money, opportunities, safety and audiences around the world. Whatever consequences any of us face for what we say, we get to go home to our families.

The victims are the Palestinian people. The men, women and children who have been killed, starved, displaced and forced to live through unimaginable violence. More than 20,000 children have been killed in Gaza alone. People are being killed today, and people will be killed tomorrow. I want to make sure that as I tell this story, we don't lose sight of that.

Ed is my friend. I've known him for 13 years. We've shared late nights, studio sessions and stages. He has this infectious magic about him that I've grown to love. I consider him a brother. And because of that, we've had some difficult conversations this past week. The type of talks rooted in love and respect for one another that still end in a place of fundamental disagreement. Nothing I'm writing here is out of spite or because I want to tear down his character. But as I told Ed multiple times on the phone, our friendship can't change my responsibility to tell the truth about what happened.

Last Monday, in the middle of all the media attention surrounding Pink and what I said at MetLife, Ed told me that Robert Kraft called him. We were scheduled to play Gillette Stadium later this month, which is owned by the Kraft Group. Ed told me that Kraft said I would not be allowed to perform in his stadium. Ed also told me that Kraft had rallied some of the other
stadium owners and collectively they gave him an ultimatum: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you will not be allowed to play in our venues.

Ed was in …What I said at MetLife I have been saying on stages around the world for almost three years. So why is it an issue now? Because now I'm sharing a stage with one of the biggest artists in the world, in some of the biggest stadiums in America. At a certain level of exposure, "Free Palestine" becomes too much of a risk. If I kept doing the shows, saying Free Palestine, with Ed implicitly supporting it, the crowd getting loud and showing undeniable support for Palestinian liberation, what artist might speak out next? The stage becomes resistance. Maybe that's why this time it became so important to silence me.

And one of the most effective ways to enforce that silence has been to weaponize the accusation of antisemitism. Antisemitism is real. And that is exactly why the word matters too much to be used as a shield against criticism of the Israeli state. When criticizing Israel, opposing Zionism or saying "Free Palestine" gets conflated with hatred of Jewish people, it doesn't protect Jewish people. It protects Israel from accountability.

I hope this isn't the end of my relationship with Ed.
Thirteen years of friendship doesn't disappear because of one painful disagreement. I hope we both continue listening, studying what is happening in Palestine and wrestling with what neutrality means in a moment like this. My door will always be open to continuing that conversation.

When my brother Omar was doing the subtitles for the video I posted from MetLife, I thanked him. He told me there's a phrase in Arabic:
لا شكر على واجب
"La shukra ala wajeb." There is no thanks for a duty.
That stayed with me. Because that's what this has become for me and millions of others around the world. A duty. Not something deserving of praise or gratitude. Not brave. Human.

Who is winning the internet, who is getting canceled, who gets to play the stadium and who doesn't, all of it becomes so small when held against what we are actually witnessing in Gaza and the West Bank. An entire people be…

“I said, ‘Free Palestine!’ I want those words to be loud and clear, so that people all the way in Gaza to the occupied West Bank know that we have not forgotten about them.” It’s shameful how those in positions of power get more offended by those who speak out about genocide than actual genocide.

I’m in Taipei this week to present a talk on critical-creative queer legal work as part of @queerjudgments.bsky.social at the National Taiwan University (8th September). Come along if you’re around. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🇹🇼
【Event】Critique and Creativity in Legal Work: Pursuing Queer Judgments for Community Wellbeing and Human Rights

Can legal judgments only be written in accordance with existing legal language and rules? If we rethink a case from the perspectives of KU, trans people, and other marginalized communities, what might legal judgments not become? And how can a judgment truly respond to the community's safety, freedom, well-being, and justice while maintaining legal understandability?
This lecture invites Professor Senthorun (Sen) Raj from the Queer Judgments Project to discuss the methodology and political significance of "#酷兒化法律判決" (Queerized Legal Judgments) - Queerized legal writing is not just rewriting court judgments, but also a practice that combines critique and creation: scholars, activists, creators, lawyers, and judges reimagine and write about legal cases involving gender/sexuality, minorities, and other marginalized groups. It challenges the long-standing legal assumptions about "normal", family, gender, body, and rights, and questions: if the law truly puts the life of the community at the center, how can judgments be different?

The lecture will further discuss how #批判性的法律實踐 (critical legal practices) can help us reimagine litigation, judgments, reform, resistance, and the relationship between law and communities.

All are welcome to join the discussion, including those interested in #健康人權 (health and human rights), #性別正義 (gender justice), policy research, community participation, and critical research methods.

Lecturer | Professor Senthorun (Sen) Raj
● Professor of Legal Humanities and Human Rights, Manchester Law School, Manchester Metropolitan University
