“Sheeran was under pressure from stadium owners rallied by Robert Kraft – the billionaire owner of the New England Patriots and their Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, where Sheeran was next slated to play – to drop Macklemore from the tour.” No free speech in America.

Free speech in America--that is, until wealthy, powerful Americans feel uncomfortable. Then the offensiveness veto is applied with a vengeance: www.theguardian.com/music/2026/s...

You know, when the likes of Kapelos, Barton or Cochrane are interviewing US politicians about the trade war, why do they never raise the Trump’s National Security Strategy? file:///var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments/40/00/FA5E412A-31D3-46F3-A43A-8FDB45F3D4EE/2025-National-Security-Strategy.pdf

STOP SCROLLING Why I’m sounding the alarm: VoteSafe. org is run by Elon Musk’s America PAC, the same political operation working to turn out Republican voters in the midterms. The site collects voter and political info, and allows your information to be shared or sold to business partners.

On this day in 1952, Neil Peart was born in Hamilton. The drummer and main lyricist for Rush, he was known as The Professor for his technical proficiency as a drummer. He is often cited as one of, if not the greatest, drummer in rock history. He died in 2020. 📸 CP
