Yikes! This is for Ed Sheeran's show in Philadelphia tomorrow. Each of those blue boxes represents anywhere from 5 to 100+ open seats. I'm sure Ed thought he'd been selling out stadiums. Instead he sold out to billionaires and now he's going to understand consequences. Good luck, buddy.

This isn’t new for Hayley Williams, though. She’s been an outspoken advocate & ally for many communities & causes for a long time now. She actually said “Free Palestine” and “Fuck ICE” repeatedly when she opened for Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour. I wonder why Pink didn’t say anything then. 🤔
We are joining Macklemore in donating to the people of Palestine with another $10,000 to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, which will help aid families amid the ongoing genocide. We encourage our followers & anyone with the means to join if they can: pcrf.net
I wonder if reality has started to sink in for Robert Kraft yet.
Ms. Rachel announces she will match Macklemore and donate $1 million to organizations supporting Palestine: “I will match Macklemore’s donation and I invite every wealthy white celebrity to match it and speak out against the genocide in Gaza.”

My uncle in Prague just sent this to me and my mom. He said this is all over social media over there. I think they like the idea. 😂
Kyrie Irving has publicly offered to pay the fine. The message on the football player's eye black was "Hind Rajab". Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving responded on social media to the news of Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair’s $11,492 NFL fine by posting, "I'll take care of his fine."
This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate. The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.
"Out of spite for President Donald Trump, Carney is accelerating the decoupling of a trade bloc that has generated enormous prosperity for North America." Seriously, Wapo editorial - you're going with Canadian spite? www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
I love this speech by MEP Damian Boeselager as he addresses Carney and Canadians. 🇨🇦🇪🇺 Also enjoyed his little dig at Ursula. 😏

It’s all very 2026: with a stadium owner on one side and angry support acts on the other, the cornered star will have to pick a side, says Guardian columnist Zoe Williams

the "Sheeran effect" seems like a useful shorthand to start using
If the Streisand effect is getting attention because you don’t want attention, the Sheeran effect is getting drawn into politics when you don’t want to be drawn into politics
And this coked out lunatic is who our government gave a multimillion dollar military contract to & who the UK government handed sensitive healthcare information to and who governments all over the world trust with their citizens' data. WTF are we doing???
This Palantir CEO dude is completely all over the place and would likely refuse to pee in a cup, good thing he's not in charge of the world's biggest killing machine that is tracking us all (From @aaron.rupar )

Arya, will you be my opening act?
This is why they attacked the ICC. They knew they would be committing war crimes. If memory serves, Hegseth even said as much.
AP: Human rights experts commissioned by the UN’s top human rights body say they have found “reasonable grounds” to believe the United States committed war crimes in two strikes in Iran, including on a school in the southern city of Minab.
He’s 100% correct. Just look at this one Trump term and how many innocent people have been killed at the hands of the US for completely senseless reasons. Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, the Caribbean, etc… Now go back just 25 years. Then another 25. On so on. The body count is high.

As everyone in the US celebrates their Constitution today, I’m reminded of the day I learned about Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. And yet, here we are, the rest of the world, dealing with the consequences of an insurrectionist getting elected as their president for the second time.
Imagine hearing, “Free Palestine” and that all people should live with equal rights and freedoms and flying into such a fit of rage that your face goes purple. These are cruel beings.
Robert Kraft is worth $15B To quell backlash for supporting Israel’s genocide & for canceling Macklemore, Kraft is donating $2M to “the region.” That’s 0.0133% of $15B—the equivalent of a working class American donating $16. Ya—16 whole dollars. What an insultingly lame PR strategy. #FreePalestine
