Robert Kraft, who sought to ban Macklemore from Ed Sheeran’s tour, funded Donald Trump and his name was also included on “Netanyahu’s list of millionaires” leaked over a decade ago. It seems Netanyahu considered Robert Kraft to be a funder of his election campaign.

It’s so incredibly disappointing that Macklemore, my constituent, was removed from Ed Sheeran’s tour because of his comments in support of the Palestinian people.

I'm going to post the full text of # Macklemore 's response to his cancellation from # EdSheeran 's tour I'm not going to editorialize. I'm not going to provide context- you can search the news I think it's important because he doesn't get angry. He doesn't burn bridges And he doesn't back down from a clear moral stance. He's generous and…

There are forums that discuss the ins and outs of the process. Generally, there are spas that just do sex and they ask what you want openly. Then there are other spas, where only some of the workers are doing it on the side and the owner doesnt know. A legit spa will have products to sell in the front of shop (lotions, scents), a receptionist…

The thing with this situation is that most of the venues that are barring Macklemore from performing are owned by government entities. Most of the stadiums that allegedly would not allow a Macklemore show did not immediately return requests for comments either, including for explanations as to why they objected to the rapper performing at their…

Macklemore says he was dropped from Ed Sheeran’s US tour over his pro-Palestinian stance and alleges billionaire Robert Kraft pressured Sheeran over his involvement. The move comes after Pink also condemned the rapper’s “Free Palestine” remarks.

Wow, Ed Sheeran is a piece of shit. “Macklemore has been dropped from the remainder of the US leg of Ed Sheeran’s Loop tour, after the American rapper drew headlines for saying “free Palestine” on stage at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. … Macklemore confirmed that Sheeran and his team had decided to remove him from the tour” https://www…

Yeah its probably smart for you to stop replying. Youre clearly unaware of the facts and lacking historical perspective if you think the Gaza war is bad. 70k is not good, but that's less than 3% of the population of Gaza, in a war where Hamas is literally putting as many civilians as possible between themselves and Israels attacks. Now that the…

I don't consider genocide a war, I don't consider targeted strikes on children, hospitals, and journalists war. I consider it terrorism. "The Department of Homeland Security defines terrorism as a premeditated threat or act of violence, against persons, property, environmental, or economic targets, to induce fear or to intimidate, coerce or affect…

Good for him. Someone should try explaining to Pink how religion isn't a factor here and has nothing to do with people's issues with Israel. It's one of many reasons why we shouldn't allow theocracies to exist. That's not Democracy when you're brainwashed from childhood to believe in nonsense.

I mean… when the “Companies” in question are performers… kinda? I feel like a lot of people are giving Ed Sheeran shit specifically for not shutting down his tour in protest. That’s what this is about. If you are making the argument that Ed Sheeran does not care about the staff who support his live performances then, I guess I disagree. It doesn’t…

He makes more money from real estate than music. He’s probably buying property in Gaza as we speak.

may every one of those U.S. venues go broke 🖕🏻 > Macklemore has been dropped from the remainder of Ed Sheeran's tour, according to the Rolling Stone, after several venues in the United States said they would not allow the concerts to be held if the American rapper, who is an outspoken advocate for Palestinian rights, remains on the lineup…

This is insane. Sheeran is a coward. He’s not even a great on stage performer so people going to this are wasting their $$$. Saw him a few years ago when snow patrol opened for him and killed it. Ed came on and it was super disappointing to see he has zero stage presence and sounds terrible live. Fuck him.
