    To all my Jewish brothers and sisters: Criticism of Israel, criticism of apartheid, being against genocide in no way is a criticism of you

    I love this. That’s good messaging

    Since we don’t have any good options on the table yet, is Macklemore eligible to be president?

      If I’m reading his Wikipedia article correctly and remembering presidential requirements correctly he actually is.

          Maybe I should go for president. I was born in the US and over 35. What would my chances be as someone with zero political experience and a mechanical engineering background? Enough votes to need both hands to count them?

            I’d vote for you over any of the names being put forward right now, and I don’t even know your positions

            I think picking citizens at random would probably work out better than the outcomes we’ve been getting for my entire lifetime

    New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft…At Kraft’s behest, Ed Sheeran dropped Macklemore from his Loop Tour after the Seattle rapper advocated for Palestine during his opening set at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium
    …
    Kraft faced two charges of soliciting prostitution after being caught performing sexual acts in a Florida Spa

    Oh, c’mon. Sex work is work.

    …where the sex workers were confined to the establishment, slept on the massage tables, and were “forced to service eight to 15 men a day.”

    Oh fuck that’s bad
