Less an issue of mainstream voices failing to speak up and much more an instance of systemic mass-censorship and retribution aimed at anyone who attempts a protest.

When the federal government is collaborating with Pro-Zionist terrorist groups to harass, assault, and kidnap student protesters, while national media denounces the victims of violence as Hamas-affiliated, the problem isn't with Ariana Grande's late entrance to the fray.

brining it up before ariana grande's entrance has had little impact; maybe now it'll get more attention.

Starving people to death is a red line. Ariana Grande

Jesus fuck what about bombing schools or hospitals?

Every American celebrity is basically a highly paid slave of corporate media. They don't have an independent voice in public. Anything they say or do is liable to take them off their golden leash and if they really step out of line, they'll be sent to eternal legal hell to dry up all their money.

The only people you can trust are those that are not tied to any corporate control.
