Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative).

ed could make a legendary move here. but i guess he needs every last cent, at the cost of a shitty legacy. shame on that soulless ginger
[Everyone hated this]
Catch-22.
- Cancel the concert and be called politically correct because it happened after a tourmate said Palestine
- Go on anyway despite tourmate unable to perform at some venues, and be called a shill for Israel
One of those isn't a bad thing.
Even if he had demographic data that said a majority of his audience is Zionists (or ignorant sympathizers), being on "the clearly correct side now and on the right side of history for the future" versus "being complicit to genocide" isn't much of a "Catch-22".
Bro has enough money and fame that he’s set for life even if his contract said that he had to hand over all his money if he cancelled the rest of the tour. Even if he was set back so far that he could only play local pubs and small venues, and give lessons, he’d be golden.
Zero reason to keep going on the tour. He could stand with Macklemore and throw his weight around or just give in like a little baby.
Ed Sheeran really needs the money, guys. Don't pounce on a poor kid like Ed Sheeran. I'm sure that if he had a social safety net, he would also be willing to protest against active genocide like the upperclass wealthman, Macklemore.
Joking aside, is anyone surprised by music venue owners being the shittiest people in existence?
I'll give him an inch, because he does come from a place where they'll jail you for defending Palestine, but also, he's got money, he has nothing to fear. Ultimately, this is pure cowardice.
he’s from the uk!
oh that, that’s for supporting one specific banned group. all other Palestine support is not restricted. be careful, there’s a lot of anti uk disinformation going around
Yeah... branding an org a terrorist group for some graffiti is a choice.
You mean the group that was designated as a terrorist organization for spray painting some jets? Seems like they were using speech to me.
learning about how being politically nuteral is impossible in an extremist environment. sitting on the fence just means you support the outcome of 'might make right' extremists.
