Ha ha ha Ed you cowardly hypocritical loser.

This is what Sheeran should have done and perhaps would have done if he’d grown up Irish. They have so much more to lose than he does, but immediately made the right call at great professional expense. Support for human rights isn’t a political stance, it just requires intelligence and integrity.

Dear Ed… see you actually had a choice. Just like your supporting acts. They are choosing to not support the silencing of people speaking out against genocide. Your statement reveals a deep ignorance on the issue, so I guess your choices shouldn’t surprise me but they’re still deeply disappointing.

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

I'm a white Arab American. Most ppl would never know that's my background by looking at me. The day after 9/11, family friends, who did not know, where at the house and openly talking about how all Arabs and Muslims in the US should be rounded up into camps. I was 12 years old. We were never united.

ICE OUT!!!

So, it looks like Ticketmaster is going to start requiring that you give them your biometric data to purchase concert tickets. As if anyone would trust TM. Also, there are reports the company storing this data for them, Persona, has had security issues and is funded by Peter Thi€l.

I love Olivia Rodrigo. She really seems like the real deal. But I do have to ask, why do I have to give my biometric information to Ticketmaster just to get a ticket to her show?!?! TM has shown repeatedly they are not a company you should trust.

The death toll from catastrophic flooding in Nepal and China passed 1,000 on Tuesday, authorities said, as rescue teams worked to reach communities cut off by the disaster. 3,916 people are missing, including 583 foreigners, Nepal’s disaster agency said.

The Palestinian Ministry of Justice said last April that more than 11,200 Palestinians had gone missing or been forcibly disappeared by Israel since 2023:

This is a pretty clear indicator not trust anything you see on Google. DuckDuckGo is your friend.

Ben Gvir posted this video on twitter today which shows fat and happy Palestinians on a conveyer built going through the Israeli "prison" (torture camp) system and coming out emaciated and maudlin. This is textbook genocidal content.

Introduce yourself with 10 acts or bands you’ve seen live. Pearl Jam (x123) Fontaines DC (x2) Brandi Carlile (x28) Johnny Cash The Cure (x6) Prince (x18) David Bowie (x2) Joni Mitchell (x2) Duran Duran (x6) Tragically Hip 

When the Pentagon announced a $620 million loan last year to a startup linked to Donald Trump Jr., defense officials and the company tried to tamp down suspicions of cronyism. We found that the request came directly from the White House. (Published May)

More of tonight’s almost blood moon from Portland, Oregon.

A view of the partial lunar eclipse as seen from Portland, Oregon. Look up everyone… it’s amazing!

Bloomberg analyzed seven regional power grids across the country last year and found that wholesale prices near data centers have risen as much as 267% since 2020. Around Washington DC, near the world's largest cluster of data centers, power bills rose about $20 a month last summer.

I loved her work. i always found it so whimsical and enveloping in person. It brought me a lot of joy. RIP Yayoi Kusama.

The footage of the floods is just devastating. I am hoping many of the missing managed to survive. 💔

Such sad news. She was an amazing woman. 💔

WaPo must reinstate her and pay her back pay. Good news!!

Trump, the motherfucker, is killing wild Mustangs to open up protected lands for cattle. What sane American is ok with this? @cnn.com @cbsnews.com @aspcardio.bsky.social @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy @meidastouch.com www.nytimes.com/2026/08/20/u...

Israeli Settlers Have Displaced 107 Palestinian West Bank Communities Since 2023 truthout.org/articles/isr...

Absolutely vile framing from the @nytimes.com. Why doesn’t this leave behind hard questions for the media that hounded him? Or the global right-wing that gleefully turned a local matter into an international incident?

Out of curiosity I did this search for Ben-Gvir and Smotrich and let’s be clear, The Telegraph went way harder on Arday than it did on people actively committing war crimes.

This is horrifying and insane! This level of coverage is not commensurate with the accusations/story. Not at all.

Damn socialists

Would be nice to live in a country where I'm not even shocked that a mass shooting happened in a public space that I take my children to constantly. But I live in America. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Good. That video was horrifying.

Israeli settlers set fire to Al-Rahma Mosque in Qusra, near Nablus, as Israeli forces arrested dozens of Palestinians across the occupied West Bank. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu ordered a military crackdown following a shooting in Tal that killed four Palestinians and two Israelis on Friday.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice In Chains.

Three years after the coup, Niger’s junta has broadened its assault on human rights. The junta has entrenched authoritarian rule, dismantled democratic institutions, and intensified repression. Read more: https://bit.ly/4fuQWie

Israel is bombing Gaza as the U.S. is bombing Iran. The news media talks about oil prices while the region is on fire because of a genocidal, apartheid state. These are human beings whose lives are being destroyed, when is it enough?

These images of First Nations community members evacuating Collins, Ontario on motorboats are absolutely surreal www.facebook.com/reel/1548244...

Kudos to Dinaw Mengestu for trying to build support for Palestinian speech within Pen America and then resigning after the organization recently published a post from Zionist writers claiming "professional challenges" due to their support a genocidal ethno-supremacist apartheid state. Gift link.

Good because something is clearly not right here. How do you return from a boating trip without one of your friends… but not report him missing?!?!

Free Dr Hussam Abu Safiyah NOW!

Please see this urgent message from Physicians for Human Rights Israel. I am profoundly alarmed by the ongoing inhumane treatment of Dr Abu Safiya and other healthcare workers illegally detained in Israeli prison. Canada must immediately advocate for his release! x.com/PHRIsrael/st...

and this isn't just some random evil racist congressman. he's the majority whip, the third most powerful member of the house! this *is* the party.
