The State Of Popular Music (Taylor's Version)

Why are Palestinians not allowed to have any allies? This is the same vein of people who lament about how “oh I only trust Palestinians to talk about Palestine” - we as Palestinians are asking you to speak up. It will always be just an excuse not to care or do anything. (And yes, what’s happening in Palestine actually does involve Americans!)

you know who's NOT innocent? Alan fucking Dershowitz

I don't expect Jerry Seinfeld to care about hurting other people's feelings, after all, I expect nothing more from someone who supports genocide:

Watch my daughter’s story as she speaks as a Palestinian child who dreams of living like the children of the world, with a safe life away from bombing, destruction and a sense of danger.

My daughter, Dalin, was deprived of the most basic rights, such as education. She entered school in the first grade for one month, because of the war on Gaza.

Her only wish is for you to stand with us and help us by traveling as quickly as possible, saving her family and all of us going out to live a life without danger or losing any of us.

My daughter is like your children. Help us by donating through the gofundme campaign, and we ask you to save us before it is too late.

Please donate generously before the Israeli army enters Rafah, and share the post so that it reaches the largest number of good people.

Feel for us, my friends, and fulfill Dalin's wish, to live a safe life

Google Contract Shows Deal With Israel Defense Ministry

Exclusive: Google has negotiated deepening the relationship during the war in Gaza.

Rapper Macklemore is releasing a track called “Hind’s Hall”, speaking out on the genocide of Palestinians, and the United States complacency in this ongoing violence. Macklemore has stated that once the track drops on streaming, all proceeds from streams will be going directly to UNRWA— the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East.

The new tracks namesake Hind’s Hall echoes the honours that Columbia University encampment protestors bestowed the Morningside Heights campus’ Hamilton Hall— in memory of Hind Rajab, the 6 year old Palestinian girl in Gaza who was shot by Israeli soldiers after being trapped inside a vehicle, with her dead family. She had begged to be rescued as tanks closed in on her.

Macklemore using his platform to vehemently speak out against genocide, the Israeli occupation and United States-led violence is what every single artist should be doing right now. The power of art should not be underestimated. Macklemore started out in the Hip-Hop scene within communist circles, namely working alongside Blue Scholars, and has never neglected his Leftism through out his career: the artist has spoken on issues regarding mental health, addiction, racial profiling and police violence, Capitalism, women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights and toxicity of American culture.

i hope that the discussion about student protests does not get reduced to "privileged rich kids faffing around at an ivy league school." setting aside that tenuous claim, over the last week, protests have erupted over the entire country. a few days ago, riot police beat, pepper-sprayed, and arrested NYU faculty shielding students; protests started at the university of southern california when the admin cancelled the valedictorian's speech; encampments appeared at the university of southern carolina, UT dallas, the university of maryland, the university of new mexico, IUPUI, virginia tech, the university of virginia, the university of illinois, the university of north carolina — chapel hill, the university of pittsburgh, uc berkeley, the university of michigan — ann arbor, MIT, emerson, tufts, the university of rochester, rice, swarthmore, the new school, vanderbilt university, with students arrested; students protested or walked out at miami university, northwestern, temple, the 5 claremont colleges: pomona, pitzer, scripps, harvey mudd, and claremont mckenna, stanford, washington university in st louis, students were arrested at ohio state, students were confronted by riot police at cal poly humboldt, after which they occupied campus, students were arrested at the university of minnesota — twin cities, after which faculty walked out; and yes, there are protests at the other ivies, most notably yale, with students facing mass arests after encampments, but there is also an encampment at brown, protests appeared at cornell, princeton faculty issued a statement of solidarity while students are preparing an encampment, and harvard banned the undergraduate palestine solidarity committee. there are thousands of students who are protesting for palestine across the entire country, facing harassment, arrest, and suspension in return
