Macklemore Dropped From Ed Sheeran's Tour After Supporting Palestine Venue operators pushed Macklemore off Ed Sheeran's tour after he called for a free Palestine. Owners have long used their control of stages and airwaves to decide what political speech Americans hear. Kahlil Greene Sep 16 On September 14, Messina Touring Group, the promoter of Ed Sheeran’s U.S. Loop Tour, removed rapper Macklemore from the tour’s remaining opening slots. The promoter said operators of venues on upcoming dates told the company they would not host a concert with Macklemore on the lineup. On September 4 and 5, at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, Macklemore called for a free Palestine and performed “Hind’s Hall,” his 2024 song about Columbia University students who renamed a campus building for Hind Rajab, a six-year-old Palestinian girl whom Israeli forces killed in Gaza.

  My Afternoon With The Last Living Prosecutor of Nazi War Criminals Michael Moore Nov 21 Benjamin Ferencz in 1947 or 1948 during the Nuremberg trials. Credit: Benjamin Ferencz Archive Today marks the 80th anniversary of the start of the Nuremberg Trials. This was the international military tribunal where prominent members of the political, military, judicial and economic leadership of Nazi Germany who carried out or otherwise participated in the Nazi Holocaust and other war crimes were put on trial. In 2018, I spent an afternoon with Ben Ferencz who, at the age of 99, was the last living prosecutor of the Nazis. Without Ben, these Nazi war criminals may never have been brought to justice.

My 2018 interview...
