## Resource

Macklemore’s tour with Ed Sheeran is in chaos after the rapper made pro-Palestinian remarks, triggering venue walkouts and sparking a firestorm over free speech and corporate power. Allegedly pressured by Patriots owner Robert Kraft—who reportedly told Sheeran to choose between Macklemore or playing at Gillette—Kaepernick sees this as a chilling echo of his own NFL grievance: powerful owners will collude to protect their interests, no matter the cost. He warns that silence now could mean vulnerability later, urging people to organize before it’s too late. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
