the person who's approving posts today hasn't really been doing a good job of keeping the momentum going, tbh

Lana Del Rey never really struck me as a political person, is there any proof she canceled for human rights?

that was because of concerns over safety because it was legit a war zone at the time, it even says there that the tickets would be honoured at a later date

Lol at this giant asshole trying to make political statements. We know you only care about yourself, Thurston.

People can be assholes and see what a piece of shit country Israel is. So you want him to be an asshole and to support a disgusting regime?

[mimblexwimble]

good. i hope more people start taking this stance.

MTE. I know Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem have a similar stance on Israel and I think it was great they penned that open letter (before open letters became annoying).
