Pink once asked President George W. Bush, “How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?”
In Dear Mr. President, she used her platform to challenge war, destruction, and the suffering of families caught in the consequences of U.S. policy.
So we have a question: What happened?
When Macklemore said “Free Palestine” and spoke out against the killing and suffering of Palestinians, while explicitly rejecting antisemitism, Pink reposted an attack on him.
Artists have enormous platforms. Pink understood that when she challenged the Iraq War. Macklemore understands it today.
Pink, we want the artist who challenged power back.

Across Northern Ireland, BDS activists are organizing supermarket boycott actions to identify and remove products linked to Israel’s occupation and apartheid. From Israeli potatoes and avocados to Sabra hummus and other goods, sustained community pressure has led some stores to stop stocking these products. Every product removed from the shelves is a reminder that collective action works. Join the movement for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions until Palestinians are free. Free Palestine.
