Cool 😎 I’m still gonna keep the heat on everyone and make sure they keep it going each time millions of people hit the streets for us. Thanks for the info 👍
Nobody gives a FUCK. Children are dying, Veterans are out of work, farmers might lose their farms. Women’s rights, Gay rights and people are losing their life savings because of tariffs. So do some constructive journalism about things that affect people not a singer canceling a concert. 🤬
I have not watched CNN in a very long time and understand your complaints. But I do give a fuck about art and music. Canceling artist visa are very much connected to the rights of all. Trump administration is coming after everyone’s rights.
Twigs is vocal about Trans & gay rights.🤔
I agree about rights but our country is in the toilet. Also if you follow me I include women’s and gay rights in my posts. Her Visa just doesn’t crack my first 100 priorities. Much respect ❤️
Bet you don't care about the switch 2 preorder delay either, but turns out it's the first time some very comfortable young people have realized politics affect their straight white apolitical asses, too.
If people cared half as much about voting as they care about celebs & 🎮, we wouldn't be here.
A British singer, post-Brexit, is going to have a lot of visa and customs issues in Europe too. As she is working, there are IIRC different rules for every EU member state - no one-stop shop.
Also canceled Canada and Mexico...Live Nation should be taking care of visa situation anyhow. I don't see other foreign artists cancelling upcoming Coachella performances
The only news show of value. That I find of Great value actually is GPS, Fareed Zakaria
He is freaking fantastic. There's no left/right there's global information about whatever is happening and sometimes we don't even know what's happening. He is the only star on CNN. That's all I watch, Sun 10am
Americans (of which I am) are not very cultured. We R barely educated (Trumpers don't understand gov't 101)
Cultured having a broad understanding & appreciation of different arts, literature, history, and customs, often exhibiting refined tastes & a willingness to engage with diverse perspectives.
I don't say that to be mean I say it cuz it's true. Jimmy Kimmel seems to prove that every day with his on the street questions about our government and these people are idiots I'm embarrassed by their answers.
The Trumper in my life doesn't understand VP & President have 2different roles
He doesn't understand that vice president can't do any job that is not given to them by the president. He likened it to his job in manufacturing that his boss would think it would be great if he did other people's jobs. Again you can't do a job you're not given. EDUCATION FAILED AMERICA! #CIVICS
We R in this divisive age because of stupidity brought on by lack of Education, parenting in support of education, no government classes in high school no civics classes in HS. My understanding has come from college two for your degrees. I'm well aware of the process. Y isn't it taught in HS
DimWit..... used Hamas attack to justify attacking, blowing up, killing all of Gaza. He always wanted to do it.
Trump wants so badly to justify (I think killing) black/brown people. At the very least enslave them. Trump admires Putin, Assad, Viktor Orban, Erdogan.. Trump wants their killing power
I'm not saying they should, I am saying they will.
You seriously think they would stop the event happening in the US when they held the football World Cup in Qatar, a country with horrific human rights atrocities? They don't give a shit about any of that, it's all about the money for corps.
You are right, of course. The only thing that would ever make FIFA or the Olympics reconsider is the prospect of losing money. And I'm assuming the billion dollar TV deals are all locked up. The most we can hope for is that few from outside the U.S. choose to come to their party.
Is it because she thinks Palestinians are human? The government (and CNN) (and so many others) (bipartisanly) do not. The government has been kidnapping visa holders in good standing for saying this. Very scary times. Led by very stupid liars.
Would you visit a nation that ships random citizens & legal residents to black hole prisons in El Salvador? At least when the Taliban detained foreigners you knew where they were.
Japan is a little overwhelmed with tourists right now, so check with them. Canada has been in dire need of real estate. An Olympic village is a partial solution but if they like that approach…
Who would want to go to a country where they have masked under cover agents crawling the streets and abducting people. Sort of shit that goes on in Iran, Russia or North Korea.
Yes, exactly! It's so infuriating that we have become a place for visitors to avoid due to Visa and immigration fears. Way to kill tourism and lose millions or billions more dollars.
Your network is a disgrace with your massive failure to report on the Apr. 5 unprecedented public protest across 50 states against Trump fascism. Your corporate sponsors obviously objected to giving voice to the people. You listen to your oligarchs not the country. Disgusting deplorable CNN.
Even European TV networks covered the Apr. 5 protests more than you did CNN. What a disgrace you are to Americans, to truth, to journalism.
#BOYCOTTCNN for compliance with the Trump/Musk coup.
You did the same suppression of dissent when giving practically zero TV coverage to Sen. Corey Bookers heroic 25-hour long speech on the Senate floor to speak out in protest on behalf of the country. I am BOYCOTTING you, CNN. I hope the country will see that you are compliant with the fascist coup.
You’re proving MY point. CNN relegated the Apr. 5th coverage to PRINT. There was almost zero coverage on TV. This is blatant suppression of important news because the corporate sponsors are all in for overturning democracy. #BOYCOTTCNN
You keep failing America @cnn.com
There is no coverage regarding the mass protests against dump and musk on your network. You have completely abdicated your ethical responsibility as a media outlet.
To people who are not in the music biz, this happens a lot to UK artists. But it is a little peculiar that a major alt pop artist with a good manager and entourage of helpers couldn't get a visa secured since she announced her shows in November 2024.

Players/athletes working in the US already are hesitant to leave to participate in competitions and qualification rounds abroad for fear of not being able to return or detention. No way spectators can come to the games without fear! Time to look for alternatives!
She's mixed heritage. Not sure if that's the reason or something to do with her social media postings? These maggots are looking at everything for a reason to deny visas or take them away.
FIFA and the IOC are a bunch of corrupt old men.
They don't care about morality.
Why do you think the Olympic Games and the World Cup were held in China, Russia and Qatar ?
World Cup 2026 North America. Games in Mexico (no problema) and Canada (pas des problèmes) and US (major problems). Are teams going to have issues with their players' visas?
Yep. Question is: will the games be relocated ahead of time, or will teams be in the impossible predicament of having to forfeit matches here? Hope it doesn't come to that. Even tho I was right about Roe, deportations, economy, I still feel like an alarmist sometimes.
This administration has made the deportation of Mexicans, or anyone crossing that southern border their raison d’être. There is no way FIFA can have any games in the USA. They have to reset the entire schedule.
That's been on my mind since November ffr. Everyone's like trump take egg and I'm like trump take futbol. Of course futbol is low on the list cuz I'm scared trump take my best friend 🇭🇹 and my mom 🇨🇦 and my neighbours.

(sorry bad joke)
I’ve told all my friends outside the U.S. to stay away, that it’s not safe to travel here right now.

He and Trump are war criminals.

You're more like foxnews everyday

fifa is corrupt af
i misunderstood i thought you were America good ra ra my bad
Athletes could be relatively safe traveling to Qatar for the World Cup. I don't think that's true for the USA.
FIFA may not want to change anything, but will if the teams and players start screaming *now.*
I suspect USA will be left off tour dates for foreign bands until at least 2029
Japan and Canada should be the new free world leaders.
OK, see, we'll build an enormous floating platform 200 miles offshore of California...
I would pray for you if I believed any of it could eventually be fixed

In 2022, Barnett signed onto the Musicians For Palestine pledge, refusing to perform in Israel following the 2021 Israel–Palestine crisis.[129]

No thanks.

All out of country participants.
It’s not safe here for foreigners.
