   Why I liked this from The Guardian is that it talks about Dua Lipa saying she does what she does for the Greater Good.

   Most of our politicians these days don't do do things for the 'Greater Good'. Maybe there is something to this.

     Dua Lipa says she’s fine with backlash against her opinions, if it’s for the greater good

     Caitlin Clark might learn a couple of things about using her voice from Dua Lipa, who has been relentlessly targeted for speaking up in support of Palestinians and demanding a ceasefire. A chart-topping song in Israel even called for the IDF to attack the singer. In a recent interview with the Radio Times, the singer said she was thoughtful about what she posts and determined to use her platform for good. “It’s always going to be met with a backlash and other people’s opinions, so it’s a big decision,” Lipa said about speaking on Gaza. “I balance it out, because ultimately I feel it’s for the greater good, so I’m willing to [take that hit].” #dualipa #caitlinclark
