The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
Les femmes sont sous l’impression qu’il y’a toujours un leader dans les amitiés masculines. Pourtant c’est faux, y’a pas de leaders en tant que tel, y’a juste des spécialistes et ça dépend de la situation dans laquelle ils se trouvent et la spécialité requise.
Amit Shah avoided Parliament for 3 weeks after attacking students with pellet guns. Showed up on the last day of monsoon session and sang Vande Mataram and left.
And this man is called Chanakya? He seems like a coward to me
It's really too bad because we could have built a world where we work a little bit but mostly just hang out and have a good time but instead we got this shithole
I am neither a communist nor an ultra socialist, but an apartment in Gurugram, which has third-world civic amenities, is being sold for Rs 271 crore. There is something extremely wrong with India. It is surprising that where you are taxed for an income of more than 12 lakh, starting at 4 lakh. 80 crore people are given free food. As soon as you earn 50 lakh, the tax slab goes up disproportionately, and the excessive cess takes charge. The income distribution is very uneven, and worst of all, there seems to be a particular class that gets special treatment—middle class, taxed as if it recalls French taxation before the revolution. There is something fundamentally wrong with India's economy. I was astounded to see technical professionals living in PGs in Gurugram or Bengaluru, enduring inhumane conditions because renting a flat is beyond their capacity, earning up to 1.5 lakh. There is something wrong. I wish someone could explain it to me.
Qaf, I fell down today and a shawarma with extra tahini fell into my mouth. Also an apple slice and around 3 litres of water. Should I keep fasting or is it Allah who has fed me?
“I won’t march behind Anti-Hindu / Anti-Prime Minister slogans.”
The protests are being reframed from being about education, the NTA, the NEP, privatisation and state accountability into something allegedly driven by people who are “anti-Hindu” or “anti-PM.”
Classic propaganda move: change the subject. It’s saying that good citizens must support students without challenging state power — it’s nonsense. It makes no sense. And it is exactly what’s called controlled opposition. Something that gets absorbed and co-opted by the state.
It basically paints the government as an institution that is not responsible for the crisis which claimed student lives. Instead, it makes Modi a victim that deserves empathy. Wow.
You've all paid your taxes before the July 31 deadline. Now, with your tax money, the Govt has launched yet another campaign. These posters will soon be seen across the country.
