Jane Fonda has released a statement in support of Mark Ruffalo after Paramount slammed the four-time Oscar nominee as “antisemitic”:

“Calling his criticism antisemitic is a smear to delegitimize criticism of the merger and to distract from the question Paramount would rather not answer: Should one company be allowed to accumulate this much power over our movies, television and news?”

ICE is beyond reform. This agency must be abolished.

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

“They murdered our child. People need to be held responsible when they murder people in this country."

Alex Pretti's family is right, we need accountability for him & every victim of Trump's lawless ICE operation.

That Alex’s family still has no answers is absolutely shameful.

Israel killed 4-year-old Muhammad Taha in Gaza after children’s kites drifted toward Israeli settlements near the border. Now Israel says it will keep targeting Palestinians who fly them.

In Gaza, even a child’s kite is being treated as a threat. 🧵

Sen. Darline Graham (R-SC) thinks affordable healthcare is a “bad idea” — even though her parents had to work while they were sick.

The time Dolly Parton and Kermit jammed to Sly and the Family Stone.

This is always how I will remember her.

[Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @RepPressley]

Donald Trump wants Congressmembers to fall in line & not conduct oversight of detention centers.

And he wants to make an example out of @RepLaMonica. But we’re not letting up.

We stand with Congresswoman McIver & we’ll continue to do our jobs to hold this Admin accountable.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Dear @RealTomHoman: Your ICE agents are thugs. Thank goodness many Americans now are filming the illegal behavior of your agents.

I urge Americans to keep filming ICE operations and posting them so that the American people can see ICE’s illegal actions.

November is coming.

[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

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.

Responding to opponent Mike Rogers (R-MI) criticizing his name, U.S. Sen. candidate @AbdulElSayed makes fun of Mr. Rogers' surname: "It's very fitting for him — Rogers. Cause that's his answer every time a corporation or Donald Trump tells him to do something."

@cathaypacific Why are your customer service folks so rude and, really- you hung up on me?!

Her name was Renee Nicole Good. 37 years old, a poet, a mother, and—by every report available—an American citizen who was not the target of any law enforcement investigation. ICE officers shot her in the head in front of a crowd.

The woman shot by the ICE agent had a child who is 6. The father died in 2023, leaving the child without either of his or her birth parents

@DHSgov Stand with the American people. Not the ice agents terrorizing communities that do not want them there in the first place.

[Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost @RepMaxwellFrost]

The video evidence is clear: An ICE agent murdered a woman in Minnesota.

This is the direct result of Donald Trump unleashing ICE to terrorize our communities.

[Mayor Jacob Frey @MayorFrey]

ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.

[Yashar Ali 🐘 @yashar]

HuffPost has obtained a video of a physician trying to give medical care to the woman shot and killed by ICE agents today, and not being allowed to go near her.

The ICE agents claim there are medics on site, but witnesses scream that there are no medics present.
