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.

my instagram account with nearly 1 lakh followers was suspended because i was making no bullshit political content. tell me, where are the spaces for dissent? if you protest, you get lathi charged and water canons are used. if you bring your work online, the spaces you build are taken away from you.
how is india a democratic nation still?
NEET। CBSE। SSC। और आज CUET।
चार परीक्षाएँ। एक करोड़ बच्चे। एक भी ईमानदारी से नहीं हो पाई।
दावे "विश्वगुरु" के, मगर देश में एक परीक्षा नहीं करवा सकते - मोदी जी ने पूरी शिक्षा व्यवस्था तबाह कर दी है।
जिस पीढ़ी का भविष्य आप बर्बाद कर रहे हैं - वही पीढ़ी आपका हिसाब करेगी।
A revealing chat with my fellow “anti-national Soros agents.”
Vedant and his friends are brilliant, brave young Indians who asked CBSE and the Modi government simple questions - but got insults instead of answers.
They deserve a bright and secure future. We will make sure they get it.
Entire Indian Media should hang their head in shame, the expose that was expected from you is being done by 18-19 years old kids.
The same media is glazing 56 inch Mahamaanav with full throttle, one Journalist was calling a student a Paksitani.
Morons of highest order
Way back in 2019, I reported extensively about the Globarena Intermediate marks fiasco in Telangana.
In fact, I had run a major campaign on my media company Mojo TV. We were the first TV channel up pick the story too.
23 students died by suicide, I spoke with all their families and it was truly heartbreaking.
I remember one particular case where a single mother who worked as a farm labour was very proud of her bright daughter. The entire village came to support her education, everyone pitched in with books, commute and all expenses. When the Globarena marks mess up happened, she cried the whole night. Her mother told her it is okay, and she can go for reevaluation or write the exam again, morning the mother wakes up to see her daughter hanging in the middle of the house.
I had demanded blacklisting Globarena, arresting the officials. But I guess companies like Globarena are pests that never die, they just transform into something bigger and dangerous and come back to haunt.
Globarena now has become Coempt Edu Teck that messed-up the CBSE evaluation.
Globarena in 2019 messed up results of 9.74 lakh students in Telangana. Out of this total, approximately 3.8 lakh students failed. 23 suicides were reported. Back then too Globarena failed to provide the answer sheets.
After all this, Globarena transforms into Coempt Edu Teck, messes up the future of 18.5 lakh CBSE students across the country.
It is almost like they got rewarded for bad behaviour.
The officials who were giving approvals for CBSE just 74 days prior knew the history of Coempt Edu Teck. They knew the company is incompetent, but still decided to go ahead and give them the tender.
Yes, the Globarena/ Coempt Edu Teck guys are fabulous at landing tenders. The names and associations of Coempt Edu Teck board now seem to run pretty deep in the highest offices.
Unless the rot is burnt right from the root level, this won’t stop. All board members, directors, CEO, investors, government employees that tweaked the system to ensure Coempt Edu Teck got the contract should be dragged to the courts & never should be allowed near any business again.
But in this country that is so much in love with corruption, I doubt if this will ever change. Coempt Edu Teck may soon get the tender for all exams across the country.
PS: To all the students, one exam is not the end. Kudos to your fight. Keep fighting, never ever give up.
And if you are feeling low, speak with friends and family or reach out to any helplines.

I hope parents of young kids like these students are watching. I hope they see and comprehend the kind of world they have helped create. They have actively contributed to.
I hope they remember the times they laughed when anyone questioning Modi and his government was called a terrorist, a Pakistani. I hope they remember the times they were silent or participated in the intimidation of someone in their RWA whatsapp group because they were Muslim. I hope they remember the time they dismissed the farmers' protest or the anti CAA/NRC protests as soros sponsored propaganda.
I hope they remember.
And feel shame. And culpability. And responsibility.
this is the same crowd attending Bhajan Raves and listening to Latent and Beer Biceps, and posting "peak aura" memes from Dhurandar.
I've been around this cohort.
They're not voting differently from their parents.
