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.
Today, as every day, we remember Diogo Jota and André Silva, who tragically passed away one year ago.
Through immeasurable loss and incalculable pain, the impact they made and the legacies they left behind - not only within the footballing world, but in the hearts and minds of so many around the world - has shone through over the last 12 months.
All of our love, support, thoughts and prayers continue to be with Diogo and André's families, friends and all those whose lives were touched by them.
Forever in our hearts, forever our number 20 ❤️
WOW!
The Iranian AI Lego team has another video out. They are doubling down on building bridges between Americans & Iranians while depicting the US gov and "system" as the real enemy.
The music, lyrics, and imagery are all designed to appeal to disillusioned Americans.
Iran’s latest AI Lego video marks a significant pivot. Instead of taunting the US military, it reflects a new chapter in which Tehran will seek peace by reaching out directly to the American people, bypassing the US government. It's a mirror image of the US strategy of the past decades.
Some of the lines are quite noteworthy and will likely resonate with the anti-establishment sentiments prevailing among American youth in particular:
"I love the constitution, the way it was meant. But not the way your leaders bypass consent..."
CALL TO ACTION:
Tell President Trump, your Congressional Rep, & your Senators that you don't support American boots on the ground in Iran.

This is how We the People make our voices heard. 🇺🇸
Gözyaşlarımız akıyorsa, bu hâlâ insan kalabildiğimiz içindir.
Eğer bunu bir sefalet, bir utanç ya da zayıflık sanıyorsanız, bilin ki insanlıktan asıl uzak düşen sizsiniz.
Bizim feryatlarımız boşuna değil.
Vakit henüz tamamen tükenmemişken, eğer içinizde zerre kadar kaldıysa,
o son insanlık kırıntısını uyandırmak içindir bu haykırışlar.
Kürtlerin ahını çoktan üzerinize aldınız;
o ahın ağırlığını bir gün yüreğinizde hissedeceksiniz.
Kendi yarattığınız felaketle yüzleşmekten korkun.
Ben çocuklarımız barış içinde, özgürce, korkmadan yaşayabilsin diye haykırıyorum.
Onların yarınları için, bugün gözyaşı döküyorum.
Özgürce yaşamak uğruna döktüğümüz her damla gözyaşı,sizin öldürürken attığınız o canavarca kahkahalardan daha derin, daha gerçek ve çok daha güçlüdür.
Bundan korkun!…
