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.
@ga16788@ClutchNumbers@LegionHoops@RoadTrippinShow Iverson shot chucking his way to a scoring title is not impressive. He took 6 more shots per game than shaq and only scored 2.5more points.
Thats not good offense.
Getting 1st seed by 1 game is not a flex.when your impact was smaller
@ga16788@ClutchNumbers@LegionHoops@RoadTrippinShow AI didnt deserve his MVP. Shaq was robbed. The sixers defense is what made them what they were. AI's 42% fg wasnt doing anything at that point.
CP3 was robbed of MVP in 08.
Judging peaks of if the player won a mvp or made it to the finals is also flawed.
Biggest issue: If you're being drafted, people are saying "we want you around for 4 years" & I can't imagine anybody wants Enes Kanter or Royce White around them for even 4 minutes.
We've seen this illustrated whenever Enes is near Turkey or Royce comes close to logic/reality.
NYC mayor, Zohran Mamdani, tried to break through the state troopers to stop the mass deportations while shouting:
'DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE 1st AMENDMENT?'
This IS what it looks like when a leader is fighting for humanity. 👏
LEBRON IS COMING TO PHILLY.
