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.
@Jon759807481996@Salutesalute88@Wolfie90508404@moultano Paul is the demagogue his rule is the problem. The only thing that matters is protecting his power. Are actually asking? Because if you didn't read the books, then just go do that yourself. Or you can read a summary online too. They're on audible. You dont know?
@Jon759807481996@Salutesalute88@Wolfie90508404@moultano Not even close. The whole point of it is to distrust demagogue leaders and savior mentality. Spice being a stand in for oil. Arrakis for the middle east and the atreides as the USA. And fremen as an indigenous and oppressed population.
🚨BREAKING: ICE agents are now kidnapping Native grandmothers in Chaparral, New Mexico.
A Native woman pulled into a gas station because she realized she was being followed by a truck. Moments later, ICE agents surrounded her and escorted her to one of their vehicles.
This is a woman whose ancestors lived on this land for thousands of years before the United States even existed.
A Native woman, on her own ancestral land, being treated like a foreigner by the federal government in 2026.
The Fourth Amendment protects people from being unreasonably stopped or detained, and the federal government cannot lawfully target people simply because of their race or ethnicity.
So why did ICE agents stalk and kidnap this woman?
This stopped being about immigration a long time ago.
ICE agents shot and killed an unarmed civilian in Houston, Texas. The victim was a construction worker, a father of three US citizens, had lived in the US for 35 years and was applying for a work permit. He panicked and tried to flee when he mistook masked, armed ICE agents for thieves.
