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.
This morning @BBCNolan is platforming Jamie Bryson to defend who? Loyalist paramilitaries. Think about that. To defend paramilitaries 30 years after the GFA. On the BBC. An unelected nobody who’s only known because he’s been promoted by Nolan. This shames BBC NI! Again.
Fuck Keir Starmer

I really feel like work days should be 10am-3pm or 9am-2pm. There’s really no reason for people to be at work MOST of their life. It doesn’t even take that long fr
Let people go home and have time for their families, partners/friends, hobbies, REST, & health! That’s why everyone is so miserable today.
“i’m 27 years old, i’ve no money and no prospects. i’m already a burden to my parents, and i’m frightened” is as relevant today as when jane austen wrote it in 1813
Empty words cannot hide the truth: your government is complicit in genocide.
We are an unstoppable movement for peace, for justice and for Palestine — and we are never, ever going away.
‘They breed like rabbits, they contribute nothing, they’re content to live on handouts, they’re a danger to good people’. That was unionism about Catholics then and it’s unionism about immigrants now. Only the target has changed.
If you’re in Ireland & you’re opposed to Irish language visibility, then yes - that is pretty representative of a “coloniser mindset”. That shouldn’t be a difficult concept to grasp.
