Lake Ontario will always be Lake Ontario.
Canada is our closest ally, friend, and economic partner. Western New Yorkers understand how unique and consequential our relationship is with the Canadian people. This illogical trade war, and absurd and juvenile rhetoric from Donald Trump, will cost us jobs on both sides of the border.
Meanwhile, families are struggling to survive, and Trump is proving just how out of touch he is, ripping away healthcare, cutting nutrition assistance, and driving up costs with tariffs and an illegal war of choice in the Middle East.
America deserves a president who puts the American people first. Trump continues to fail that test, proving that he’ll always be the worst president in our nation’s history.
And yet Ruffalo didn’t talk about Jews at all. He talked about Ellison and Paramount and Oracle. That you and many others made this about Jews and antisemitism is ‘the biggest tell’ that you’re bad faith actors.
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.
What's happening in Indiana, is the plan. Gary hasn't had power for a week after their power lines came down in a storm. There's NO FEMA. No handing out water or food. There's ZERO coverage on the news. People left completely abandoned. That's the new policy, IT'S YOUR PROBLEM.
Hardworking Canadians continue to have their money STOLEN by the government in the form of TAXES, and such expense is higher than basic necessities, AND you probably still don’t have a DR or road free of potholes, or secure borders 👀
This is Canada 🇨🇦
@InTheAssembly Don’t have kids to expect them to do what you want. I don’t “rely” on my parents but I’m not here to baby the people who chose to bring someone on this earth.
