“See, when Eva’s old enough to ask why I let this happen, I’m determined to answer truthfully that I didn’t.”
This is not just a masterclass in public speaking from @ossoff but also a masterclass in Democratic messaging for this moment.
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.
@christian_coler@MarcheseMethods I don’t really understand a therapist who has a bible verse in their bio and is apparently married being this openly misogynistic. I feel like someone who specializes in coping skills should be less volatile, but I guess people don’t necessarily practice what they preach
WTF timeline are we on. Someone called me the MAGA whisperer and I’ll gladly take the title. Left, right, D or R we all want the same things. We’re being divided on purpose by the Epstein Elite Oligarch class because as long as we’re at each other’s throats, they get fat and rich off of our misery. The second we figure out we agree on more than we disagree, they’re done. Love your neighbor. Be yourself. Radical honesty. No fucks given, no fucks taken. Everything else is just noise. (But still fuck Jake “Brick Tamland” Tapper on any time line)
@psypharmacopeia Insulin just helps glucose get in the cell so you can metabolize it, it isn’t solely used for food storage. I.e. a type 1 diabetic still needs exogenous insulin even if they are running a deficit. What is this post in response to?
@HunchoJamzy@psypharmacopeia It was episode 223 “Type 2 Diabetes Education and Awareness” of Better Blood Sugars with DelaneMD (looked her up - her specialty is family practice, not endocrinology). Sorry, I had to go digging to find it.
@psypharmacopeia There is suspicion within the endocrine community that insulin levels are a more sensitive indicator of other diseases outside of diabetes. I listened to a podcast about it by an endocrinologist and I had a nurse coworker that was a type 1 diabetic that also corroborated
72,000 killed in the genocide in Gaza.
1 million+ displaced in Lebanon.
1,700 settler attacks in the West Bank.
And now war in Iran.
Sending 20,000+ more bombs to Netanyahu isn’t just immoral—it’s illegal.
That’s why I introduced legislation to stop it.
