[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

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.

@mickakers Why does the whole stadium look like an old corporate office?

@CaseyAPratt That would be hilarious, John fisher would follow since he has no bright ideas.

[Thurmun Ruth @ThurmunRuth]

@OaklandRooted No***

@OaklandRooted That circus show yesterday was so cringe, the A’s we all knew are dead. It is just another show on the strip. Now authenticity. It was great while it lasted. Memories is all I have now.

@AdamThaSportFan The Athletics return to Oakland or that’s it. I will never root for them anywhere else. There’s no switching teams. That’s weird. We were a loyal fan base and they were ripped away.

[Thurmun Ruth @ThurmunRuth]

@TalkinBaseball_ @Forbes MLB needs to be investigated, the @Athletics were fine in Oakland. John Fisher just sucked I don’t care which way anyone trys to spin it.

[Thurmun Ruth @ThurmunRuth]

@MattGeorgeSAC This sucks so much, MLB needs to be investigated.

[Thurmun Ruth @ThurmunRuth]

@ChrisBiderman @MLB made a huge mistake by excluding this man from purchasing the @Athletics
He would be great for the league.

[Thurmun Ruth @ThurmunRuth]

@MattMahanSJ Nah man you have donors we don’t like.
