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.
I’m not even a Selena fan but I remember at the time when this came out everyone was making fun of her for it not being that deep… rewatching I feel bad for her and see exactly where she was coming from. Can’t imagine how dehumanising being a celebrity is sometimes
Not to be the too woke friend but the entire conversation surrounding Ariana is inherently ableist and it’s driving me crazy some of you think it’s okay to think like that
Do you know how genuinely fucked up it is to imply Ariana is intentionally encouraging people to look like her by simply existing in her current state while simultaneously diagnosing her with a serious illness?????? I need a gun
