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.Β 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.Β 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 Oracleβs 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.Β
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still havenβt given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldnβt move forward.Β Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
This paradigm of, "Networking" as the only way to secure prestigious employment is disproportionately biased against autistic people, another example of how social biases are implicitly eugenicist.!
Flock takes their privacy very seriously.
But the ethical gray area in surveillance technology works both ways.
Under no circumstances should elected officials or public servants enjoy an expectation of privacy when spending tax dollars to attend a surveillance lobbying event.
@CynicalWolf69@SocialistMMA The one thing is care about the genocide. GENOCIDE. what else is there to care about. how long must blood stain all of our hands
@Forever_noir_@ArtsyMarx1st love the people of philly and my heart goes out to them. With their incredible contributions to art, society, and philosophy they will undoubetedly outlive the nation that seeks to break its revolutionary will. Even if organizing and teaching is a nightmare
@Forever_noir_@ArtsyMarx1st im mostly from Houston and was homeless there before and after my brief stay at tsu and if you just walk the neighborhoods and look where the money moves. The rich areas of the city pump there water to poor neighborhoods during floods. They moved 1-45 forward to polute them more
@Forever_noir_@ArtsyMarx1st this realy should be talked about more the way companies have purposefully choked or killed towns and communities through economic violence is some very visible but is never talked about enough
@miltosyerolemou so for a while they have been heavily subsidized and are classified as a military asset and can force and sue for utilities in the name of national security concerns to cut through red tape. its why theve been built so fast and so wide
@Forever_noir_ it is honestly hard to paint the total picture of the ways we as a nation have been influenced by religious extremism. Its roots are in everything and continue today through its control of social norms, through laws and electorally on people in and outside of the church
Liberals confuse nature for nurture. What they believe is natural is always tied to the cultural values and ideology created through liberalism, not nature itself. Things that happen when you have an ideology formed and reformed by religious zealots
