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.

My "Roman Empire is the realization that my life is a lottery win. Somewhere in Sudan, Pålestine, iran, Afghanistan, Iraq or Congo, there is a boy smarter than me. He is more disciplined, more resilient, and holds more potential in his single finger than I do in my entire career.
The only difference? I am siting in a train and he is sting in the rubble of his dreams.
My "bad days" are his wildest dreams.
My "burnout" is a luxury he can't afford because his only job is staying alive.
It's geographical luck and it's a haunting injustice that we all refuse to acknowledge and look away

This isn’t a small deal. Restaurant Depot is where most mom & pop restaurants go to buy inventory because Sysco is so expensive.

Restaurant Depot was privately owned. Sysco is owned by… you guessed it, BlackRock & Vanguard.

Now private equity can control pricing for food costs with zero competition. Just like they did with housing.

This should be an anti-trust violation, but we have politicians that work for Big Corp, not us.

Ring paid somewhere between $8 and $10 million for a 30-second Super Bowl spot to tell 120 million viewers that their cameras now scan neighborhoods using AI.

The math is wild. Ring has roughly 20 million devices in American homes. Search Party is enabled by default. The opt-out rate on default settings in consumer tech is historically around 5%. So approximately 19 million cameras are now running AI pattern matching on anything that moves past your front door. Today the target is dogs. The same infrastructure already handles “Familiar Faces,” which builds biometric profiles of every person your camera sees, whether they know about it or not.

Ring settled with the FTC for $5.8 million after employees had unrestricted access to customers’ bedroom and bathroom footage for years. They’re now partnered with Flock Safety, which routes footage to local law enforcement. ICE has accessed Flock data through local police departments acting as intermediaries. Senator Markey’s investigation found Ring’s privacy protections only apply to device owners. If you’re a neighbor, a delivery driver, a passerby, you have no rights and no recourse.

This tells you everything about Amazon’s actual product. The customer paid for the camera. The customer pays the electricity. The customer pays the $3.99/month subscription. And Amazon gets a surveillance grid that would cost tens of billions to build from scratch, with an AI layer activated by default, and a law enforcement pipeline already connected.

They wrapped all of that in a lost puppy commercial because that’s the only version of this story anyone would willingly opt into.

Children and women chanting “let us out” at the Dilley Concentration Center that Trump has set up in Texas, as they apparently wear color-coded jackets.

It’s like a scene from “The Handmaid’s Tale” or 1930s Germany.

Are Republicans going to take away our guns now?

But good thing we didn’t get “Comrade” Kamala in office. THAT would have been terrible, amiright.

[Really American 🇺🇸 @ReallyAmerican1]

BREAKING: In a shocking moment, Trump appears to place limits on the 2nd Amendment: "You can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns."

And MAGA thought Obama would take their guns!

[Joe Vargas @AngryJoeShow]

As predictable as ever. They will say the dude who was LAWFULLY and LEGALLY carrying was there to "MASSACRE" everyone. LOL! As if every Gun owner is a crazy person! Fuck this WEAK transparent narrative. The guy was FILMING and observing them, then they pepper sprayed him. Rushed and attacked him with 7 ppl for pissing them off - its on video for everyone to see. They had NO IDEA he owned a firearm, THEN AFTER discovering a pistol in his BACK waistband (that was REMOVED by an agent, guy NEVER brandish it as they are trying to make it seem) another agent FREAKED out when he HEARD someone say the words "He has a gun!" and proceeds to SHOOT HIM repeatedly in the back - because FUCK HIM HES A PROTESTOR AND ANNOYING US. Where the fuck is the NRA? The Libertarians. The Republicans who love the constitution. OPEN YOUR FUCKING EYES PEOPLE. Watch the videos. They are lying to your face because they know you are so fucking STUPID. (To be fair some you actually are) but IM TIRED OF LOW IQ ppl buying ALL of their BULLSHIT. WAKE UP. This man DID NOT DESERVE TO DIE. If you'll accept this "narrative", you will accept any narrative. Who cares about the truth?

REPUBLICANS STARTED BREAD LINES ALREADY BY REFUSING TO RELEASE SNAP FUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ryan Shead @RyanShead]

@C_3C_3 Never forget republicans refused to take care of 9/11 first responders for 20 years, with some dying before they could get covered and compensated.

…and now you disgusting people use these deaths as a weapon against people of color in support of a felon, fraud, and rapist.

[Ricky @backtothericky]

Do not vote with hate, vote with hope. Cuomo is running a campaign on fear and hate - of keeping the status quo and cozying up to an authoritarian president.
Let’s vote with hope, and aspire to be a better city for all.

Vote #NYC !
