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 $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
@NYPDnews This is so wasteful @NYCSanitation you could’ve partnered with other city agencies to redistribute or auction them outside the city and use money for social services
Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba
I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film
As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes
It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions.
But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken
Clean water has been distributed to displaced families living in tents in Gaza.
Getting water may seem like something simple in other parts of the world. Here, it is no longer a guaranteed right, but a daily struggle. Long lines of children and parents stand for hours just to get a small amount of water for their families.
Seeing children filling their containers with clean water is a powerful moment that cannot be forgotten… a moment that gives them a small sense of safety in the middle of all this suffering.
But the painful truth is that many families are still waiting for their turn. If we cannot deliver water to them, they may have nothing to drink.
Your donations make a real difference.
Your contribution could simply mean that a child will not go to sleep thirsty tonight.

The chaos of bombardment in a dense urban enclave generates data on how humans react under stress, former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis recalled a Palantir executive telling him. “The more bombardment and havoc, the better the training.”
In an interview with Drop Site, he said the rep also told him that “as the bombs fell we were having a party,” because Gaza was becoming a live laboratory for AI.
“This is the first instance in history where it is the suffering of a people being subjected to genocide and bombing—the suffering itself—which is adding to the capital of a company which then uses that capital to produce commodities to sell elsewhere,” Varoufakis told @_jwhittall.
🎥 He recently repeated the account at a live event. Video attached.
