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.
@protectedpick I’m blown away when I think about how alike the greatest comedies from the 2000s (Arrested Development), 2010s (Veep), and 2020s (Succession).
You can see the Pokémon-type evolution between each of them, and none of the later would exist without the former blazing that trail.
@scooperhoops 4 out of the 5 started about 70% of our games last year. Crazy to think even with this, they ended with a league average defense fg% and top ten DRtg.
@protectedpick@scooperhoops@TheTimelinePod For the main feed, Max joined for 16 eps, Kellan for 15, with David and Gerald at 9. Kellan has 1 more on the Patreon. Those guys really bring it when they join.
And pour one out for Playback. That was a legendary time.
@protectedpick@scooperhoops@TheTimelinePod Can 100% confirm I love Sam’s misery because it’s the only time I know there is a Suns fan more miserable than me.
And Mike, that Finals intro literally brought tears to my eyes as a fan that attended his first game in 1982 as a 6 year old.
💜🧡 to you both
.@RepChipRoy, permanent DST would push Texas sunrise later than 8am for 5 months, later even than 9am! It costs lives and business when tried! Replace the Sunshine Protection Act with the Sunshine for Our Kids Act, in Rules Committee at 4pm Monday!
“Stand for Health Freedom” is just another lobbyist fighting against evidence-based healthcare, raising the costs for all of us.
Typical for Biggs to take their money and align with them—he doesn’t care about Arizonans that need real healthcare reform.
Protecting the health of families and our medical freedoms will always be a top priority of mine as Governor of Arizona.
Very pleased to have the endorsement of @standforhealth1 as our campaign builds a broad coalition of support!
Return your Biggs for Governor ballot ASAP!
@GeraldBourguet Definitely feels like the Suns have asked about him in every one of their 7 trades with Charlotte.
They finally said fine, this is what it will cost you.
And the Suns were dumb enough to do it--while also destroying their pretense of building a high-character team.
To me, Miles Bridges seems like the kind of player whom a team gets stuck with and finds themselves unable to unload without including assets… as opposed to a guy another team should have to give up *anything* of value for. Due to his past actions, I will never watch Bridges with anything approaching glee. Quite the contrary, deep misgivings. Also, I don’t think he’s all that on the floor. Fail.
