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.
Every Republican Senator voted to merge our military with Israel’s military.
The most America LAST thing they could possibly do, selling our military out to a foreign country.
It’s absolute treason and betrayal.
This is a BLATANT violation of the agents' Constitutional duty to render immediate, life-sustaining medical care. Just like with Renee Good, Alex Pretti, Lorenzo Araujo, and so many others, it shows the malicious intent of the ICE agents. The absolute disregard for human life.
ICE has shot and killed yet another man, this time a 26-year-old Colombian in Maine who was not the target of their investigation.
This comes after they killed a Mexican man, who was also not the target of their operation, in Houston last week.
