@WhiteHouse Cat check: "Ontario" is a Native American word. It's from the Iroquoian language of the Wyandot people and means sparkling water.
"America" is from the name of Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci.
ICC President Tomoko Akane on U.S. sanctions against her:
My credit cards, for example, have already become unusable. I also think that services and apps connected to the United States may become unavailable to me.
At the moment, my credit cards cannot be used, and transactions such as money transfers have already become impossible.
🔴⚡ Ejército israelí asesina de un tiro en l cabeza a un niño en una sede de la ONU
Israel continúa atacando a niños—esta vez dentro de una instalación de la ONU. En 1.000 días, Israel ha matado a alrededor de 25.000 niños palestinos.
Una bala al corazón, y una familia queda destrozada, un futuro se pierde y la esperanza se desvanece. Esto no se trata de una amenaza a la vida. Se trata de niños
@BrainLogicOnly@MarkJCarney@GiorgiaMeloni@POTUS True. Backbone matters. Never learn from Germany, a country who holds great cards in its hands but is so terrible at playing the game! You have leverage, use them!
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.
