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.
@Lovandfear I’ve been doing a project where I re-read the same book and highlight parts with different colors each time, fascinating to see how what I relate to has changed and what’s stayed the same
It is essential we do not break our fast with dates grown with the blood of our brothers and sisters.
Can't imagine being asked about how we broke our fast, and this is the answer.

I'm a big fan of the "GPS Theory" when you miss a turn, your GPS doesn't judge you, it recalculates. No matter how many detours you take, it finds another way forward. Life works like that too. You'll make mistakes, but your destination doesn't vanish. The route just changes.
Fmr Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz laments to Jewish Federation that people are finding content from "Al Jazeera and Nick Fuentes" on social media and seeing videos of "the carnage in Gaza."
Holocaust education has backfired in part as people see Palestinians as Jews' victims, she adds.
"They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."
(The lesson they were supposed to get is that it gives Israel the right to commit genocide in perpetuity.)
Hamas released all of the hostages and Israel didn’t stop killing Palestinians
Every single person who said “All Hamas has to do is release the hostages” were lying on behalf of a genocidal ethnostate
We all knew this anyway, but it’s worth pointing out again and again
He literally gave his life documenting Israeli atrocities, and the day after his death they erase it all. It’s evil. They’re sending the message they will erase us. They justify and then conceal the war crimes, beyond complicity its collaboration in genocide.
Just found out that every Samsung phone post-2022 has an Israeli app called 'AppCloud' whose only purpose is to provide a backdoor into your device. It installs apps without your permission. It cannot he deactivated or uninstalled.
“Why do we even have Muslims in Congress?”
This is a top adviser to the president. If every top political journalist at the Post, Times, CNN, etc, isn’t covering this & making a scandal out of this, it’s yet another reminder that they are soft on Trump & ok with Islamophobia.
Unfortunately, I will die 😭
