You say that, but the heart and soul are more complex than that🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
Calling someone “retarded” and reducing their entire existence to an insult does not protect the truth.
Harsh words may feel strong and satisfying to you in the moment,
but they close every door, replace dialogue with contempt, and leave only pain and distance.
And that pain will eventually come back to you as well.
There is no need to insult people whose innate sex and soul do not align.
Trans women and other LGBT people are not asking for your acceptance or understanding,
so your argument does not need cruelty.
They only ask you to leave them alone and watch from a distance.
You are capable of treating people with more kindness.
I believe that would also make your own life richer.
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.
We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.
Seven-year-old Anwar al-Ashi died this morning from acute kidney failure after Israeli approval to leave Gaza for urgent medical treatment abroad never came.
He is one of thousands of patients trapped in Gaza, waiting for life-saving care that remains out of reach.
