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.
Trump’s out here tossing out autism stats from thin air. Says it used to be “one in 20,000,” now it’s “one in 36,” and asks, “What the hell is that all about?”, like he just cracked a medical mystery.
Here’s the thing: he’s dead wrong on the numbers. Twenty years ago, it wasn’t one in 20,000, it was 1 in 150, according to the CDC. And the rise since then? It’s not some sudden outbreak from outer space, it’s because we got better at recognizing autism, expanded the definition, and started screening kids properly.
He’s not raising awareness—he’s stirring fear. Playing science expert with no science, like autism is some secret plot and not a condition we’ve just finally started to understand.
If he actually cared, he’d listen to doctors, not make up nonsense stories for applause. But caring’s never really been his strong suit, has it?
