I don’t think people fully understand what’s happening. We’re not being priced out of luxury. We’re being priced out of normal. A house, car, Groceries, Childcare, Insurance,These weren’t extravagant expectations 20 years ago.
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.
The trans athlete debate is one of the biggest political distractions of our generation. The NCAA president testified that there are fewer than 10 openly transgender athletes out of 510k NCAA athletes. Yet this small issue dominates headlines.
@s317rc@noinconsistency If it’s real it’s just a person who needs mental help. There’s a real lack of accessible healthcare in the US if you’ve never paid attention.
@ryanquinn142002@cenkuygur 1. Palestinians will retaliate after decades of ethnic cleansing.
2. You are putting the blame on victims for crimes other people committed just because they’re Muslim. Should every American be punished for Hiroshima? That attack was much more coordinated.
