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.
olivia rodrigo writing a song about the women who willingly support the very system that oppresses them… genuinely one of the most important songs ever.
In Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale", Serena Joy is a conservative, religious woman of high status. She used to be a prominent activist & public speaker who defended conservative ideas, only to have her own power stripped away once the system was established.
"She doesn't make speeches anymore. She has become speechless. She stays in her home, but it doesn't seem to agree with her. How furious she must be, now that she's been taken at her word." (The Handmaid's Tale - Chapter 8)
— In the song "serena joy", Olivia explores the hypocrisy of conservative women believing the system they uphold will somehow spare them, only to realize that ironically, it will oppress them too: "if they do it to them, they'll do it to you. if they do it to them, they're gonna do it to you"
Perdón por mi opinión de extrema izquierda, pero después de ver cómo España ha sido atacada por sus enemigos en el exterior (EEUU e Israel vía Marruecos) lo último que se me ocurriría es apoyar a políticos que son aliados de estos enemigos.
De lo contrario, sería un traidor.
Security opening the gates without a care in the world, and the majority of people running through are young men in swimming shorts and casual clothing in relatively good condition. No women, no children, no families, no change of clothes, no bags, no documents and we’re supposed to believe this doesn’t appear to be organised.
