Our team, our local program partners, and every operational partner who helps make this program possible each month are heartbroken at the loss of our founder, Dolly Parton. (cont.)
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.
im still haunted by the memory of a woman who ordered orange syrup in her cappuccino, took a sip, scrunched her nose, and said "I don't know what I was thinking, but thank you anyways."
She sat there and drank the whole thing..i offered to make her something else, and she said, "I am living with the consequences."
We will hold the Taliban accountable for their heinous crimes. We will have justice for Afghan women and girls. We will end gender apartheid. To learn more, follow @EGACampaign and @MalalaFund
thank god for our shop having “women owned” on the front. a dude came in tonight with a girl, telling me everything they were going to get. I start making stencils and girl goes “I want it to look more like this” and shows me her phone screen, an uber showing up in 15 mins. -
Instead of designing around virginity I designed around consent. They are wrapped in a grimy cloak but remain pure as long as their hands haven’t been used to harm another. Purity is not what has been done to you, but what you do to others
