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.
NUMBER 1 🏆 🇮🇪 🔥
Muintir na hÉireann, is Grá linn sibh 💚
We're buzzing to be number 1 in the Irish charts. A big part of KNEECAP has always been bringing the Irish language into the contemporary space, so young people see the language is of value and on par with any other language.
And with this also comes showing solidarity with those who need it most around the world and at home.
This past year though, as the British state witch-hunt came for us, we got solidarity from across this island - electric picnic being one of our highlights this year with 50,000 of us in a field.
GRMA to everyone who got the album and we'll see you this Summer to celebrate FENIAN.
Free Palestine
Free the 6 counties
Free Nicky Kelly
Na Fenians Abú
Grá Mór 🇮🇪

When people say ‘what has become of our country’ the man in the white shirt is who we are. Not the black shirt.
Horrible things happen in this world, committed by horrific people. What we are is how we respond.
