The concept of Gloria Steinem dying with less rights than the ones she fought for is one of the most devastating fucking things in the world I HATE what we’ve become
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.
There’s a very annoying type of southern white gay who gets popular online every few years for this faggy conservative act while doing an egregious blaccent (Landon Romano, Southern Momma etc)
And y’all idiots fall for it every time
Ariana Grande has heard more for her album and her physique, than Chris Brown for being an abuser, Nicki Minaj for being openly a maga, D4vd for being a murderer and Kanye West for being a n*zi
and the fact that we weren’t even supposed to get a tour let alone an ENTIRELY new album but she was so excited to be back with us and share her craft with us again and it was all tarnished by outside noise and fake empathy. we never deserved ariana and her love.
Sooooo…. Bias doesn’t always look like slurs or violence. Sometimes it looks like who gets isolated first, who gets believed least, who gets labeled “too much,” and who becomes the easiest person to vote out. That’s exactly why these conversations matter.
This is exactly why I’d love to do another TV show. I genuinely believe people like myself, and so many other alphabet people I know, can become the anomaly that challenges those social patterns. Sometimes all it takes is someone refusing to fit into the role people subconsciously assign them. The more we’re seen as fully realized, complex people instead of stereotypes or …”the other,” the harder those biases become to maintain.
After Beyonce became the first black person to win best country album the grammys split the genre between traditional country and contemporary country to make it harder for another black artist to win again in the traditional category
