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.
noticing the epstein connection to every single person that ratfucked corbyn with false antisemitism smears because they hated his morally correct humanitarian position on israel.
The election of Donald Trump is a dark day for reproductive healthcare, the rights of refugees and the future of our planet.
As we speak, people are being slaughtered in Gaza and Lebanon. Our demands on our governments have not changed: stop enabling genocide and end all arms sales to Israel.
We are a global movement, made up of all faiths and backgrounds, united in our opposition to racism and hatred. We will never abandon hope in a more equal, sustainable and peaceful world.
This is a dark, dark day for people around the globe. The world’s largest economy and most powerful military will be led by a dangerous, destructive demagogue.
This is the correct decision, and an important first step in respecting the universal application of international law.
Well done to the millions of people across the country who have made it clear that they refuse to be complicit in war crimes.
We will continue to demand an end to the massacre in Gaza, an end to all arms sales to Israel, and an end to the occupation of Palestine.
I find it very alarming that so many agree with the protest sentance. It doesn't matter whether you agree with JSO it matters that you have the right to protest....this is a legal overreach and we should all be worried.
Labour's manifesto promised to "remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition & acceptance".
That entails ending the Tories' ban on puberty blockers.
Young people – cis & trans – must have access to healthcare they need. I'll always stand with the trans community.
You know what?
All Tory MPs should just defect to Labour, get it over and done with, so we can drop any remaining pretence that there's a sizeable difference between the two parties.
saw this clip again of brennan that’s relevant now more than ever. when someone calls into question the force we use to fight against oppressors remember whose boot is on your throat. it’s always theirs.
The fact that these attacks have started the same week the Green Party have had historic results makes the real motives here more than utterly blatant.
And again, as a Jewish person - this treating of antisemitism as a game makes me feel considerably less safe - not more so.
The UN Security Council has finally voted for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. It must be implemented, now.
It is a stain on humanity that it took the deaths of more than 30,000 people to bring this about. We will continue to campaign for peace, justice, and a free Palestine.
I just quit Labour after 24 years.
We deserve better than the race to the bottom between Labour and the Tories.
Labour want you to think there's no alternative. But there is.

Nex, a nonbinary teenager, was reportedly beaten to death in a high school bathroom last week.
This is horrifying, and comes as lawmakers are increasingly spreading fear over trans people in bathrooms.
I got so much shit for talking about Hogwarts Legacy from people saying things like "show me where she's spent her money on transphobia", well here you fucking go.
