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.
Happy sweet 16 to ‘Scott Pilgrim Vs The World’, a movie gift that keeps on giving. The more the years roll on, the more insane it seems that we actually got to make it. The time spent with the cast and crew of this film was a real joy, and those friendships endure to this day. Thanks to everyone who worked their socks off on it and all of you that saw it (with special bragging rights for those who did so on the opening weekend!).
Here’s to more crazy movies like this!
genuinely having trans people in sports is no more complicated than "yes, if their hormones meet regulation standards" and i'm tired of pretending it's not
Why Is Everyone Scared of Hasan Piker?
@hasanthehun's incendiary clips about Israel have brought flak from both sides of the aisle. But what he wants, he says, is to make people listen.
