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.
Do not let Tarik Skubal becoming a Dodger distract you from the fact that Shohei Ohtani illegally wired millions of dollars to an offshore bookie and made his close friend and interpreter take the fall for him so he could avoid prison time and continue to bring billions to MLB.
I hope Bob Melvin enjoyed watching Mason Miller and the padres pitching staff absolutely light his team on fire and bury them in the dirt last night. It’s beautiful that he finally gets to live out his life long dream of watching these things from the home dugout at oracle

My doomsday theory is the doom is stockpiling the most powerful characters, he takes Franklin, resurrects Wanda and takes Jean from the X-men franchise and knowing marvel probably one character we haven’t seen in a movie yet (like gambit)
