“Underrated in the game like Mark Ruffalo”. Aways been a real one!
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.

🚨🇨🇺 massive demonstration happening in Morón, the same place where a handful of violent people vandalized a government office at midnight, days ago.
This huge mobilization is pro-Cuban revolution, so you probably won’t have it referenced on US mainstream media outlets.

The ghouls on this app are reacting to this the way you'd expect, but they are not real people.
Real people--your neighbors, friends, anyone with a conscience--see this and feel angry and sad. Real people know it's wrong.

Do you see that fight for Palestine is the fight for the whole world? A world where no one is disposable, where no one is disappeared—not by ICE or the IDF, where the will of the people of the world matters more than the will of profit and empire. Do you see it?

Palestinian-British ER doctor Dr. Muhammad Mustafa, who has treated patients in Gaza since October 7, warns of a catastrophic health crisis: “A million children are being starved to death… a quarter of the population is in stage 5 famine, where four of every 10,000 children die each day.” At this stage, food alone isn’t enough – without doctors, medicine, and infrastructure, people die from refeeding syndrome and untreated wounds, he tells Breaking Points. He’s been pressing politicians from Ireland, Australia, and the UK to confront this reality and support urgent medical relief.
We just posted an interview @krystalball and I did with Dr Mo and my god. No words. Really a must listen.
Please share this because @elonmusk makes it impossible to share links but if enough people share it sometimes it breaks through the suppression youtu.be/yqLCW7EjwyI?si=TVH2…
