So would it be less ill-phrased if the actress was white? I'm pretty sure he was talking about the character as opposed to the actor so not understanding this. Maybe I'm just a bit slow.

Maybe its the context. The film is about the green witch being misunderstood and mistreated isn't it? Her being black green being part of that. She's just such a massive wicked fan that she couldn't take slander against the green witch. Which is a totally sane and reasonable response? I mean if someone talked smack about Nicholas Cage then you'd have to report them obviously.

Ahh I see! I genuinely never even looked at it in that context. I just thought "yeah he's talking about the green one".

As for the bolded, they would get a black eye before they could finish talking that smack,

Scariest about all this is that the muh right to free speech folks who claim to be suppressed will cheer this one. Them once the paradigm has been shifted it will be incredibly hard for future moderate or left ish administration to restore the right to free speech since in essence they are unlocking the ability for certain peoole to exercise it again. Which clearly can be used against them. Some of the damage being done today will take more than a generation to undo.
 
Decades of obscure, ignored, think-pieces about the "Israel exception to free speech:, tenure cancellations and job losses nobody cared about, and now the govt officially says that support for Zionism is more important than the first amendment.

Rubio today also said that even a green card in and of itself is not a right to stay in the country. The fast erosion of rights in this country is absolutely staggering.

Now that 'what you believe is true' is in vogue, 'rights' no longer exist.... except in an individuals view of what is right.
We have to recognise that we have nearly reached the..... 'taking over the asylum point'!!
 


The US Justice Department is examining whether student protests at Columbia University over the genocide in Gaza violated federal terrorism laws, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said today.


Blanche’s department previously said the investigation is also looking into civil rights violations, stemming from the administration’s expanded definition of antisemitism to include criticism of Israel.
 
Protesting genocide is terrorism. It's like orwell and kafka had a baby.
 
People fecking hate Israel, more now than ever. The popular opinion and moral sentiment stands against this abomination.

Israel represents apartheid, genocide, rape and starvation. Most people find these things repellent. And yet our leaders want these things to be normalised, accepted, enshrined. They are telling you that it's one way but it's another.

There are international warrants out for the arrest of their political leaders. You are not going mad for being repulsed by what Israel has done and continues to do. You are not wrong for not falling in line and accepting the unacceptable. This isn't ok.

And it's not just Trump that is responsible for this shame. Starmer, Lammy, Biden, Harris and the entire Western political establishment wanted this, they repeatedly threatened this, but it took Trump to do what they were all too cowardly to do and bring the full brutal might of the state down against its own people, in defence of the Apartheid state of Israel.

It's imperative that people continue to speak the truth about what Israel really is and the ongoing atrocities that they have done, even in the face of threats and violence by the state. Because the alternative is to capitulate to the fascism of a foreign government and the oppression of your own.
 
Israeli spokespeople and IDF spokespeople for false balance. Get the Iranians and Hamas and Hezbollah on. Balance.

Israel is embedded within the West as an activist group. Entirely propaganda based and mobilize around this whenever anything happens. The thing is, they're always wrong unless they just admit their wrongdoing. That's not balance. It's ideological perversion.
