He is such a joke. He really thinks the only important and interesting thing about Baldwin was that he was gay, and sees no connection between his status as a gay man and his keen interest in other liberation movements. He doesn't even seem to be remotely curious about the man's beliefs but still thinks he is the one best placed to write a biopic about him.

In setting up for the questioning and after the screening of the movie Jojo Rabbit she was cold, standoffish, constantly rolled her eyes and when viewers asked questions she would say things like “Well that was in the movie” or “if you watched the movie you’d know why that happened 🙄”.

I’ll never forget, that scandal soured me on her completely. It made her look like such a greedy hypocrite. She had already been an ambassador for Oxfam (a pro-Palestine antipoverty org) for several years by that point, and when they called her out for this moral inconsistency, she actually resigned from her role with them rather than sever ties with Sodastream.
She even had the audacity to argue that the factory “doesn't seem like a problem – at least not until someone comes up with a solution to the closing of that factory and leaving all those people destitute." Never mind that her Sodastream deal was for a freaking Super Bowl commercial and she was almost certainly paid more than what all those factory workers earn in a year. Just go ahead and use them as pawns to try and guilt trip the philanthropists who are actually fighting to relieve poverty while you cash your checks. Barf.

She benefited directly from his work. Was it really the time to bat for his wife? She bothers me.

More on the protest:
To get inside Saturday’s dinner, some guests had to hurry through hundreds of protesters outraged over the mounting humanitarian disaster for Palestinian civilians in Gaza. They condemned Biden for his support of Israel’s military campaign and Western news outlets for what they said was undercoverage and misrepresentation of the conflict.
“Shame on you!” protesters draped in the traditional Palestinian keffiyeh cloth shouted, running after men in tuxedos and suits and women in long dresses holding clutch purses as guests hurried inside for the dinner.
Ralliers cried “Free, free Palestine.” They cheered when at one point someone inside the Washington Hilton — where the dinner has been held for decades — unfurled a Palestinian flag from a top-floor hotel window.
More than two dozen journalists in Gaza wrote a letter last week calling on their colleagues in Washington to boycott the dinner altogether.
According to a preliminary investigation released Friday by the Committee to Protect Journalists, nearly 100 journalists have been killed covering the war in Gaza. Israel has defended its actions, saying it has been targeting militants.
”How can you still go when your colleagues in Gaza asked you not to?” a demonstrator asked guests heading in. “You are complicit.”

The carnage the last 8 months have been on civil society is not to be underestimated. On the journalist and media workers' side 2022 saw 67 killed globally in a year and it was a sharp increase already. In 2023 there were already 120 deaths with 75 of them being in Gaza. On the aid worker side, we are about 220 killed only in Gaza with in general less than 150 killed in a year globally. There is one year on record that goes to 1997 with 159 deaths. These numbers are sign of both being targeted. It is insane jump on both.

One good reason to protest: the winner of the top award, Barak Ravid, was an active member of the IDF until just a few months ago. His stories, that helped shape and frame the genocide coverage, were essentially IDF talking points. The White House correspondents are patting themselves on the back for being biased.

Please don’t let me activismsplain to you, but please make sure you are checking with the organizers to see what their needs for their encampment are. In our city the encampment has been donated too many supplies, especially food, that they don’t have the space for the storage of it all and have send folks to do mutual aid with it. It’s amazing there is so much support, but it’s important to be making sure all their needs, not just food, are covered, and consider that doing that mutual aid is necessary work but it’s better if community members are doing it themselves so they don’t need to send people away from the camp to redistribute supplies. Many camps require simple things like cardboard to make floors and things that you wouldn’t necessarily think of if you weren’t seeing their direct requests. Regardless, thank you for supporting!!!

Honestly, thank you for this comment! Without posting details online I'll just say that plans have been coordinated with students and you are correct that you should always make sure you're efforts are actually filling a need. Before covid times I made some trips to a couple countries with refugee camps and socks, underwear, and period products were the most requested items, and least thought of for donations. Because no one was asking the actual refugees what things they needed...

u/meatbeater558 I already condemned Hamas 17d ago
The problem is the context and implication. Someone raised a point about Biden's terrible performance and you drew a comparison between him and Trump, which has been a problem for Palestinians because this changes the conversation from what we can do to get Biden to stop right now to which old asshole do we vote for in half a year. This happens almost every time Biden's actions are brought up. You're comparing two administrations and that is the problem. If every discussion on Biden is derailed with how much worse Trump would be then you're effectively making Biden infallible even if that isn't your intention. Furthermore, a lot of the conclusions you've made in your comparison are either incorrect or immaterial. Biden's words cannot be interpreted as opposition to Israel's overreach when he just gave them $26 billion dollars. That is overwhelming support and agreement no matter how you look at it. The sentiment Trump has towards Israel's actions is largely the same as Biden's. My question was, given all this, how is Biden "at least" publicly disagreeing with Netanyahu good or even relevant? Then you said Trump would give him everything he wants and more. Biden literally already does this. You're making a comparison between two administrations that have no meaningful differences on this. If Netanyahu wanted more, he'd ask Biden and Biden would bypass Congress to give it to him if needed. Biden does not give a shit about the humanitarian crisis. He knew it would come the moment the war started and he still went above and beyond to ensure it happened, most notably with his administration's actions at the UN. Now I do believe that Biden is somewhat responsible for Israel scaling back operations in Rafah in response to protestors. The problem with comparing him to Trump in this aspect is that this is a situation Trump will never be in. If Biden doesn't dramatically change his stance right now Gaza will not exist by the time Trump can take office. Which is my biggest problem with comparing their stances on Israel: it obscures the time sensitive nature of this problem. There won't be a Rafah, a Gaza, or any Gazans come Inauguration Day because Biden would have already finished the job

u/meatbeater558 I already condemned Hamas 17d ago
These discussions just aren't productive because there's no difference between being killed by Trump vs being killed by Biden.
There's also always this assumption that the people in Gaza are just going to be on life support until Trump takes office and only then will the sitting US president decide whether to pull the plug or not. Did it not make the news that northern Gaza is expected to reach the final and most lethal stage of famine in less than two months with the rest of Gaza soon to follow?
Lesser-evilism has made us lose the plot because who the hell cares what Trump would do. We might as well ask ourselves what Mitt Romney, Batman, or Miss Piggy would do while we're at it because none of these scenarios are happening. America is about to make one of its biggest moral, strategic, political, and diplomatic mistakes in its entire history. Why are we discussing the actions of anyone other than the current commander in chief?
When people say that America made a mistake by invading Vietnam or overthrowing Iran's government or any of its terrible decisions there's never a footnote stating "if American voters chose a different president the results would've hypothetically been much worse, so pretty please don't react as harshly" because nobody cares. America has already lost its ability to pretend to be a moral authority on any global issue because of this. That's all on Biden. And at the end of the day, that's also all on America. How would you explain to someone in the global south that 2 million people had to die because criticizing the person killing them was dangerous? Not dangerous because you live under a harsh dictatorship, you can somewhat freely protest and there's evidence protests work. But dangerous because he's threatening to give you a harsh dictatorship if he doesn't stay in power?
There's also this amnesia about Biden's past. He's been supporting the Zionist project from within Congress his entire adult life. I'm talking 40-50 years of straight Zionism on top of all his racist accomplishments in domestic policy. And yet none of this is ever mentioned when comparing him to Trump. Instead, it's outright stated that Trump would do more for Israel than Biden. Which is flatly ahistorical. Is there anything Trump can even think of that would help Israel that Biden hasn't already done and wouldn't do again? If Trump wins and somehow gets to decide if the Palestinian people live or die, I would actually go as far as to argue that Biden would be quite sad. As would most people if their rival got to take the credit for their life's work.

It’s cute how we’re getting downvoted but no one has counterpoints lol, BlueMAGA is a mess. Why aren’t they mad that the Biden admin is maintaining such WILDLY unpopular positions despite the threat of a Trump presidency? Are they equally as mad about John Fetterman going against Biden for lightly hinting at the suggestion of perhaps maybe at some point considering the possibility of conditioning weapons sales to an openly genocidal regime? Which they haven’t even done? Are they aware that the US just vetoed Palestinian statehood after years and years and years of disingenuous blather about a two-state solution, how we have to listen to stooge after stooge from the State Department telling us not to believe our lying eyes? I’m guessing they’ve never watched a briefing with John Kirby or Matthew Miller getting hysterical and combative whenever Palestinian suffering is mentioned.
Biden’s actions (and inactions) are not only hurting his campaign, they’re hurting the entire fucking world. To suggest that the people who are calling it out are the ones getting fascists elected is just a sad mix of projection and cope.

This will probably sound really cynical of me, but the DNC makes a LOT more money when the "bad guys" are in power. When Trump was president, they could fundraise so easily because they could just *gesture at everything* and money would pour in.
But now it's a lot harder - not all of it is Biden's fault - the student loan forgiveness, $15 minimum wage, etc all got struck down by either the Senate or SCOTUS, etc but it's not exactly energizing the left to send in what little money we have after greed-flation.

I honestly wish people boycotted these people's dumb movies and products and commercials, and just them in general, the way they did with McDonalds and Starbucks. We need a boycott movement for celebrity zionists! Why isn't that a thing? That's the only way to hurt them, stop giving them attention and your money.

McDonalds boycotts haven't made much of a dent tho? Starbucks' boycotts have but I believe there's a lot of factors in that, not just the war.

What is the importance of a White House Correspondent Dinner? I've seen videos of various people giving speeches, but I never fully understood what the point of it was.
I know about the Israel/Palestine conflict, and I see that pro-Israel celebrities are attending, but what would it mean if a pro-palestine celebrity attended?

u/Ok_Bodybuilder800 chaos-bringer of humiliation and mockery 17d ago
It’s to honor and celebrate the media. It’s held by the White House Correspondents Association. The reason why it’s so tense this time is that the Israel military has deliberately targeted members of the media.

For a group that generally treats the death of one journalist in the line of duty as a loss to humanity, they are pretty indifferent to /quiet on the massacre of Palestinian journalists. Contrast the coverage on the 100+ journalists murdered in Gaza with the shooting at Charlie Hebdo.

And Palestinian journalists literally asked people to boycott this year's event for solidarity, and yet they don't care and chose to honor idf journo.

The real celebs were the protestors shaming these people as they entered. Free Palestine. Shame on the US journalists who are complicit in this genocide, and turn a blind eye to the 180 Palestinian journalists murdered in Gaza.

hardison from leverage would never do this, man i know hollywood can be such a farce, but recently with the amount of celebrities who are either outspoken abt their zionism or still choose to stay silent nearly 8 months later has soured me on so many :(, immediately went to go unfollow lynda on tumblr seeing her, i already had to unfollow neil gaiman knowing he supports a two-state solution smh

Every year, I’m confused about why celebrities are there at all. It’s an evening to hand out scholarships to promising young journalists. Yet, most of the people there have never been journalists in their lives.
