Never forget that David Ellison's Skydance Media was originally created so he could be an actor.
Skydance's first film was 'Flyboys' starring James Franco and... David Ellison. David and his daddy invested $60m to make Flyboys.
It grossed $17m
Here's a bit of David's acting:

For more than two months, I have been working on a truly horrific story about one of the gravest war crimes committed by the United States since Vietnam: The bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran. It was one of the first targets struck in the opening hours of the war on February 28, 2026.
At least 156 people were killed in the U.S. cruise missile strikes—120 of them were children and 26 were teachers. We spoke to survivors, first responders, parents, doctors, teachers, psychologists, and other witnesses. Some of them had never before shared their experiences of that day.
It would be impossible to do justice to what happened in Minab that day with words alone. In more than 25 years in journalism and reporting on war, I do not believe I have reported on a more heinous single crime.

Please share this story with as many people as you can.

Macklemore says Ed Sheeran and his team decided to remove him from tour due to his comments in support of Palestine, after Kraft Group rallied stadium owners and gave Ed an ultimatum:
“[Ed] told me that the words ‘Free Palestine’ and the image of the Palestinian flag were hurtful to a lot of people he spoke with. I told him that if those words were more offensive than tens of thousands of Palestinian children being killed by Israel, then there was a fundamental disconnect between where those people stood and where I stood. But he couldn't get past his public facing, ‘I don't take sides.’”

The genocide is still happening. There was never a ceasefire. Children are being killed with American made bombs, and those that live are traumatized forever.
The U.S. government must end its complicity in these atrocious acts of ethnic cleansing.

For likely the 1st time in modern history, the Supreme Court decided more cases in fast-tracked, secretive proceedings than in open court.
These “shadow docket” decisions have let the Trump admin. bypass lower courts on ICE stops, abortion access & more: youtube.com/watch?v=MzyxHW5O…

A Palestinian woman who was 8 months pregnant was shot in the head by Israeli forces as she sat in her tent in Gaza.
More than 10 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza in the last 48 hours.

We all know you’re a pathetic grifter willing to say anything for paycheck. But since u asked for an example, here’s one out of literally 1000s of crimes they’ve committed.
They killed this man for the fun of it…

Mitch McConnell has earned more as a corpse in 3 months than a full-time minimum wage worker earns in 3 years.

On September 4th, Trump signed an executive order aimed at stripping federal protection from gray wolves nationwide.
A wolf named BEY03F just proved why that protection matters, the first wolf to walk into Sequoia National Park in over a century, entirely on her own, alive today because of that protection.
Wolves hold entire ecosystems together. When wolves returned to Yellowstone, elk stopped overgrazing the land, trees came back, rivers changed course, whole species of birds and beavers returned.
There's a bill already moving through Congress to make this permanent, H.R. 845. It already passed the House. It's in the Senate right now.
Tell your senators to vote no. Link below.👇

You’re right. Sorry. Turns out you didn’t vote to deny 9/11 first responders healthcare twice. You did it NINE times.

keep in mind his networth is 120mil, so he used approximately 18% of his net worth to do this and actual BILLIONAIRES cry over the idea of a 3% tax increase to fund stuff like this.
THIS is the real life Bruce Wayne.
Christian Bale has officially opened a $22 million foster care village in Palmdale that he helped create.
The village includes 12 homes designed to keep siblings together while in foster care, with programs offered there to ensure support & stability.

An IDF soldier shot a Palestinian child as she walked beside her mother.
Her mother was also shot while carrying a child. We will never forget.

Thais along with Filipinos, have been protesting the invasion of their islands by zionist Jews for over two years, because they've been building illegal Chabad houses and businesses to occupy the land and abuse the locals, and Western media doesn't acknowledge any of it.

"This was one of the kindest and most caring doctors, and one of the kindest and most caring men, in Gaza. I had the pleasure of meeting him twice. Nobody had a single bad word to say about him.
What kind of savages torture doctors to death with dogs, because there is cast iron evidence they have done that to many Palestinian doctors including Dr Adnan Al-Bursh, a leading orthopedic surgeon and another exceptionally caring and giving man.
I pray the Nazi sadists who committed these crimes spend the rest of their lives tormented by PTSD in a locked windowless cell. And that does not even approach the type of justice these fascist torturers deserve."

This is heartbreaking.
"Dr. Hossam’s lawyer warns: his heart is exhausted, his body shattered from continuous torture, and the freezing temperatures in his cell are worsening his suffering.
Between cold walls, the doctor who saved hundreds of children and the wounded is left with no adequate food, no heating, and his health is deteriorating day by day.
🔴 Every moment of silence is a contribution to his suffering.
Any delay in saving him could be the moment that costs him his life.
✊🏻 Speak about him… spread his name… do not let the voice of the doctor who saved lives fade away."

Más del 60% del hábitat del orangután de Borneo (Indonesia) fue destruido solo en los últimos 3 MESES en incendios provocados para que los capitalistas sigan instalando más plantaciones de aceite de palma.
Nadie habla de este ecocidio provocado por intereses del capitalismo, los orangutanes están siendo captados vagando hambrientos buscando algo de comida fuera de su hábitat, han destruido todo su entorno solo para hacer negocio.
Es una situación crítica la que se vive en Borneo y es el perfecto reflejo de este sistema depredador que arrasa con todo solo por aumentar los beneficios económicos de las multinacionales, que meten el aceote de palma en el 50% de los productos del supermercado.

This is the point. Let us not lose the plot, even as we have other important conversations.
