We cannot allow the historic & horrific events of the past 48 hours to fade without significant consequences. In our 100+ years of history, @ADL has never called for the President of the United States to be removed from office. Today, that changes. adl.org/news/press-rel…
What occurred on Wed. was inexcusable. An act of domestic terror was encouraged by President Trump & organized on social media. It will be remembered as one of the darkest days of our democracy & makes it unambiguously clear: President Trump is unfit for office & must be removed.
The images of extremists assaulting police officers, rampaging through the halls of Congress, desecrating the symbol of our democracy had no precedent in our history. The incitement of the mob by @realDonaldTrump was an amoral act that debases the presidency & imperils society.
Further, ADL is calling for a transparent investigation into the failings of law enforcement. This includes inadequate deployment & disturbing inequities between the treatment of Black Lives Matter protesters over the summer in comparison to armed extremists storming the Capitol.
Finally, ADL, along with the #StopHateForProfit coalition, has called on all social media platforms to #BanTrumpSaveDemocracy & permanently remove him by 1/20 & for brands/companies to pull back advertising on these networks until Trump is entirely removed.
These are the bare minimum steps that must occur. Racism, antisemitism, xenophobia, Islamophobia & other forms of hate were on full display as extremists committed violence & sedition. We must root out this evil in order to heal as a nation. The process starts in the Oval Office.

THREAD: In the wake of the violence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, @Twitter must enforce its rules suspending accounts that post & spread QAnon conspiracy theories that glorify violence, target democratic institutions & seed militant insurrection. adl.org/qanon
QAnon played a key role in the terror attack on the Capitol. QAnon accounts on Twitter and other platforms hailed the violence as a first step in a civil war. According to reports, QAnon supporters were among the first militants to enter the Capitol. usatoday.com/story/tech/202…
One of these supporters, Jake Angeli, a far-right conspiracy theorist dubbed the “QAnon Shaman,” has been a visible presence at several far-right rallies supporting the president’s attempts to discredit the 2020 election. news.yahoo.com/well-known-qan…

Facebook recently made some announcements in response to demands that the civil rights groups in #StopHateForProfit called for earlier this summer.

It's been a few months, so @ADL has taken a look at how they’ve done in addressing our common sense requests.

Our findings👇
Are ads still running next to hateful content?
The answer is clear: yes.

Not only are they still running, but hatred festers and isn't particularly hard to find. See these few examples below.
Does Facebook still allow large groups and pages that spew racism, antisemitism, hate and conspiracy theories?

Again, the answer is yes.

Facebook still tolerates “Exposing the Rothschilds,” a group with over 130k members and “George Soros: The Enemy Within,” with over 4k.

(1/5) We at @ADL support bipartisan efforts to combat #antiSemitism on campus and in all venues, offline and online.
(2/5) I've seen a draft of the EO & I can tell you it:

➡️Protects Jews and other religious minorities from discrimination under Title VI, but does NOT break new ground on identifying Jews as a protected class

➡️Adopts @TheIHRA definition of #antiSemitism
(3/5) @TheIHRA definition is not legally binding and provides valuable guidance on #antiSemitism, giving law enforcement & campus officials an important tool to help identify and fight this #hate.
