The ADL is a pro-Israel lobbying org that cheer led Trump when he moved the US embassy to Jerusalem and tore up the Iran deal. Its CEO actually attended the ceremony for the former and took selfies. That it gets cited a neutral “civil rights group” is an unmitigated con job
The ADL not only lobbied against the Iran deal, they also praised Trump’s “maximum pressure” sanctions and assassination regime against Iran. What does this have to do with “civil rights” one may ask? Beats me! adl.org/news/press-rel…
A leaked memo revealed ADL planned on running PR for Netanyahu after he announced Israel was formally annexing the West Bank—while acting as if they weren’t defending the move so as to maintain liberal credibility jewishcurrents.org/adl-formulates…
Due to its long history of smearing black and Muslim organizations, over a 100 progressive groups launched a #DroptheADL campaign last year to combat their co-option of anti-racist activism droptheadl.org

Silicon Valley weirdos are melting down over an alleged “shoplifting epidemic” ImageImageImageImage
The article is extremely thin, interviews only corporate PR flacks and pro-carceral voices, namely the police. Zero criminal justice reformers or anti-poverty advocates. Though he’s not named its clearly a hit piece on reform DA Chesa Boudin . nytimes.com/2021/05/21/us/…
The piece let’s police officials assert, without evidence, the shoplifting “epidemic” is part of “an organized crime” ring, a go-to talking point police use to obscure the reality of poverty and high cost of living and make liberals feel good about cracking down on diaper thieves

Super tight we learned all the wrong lessons from 1/6 and somehow, like always, the security state came out the big winner. Basically replaced Russiagate as an FBI reputation polishing fundraising drive for the worst carceral and surveillance forces in society
A white nationalist mob attacks the capitol and democrats’ solution is to dole out millions more to police and carceral institutions chock full of MAGA chuds. rollcall.com/2021/05/20/hou…
Look forward to the FBI completely ignoring actual white nationalist threats being organized in broad daylight while they spend the next four years entrapping Cletus so they can making splashy headlines and undermine calls to defund their police

Shameless spin for Biden’s support of war crimes—Biden backed Israel for 11 days while it leveled Gaza and this is the bullshit we get. The ONLY expert cited in this piece who agrees with this assessment is pro-Netanyahu, pro MBS shill, and AIPAC spin off WINEP fellow Dennis Ross
Just look at how thin this is, two reliably pro Biden spin artists manufacturing a narrative based purely in assertion nytimes.com/2021/05/21/wor…
Let’s take a look at the previous output from the ONE (1) expert here saying Biden backing Israel somehow gave us the ceasefire, noted humanitarian Dennis Ross

Yousef Munayyer, today in the NYT, on why pundits and politicians need to dump the useless "two state" "peace process" rhetoric.
nytimes.com/2021/05/19/opi… Image
Many Palestinians theoretically support two states, but in American discourse––in practice––appealing to a nebulous, decades-away "two state solution" and "peace process" is, at its core, a way of avoiding the messy reality of apartheid. It simply avoids acknowledging reality.

love to see it
every year the White Sox celebrate a homophobic, racist white mob riot & treat it like whimsical lore

For a team that nominally represents the black section of Chicago, maybe things like this & hiring a Kaepernick-bashing dinosaur alienates the team from a potential fan base idk
they hand our commemorative shirts! vice.com/en/article/8xz…
