We all know @StopAntisemites is a hate site by a multimillionaire Israel lobbyist to smear Palestinians and advocates for human rights

We're gonna fight back! I can't afford it but put it on my credit card counting on community to chip in to #StopTheSmear

Your donation will help pay for StopAntisemitism dot com, a domain purchased for nearly $4,000, likely outbidding the site's efforts to buy it.

The site will correct the record on every innocent person smeared with a multimillion-dollar campaign of character assassination.
StopAntisemitism dot org is a website started by Adam Milstein, a wealthy right-wing AIPAC lobbyist. Its strategy is to list critics of Israeli government actions against Palestinian human rights alongside actual antisemites to conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism.

Mad respect for many vets, esp those who see they were manipulated economically/socially to sign up to attack global southerners, but it'd be 👍🏽 if @jonstewart + others stop using passive "our fighters" as if most of our 'wars' are for anyone but Wall St.
"when they came home...found that the consequences of their heroism and their valor was their health. And then this country abandoned them."

No sir, the US abandoned them when they used poverty + patriotism to send them to die for profit.
I really do think @jonstewart knows this. And thinks his weird pandering to the war machine is some 3D chess strategic messaging, but it's not teaching anyone anything, and reenforcing the root problems of all of this. Wall street greed and dehumanization of brown people.

Andrew Yang had to fake high membership in his shiny new party, so he merged with crusty, old Serve America Movement, a GOP neoconservative group started by Wall St and staff of anti gay, anti Black, war criminal George W. Bush who faked an election victory to become president 🧵
SAM cofounder Eric Grossman, now part of Andrew Yang's Forward Party, wasn't just any Wall St executive, leading Morgan Stanley legal as it abused mortgages, conducted wage theft, lied to investors and cheated markets earning over $9B in penalties.

Another co-founder of Andrew Yang's Forward Party is Miles Taylor who joined Trump's White House to separate families and put children in cages at DHS.

As political winds changed, profited off it not by challenging policy, but by selling a book.

It shouldn't, but reading about a tocayo, someone who shares your name, as Amazon's latest victim hits different.

These packages aren't worth lives. All Amazon has to do to maintain speed is pay more people to work human rates without surveillance and they still get yachts.
What Amazon really counts on is customers assuming they share guilt in shopping at Amazon when they need to. They don't. Customers support massive changes, and in order to stop them, Amazon pays off people we voted for to look the other way.
So it really challenges me with @SenSchumer who promised to put popular, bipartisan Big Tech bills to vote that would begin to regulate Amazon, then lying and refusing to maybe after consulting his Amazon lobbyist daughter.

I am Central Asian, yes, so I am an Asian Jew.

It's also a complete fabrication that I founded Asians Against Yang. I helped. I did start #JewsforAsians during anti-asian violence where we got over 500 volunteers to surround and protect Asian events and mourning from violence.
Another lie by an attention seeking candidate polling at <1%.

Where did I learn the skills to help protect Asian events with lefty Jewish volunteers? I learned them from people at JFREJ who taught me while protecting Orthodox Jewish and Muslim events.

No hate in this example, just City Council's 1st Muslim woman against erasure of state crimes on Palestinians that even Israeli human rights groups agree on. She won 60% of the vote from the voters you're courting.

Maybe why you're losing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A lot of white people sure like telling Black South Africans what apartheid is and isn't.

Meanwhile, South Africa:
"I know this because I lived it."
In his defense, he's changed his mind.
