When ADL shreds Constitution to ban criticism of Israel, it impacts all free speech for all of our rights.

Now ADL is going to shred the already minuscule corporate accountability there is, to protect Israeli crimes, which will loosen all human rights rules against investments.
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing sets out the most basic human rights restrictions for investors, allowing them to hold corporations accountable. Based on these standards, which are already very low, large portfolios skip certain investments in violation.
Because some ESG advised investors have opted out of some Israeli businesses, or dared to ask questions, a group called JLENS (named after spy aircraft) began to lobby against ESG standards, lowering human rights protections across the world in order to protect Israel apartheid.
For @ADL to acquire JLENS, designed to rid the world of corporate responsibility in climate, pollution & human rights, ADL + @JGreenblattADL are not only choosing again to protect apartheid, but to do so while protecting every genocide, war, climate villain on Earth. #DropTheADL

Did Twitter Blue tweet just cost Eli Lilly $LLY billions?

Yes. ImageImage
We regret to inform you that we will not be giving away insulin, a publicly funded invention that was given away by its creator to be given away to people so they don’t die.

Somebody explain to us why @JayJacobs28 still has a job?
@JayJacobs28 By the way, that one blue arrow that's near The Hamptons, that's from the Michigan graphic. We don't have any blue arrows. None. And in Jay Jacob's hometown, where he's most powerful, we have a full red state.
Democrats outside of NY should also be asking the question to @hakeemjeffries @KathyHochul @SpeakerPelosi and others on status of Jay Jacobs and @nydems.

NY's complete back to back failure may have cost not only our state a democrat future, but the US the entire House of Reps.

A lot of us have moved, so if you end up in the wrong precinct (or have any other issue accessing your ballot today) many states allow you to cast a provisional ballot which they will verify after. So ask for your provisional ballot, never walk away without a vote. twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
In some states provisional ballots are called affidavit or challenge ballots.

If there may be an administrative error, like your name not being on the voter roll, EVERY polling place in the US is required by federal law to provide it when you ask.

(Except Idaho, MN, NH)
Later those ballots are investigated. And those which qualify, depending on your state, will count your vote for every portion of your ballot or the parts applicable to everyone in the state (like Governor).

We Jews + all must confront antisemitism always. But ADL made millions going after Black electeds and activists, largely ignoring anti-Black and other defamation in service of anti-Black and anti-Palestinian apartheid. That does not help but contribute to division and mistrust. Image
ADL wants to tear up the US Constitution in service of protecting Israeli apartheid by deeming those who criticize just one nation state, automatic antisemites.

That will contribute to antisemitism.
ADL wants Amazon to decide what is antisemitic, without mention of what's homophobic, anti-Black, Islamophobic and no discussion of WHO decides what is hate speech, except them. They who decide what hate is often only in service to themselves

That'll contribute to antisemitism.

It's true that not every vote in New York general elections has historically mattered. The fights were in the primaries.

This year it will be historically true that every general election vote matters.

Please vote Tuesday against Zeldin on the @NYWFP ballot line.
Zeldin can do to New York, what 45 did to the US. Culturally, electorally and legislatively. He is a threat to basic human rights and civil liberty.

People who are minimizing potential harm of a Governor are either not informed, self destructive or trying to favor Republicans.
New Yorkers, it is not too late for you to get on the phones and call your neighbors.

There are 5 more time slots left to fill asking only for 2 hours of time #VoteWFP

I walked into a New Orleans gift shop to find a section featuring Hitler figurines. Later I called them to talk about antisemitism and racism. It did not go well.
When I first walked into the store, I found it odd that at the heart of New Orleans, Louisiana there was any store that was completely void of Black culture. Even featuring an entire section from Russia instead. Especially a store called Black Butterfly Too.

At first, I wanted to confront the owners while I was at the store. But I didn't want to put the person I was with in danger, so I decided I would either visit or call them afterwards. I was also just extremely upset, and decided it be better if I cool down anyway.
