I haven't been shy about sharing my criticisms of the ADL. Probably best captured in articles like this one:
https://newrepublic.com/article/175013/anti-defamation-league-where-stand-today
I also hope we can agree that antisemitism is alive and well at least in stochastic terrorist events like the Jewish school that was shot up twice in one week in Montreal.
Or with workplace discrimination with more than 50% of Jews and 62% of Muslims have said they experienced it.

How we should measure that is always going to feel dissatisfying since there will always be some disagreement.
@mekkaokereke Amy is fortunate then. I have not had that experience. @owenblacker @paul_ipv6 @donray

@flexghost Breaking: If Trump were any other person he'd be in prison now, legal experts say.
@mekkaokereke While there are some large rallies against antisemitism around the world, they’re caused by the overt acts of antisemitism. And while it’s easy to join a crowd yelling “no more antisemitism,” there is a distinct lack of people comforting their Jewish friends with a simple text, phone call, or Facebook post. @owenblacker @paul_ipv6 @donray

#AmandaMarcotte re: deadly incoherence of #MAGA #LGBTQ+ politics.
"That's the thing about the dehumanizing rhetoric of fascism: It doesn't have a limit. The scope of who no longer counts as a human being and is up for "rooting out" always broadens. Copeland's death is a horrible tragedy. His is also the latest in a line of lives destroyed by the GOP's anti-LGBTQ campaign. That so many people can't — or won't — see that is why this country is careening towards disaster."

@charlesgaba @timo21 these aren’t kids, they’re dangerously stupid fascist adults in positions of power enabled by their dictator #Trump

GOP Senator Markwayne Mullin threatened to start a fist fight with a witness who was testifying today, even standing up & starting to remove his ring.

@jeffbyrnes So the antisemite groups are calling for peace. That isn’t helping. @maddiefuzz @owenblacker @mekkaokereke @paul_ipv6 @donray
@owenblacker Oh absolutely! I think the majority of us are against the Netanyahu regime. My question is where is the Gentile solidarity protecting us? Where is the equivalent of BLM? @mekkaokereke @paul_ipv6 @donray
@mekkaokereke I sure hope you’re right. I’ve long played a game called “who would hide me in their attic.” Right now, the only person I know would do it is the German girl next door, which I find ironic. @paul_ipv6 @donray

Today is the first day of Native American Heritage Month. Oklahoma is celebrating by banning Killers of the Flower Moon from schools and libraries.
Former Osage Nation Chief Jim Gray told me, “If we had to live through this history, why can’t white kids have to know about it?”
I’ve been told our film about the Osage, #LongKnife, featuring Chief Gray and the struggles of Osage today, can also expect to get the chop. If necessary, we’ll project it on the side of the State Capitol.

"Police will take no action against a western #Sydney jumping castle business that refused to deal with a Jewish school and boasted about it on social media...It is one of a number of incidents suggesting rising tensions between #Israel and #Palestine supporters in Sydney.... Those incidents also include a suspected hammer attack on a car displaying the Palestinian flag...on Sunday, which police are investigating"

Gaza, Israel, anti-semitism in the US
That's right! It's why I have an intense suspicion of any rhetoric that seems designed to get Jewish people to fight with Black or Muslim people.
It's all divide and conquer tactics that can only benefit white supremacy and contribute to our mutual downfall

jews have always understood that if anyone is persecuted, they'll be in line at some point; that if anyone is persecuted, everyone is in danger. that doesn't diminish the bravery. many folks see things they know are wrong and unjust, yet do nothing.
@paul_ipv6 Which is why it’s so frustrating that so few stand with us now. @mekkaokereke @donray
