Predictably, Elon is escalating from his attack on the ADL league to Color of Charge, Center for Countering Digital Hate, GLAAD, MoveOn, CAP and Media Matters.

Pretty much anyone who's against hate is his enemy.

It's good the President is wearing a mask indoors and around others. But he should also be telling everyone else that it’s important to wear a high quality mask right now, because #COVID is not over and still causing death and chronic illness.

Simple calculation. If you pack solar panels on the giant flat roofs of shopping malls (and maybe add them as shade covers on the giant parking places AND add some big storage batteries, you can offer FREE charging for all EVs, cover most of the power usage of the complete shopping mall and on good days even sell electricity to the grid. Same for airports. What's not to like? cc @isotopp

DO. NOT. USE. JACK. DORSEY. PLATFORMS.

"Within 48 hours of the FBI visit to Twitter, [Twitter] acknowledged they had "found" the leak to the FBI - proving they knew. The next day, the spy fled the US!

6 months later, Jack [Dorsey] met with MBS to discuss how they could work together to "train & qualify" Saudi groups on Twitter to do the very same work the two spy employees had done. And just 8 months prior to that meeting, KSA doubled its investment in Twitter"

@Eamon1916 Every person in my family has at least 5. My brother probably has 30. @OkayKay@beige.party

Rheumatologist appointment

You know, the doctor for people with autoimmune disorders

The doctor where most if not all patients that walk in the door are immunocompromised and/or immunosuppressed

Not one mask. Not a single mask among the staff or patients, except mine.

I feel like the entire world has lost it.

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social Well of course he did. 🙄

Well... School just started & 3 out of 30 children in my 5th grader's class have already tested positive for COVID. 😷

Be careful out there folks!

Took my MIL and FIL to the eye doctor this morning. We were the only 3 with masks on in the whole place. My MIL has a low platelet count and has had to wear a mask since way before COVID. People are assholes.

Not-so-gentle reminder that the GOP isn't "the American Taliban". The Taliban are an extremist form of Sunni Islam. The GOP are not Muslim. They are Christofascist Radicalized Religious Extremists. Stop equating everything bad with middle eastern religions and culture. This is explicitly Christian extremism.

Someone accused me of doing a sponsored post and disguising it as one of my facts. I can assure you that if a company ever pays me to write one of these stupid facts you will know. I will be bragging about it for months. I will frame that check and make a picture of that dirty money my banner on here.

I’ve been in remission for almost 11 years. Last month, my oncologist finally took me off Letrozole, and this week I’m feeling it. I can sleep for 8 hours and wake up refreshed, instead of needing 11 hours just to function. The hot flashes have subsided. Hoping to see similar benefits in blood work for calcium, cholesterol, and blood pressure.

@davidtoddmccarty That’s not what I found in my research. Of course, prior to that research, I also didn’t understand just how much of a university’s budget revolves around campus housing.

No one is going to argue the #ADL is perfect, certainly not me. That said, the attacks on the ADL I'm seeing on the Fediverse aren't nuanced critiques of ADL policy or actions, but are predominantly the same types of rhetoric seen against any Jews who speak out against hate they experience:

They're "Pro-Israel" (by which they mean don't want to see Israel destroyed)

"They're racist" (I've yet to see anything racist the ADL has said, but am open to reading it), etc.

The other question one should ask is what other organization representing a marginalized group do you see that has so much criticism lobbied against it from people outside the group itself?

When you see that kind of criticism lobbied at a group representing marginalized people, how do you feel about the ones doing the critiquing and or calling for the group to be disbanded or destroyed?

If ad hominem attacks on other groups makes you uncomfortable, the same should hold true of the ADL.
