@jdforward Aside from FBI tweet being obvious bot, @jdforward “investigative” reporter @MollyBoigon didn’t even click on link in tweet, which didn’t publish Protocols “w/out context” but instead referred to it as anti-Semitic forgery multiple times. Try real reporting rather than clickbait.

Compare Bari Weiss’s claim, in her resignation letter, of the responsibilities of the press to her explanation of why she became a pundit:

My favorite passage in free-speech advocate Bari Weiss’s book is when she says that she heard from someone who overheard someone say they wouldn’t date a Zionist—and that that was a slippery slope to genocide.

The @bariweiss resignation letter boasts people she commissioned pieces from. Conspicuously missing is Mayim Bialik, whom she commissioned to tell women to dress modestly to avoid being victims. Perhaps her most discussed commission. Why'd she leave it out?

[Phan Nguyen @Phan_N]

This was the type of hard-hitting think piece @bariweiss was writing for the Wall Street Journal before being picked up by the New York Times.

Think early Buzzfeed, but right-wing—so sassy and original!

It’s thus both ironic and predictable that today the white moderate would want so much to co-opt MLK as one of their own. When they say, “Why can’t you be more like MLK,” that’s the white moderate’s passive-aggressive way of saying, “Sit down, shut up, and know your place.” 8/8

Putting aside @hilaryr’s other remarks re MLK & @ninaturner, her claim that MLK was merely criticizing moderates for being silent in his “Letter from Birmingham Jail” is simply false. This is not a matter of interpretation. 1/8

[Phan Nguyen @Phan_N]

And in fact MLK’s responses to the call for “unity” at the expense of freedom and justice, “moderation” at the expense of true progress, has relevance today, as @ninaturner points out, and which @hilaryr refused to accept under the pretense of defending MLK’s good name. 7/8

Proud to hear Rashida Tlaib channeling Disco Rick.

Extra bonus: Here’s Abe Foxman justifying the ADL’s monitoring of the African National Congress after the ADL spy scandal blew up in 1993.

On the heels of Angela Davis cancellation and #IStandWithMLH, here’s more in the annals of Black leaders being snubbed for the sake of “Jewish community” concerns over Israel ...

Finally, as a bonus, here’s ADL head Nathan Perlmutter in the May 1986 “ADL Bulletin,” arguing that, from a the standpoint of Jews, the South African apartheid government is preferable to rule by the ANC:
