This wild statement by Dana White epitomizes white male privilege Synopsis: I’m filthy rich so suspending me won’t hurt me We’ve had discussions, don’t like what happened, but won’t do anything My punishment is being labeled and losing respect There will be no repercussions

As that Black man was being lynched by the police, he harkened back to when he watched the police lynch another Black man. Keenan Darnell Anderson said “They’re trying to George Floyd me!” Keenan turned George Floyd’s name into a verb, an adjective, and a political plea for help.

with Guantanamo turning 21 today I am haunted by many things — the fact there is a generation of adults who don’t know a world without Guantanamo, that a geriatric wing was added, that prisoners chanted Obama Obama the night he won with hope the prison would actually be closed

This survey was done by the ADL and purposely conflates antisemitism with criticisms of Israel. Respondents saying they don’t view Israel as a technology leader is a chalked up as a “centuries-old anti-Jewish stereotype” somehow.

It’s wildly irresponsible for the ADL to run together polling about antisemitism with polling about Israel. It is a brazen attempt to to remove Israel’s behavior from the sphere of political debate, and to paint critics of Israel as Jew haters.

BREAKING: Twenty percent of Americans believe 6+ antisemitic tropes, nearly double the 11 percent that ADL found in 2019 and the highest level measured in decades. The latest research from ADL: adl.org/resources/repo

That Odell video is insane because ultimately when they didn’t find anything the flight attendants kicked him off because they were “afraid” he was going to retaliate because THEY were treating him unjustly. How you create the problem and be scared

Travesty of justice: at least 44 Iranian defense lawyers have been arrested since Sept 2022. These attorneys were in turn trying to defend the imprisoned protestors. Free all Iranian lawyers, journalists, other political prisoners now!

BREAKING: Israeli soldiers just killed a Palestinian father of 8 as he tried to protect his son from arrest. Then they took his child. Samir Aslan was shot in the chest, stripped, and left to bleed on the floor. He is the seventh Palestinian killed in 2023.

Dana White has always said he wants the UFC to be at the same mainstream level as the NBA, NFL, & MLB. But the face of the sport caught on camera hitting his wife halts any chance of the UFC rising to that level. Dana talks like he is bigger than the UFC. He can’t & shouldn’t be.

How dare someone insinuate Harvard has ties to the military industrial complex?? Or that Israel and the US play key roles in that military industrial complex?! Or that - clutches pearls - donors and money have major influence over academic institutions!! Scandalous, truly.
Quote Tweet
This article concocts a conspiracy theory about the @Kennedy_School and the military-industrial complex and implicates Israel and the American Jewish community. It plays into antisemitic myths about power and money and draws conclusions unsupported by evidence.

This is horrible. This awful man is spraying a homeless woman down with a hose. You can hear her yell “Help Me!” Does anyone recognize him? Is he affiliated with Barbarossa Lounge? This is inhumane and inexcusable. Shout out to @briochessf for posting the video.

Really troubling that the government still isn't regulating this in any meaningful way. We're all participating in a software beta with no advance notice or consultation whatsoever.

I'm baacck. TY to everyone who agitated against my personal suspension & helped get my account reinstated. I was told to look 4 suspicious tweets upon logging back in, but there was nothing except for some tweets about Ken Roth at Harvard & Biden's shitty border policy. Exactly.

Hey, for all you folks who get annoyed at the apartheid charge being hurled at Israel - below is literally part of the definition of apartheid. Different punishments for the same crime, based on the perpetrator’s ethnicity.

Earlier, MK Hanoch Milwidsky (Likud) said "In the State of the Jews, I prefer Jewish murderers to Arab murderers." Now, MK Limor Son Har-Melech of Otzma Yehudit says: "Whoever murdered an Arab should sit in prison, and whoever murdered a Jew should die." ynet.co.il/news/article/r
