The head of the ADL responding favorably to Elon Musk banning the terms “decolonization” and “from the river to the sea”

to be clear the head of the ADL is cool with you literally supporting Hitler as long as you’re mean to Palestinians too

Seeing a white supremacist trying to dictate terms on the website he bought over and ruined really makes me feel so helpless, although I know that's a useless way to think about it.

New lows over at Twitter. Almost incomprehensible lows.

now that i have seen OPPENHEIMER i am truly baffled by the discourse that this movie was somehow a whitewash of the guy
