[quote]Twitter suspended Marjorie Taylor Greene for one week
after posting another misleading tweet. Violating the Covid-19
policy five or more times can result in a permanent ban from
Twitter.

[quote]Veronica Wu has stepped down from the board of VF
Corporation, the global apparel and footwear company that owns
big-name brands including Supreme, The North Face, and Vans.
Wu was elected to the board of directors in 2019. On September
2, Axios obtained an e-mail — dated June 16, 2020 — in which the
tech and apparel investor disparaged Black Lives Matter and
claimed she wasn't aware of Juneteenth, the holiday that
commemorates the emancipation of slaves in Galveston, Texas.
"I don’t believe in Black Lives Matter," Wu reportedly wrote in
an e-mail addressing the news that Hone Capital, the venture
capital firm where she worked as managing partner, would
recognize Juneteenth as a company holiday.
...
According to a statement on VF Corp's website, Wu's exit "was
not the result of any disagreement with VF on any matter
relating to VF’s operations, policies or practices," a
roundabout way of not addressing whether Wu's resignation had
anything to do with her problematic rhetoric. (Interesting,
considering that CEO Steve Rendle previously claimed that
"racism is not welcome at VF Corporation.")
A rep for VF Corp said via e-mail that they wouldn't offer "any
comments beyond what's in the news release."
If Wu's e-mail hadn't been leaked, she'd likely still sit on the
board of VF Corp[/quote]
VF Corp are cowards for not openly firing her. Letting her step
down by herself looks better on her resume than she deserves.
Also, she looks like what we would expect:

She deserves to have her fingers cut off (preferably using car
keys) for typing such an email.

BOYCOTT AXEL SPRINGER!

[quote]New Politico Owner Says Will Enforce pro-Israel Policy
Axel Springer's CEO makes clear that tenets such as support for
Israel's right to exist 'apply to every employee of our
company,' even if they won't have to pledge this in writing
...
The chief executive of the Berlin-based company, Mathias
Döpfner, has long said that support for Israel is "a German
duty."
...
In Germany, Axel Springer owns titles including tabloid Bild and
the center-right broadsheet Die Welt. It has recently expanded
greatly in the United States, buying Business Insider for about
$500 million and the business-based Morning Brew.[/quote]

Our enemies' latest complaint:
HTML https://barenakedislam.com/2021/11/05/anti-islam-commentary-at-twitter-is-often-banned-but-anti-semitism-is-just-fine/
[quote]Israeli officials expressed shock and outrage Thursday
after a Twitter company official told a Knesset committee that
repeated tweets by Iranian leaders calling for Israel’s
destruction do not violate Twitter company policy.

On Wednesday, Twitter’s head of policy for the Nordic countries
and Israel, Ylwa Pettersson, told a Knesset committee in a video
conference call that Khamenei’s tweets calling for Israel’s
destruction do not violate the company’s rules against hate
speech.
But apparently, President Donald Trump’s tweets did as they
banned his account:

Has BDS taken over Twitter from within? Or does Twitter simply
recognize the conceptual difference between punching up (as
Khamenei is doing) and punching down (as Trump is doing)?

Khan displays slightly less cowardliness than usual:
HTML https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/exclusive-sadiq-khan-no-platforms-eric-zemmour
[quote]Zemmour plans to come to London this weekend in light of
the capital's considerable French contingent, with the
metropolis often cited as the sixth biggest French city.
Unfortunately Zemmour's plans have run aground, with successive
venues cancelling on the anti-establishment candidate in light
of his controversial past statements — some of which have put
him beyond the pale of much of polite Parisian society. Given
Zemmour's rockstar status — and proven ability to pack out
venues — Steerpike was curious as to why cash-strapped concert
halls did not want to host the television sensation. And now the
reason why can be revealed: Zemmour's campaign believe that
figures on the left in France and in London have been getting in
touch with those hosting Zemmour to dissuade them from welcoming
the controversial outsider.
Asked by Green Assembly Member Zack Polanski if Zemmour was
welcome in London, Mayor Sadiq Khan said: 'Nobody who wants to
divide our communities or incites hatred against people because
of the colour of their skin or the god they worship is welcome
in our city.'[/quote]

Good idea:
HTML https://www.yahoo.com/news/arizona-university-students-demand-administration-031620144.html
[quote]Several left-leaning student organizations at Arizona
State University are demanding that their administration
"withdraw" Kyle Rittenhouse from the university.
The Arizona State University Students for Socialism, Students
for Justice in Palestine, Multicultural Solidarity Coalition,
and MECHA de ASU are all calling on the Arizona State University
administration to take action against Rittenhouse by withdrawing
him from the university and releasing a statement against him.
The four groups are calling him "Murderer Kyle Rittenhouse."
...
The groups are also hosting a "Rally and protest to get murderer
Kyle Rittenhouse off our campus" on Dec. 1 at Arizona State
University.
"Even with a not-guilty verdict from a flawed ‘justice’ system -
Kyle Rittenhouse is still guilty to his victims and the families
of those victims," the demand letter states. "Join us to demand
from ASU that those demands be met to protect students from a
violent blood-thirsty murderer."
...
"Rittenhouse took the lives of innocent people with the intent
to do so—by strapping an assault rifle to himself in a crowd of
unarmed citizens. That is the textbook definition of intention.
The decision made by the court is one of thousands of cases that
have been influenced by biased judges, predominantly white
juries, and mistakes inherent in a judicial system founded off
of injustice to begin with," the spokesperson said.[/quote]
Let's not delude ourselves, however. At this point, not getting
a degree would hardly be a setback for Rittenhouse: he is
already set up for life as rightists will continue climbing over
each other to give him paid positions in their organizations.
The only way to ultimately stop Rittenhouse is to do to him what
he did to his victims.

Do we consider Joseph Rosenbaum (Jew) among his victims?

I am happy about Rosenbaum's death (though unfortunately he has
already managed to reproduce), but when Rittenhouse opened fire,
he did not know who Rosenbaum was. So yes.
