 Eric Adams as far left is something that only exists in the imagination of right wing nutballs who think anyone who is Black is by definition far left

 He literally looks at brown people like cattle.

This is what he means when he talks about “saving Western civilization” and fighting “an invasion.”

Pure racism. Pure hatred of the poor.

This is why he tells lies about a fake elite controlling America. Because *he’s* the elite.

 Musk is repeatedly bringing up Israel. Very clear he’s trying to use it as a prop to deny his antisemitism, which is largely directed at American Jews. 
 "Yesterday a group of 100 Jewish leaders released a letter criticizing X and Musk for enabling a “new stage of antisemitic discourse.”

Actually we're at 145 now.

 Elon Musk spreads the conspiracy theory that migrants coming to Europe are invading, and that it is a coordinated plot meant to eliminate Western civilization. 

This is the Great Replacement conspiracy theory, coded to remove the words “white civilization” and “Jewish plot.”

 100 rabbis, Jewish leaders, academics, activists, & artists have come together to call out Elon Musk’s antisemitism.

Proud to have organized this and deeply grateful for the voices that joined, from Rabbi Yitz Greenberg to Ruth Messinger & so many more.

 Elon Musk's grandfather was an open and proud antisemite who moved to South Africa because he admired apartheid. 

His writing and the writing he shared used almost the exact same language Elon Musk uses today.

 We warned it would come to this. But because they first targeted trans kids, media, politicians, and leaders felt they could sit it out.

They're coming for all of us. Every single vulnerable group is part of a chain they plan to dominate. Stand up for all of them or you're next.

 Can't make this stuff up. Twitter limited visibility of my callout of Elon Musk for interacting with neo-Nazi Keith Woods.

Why did they ding me for this? Turns out I shared the tweets that led Keith Woods to get banned from Twitter.

And who reinstated him? Elon Musk.
