I saw someone say it was because she's supporting dems but that doesn't seem like enough for the amount of dunking I've seen. Did y'all think she was so far to the left that that would be a betrayal? I've typically thought of her as a progressive more than a leftist. Is there some statement she made I'm not aware of?

Have you tried not using twitter anymore? /s

I totally get you, sometimes nazis co-opt the palestine issue to spout some racist shit about jewish people, and some of the real pro-palestine protestors I think are being/becoming anti-semitic because of their anger about the genocide Israel is currently conducting/ has been conducting since it's inception. (Not trying to justify the anti-semitism here btw.)

From what my limited reading about it has shown me, is that this is a bigger issue online than in real-life protests.

True, only online I have seen it. Queer circles I run in would shut the shit down fast. I don't have twitter,reddit, or Facebook anymore. Just something I have seen on YouTube and substack.
