Wilder, a 22-year-old who graduated from Stanford University last year, joined AP as a news associate earlier this month. Last week, she became the target of Stanford College Republicans who deemed her an “anti-Israel agitator” in a Twitter thread, pointing to her membership in student organizations like Jewish Voice for Peace and Students for Justice in Palestine, as well as a Facebook post mocking Sheldon Adelson, the late Republican billionaire and ardent defender of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The tweets were later amplified by right-wing news outlets and even Republican Sen. Tom Cotton. The campaign targeting Wilder came after she tweeted criticism of news coverage of Israel’s occupation of Palestine.
The memo also alludes to concerns staffers have that AP’s social media are applied unfairly to minority groups: “One of the issues brought forward in recent days is the belief that restrictions on social media prevent you from being your true self, and that this disproportionately harms journalists of color, LGBTQ journalists and others who often feel attacked online. We need to dive into this issue.”
“More kumbaye bullshit,” an AP staffer said of the new memo. “We have management that is woefully late in the understanding of disinformation and amplification on Twitter.”
Message coming through loud and clear, AP. Criticize or otherwise oppose Isreal’s occupation of Palestine, lose your job.
Journalists should really ask themselves if they want to work for an organization that throws its reporters under the bus at the behest of racist Q-nuts.

it IS awful! manatee are just so gentle and innocuous, they absolutely do not deserve starvation due to the runoff pollution from big sugar, cattle feedlots and commercial/residential over-fertilization.
goddamn you, Rick “Skeletor” Scott, I blame you and your shameless money-grubbing policies that killed Lake O, the St. Johns and Intracoastal Waterway and now, as a result, hundreds of manatee.
this does not even include the horrible red tide blooms that are fed by the out flow of the blue-green algae into the estuary and salt water costal environs that also kill fish, plants, shellfish and precious marine mammals such as manatee and dolphin.
fuck you, rick scott, may you bathe in the putrid waters of Okeechobee the rest of your dying days while searching for something to eat.

How do we know it wasn’t an independent hack, rather than official policy that got found out and quickly backtracked?
