Elon Musk continues to empower Nazis. Kanye West (or whatever he's currently calling himself) has been reinstated on Twitter (or whatever Elon is currently calling it).
Kanye West famously brought fellow Nazi Nick Fuentes to dinner with Donald Trump last year.
X, formerly known as Twitter, has reinstated Kanye West’s account on the social media platform. West will not be able to monetize his account, and no ads will appear next to his posts, the company told the Wall Street Journal on Saturday. The musician’s account was suspended in December for violating the platform’s rules on inciting violence. The suspension followed multiple antisemitic comments made by West – who has legally changed his name to Ye – including a threat to “Go death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE.” Those statements led to a swift disintegration of multiple business deals, including partnerships with Adidas and luxury fashion house Balenciaga.
If Elon Musk isn't a Nazi himself, he's a fellow traveler. He certainly doesn't want anybody keeping tabs on the explosion of hate speech on the platform since he took over.
Elon Musk has over the last year threatened legal action against tech competitors, employees and people who use Twitter, which he owns. Now he is also taking aim at an organization that studies hate speech and misinformation on social media. X Corp., the parent company of the social media company, sent a letter on July 20 to the Center for Countering Digital Hate, a nonprofit that conducts research on social media, accusing the organization of making “a series of troubling and baseless claims that appear calculated to harm Twitter generally, and its digital advertising business specifically,” and threatening to sue. The letter cited research published by the Center for Countering Digital Hate in June examining hate speech on Twitter, which Mr. Musk has renamed X.com. The research consisted of eight papers, including one that found that Twitter had taken no action against 99 percent of the 100 Twitter Blue accounts the center reported for “tweeting hate.” The letter called the research “false, misleading or both” and said the organization had used improper methodology.
Twitter Blue is apparently a license to post hate speech.
In a blog post Monday evening, X announced that it had filed a lawsuit against the Center for Countering Digital Hate for “actively working to prevent free expression.” The suit was filed in federal court in the Northern District of California. Twitter’s advertising business has been struggling under the ownership of Mr. Musk, who bought the company last year. U.S. ad revenue for the five weeks from April 1 to the first week of May was $88 million, down 59 percent from a year earlier. Advertisers may have been spooked by Mr. Musk’s changes to the social network, including the removal of rules of what can or can’t be said on the service and more ads featuring online gambling and marijuana products.
Hate speech is a major turnoff for most advertisers. Elon thinks that if the Center for Countering Digital Hate stops publicizing the massive hate speech problem at Twitter then advertisers will flood back to the platform.
Elon, did anybody ever tell you that you're a dumb shit? 🫵🏼
Twitter/X is not going to get any better – just the opposite. Elon Musk is determined to turn it into a safe space for far right hatemongers.
If you are still on Twitter then you will increasingly be associated with Nazis, conspiracy loonies, and other lowlife dregs of social media who are welcomed there. No matter how much you may try to avoid the mess there you will inevitably step in their shit.
Fight hate speech on Elon Musk's Twitter and on other platforms. Support the Center for Countering Digital Hate

Dang ye done DONE
Also Y’all ever seen Yeezy in footlocker 🤔😂 ? Just wondering 💭
Foot Locker Pulls Yeezy Sneakers From Stores and Online After Adidas Termination
Tumblr media
Courtesy of Foot Locker
Foot Locker is removing Yeezy shoes from its sales floors in light of recent news surrounding the fashion brand.
Adidas cut ties with Kanye “Ye” West, the founder of the Yeezy brand, on Tuesday after the designer made repeated antisemitic comments. As a result, Adidas said it would “end production of Yeezy branded products and stop all payments to Ye and his companies” and “stop the adidas Yeezy business with immediate effect.“
Foot Locker instructed all of its stores to remove all pairs of Yeezys from their sales floors, according to an email sent to employees, which was viewed by FN. According to the email, employees have been asked to hold to hold Yeezy shoes in the backroom until further direction is given.

Foot Locker confirmed this move in a statement to FN and said it had instructed retail operators to pull Yeezy product from shelves and digital sites.
watch on FN 
“Foot Locker, Inc. does not tolerate any form of antisemitism, or hateful and discriminatory behavior,” the company said in a statement. “While we remain a partner with adidas and carry a wide assortment of their collections — we will not be supporting any future Yeezy product drops, and we have instructed our retail operators to pull any existing product from our shelves and digital sites.”
Losing Yeezy sales in Foot Locker could be especially detrimental to the shoe retailer that recently shared that the amount of Nike product in its stores would be significantly less.
In May, Adidas expanded a partnership with Foot Locker to focus on “product innovation, elevated experiences, and deeper consumer connectivity.” The new partnership targeted more than $2 billion in retail sales by 2025, nearly tripling levels from 2021, Adidas said. It is unclear how much of this would have been generated by Yeezy product.
According to Williams Trading analyst Sam Poser, given the Yeezy fallout, this partnership “has a far less chance now to be successful, than the low percent of success we expected when the deal was initially announced.”
As for Adidas-owned stores, the company said it would “stop the adidas Yeezy business with immediate effect.”
In the wake of the news, other retail stores have taken similar measures to distance themselves from the Yeezy brand and its founder.
Gap, which ended its contract with Yeezy in September, said on Tuesday that it was taking “immediate steps to remove Yeezy Gap product” from stores. Gap said it had also shut down YeezyGap.com.
In 2021, West struck a 10-year deal for Yeezy Gap with Gap Inc. and the option to renew after 5 years. West launched his Yeezy x Gap line for the first time at brick-and-mortar Gap stores on July 21 along with product from the Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga collection.
“Antisemitism, racism and hate in any form are inexcusable and not tolerated in accordance with our values,” Gap Inc. said in a statement. “On behalf of our customers, employees and shareholders, we are partnering with organizations that combat hate and discrimination.”
Before Adidas’ announcement, Balenciaga, CAA, Vogue and more big names revealed they were cutting ties with Ye as well.

Kanye West apologizes to Jewish community, after his name was written on Israeli missile
Tumblr media
Famous American singer, Kanye West’s name has been spotted on an Israeli missile which is apparently going to be used in the Middle East war. A prominent Israeli mixed-martial artist, MMA, fighter, Haim Gozali is taking credit for the stunt. Gozali, who was once affiliated with Bellator, shared the picture of the missile on his official social media handle. DAILY POST reports that the MMA star has been very outspoken on the conflict between Israel and Hamas, oftentimes mocking the death of Palestinians over the past few months. In November, Gozali had written the names of Muslim UFC fighters including Khabib Nurmagomedov and others who have expressed support for Palestine on a bomb that seemed to be on the frontlines. However, sharing new photos of some of the missiles apparently in the possession of Israeli soldiers on his X account, Gozali wrote “@kanyewest you don’t like us Jewish. So we don’t like you either.” The picture captured a shell with the inscription “Kanye West Flying to Gaza Haim Gozali.” It’s unclear if Gozali is the one actually writing the names, or if someone else in the Israeli Defense Forces, IDF, does it on his behalf. Meanwhile Kanye West or Ye, has finally tendered a public apology to the Jewish community over his anti-Semitic comments. This is coming one year after the singer declared war on the Jewish community following his controversial Paris Fashion Week show, where he showcased his White Lives Matter shirts. DAILY POST reports that Kanye had in October 2022 lost lucrative contracts with Adidas and Balenciaga led to losing his billionaire status. He was also banned from X platform and Instagram after saying he was going to ‘go death on 3 on Jewish people’ in a tweet. In a new development on his Instagram page on Tuesday, December 26 2023, the 46-year-old, however, posted a message written in Hebrew which translates to: ‘I sincerely apologise to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions. ‘It wasn’t my intention to hurt or demean, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused. I’m committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future. “Your forgiveness is important to me, and I’m committed to making amends and promoting unity.” @kanyewest you don’t like us jewish. So we don’t like you too !!! pic.twitter.com/V0oF6mNBnq— Haim gozali (@GozaliHaim) December 24, 2023 Read the full article

What Does Sp Mean In Shoes
Tumblr media
When shopping for shoes, whether online or in stores, you might have come across various codes and acronyms that can leave you scratching your head. One such code is "SP," often found on shoe labels or descriptions. But fear not, as we're here to unravel the mystery behind this enigmatic abbreviation. In this article, we'll dive into the world of footwear to explore what "SP" means in shoes and its significance in the realm of fashion and functionality.
Decoding "SP" in Shoes
Understanding the Abbreviation
The abbreviation "SP" commonly seen on shoes stands for "Special" or "Special Edition." This term is used by shoe manufacturers to highlight certain shoes that have unique features, designs, or collaborations that set them apart from the regular lineup. These shoes are often created to commemorate specific events, celebrate partnerships, or offer distinct design elements that cater to a niche audience.
The Significance of "SP" Shoes
Distinctive Design
"SP" shoes typically boast a design that deviates from the ordinary. They might feature exclusive colorways, intricate detailing, or innovative materials that catch the eye and reflect the creative vision of the brand or designer. These unique design elements not only attract sneaker enthusiasts but also serve as collector's items for those who appreciate the fusion of art and footwear.
Collaborations and Partnerships
One of the most exciting aspects of "SP" shoes is their involvement in collaborations and partnerships. Shoe manufacturers often team up with renowned designers, artists, athletes, or even other brands to create limited-edition footwear that merges diverse influences. These collaborative efforts result in shoes that tell a story, encapsulating the essence of the collaborators and appealing to fans of both parties.
Limited Availability
Another defining characteristic of "SP" shoes is their limited availability. Manufacturers intentionally produce fewer units of these special editions compared to their regular shoe releases. This scarcity not only adds to their allure but also fuels the desire among sneaker enthusiasts to own a piece of exclusivity. Limited availability can drive up the demand and value of "SP" shoes, turning them into sought-after collector's items.
Examples of "SP" Shoes
Iconic Collaborations
Over the years, numerous "SP" shoes have gained iconic status due to their collaborations with cultural icons. One such example is the Nike x Off-White collaboration, where designer Virgil Abloh's unique design approach transformed classic Nike silhouettes into coveted works of art. Similarly, the Adidas x Kanye West partnership birthed the Yeezy line, known for its distinctive design and unparalleled hype.
Commemorative Releases
"SP" shoes are often released to commemorate significant events or milestones. For instance, during the 2016 Olympics, brands like Nike and Adidas released special edition sneakers adorned with patriotic elements and unique color schemes what does se stand for in shoes to celebrate the global sporting event. These commemorative releases not only pay tribute to historic moments but also provide consumers with a chance to own a piece of history.
Conclusion
In the world of footwear, the "SP" designation holds a special place for sneaker enthusiasts and fashion aficionados alike. It represents a blend of creativity, exclusivity, and often meaningful collaborations. From distinctive designs to limited availability, "SP" shoes encapsulate the essence of what makes sneakers not just functional footwear, but also cultural artifacts. So, the next time you come across an "SP" tag on a pair of shoes, you'll know that you're stepping into a world of artistic expression and unique stories.
