    I want to show you how Israeli companies are pretending to be American to escape the shame of the Israel brand. IsraelGives is trying to pretend to be a different company called GivingTech, and they even told our partner that they were a separate US company! They are not, receipts attached.

    @Remittancegirl I&amp;#39;m sure the US will come for them eventually. Fortunately, they&amp;#39;re not based in the US.

    Hey folks, I know over here on the left we like to stab our allies in the face, but let&amp;#39;s give UpScrolled a tiny bit of grace as they fix all the things. A tiny tiny startup is solving our biggest problem - billionaire control of our speech. We need this. They will sort it out, I promise
