THE WEEK'S BIG 3
The FBI is warning of plans for armed protests at all 50 state capitals and in Washington, D.C., in the days leading up to President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, stoking fears of more violence after last week’s deadly siege at the U.S. Capitol. ADL is calling for the Department of Justice and the FBI to investigate Gab, a conservative social media company, and its CEO over allegations that they may have "intentionally aided, conspired with or directed" rioters who attacked the U.S. Capitol. Parler, the alternative social media platform favored by conservatives, now finds itself virtually homeless on the internet as Amazon, Apple and Google have all booted it from their
platforms in a span of a little more than 24 hours.
Read on for more on these headlines, news you can use to fight hate and the latest info about ADL from around the country.
