An environment where conspiracy theories flourish feeds anti-Semitism because anti-Semitism is itself a conspiracy theory: one that claims Jews have too much power and are secretly in charge of our culture, the government and the world. bit.ly/2ziRAeU

Voters in Georgia: if you are one of the people who has been removed from the rolls (your status says “pending” on the SOS site), you can still vote if you bring your ID and the name matches. Media! Please include this in your stories and ensure your headlines are not misleading
