Online Radicalism: Antisemitism, Pro-Hamas ‘Liberation, and Workers’ Rights

A football fan almost convinced the NFL to let Donna Kelce flip the Super Bowl coin this year. Well, sort of. Donna’s sons (Taylor Swift’s boyfriend and the other one) faced each other in the 2023 Super Bowl. Tank Brocklehurst is a fan and dutiful citizen who started a Change.org petition that gathered 215,960 signatures on Donna’s behalf. Although she didn’t flip the coin, it was a valiant effort to honor “a woman that raised two elite athletes,” in Tank’s own words. “It has to be done!” one supporter said. “It’s the right thing to do,” said another. “U know I am with the football,” a girl after my own heart commented.

While looking into this story, I discovered that Change.org is still a shockingly active platform. Morrisey fans, for example, are petitioning Capitol Records to uncage the singer’s unreleased album. The label is allegedly holding the album “because they see Morrissey as a threat for being genuine,” petitioners say. “With the world going down the plugholes, we need as much Moz as we can get!” one fan commented. Does Betty White’s broken star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame trouble you? It troubles Cindy from Pennsylvania, which is why she petitioned the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to have it replaced — “Repairing it just isn’t good enough for our Betty!”
