Tragically, every word of this is accurate.
It’s a foreign influence op that is ripping our Nation apart 👇👇👇
It didn’t become en vogue by accident. It was completely and totally manufactured by an echo chamber that was created by Steve Bannon and picked up on by the entire rest of the podcast Manosphere. They kept it civil and above water for a long time until they earned people’s trust, and then slowly but surely they injected this crap into every single podcast, every single day for two years, and then they’re surprised when they got the exactly the result they wanted.
This is the definition of insanity, and it shows how far the @UN has fallen.

Having received hateful comments and harassment, I know how this damages one’s wellbeing. No one deserves personal attacks or threats. I ask that people refrain from directing hateful comments or bullying towards Dr. Knouse. We can hold each other accountable while being humane.

45 alumni of @DMSabatini's lab at @MIT @WhiteheadInst signed this 4/22 open letter repudiating the smear campaign against him. That witch hunt was so intense these accomplished people had to sign anonymously — and many more were too fearful even for that.

Here is a link to a reference letter composed by some of us and signed by 45 Sabatini Lab alumni. Unlike what was implied, this letter was designed to allow only one signature per individual. F:M signature ratio reflects the overall lab gender ratio.

No joke: Tomorrow at 10 am, the U.N. plans to elect the Islamic regime of Iran to its main subsidiary organ shaping priorities on women's rights, counter-terrorism and peacekeeping. We urge all states who nominated Tehran — 🇨🇦🇬🇧🇫🇷🇩🇪🇪🇸🇳🇱🇳🇴🇫🇮🇨🇭🇦🇹🇦🇺🇨🇭— to reverse course and vote No.

THE FINAL HOLDOUT: ARTICLE MODERN IS COMPLETELY EXPOSED.
Article Modern (@articlemodern) is now the single remaining corporate sponsor funding the I've Had It podcast.
Over twenty major corporations -- including Cash App, Chewy, Honeylove, and ASPCA -- did the right thing and severed ties after the hosts celebrated political violence.
Article Modern stands entirely alone, making their ongoing silence look less like a delay and more like an endorsement.
As a direct-to-consumer brand, Article relies completely on public trust and clean lifestyle alignment. We are turning up the heat for the next 24 hours to ensure leadership takes immediate accountability.
Be professional, be firm, and do not let up.
THE FLOODGATES ARE OPEN: TAKE ACTION NOW
PHONE BLITZ:
Customer Service: 888-746-3455 - Tell them you will not buy furniture from a company that sponsors violent rhetoric.

THE EMAIL
Subject: URGENT: Sponsor Alignment, I've Had It Podcast
To the Executive Leadership of Article Modern:
I am writing because your ongoing sponsorship of the I've Had It podcast -- following its November 5th episode featuring violent rhetoric -- presents a severe risk to Article’s brand equity.
With over twenty major corporations, including Cash App, Boll & Branch, ZipRecruiter, and Chewy, having already severed ties with the show, Article now stands completely exposed as a company endorsing political violence.
For a direct-to-consumer lifestyle brand, this ghastly message is going to impact your bottom line.
To address this blow to Article's reputation, executive leadership must immediately terminate the ad agreement, deactivate promo codes, and issue a public statement confirming the split.
Failure to act will trigger next steps — an organized consumer boycott across Article's furniture line just as the holiday shopping season begins.
You’re all alone now, and all eyes are on you.
Do the right thing.
Sincerely,

METOO HOAXER’S LAWYER
THREATENED NYU &
STOPPED SABATINI HIRE
“So are you going to … back off?”
“If you don’t … then you’ll get dragged into this … we’ll deal with [you]”
“Hire him … if you want to become Trump’s institution…”
Probably the most disturbing aspect of MIT’s MeToo hoax is how the hoaxer Kristin Knouse was not content to get David Sabatini run out of @MIT —Knouse also had her lawyer Ellen Zucker threaten NYU over its efforts to bring Sabatini to NYU and defend his reputation.
The transcript below shows how rough Zucker got with NYU’s representative—telling him that his school was run by a “Trump zealot” (WTF??) and threatening to “drag you into it” and “teach you” a lesson.
Knouse’s team also publicized the situation to foment woke mob protests at NYU.
No wonder NYU had to abruptly drop Sabatini from consideration.
Absolutely disgusting.
Add to this the fact that Knouse and her cronies went to great lengths to get Sabatini fired from his private sector jobs at biotech firms and you can see how truly EVIL all of this was…
@kochinstitute @ragoninstitute @InterSystems @KochFoundations you cool with what you are supporting at MIT???

The local Wisconsin brewery that just offered to sponsor Jennifer Welch after 25 others have cut ties with her, is the same company that pledged to give out free beer if President Trump is assassinated.
You can't make this stuff up.
Jennifer Welch says her advertisers were "harassed" into dropping the show.
"Sadly, some of the advertisers have caved. But we still have other advertisers, and we're still standing."
Little companies are apparently stepping in to try to save them.
They read a message from a brewery in Wisconsin that called Charlie Kirk "an awful human being" and wanted to help sponsor the show.
Welch called that "so sweet," then did a shout out for the company for free.
At last count, around 30 sponsors have dropped the podcast.
It's not because they were harassed. It's because these women are toxic.
But hey if you're a little company, just drop these hateful hags a message bashing Charlie. Maybe that'll get you a free ad read.
Spot on
Bizarre to me how much of this discussion has centered on the personal injury to Sabatini (tbf: the actual topic of the suit he won) rather than the revelation that a professor maliciously destroyed the career of another, that she lied and withheld relevant information, and that the net result of these revelations is not only that MIT apparently ran a kangaroo court but that it has no interest in restoring a reputation it harmed, in punishing sociopaths on the faculty, or even in re-allowing a gifted and extraordinarily productive scientist to continue his work. This has much deeper implications about publicly funded science than a simple episode of workplace drama.

Article Modern is the ONE remaining Bad Guy brand supporting the podcast that celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
TWENTY sponsors have done the right thing and pulled all support for the podcast.

Let's make it 21 in the next 24 hours.
As this is a final push with a single brand, the impact will be focused and powerful. That means it's really important to be professional and polite in your interactions.
Model for them the way the hosts of the podcast should have behaved! Be firm, but civil.

THE EMAIL
Subject: URGENT: Corporate Governance & Sponsor Alignment – I've Had It Podcast
I am writing to you directly as leadership regarding a severe and unaddressed risk to the Article brand.
Your company is currently the sole remaining sponsor of the I've Had It podcast following its November 5th episode, in which the hosts openly celebrated political violence.
Over the past 72 hours, twenty major corporations—CashApp, Boll and Branch, Nobl Travel, Lola Blankets, ZipRecruiter, Honey Love, Chewy, Jones Road Beauty, NutraFol, Ridge Wallet, Ethos, Zenni, Ember, iRestore, Ladder, Momentous, ASPCA Pet Insurance, Cozy Earth, Caspar and Quince have left the podcast.
As a direct-to-consumer brand, Article relies heavily on public trust and clean lifestyle alignment. Maintaining active advertising agreements, functional promo codes, and live landing funnels with this specific program signals to consumers a corporate endorsement of toxic and violent rhetoric.
Quiet backend deactivations or generic customer service replies will not suffice. As executive leadership, you must take immediate accountability:
• Terminate the corporate advertising agreement with this show immediately.
• Deactivate all active promotional codes and custom landing pages.
• Issue a formal, public corporate statement confirming your permanent departure.
Article stands completely alone on this matter, and your consumer base is actively keeping score. We expect an immediate and transparent resolution.
Do the right thing today, please.
Sincerely,
Imagine that a scientific research institute teams up with a scientist, Scientist A, to defame and destroy one of the top scientists in the world, Scientist B, based upon false claims of rape and sexual harassment.
Imagine that the institute relies primarily on incomplete texts excerpted and manipulated by the purported victim, whose testimony is also coached and prepared for the ‘investigation,’ as the basis for their destruction of Scientist B who is not given due process or allowed basic fairness.
Then, when Scientist B sues Scientist A and the institute, the institute teams up with Scientist A, funds her legal expenses, and coordinates with her on her defense.
Imagine then that a 13-person jury unanimously finds Scientist A guilty of defamation and tortious interference with Scientist B’s current and future employment and reputation, and awards $10m in damages including interest, while denying all of Scientist A’s claims.
Meanwhile, the institute refuses to revisit its termination of Scientist B claiming it is a personal matter between Scientist A and B.
You don’t need to imagine this, however, it happened. The institute is the Whitehead Institute. Scientist A is Kristin Knouse and Scientist B is @DMSabatini.
What are the @WhiteheadInst and its board thinking?
WTF?
@WhiteheadInst didn’t run a neutral evaluation of the event.
They teamed up with Knouse and paid her legal bills.
An absolute Cotton Mather style DEI witch-hunt
