The “Glossary of Extremism” is one of several blacklists hosted on the ADL’s site. Raichik had previously given the group a deadline of October 31 to remove her name and accompanying profile, arguing that her inclusion in the list alongside “terrorist” groups like Hamas amounted to defamation. The “Glossary of Extremism” is one of several blacklists hosted on the ADL’s site.

The ADL’s profile of Raichik accused her of “attempts to generate outrage and stoke anti-LGBTQ+ hostility by reposting selected out-of-context social media content created by LGBTQ+ people and liberals,” claiming the accounts whose content she reposts without comment are “frequent targets of harassment, threats and violence.” The ADL’s profile of Raichik accused her of “attempts to generate outrage and stoke anti-LGBTQ+ hostility by reposting selected out-of-context social media content created by LGBTQ+ people and liberals,” claiming the accounts whose content she reposts without comment are “frequent targets of harassment, threats and violence.” 
Children’s National Hospital in Washington, DC was reportedly deluged with threats after Raichik posted audio of a phone call in which hospital staff told her they perform “gender-affirming hysterectomies” on kids aged 16 and younger, according to the Washington Post. The hospital would later deny offering such procedures.  Children’s National Hospital in Washington, DC was reportedly deluged with threats after Raichik posted the audio of a phone call in which hospital staff told her they perform “gender-affirming hysterectomies” on kids aged 16 and younger, according to the Washington Post.

ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt denied the allegations even as he admitted to asking corporations to “pause” their ads on X following Musk’s acquisition of the platform last year. Musk and Greenblatt appeared to bury the hatchet earlier this month, when the ADL released a statement suggesting it was “preparing” to return to advertising on X in order to “bring our important message on fighting hate to X and its users.”  ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt denied the allegations, even as he admitted to asking corporations to “pause” their ads on X following Musk’s acquisition of the platform last year.
