We're trying something different...
Instead of releasing one List ranking of the worst takes on X/Twitter, we'll provide exclusive early access to The List power ranking to subscribers only. Before we publicly unveil the final top 10 worst takes at the end of each month, we will serve up these tasty appetizers in the lead-up to the main course.
NEW SUBSCRIBERS: Use promo code SIRAJTAKESITONTHECHEST for an EXTRA month off a new $50 annual Locals subscription. Using this code for your annual subscription means you'll get THREE months of FREE access to the Habibi Bros Locals community, where you'll get to directly engage with Siraj, Jay, and the Habibis.

Offense: "Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal"
9) Greta Thunberg [Previous week: #7]
Offense: "Week 270. Today we strike in solidarity with Palestine and Gaza. The world needs to speak up and call for an immediate ceasefire, justice and freedom for Palestinians and all civilians affected. #FreePalestine #IStandWithPalestine #StandWithGaza #FridaysForFuture Thread"
8) Rashida Tlaib [Previous week: #6]
Offense: "Israel just bombed the Baptist Hospital killing 500 Palestinians (doctors, children, patients) just like that.
7) Sameera Khan [Previous week: #5]

6) Najma Sharif [Previous week: #4]
Offense: "what did y'all think decolonization meant? vibes? papers? essays? losers."
5) Guardian Australia [Previous week: Not ranked]
Offense: "Israel must stop weaponising the Holocaust | Raz Segal"
4) Eric Levitz
Offense: "Last night, I asserted that this report indicated that babies were beheaded. This was an overstatement. I should have said that the report established that babies were found headless, a fact that lends plausibility to claims of beheading, but which does not prove them."
3) UN Human Rights Council [Previous week: #3]
Offense: "On Monday afternoon, the @UN Human Rights Council observed a moment of silence for the loss of innocent lives in the occupied Palestinian territory and elsewhere. #HRC54"
2) Bethan McKernan [Previous week: #2]
Offense: "Just looked at today's UK front pages and I am horrified by the headlines claiming "40 babies beheaded by Hamas" in Kfar Aza. Yes, many children were murdered. Yes, there were several beheadings in the attack. This claim, however, is unverified and totally irresponsible."
1) BLM Chicago [Previous week: #1]
Offense: "That is all that is it!"
