The trust is run by her husband.
Her husband and his bother run the trust.
It's not some vague, arms-length operation they know very little about. They are literally the only 2 people running it and saying where the money goes.

The point about the Advance donation issue is the hypocrisy. Jillian Segal wants to police everyone’s speech while defending her husband’s right to fund an organisation that propagates racism. Her position is untenable.

It's hard to focus on Israel's airstrikes in Lebanon due to Israel's invasion of Syria, which is hard to focus on due to Israel's atrocities in the West Bank, which are hard to focus on due to Israel's genocide in Gaza, which is hard to focus on due to Israel's war on Iran.
