FBI Director Kash Patel on X: "James Comey wrote “love letters” to the ADL and embedded FBI agents with them - a group that ran disgraceful ops spying on Americans. That era is OVER. This FBI won’t partner with political fronts masquerading as watchdogs. https://t.co/R6IKpSTfuP" / X James Comey wrote “love letters” to the ADL and embedded FBI agents with them - a group that ran disgraceful ops spying on Americans. That era is OVER. This FBI won’t partner with political fronts masquerading as watchdogs. https://t.co/R6IKpSTfuP

This week, FBI director Kash Patel cut the FBI’s ties with the ADL, calling them an “extreme group functioning like a terrorist organization.”

This is the authoritarian playbook: delegitimize watchdogs, invert reality, and cast those who fight hate as enemies of the state.

CHRISTIAN IDENTITY IS A WHITE POWER THEOLOGY, not just identifying as Christian. Christian Identity believes that white people are the lost tribe of Israel and all people of color and Jewish people are descended from beasts or from Satan. (1)

This administration’s latest attacks—accusing opponents of “terrorism”—are part of a dangerous pattern meant to silence dissent and undermine the rule of law. Our government should enforce the law, not weaponize it. Our safety depends on protecting our core democratic norms.

The ADL has a new survey claiming: "Widespread Antisemitism and Anti-Israel Bias Reported by Faculty in Higher Education."

But it's basically a survey of faculty who already belong to a pro-Israel advocacy group.

Graphic with JCPA (Jewish Council for Public Affairs) logo at the top. Bold headline reads: “Antisemitism is real and rising.” Below, white text on a dark blue background says: “Unfortunately, today’s House hearing on ‘unions & antisemitism’ sought to exploit our community’s legitimate concerns as a wedge to undermine the right to association and to organize—and that does nothing to keep Jews, or anyone, safe.” At the bottom, a photo shows a congressional hearing room with lawmakers seated at long desks.

Antisemitism is real and rising. Unfortunately, today’s House hearing on “unions & antisemitism” sought to exploit our community’s legitimate concerns as a wedge to undermine the right to association and to organize - and that does nothing to keep Jews, or anyone, safe.

"“New plan,” Greenblatt said in his address to national leadership last year, repeating a phrase that had recently been taken up by other Jewish organizations: “Put on your own oxygen mask first.”"

is a rich text unto itself

ADL Musk

I spoke with 40+ sources for a look inside the Anti-Defamation League. Here’s some of what I found.

ADL’s gentle response to Elon Musk’s infamous salute was partially driven by his support of Israel. To ADL, that indicated he didn’t have “antisemitic tendencies.” (1/x)

Do you know what the office of remigration is? Of course not and that's the point. Find out why here: blogs.timesofisrael.com/rubios-secre...

DHS used anonymous pro-Israel site to target activists for deportation, agency says in court DHS said at a trial Wednesday that it used a list from the site, which has been accused of doxxing people whom it sees as being anti-Israel and antisemitic.

A senior ICE official admitted that ICE is using Canary Mission to identify students to deport.

Let's be clear: Canary Mission — and its counterpart, Betar US — are extremist groups that do not represent the interests of mainstream Jewish America.

“It is unconscionable to see elected officials celebrate a budget that strips people of essential health care, takes food from hungry families & inflicts unnecessary suffering to enrich millionaires.”

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.

One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.

They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

Good @sikevin99.bsky.social piece on this very subject today blogs.timesofisrael.com/rubios-secre...

The Blogs: Rubio’s Secret Antisemitic Proposal for State From the blog of Kevin Rachlin at The Times of Israel

Our own @sikevin99.bsky.social has an important read on the State Department's proposed Office of Remigration.

"...this office isn’t just about immigration—it’s the policy arm for the 'Great Replacement Theory,' the same antisemitic conspiracy that motivated the 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue massacre."

Donald Trump Truth social post dated June 25, 2025 says "It’s finally happened, the Democrats have crossed the line. Zohran Mamdani, a 100% Communist Lunatic, has just won the Dem Primary, and is on his way to becoming Mayor. We’ve had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous. He looks TERRIBLE, his voice is grating, he’s not very smart, he’s got AOC+3, Dummies ALL, backing him, and even our Great Palestinian Senator, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, is groveling over him. Yes, this is a big moment in the History of our Country!"

🔎 The President continues to viciously attack both Jewish and Muslim elected leaders and candidates in an attempt to spread hate and increase polarization

YouTube video by The Nexus Project How Weaponized Antisemitism Is Being Used to Dismantle Democracy — with Rep. Jerry Nadler & Experts

If you missed today's conversation on how weaponized antisemitism is being used to dismantle democracy with @nadler.house.gov, @bulldogshadow.bsky.social, and Hannah Rosenthal, you can watch it here:

Our Washington Director, @sikevin99.bsky.social, recently testified before Congress to explain why Project Esther poses a grave threat to Jewish communities.

Jewish groups in US line up to oppose Trump anti-Semitism strategy US Jewish groups are unified over the need to fight mounting anti-Semitic incidents across the country, but many are bitterly opposed to how President Donald Trump is seeking to counter the scourge.

"Trump's strategy 'doesn't keep Jews safe.' Rather, it seeks to separate the Jewish minority from others in the country and ignores right-wing anti-Semitism, [Nexus's] @sikevin99.bsky.social argues.

'We as Jews are safer when we're in coalition with other groups and other minorities.'"

“Since Trump came in they are weaponizing Jewish fear to advance a very specific agenda,” said @sikevin99.bsky.social, Washington director of the Nexus Project.

“What will you do to protect us?” he said. “Shutting down and defunding schools, deporting people? That doesn’t protect Jews.”

Opinion | I Can’t Believe Anyone Thinks Trump Actually Cares About Antisemitism Jews should remember how Trump promised to “protect” L.G.B.T. citizens.

Correct, @michellegoldberg.bsky.social.

This is exactly why Nexus developed a strategy to fight antisemitism — and its exploitation — in the Trump era.

The Blogs: The First Yom HaShoah of the Second Trump Administration From the blog of Jonathan Jacoby at The Times of Israel

This Yom HaShoah reflection from Jonathan Jacoby of @nexusproject.bsky.social is very much worth your time: blogs.timesofisrael.com/the-first-yo...

This is a piece about history and learning from it and also, I think, about why letting your hope be bigger than your fear is the only way of shrinking the things you are afraid of

I’m with @juliezebrak.bsky.social and @thejcpa.bsky.social Upping my gift in memory of my Zaydi, an orthodox Rabbi, immigrant to DC from Jerusalem who marched with rabbis to plead for Jewish safety with FDR’s White House. They did not prevail. WE CAN. Jewish safety and democracy-like PB&J. Join us.

If you have been wondering about all the insanity inside the American Jewish community right now, then boy oh boy does @kampeas.bsky.social have a story for you.

Hope everyone even a lil interested in Jewish politics in America today reads this

Pa. Gov. Shapiro was targeted for ‘what he wants to do to Palestinian people’: warrant The search warrant obtained by PennLive reveals what police believe was Cody Balmer's motive in the arson: "perceived injustices to the people of Palestine."

Using Palestinian safety as a pretext for this violent attack on a Jewish governor on the first night of Passover is transparently antisemitic and wrong.
