Bovino Is Said to Have Mocked Prosecutor’s Jewish Faith on Call With Lawyers

If true, calling into question a Jewish US Attorney’s commitment to serve because of his commitment to faith is classic #antisemitism . This is ALSO the disqualification & delegitimization by difference strategy used to perpetuate racism, sexism, & other isms. SMH

Beginning in 1701, slave patrols, with 16 yr old boys, were formed to catch Black human beings. In 2026, on the Roblox gaming platform, kids role play #ICE agents conducting raids to capture β€œillegal” Black & Brown human beings. Where are cruelty free toys?

Burning synagogues, killing Jews, and desecrating people’s dignity is simply sin.

To believe #HolocaustRemembrance Day is merely about the past is to both under estimate the evil of yesterday and the danger of today. #AntiSemitism and its ugly family of isms still stalk the land seeking whom they can devour. #NeverAgainIsNow

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.
