Supporters of Israel as a nation (in spite of contempt for Netanyahu) should speak out. Violence and murder by the settlers has been excused and thus encouraged for too long.

Shylock is among the most quintessential antisemitic stereotypes. This is not an accident. It follows years in which Trump has normalized antisemitic tropes and conspiracy theories — and it’s deeply dangerous.

Donald Trump just referred to bankers using a centuries-old antisemitic slur & trope.

No wonder 52% of American Jewish voters believe he's antisemitic.

A word to the wise: "These Jews keep crawling out of the box I want them in" is not a position generally held by people who believe in the agency of Jews to determine their own future.

The reason I remain hopeful about the future of our country, despite all that is unfolding in America today, is that everywhere I look I see people acting with the courage and heroism that this moment requires.

Whether it’s the Los Angeles Dodgers or the 60 minute anchors...

This is a difficult moment for the vast majority of American Jews, who are supportive of Israel, concerned about the security and safety of the Israeli people and Jews in the U.S. and around the world, and fearful that President Trump lacks a clear strategy about what happens next with Iran.

We cannot permit Iran to develop a nuclear weapon.

Thank you! 🙏🏼

Thank you!! 🙏🏼

In which this is an actual book that I can hold in my hands. Is this the part where it’s supposed to start feeling real??? Many thanks to everyone who helped make this an actual thing, including Aura Lewis, Karen Smith, and Rena Rossner. We made a book!!!

POLL: 71% of US Jews oppose Trump’s orders allowing gov to deport people without a court hearing.

Awaiting comment from the head of the Jewish Federations, who warned Jewish communal pros not to denounce the arrests of foreign students – because that position was outside the Jewish "mainstream."

This statement from @raskin.house.gov highlights the hypocrisy of Trump and the GOP on antisemitism and the games they are playing with Jewish safety. We should oppose the Antisemitism Awareness Act. medium.com/@SteveSheffe...

Trump Fires Biden Appointees, Including Doug Emhoff, From Holocaust Museum “Holocaust remembrance and education should never be politicized,” Mr. Emhoff said in reaction to the removal of him and senior Biden White House officials from the board that oversees the museum.

This administration appears to be doing everything in its power to turn antisemitism into a political wedge — and it makes Jews, and everyone, less safe.

Democrats, Republicans and Double Standards on Israel and Antisemitism Why do Trump and Republicans always get the benefit of the doubt while Democrats are constantly suspected?

This analysis from @ilangoldenberg.bsky.social on Democrats, Republicans, and double standards on Israel and antisemitism is a must-read, must-share article. ilangoldenberg.substack.com/p/democrats-...

Democrats, Republicans and Double Standards on Israel and Antisemitism Why do Trump and Republicans always get the benefit of the doubt while Democrats are constantly suspected?

70% of American Jews voted for Kamala Harris. This piece by @ilangoldenberg.bsky.social goes out to the ones who somehow still think that Trump was the better choice.

✨ In honor of World Book Day, some incredibly exciting news: My book has a cover!!! Aura Lewis has created some spectacular art for this book, and just wait until you see what’s inside, which is every bit as bright, joyful, and fun as this cover. Head over to B&N now to preorder!

This is, as ever, what democracy looks like. What showing up for our country, our people, our morals looks like. What standing for our Jewish values looks like. Proud to march with my @jstreetdotorg.bsky.social crew today to stand up, fight back, and say loudly and clearly: #HandsOff.

10/ And once Trump has the lawyers, colleges and industry under his thumb, it becomes very hard for the opposition to have any viable space to maneuver.

Trump didn’t invent this strategy. It’s the playbook for democratically elected leaders who want to stay in power forever.

1. This decision to cut millions in funding to Columbia is dangerous and not going to help counter antisemitism on campus. If anything it might just make the problem worse.

This is an abandonment of diaspora Jews. Normalizing the political parties that are the fringe heirs to Nazism in Europe is not something the Israeli government should be doing.

Exactly this. The dangerous ideas Trump laid out tonight would benefit no one but the extremists on all sides of this equation looking to perpetuate endless war, endless ill will, and endless misery for everyone else just looking to live their lives in peace, security & dignity.

🔠 This book is out as a board book today! So thrilled to get it into the littlest readers’ hands, where it scan inspire them to dream big about all the things they can be.

Donald Trump is clearly taking Elon's advice to "move beyond" the Holocaust.

It's (the end of) Holocaust Remembrance Day and Trump hasn't said a word about it.

But he did pardon the "Camp Auschwitz " insurrectionist just in time for the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz

In case we’ve forgotten, an AfD supporter killed 5 people in a terror attack a month ago. Today — after a week that included Nazi salutes, pardons of violent insurrectionists, & far-right anti-immigrant/LGBTQ policies — Trump official Musk rallied with AfD & told them to “move beyond” the Holocaust.

Also yes project 2025 was always the plan.
