“safety of Jewish children in our schools will not come from congressional hearings & punitive investigations. It will come from strong, well-resourced public schools…multicultural curriculum that meaningfully includes Judaism & antisemitism…empathy, history & civic responsibility”

“the willingness of Good and Pretti to put themselves in danger for the cause of racial justice proved an unparalleled galvanizing force, one that simultaneously affirms the best about America, and the worst.”

With a history of bigotry and racism, Trump nominee Jeremy Carl gets a Senate hearing - Salon.com Carl has tried to gloss over his comments about anti-white racism and Great Replacement theory

Jeremy Carl is an unfit, unqualified nominee who should be rejected.

“”Carl also claimed that Jews ‘loved to play the victim,’ and downplayed the Holocaust as ‘a trauma in their past,’ referring to communal remembrance of the genocide as ‘a little distasteful.’”

International Holocaust Remembrance Day: January 27, 2026 International Holocaust Remembrance Day calls on us to examine what we are teaching the next generation about how the Holocaust happened.

“teaching the Holocaust must show how law, media, churches, courts & classrooms were repurposed to sort human beings into those who belonged & those who could be dispossessed, expelled or killed…press students to see where that same machinery is humming now.”

Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal government’s account of the event.

“while Mr. Pretti is on his knees and restrained, the agent standing directly above him appears to fire one shot at Mr. Pretti at close range. He immediately fires three additional shots.”

Great @macfarlanenews.bsky.social piece on the essential Department of Justice Community Relations Service.

The Trump administration effort to eliminate these DoJ conflict resolution specialists is just one way they have made our country far less safe from extremism, white supremacy, and hate.

Some figures pardoned for Jan. 6, 2021, are bent on retribution The network of people prosecuted and pardoned for their role in the attack on the U.S. Capitol is moving rapidly toward their goals.

We @splcenter.org track the impact of President Trump’s horrible decision to indiscriminately pardon >1500 individuals charged with #Jan6 crimes.

Excusing/celebrating their actions has led to more crime & the potential for more intimidation & political violence.

Trump launches fresh attacks from familiar playbook with tirade on Somali immigrants President Trump made racist comments about Somali immigrants and Somalia multiple times this week. It's a common tactic used by the president to get attention from those who share his nativist views.

Hey @nytimes.com — this is how it’s done.

It’s not hard.
It’s not just “nativism.”
