The fight against antisemitism is inherent not only to Jewish safety, but to all communities’ safety and our democracy. And at a time when antisemitism is being normalized in new & dangerous ways, this bill is a critical step forward.

At this point, this is effectively Trump’s stump speech.

Again, the “bad” Jews trope is antisemitic & dangerous on many levels: playing into dual loyalty by conflating Jews & Israel, justifying attacks on “bad” Jews, and normalizing Trump’s own embrace of antisemitic extremists

Another KKK Act lawsuit!

Our Charlottesville case started a new trend of civil rights litigation using this 150+ year old law against modern day white supremacists & neo-Nazis. A sad testament to this moment of rising hate & extremism - and a reminder that accountability matters

As I told Gabby Deutch, the Biden administration has done more to counter antisemitism than any White House — including a historic national strategy now being implemented.

We have seen firsthand how personal this is to POTUS, and we should not lose that perspective.

Guernica's editor-in-chief, whose decision to publish an Israeli writer's essay about the war in Gaza last month led to mass resignation of the magazine's staff, has herself resigned, saying she disagreed with the decision to retract the essay / JTA | Jewish news

Trump has repeatedly turned to the “bad,” “disloyal” Jews trope.

It’s antisemitic & dangerous on multiple levels: playing into dual loyalty by conflating Jews & Israel, justifying attacks on “bad” Jews, and further normalizing Trump’s own embrace of antisemitic extremists.

It’s me. I’m “Witness.”

And nearly a year after this hearing, the increasingly-normalized extremism, hate, and disinformation on display from officials like MTG should still frighten all of us.

Hi, Mr. Mayor. There are, in fact, women leaders in both the Jewish and African American communities (and even Black Jewish women leaders!). Perhaps include some next time? We have as much a stake in our communities’ and our city’s future.

Today Trump called immigrants “animals” and argued that, if he doesn’t win in November, it “could be the last election we ever have.”

And it’s barely getting attention. This is how fascism is normalized. It cannot be considered partisan to call this out.
