Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe.
Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

The Heritage Foundation, which is staffing the US presidential administration, has spent the past two weeks mainstreaming actual neo-Nazis into American public life, and much of the American Jewish establishment is panicking about a Muslim mayor of New York City.

Oregonians, we need your help.
ICE activity is increasing in our communities. If you see something, report it to PIRC's hotline (1-888-622-1510) and get your phone out to record it.

See the issue is that Trump ran on releasing on the Epstein files, and Bondi said she had them sitting on her desk ready to go, and then Elon Musk tweeted that Trump was in them and they were suddenly deemed a hoax and Ghislaine was moved to a spa prison, so you can understand the fresh intrigue
Mike Johnson: "Suddenly now, they've somehow convinced themselves that the Epstein files will be damaging to President Trump and Republicans in some way that they've imagined, and so they feign outrage."

If a large portion of the organized American Jewish community really leans hard into "Holocaust memory only bears moral lessons for the treatment of Jews," I do not think they will ultimately like the way that will lead the rest of the country to relate to the Jewish community.
The Los Angeles Holocaust Museum made a social media post with a graphic reading: "'Never again' can't only mean never again for Jews."
After a backlash from some voices online, they retracted the post and apologized.

The White House is declaring war on campus DEI — except for Jews
Singling out Jews on campus as the only specially protected minority group that receive DEI programs will not go well for us.

If someone says "We need to support state violence towards trans people, it's for women's safety"
Would you say "Trans people are not a threat to women"?
Or "Women deserve to be unsafe"?
Both statements push back against the first, but one does damage to women by accepting dishonest framing

A lot of people on the right are manipulating concerns about misogyny and sexism to push extreme violence against the trans community. This does not mean misogyny and sexism are not very real problems.

This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.

I agree with this thread but want to make another point. While antisemitism (real and fake) are discussed at length, a lot of this video is just not about (((us))). It is what I and others say we want—anti-genocide advocacy that is not single-mindedly obsessed with The Jews.
I watched this video, out of academic interest, and while I know it has been getting some pushback from some Jewish corners of the internet, I thought it was fairly well done.

The President is now calling for RICO charges against a 95-year-old Holocaust survivor.
For those unfamiliar, Soros conspiracies are an antisemitic dog whistle, invoking the age-old myth that wealthy Jewish people are scheming behind the scenes to control the world.

I used to think I was too online, and that gave me a mistakenly grim impression of the world, but now I think the opposite. It's people who are not online enough who don't realize that John McCain's party is well and truly dead and the online shitposters are fully running the Republican Party now.
They’re making fun of the media referring to Kilmar Abrego Garcia as a Maryland man as they threaten to send him to Uganda, a country where he’s never lived.
They’re simply fucking vile.

We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.
