Sunrise Movement DC's refusal to participate in a voting rights coalition because of "Zionist organizations" involvement is antisemitic.
Sunrise Movement DC is refusing participation in a voting rights rally because of the presence of “Zionist organizations.”
This is the vilification of Jewish nationhood and a litmus test for all who support it.

The Jewish frat house at George Washington University was broken into and its Torah was destroyed.
They ripped the scrolls apart and threw detergent on it.

We are deeply disappointed that a majority of NC legislators voted to override a veto and enact a series of measures that will significantly restrict the rights of LGBTQ+ people. These measures target children in a time where we know LGBTQ+ youth are exceedingly vulnerable.
Today, the NC House and Senate voted to override Governor Cooper’s vetoes of HB 808 (a youth gender-affirming care ban), SB 49 (a “Don’t Say Gay” bill), and HB 574 (a trans sports ban). They will now become law. (🧵)
