I think part of why so many lawmakers take @IlhanMN ’s criticism of “western” countries as a personal affront is tied to the fact that she was a refugee. They think her takeaway from that trauma should be gratitude—to them, to the ‘West’—not the takeaway that all war is horrific.

This is the most-watched “news” network in the US & this is the kind of Islamophobic vitriol that gets fed to people every night by white nationalists like Tucker who hate that a Muslim woman refugee has a positon of power, wants to redistribute wealth, & won’t cower before him.

The president is tweeting “wanted” pics of people accused of tearing down racist statues. All while making it clear he thinks such actions are treasonous/anti-American/merit extreme punishment. He’s going to get people killed. I cannot overstate how scared I am for these folks.

Yeah...this turned out to be some Chabad guys overzealously offering a Jewish woman some Shabbat candles. So she called the cops on them. Spreading this needlessly fuels fear and suspicion among Jews, about other Jews. Great job fighting antisemitism, guys!

#RazanAlNajjar was a 21-year-old volunteer paramedic. The IDF shot + killed her for tending to wounded Palestinians on the Gaza border. This is the cost of the occupation. This is the cost of a hyper-nationalist militarized vision of Jewish safety. It's not worth it. Nothing is.

It’s been 7 years since the first Muslim ban. 22 years since the rise of post-9/11 Islamophobia. Absolutely disgusting to see how quick people in power are to demonize Muslim women, throw them to the wolves, join in the pile-on. Not in my name, hell no.

He didn't commit a crime but he did violate her and pressure her beyond what she consented to. That's assault. No, it's not the same as what Weinstein did but it's still wrong, still a violation and still needs to be called out. Thread continues here:

I'm not asking for men like Aziz Ansari to get fired. I'm not asking for their lives or careers to be over. I'm asking for a little accountability of the harm they've caused. That's it. And yet I've never really seen any man do that.

It’s by no means surprising that Darren Beattie would praise Nazis taking over the U.S. Capitol — he praised Nazis marching in Berlin this past summer:

Hard to get more obvious about your support for white supremacy than calling a march supported by neo-Nazis "beautiful." Again, Darren Beattie works for @mattgaetz , a member of Congress.

Non-Jews: An important thing to know right now is that Jews are feeling v anxious that Jared Kushner will be the primary scapegoat. We know he deserves to go down—we want him to be stripped of power & held accountable. What's scary is what will come next.

I’m tired of our movements not taking antisemitism seriously. It’s not okay. It is taking a toll on me and on all Jewish people on the left. We are tired and heartbroken. I’m not okay with how quick we are to discard Black women, who our movements have abused for so long.

Trump has been spewing the same antisemitic garbage for years. He did it during his campaign. He’s done it throughout his presidency. The question is: why has it gotten so little attention at a time when the GOP is openly trying to smear Democrats as the party of antisemitism?

This is point-blank, unavoidably, intentionally antisemitic. The degree to which the antisemitism coming from this @WhiteHouse has been ignored, minimized, smoothed over, and denied is appalling. We need more people — Jews and non-Jews alike — speaking out against this.
