I got this text and assumed it was phishing cuz who clicks links in unsolicited text messages? What’s next? The government texting all the Jews that our car warranty is expiring? No more waiting for “first as tragedy, then as farce.” Now it’s: simultaneously as tragedy and farce.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Stop pretending that the authoritarian repression is BECAUSE of the problems in {higher education, the media, the law, government, immigration policy, etc.}. This is what authoritarians do. If they didn't focus on these justifications, they'd come up with other ones.

"Keshet and the Hebrew Free Loan Society are partnering to offer interest-free loans of up to $10,000 for individuals and families to support relocation costs to another state because of anti-LGBTQ+ laws, policies, and climate in their current state of residence."

Once again the most antisemitic presidency in generations, an administration with actual Nazis on staff, is determining which Jews are Jewish and which are degenerates (hint: the latter = the vast majority of American Jews)—with the added bonus of using "Palestinian" as a slur.

i keep reading statements from democrats saying they find mahmoud khaleil's views to be abhorrent and despicable before going on to say that he should nonetheless be given due process. but no one has been able to demonstrate what khaleil's views are beyond the admin's assertions. except for cnn:

Have to respect the effort. Most people who'd killed thousands of old people and covered it up—or diverted state funds to produce their multimillion-dollar book, or conspired to keep their own party out of power, or groped countless unwilling women—would be satisfied they'd already hit bottom.

"I brought back free speech in America, it's back" - Trump during his joint address to Congress. That's a lie. Trump is not the free speech president - he's the president of censorship.

This is a book I bought in the bookstore that was raided in East Jerusalem. This is me on a beautiful hike in Wadi Qelt near Jericho, courtesy of this book that I bought in that bookstore. This bookstore is not my enemy. The government that jails booksellers in my name is.

Understand this: by trying to kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Elon Musk and Russ Vought are trying to make it easier for big banks to cheat you. It’s another way the Trump administration wants to reward the rich and powerful while hurting working people.

Is it passive-aggressive to comment “Good news: this is not actually happening!” and share a link to a fact-checking site with true info when someone uncritically shares a hoax news story? Hoping not cuz I already did it to the friend who posted this

Wow. @nbcnews.com said there were "scores" of activists at the Treasury protest on Tuesday night. I was there, and there were thousands of people. We need "legacy" media to cover this coup with vigor and accuracy.

The best way to end antisemitism is by combating it alongside other forms of oppression — NOT by elevating it above other forms of oppression, isolating Jews from other minority groups. These fascists are not trying to fight antisemitism. They are using Jews to divide & conquer.

Thinking a lot today about the "what can we do?" question & I keep returning to the story of Abel Meeropol. I'm sure many of you know his story, but for those who don't: Abel was a Jewish English teacher in the Bronx in the 1930s. Disturbed by all of the lynching in the news, he wrote a poem.
