It’s up to political leaders to stand up and condemn antisemitism wherever and whenever we see it. Even if it’s coming from the most powerful people in our nation.

Leading antisemitism expert: Seeing the Nazi salute on the most prestigious platform in the country is beyond terrifying for American Jews. What's most troubling? Lacking condemnation when "public figures like Steve Bannon and Elon Musk advance antisemitic conspiracy theories.”

Jewish college student and advocate against antisemitism: The actions of the Trump Administration are divisive, and they erode the rights and freedoms that've allowed American Jews to flourish. Our future depends on your commitment to protect pluralism and democracy.

At the hearing on antisemitism, Sen. Kennedy just accused a Jewish witness of "dipping into your ketamine stash" for saying that OCR should be funded to investigate antisemitism and for describing protests on college campus against the war on Gaza as he saw them. I find this outrageous, personally.

We are watching and paying attention to this thread and this hearing -- we are in a very scary place when it comes to anti-Jewish hatred. We need to heighten our critical thinking and compassion. Our rights and our lives at stake by those that seek to redefine antisemitism to defend the Israeli govt

Leading antisemitism expert: We hear of Holocaust survivors who—for the second time in their life—feel the need to hide who they are. "The normalizing of Nazi symbols, ideas, and slogans is deeply upsetting."

We're here (w/ sikevin99.bsky.social) at the bafflingly-titled GOP hearing, "Never To Be Silent: Stemming the Tide of Antisemitism in America." We'll be watching to see just how much Republicans can try to cynically use Jewish pain to enact their cruel agenda (without helping fix antisemitism).

Thank you @durbin.senate.gov @judiciarydems.senate.gov for calling out Musk's connects to the German far-right + Trump getting rid of Dept of Ed's Office of Civil Rights + his use of #GreatReplacement conspiracy theory in today's #antisemitism hearing. Trump Admin actions do NOT make Jews safer.

Senate Judiciary Democrats have long had a consistent message on hate crimes: Violence to advance political goals has NO place in our country—no matter the ideology. We’re reemphasizing it at today’s hearing on antisemitism.

US Senate committee on the judiciary is holding another hearing on antisemitism and the chair of the committee (Sen Chuck Grassley) just repeatedly mispronounced “Elie Wiesel.” If that’s not symbolism for something…

Sanctuary cities. Campus antisemitism. Today, Republicans will hold Congressional hearings on these two issues. They will try to use these topics to paint a false, scary picture — a conscious strategy to move their cruel agenda. But why are these issues connected? 🧵

The MAGA movement says deporting activists and threatening educational institutions is good for Jews. It's not. It never has been. Our history tells us this. Freedom to dissent is vital for Jewish safety and all of our safety. We won't be used an excuse to enact their cruel authoritarian agenda.

Iowa was once a leader for LGBTQ+ equality. Now it is the first state to roll back civil rights protections it previously enshrined into law — for one of the smallest and most vulnerable minorities. This horrifying threat to trans people is a threat to us all. 1/

The freedom to live without fear of discrimination is a core American value, but anti-equality lawmakers in Iowa are trying to undermine that freedom by fast-tracking a bill that would remove civil rights protections for trans and queer Iowans. Iowans are showing up for our community.

The Haitian Bridge Alliance is appalled by the Trump Administration's order to immediately STOP providing services to unaccompanied children. We stand in solidarity with all our allies impacted by this cruel decision to end legal representation to unaccompanied immigrant children

We strongly condemn the Trump Administration’s reckless and inhumane decision to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 500,000 Haitian nationals in August 2025—6 months earlier than the previously designated expiration date of February 2026. #tpshaiti #haiti

TPS and DED recipients are essential to our communities. They’re business owners, essential workers, and neighbors who have built their lives here. I’m fighting for these hardworking individuals who contribute so much to our nation. #HomeIsHere

The ADL just called out (or, rather, sort of alluded to) Steve Bannon's Nazi salute last night. But they still defend Elon Musk's sieg heil after the inauguration — enabling the MAGA movement that endangers Jews & all of us. Join thousands and demand they retract their defense: bendthearc.us/ADL

We firmly reject legislation based on the false, dangerous framing of immigration as an "invasion." This rhetoric (and associated conspiracy theories) threaten immigrant, Jewish, and BIPOC communities all at once — directly inspiring deadly violence (see: Pittsburgh, El Paso, Buffalo).
