Only an administration that really, really cared about fighting antisemitism would start making lists of Jewish professors... 🙄 We recognize smokescreen antisemitism when we see it. They do not care about Jews or our safety.

"This due process thing," as Greenblatt calls it, is not conditional. These fundamental rights keep Jewish people, and all people, safe. When these rights are denied to some, they can be denied for all of us. We demand that all those abducted for their speech and dissent be freed immediately.

The Trump Admin is trying to disappear almost 200 more people to El Salvador. This is a violation of due process. If we let Trump get away with disappearing immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act, there is nothing stopping him from disappearing U.S. citizens next. (1/2)

SCOTUS ruled that Trump had to give people adequate notice before deporting them. Yet today, there are reports that he's deporting 177 immigrants with under 24 hours' notice—not enough time to assert due process. We cannot stand by as this admin continues to disappear people.

RFK Jr.'s vile lies endanger those with autism, including autistic Jews. Autism is not a disease or a tragedy. Autistic people are vital parts of the fabric of our communities and our country.

"The admission from a convicted murderer that he felt he was doing the president’s work in carrying out the El Paso massacre should be a reminder about the dangerous consequences of immigration rhetoric that dehumanizes, inflames, and misinforms." My piece to @elpasomatters.bsky.social

The suspect in the Passover attack on Gov. Shapiro and his family is reported to have said he was motivated by Palestinian suffering. Make no mistake: Political violence is wrong, coopting human rights of Palestinians for it is wrong, and targeting Jews for it because they are Jews is antisemitic.

We're proud to be one of the Jewish organizations who joined a legal brief objecting to the arrest, detention and potential deportation of Rümeysa Öztürk. We will not let legitimate Jewish fear of antisemitism be used as a smokescreen to harm immigrants. t.co/fW3BJ99bml

Thank you for the shout out, @democracynow.org. Jews didn’t ask for this attack on immigrants & our democracy. We see through Trump’s cruel agenda: using Jewish pain & fear as an excuse to attack political opponents and end free speech. Join us & take action: www.bendthearc.us/immigrant_speech_ban

⚠️ The Trump administration just announced that the Department of Homeland Security will begin surveilling immigrants’ social media for “evidence of antisemitism.” ⚠️ Congress needs to hear from us as Jews when these attacks are done in our name. www.bendthearc.us/immigrant_sp...

Sharing one last time: "to the extent that any of this is about the safety of Jews, it’s not about safety for all Jews. It’s not even really about the safety of some Jews because they are Jews, but rather because they adhere to a certain political or ideological program." forward.com/opinion/7109...

(🧵1/3) DHS can now deny immigration benefits -- including applying for visas and lawful residency -- based on whether or not the current administration thinks your social media activity aligns with their interpretation of antisemitism.

Treating antisemitism as an imported problem does not fight antisemitism. Using politically malleable language like "terrorist sympathizer" to go after immigrants does not fight antisemitism. Doing this while elevating antisemitism, as this administration is doing, does not fight antisemitism.

All antisemitism is harmful and dangerous. But Trump and the MAGA movement cynically use antisemitism to benefit and empower themselves — creating fear and division while attacking other groups. Learn how to recognize the complex strategy that we call Smokescreen Antisemitism.

BREAKING: The Trump administration will begin screening immigrants’ social media for “antisemitism.” This will NOT fight antisemitism. This is simply using Jews as an excuse to move a cruel, anti-immigrant, authoritarian agenda. We refuse to be used this way. www.uscis.gov/newsroom/new...
