Trump is exploiting rising antisemitism to advance an unconstitutional political agenda predicated on discrimination, retribution, & fear. His response to the Boulder attack demonstrated a callous diversion from the real issue. Read @haliesoifer.bsky.social’s latest op-ed on substack & subscribe:

While Trump describes D-Day as 'not a great day', we remember it as the turning of the tide in the defeat of fascism. Incredible that the President of the United States doesn’t see it the same way.

The horrific attack in Boulder - and the broader wave of antisemitic violence - make clear the urgent need to not only invest in the physical security Jewish and other targeted communities deserve — but to also build resilience against the normalization of hate in the first place.

We’ll keep saying it: the Jewish community’s legitimate fears and concerns should not exploited to undermine core democratic norms, or otherwise advance discriminatory & unconstitutional policies. Doing so only makes Jews - and all communities - less safe.

It's important to challenge this in the courts. It's also important to understand that Trump engages in performative behavior when he wants you to ignore something else he's doing. Don't look away.

Trump is exploiting the rise of antisemitism to enact an unconstitutional political agenda defined by bigotry & retribution. He's using rising antisemitism as a pretext for banning Muslims, deporting without due process & defunding universities while failing to make Jewish Americans more secure.

Russia’s goal from day 1 of the invasion has been the surrender or destruction of Ukraine. Today, on day 1,194, they restated that goal in Istanbul. That’s why nothing comes of ‘peace talks’ & nothing ever will, until they are forced to negotiate. Forced.

The Jewish community is still grappling with a shattered sense of security following the deadly antisemitic attack in DC, and now an incendiary device targeted a hostage awareness event in Bolder, CO. Praying no lives were lost in this 2nd violent antisemitic attack in less than two weeks. Enough.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.
