Don't make us tap the sign:

Per the Trump playbook, Jews who do not adhere to fascist tendencies are categorized as "bad Jews" alongside the enemy "other." Investigating these Jewish orgs. also tracks the targeting of JVP featured prominently in the Heritage Foundation's Project Esther: lpeproject.org/blog/how-the...

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Excellent from Darryl Li:

again, Democrats should be saying that they will investigate and prosecute those who gave the order and those who carried it out. this is murder and a war crime.

DHS is recruiting using a not-so-subtle reference to a 1978 book from white nationalist William Gayley Simpson, Which Way Western Man?

Simpson's book was released under an imprint associated with the National Alliance, founded by Turner Diaries author William Luther Pierce.

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

A hunger strike at a South Florida immigration detention center state officials have named “Alligator Alcatraz” enters its tenth day, as detainees protest what they call inhumane and dangerous living conditions.

Great point @purplechrain.bsky.social and something I think David Schraub captures well in his work. On issues of abortion rights and immigration, an attempted revocation of valid and permissible Jewishness has been consistently leveraged.

In agreeing to this, Brown embraces the project of defining the Jewish community by adherence to Zionism. And even more nefariously, the institution disavows DEI while providing special measures for the ideological subset of the Jewish community the Trump administration deems valid.

This is how the Jewish right manages to convince themselves that they are actually a majority in the US - by defining most of us out of Jewishness. They would rather rule over a tiny community than have to actually work to convince people in a larger one.

Taner Akçam, Marianne Hirsch, and I introduce the Genocide and Holocaust Studies Crisis Network and call for immediate concrete measures to prevent further atrocity crimes and to protect civilians in Gaza.

Gaza has reached IPC Phase 5, which is the worst level of food insecurity & is associated with high amounts of death & permanent disability. For people experiencing this level of malnutrition, even if it ended today, many of the consequences (eg personal outcomes like disabilities) are irreversible.

Inseparable from the discussion of the weaponization of Jewishness is Israel’s brutal starvation of Gaza, which continues unabated and worsens by the hour. If you are able, please consider supporting the Sameer Project: chuffed.org/project/1132....

Excited to share my piece in @lpeblog.bsky.social, which discusses the Trump administration's construction of Jewishness and weaponization of antisemitism. Trump has always claimed the power to define "good" and "bad" Jews, but lately, institutions are being pressured to adhere to this framework.

“We rarely leave the house anymore, afraid our legs might give out. While searching on the streets for something, anything, to feed her children, my sister suddenly collapsed to the ground. Her body didn’t even have the strength to stay upright.”
