Overt Anti-Jewish Hate is On the Verge of Going Mainstream
The combination of mainstreamed conspiracy theories and overt hate on X is close to transforming America's relationship with Jews.
open.substack.com
New piece.
The data presented by @thejcpa.bsky.social and @counterhate.com about antisemitism on X is stark: it is being spread to hundreds of millions of people.
Not just antisemitism, but OVERT antisemitism. And that shift means far more than people realize. It won't be long before it leaves X.

Part of the issue is that those most actively protesting and leading mutual aid are women and gender non-conforming people. Both groups are illegible to many as protesters. This helps explain the invisibilization of current protests and resistance.

Don’t think I’ll recover from that photo of the child detained by ICE. What’s sad is this is likely only the beginning.

Hearing confirmed reports from people on the ground of ICE sightings in Portland, Maine today. If you see/know anything, message me on Signal at marisakabas.04
ICE is coming to Portland and Lewiston imminently, their mayors confirmed today. Both cities have large Somali populations.
When reached for comment, ICE wouldn’t even confirm whether or not this action was happening.

I said it a couple of days ago but a really under-discussed dynamic that unfolded during the primary was that Mamdani found himself capable of consolidating the field and presenting himself as the credible alternative to Cuomo because he was the earliest person on both 1) Gaza and 2) Immigration.
Yeah that’s the only difference for sure

Unfortunately, Carlson has done a good job of making it seem he’s more moderate than he is. But his views aren’t much different than Fuentes’s.

Nick Fuentes, a pro-Hitler livestreamer, said on a recent stream that a gold company that previously sponsored Mark Levin offered him a "seven-figure deal."
He doesn't name the company. Advantage Gold has sponsored Levin—and other prominent rightwing commentators—in the past.

MLK is the reason I went from liberal to progressive. He transformed the way I look at America, race, religion, and much more.
He was a prophet. One who is still guiding us if we only listen to his actual words.
He saw every bit of this coming. He told us to be urgent. We need to live that out.

It’s really upsetting to see people repeating the same talking points that got us here.
The only way out of this is not just abolishing ICE but a transformation of our democracy. One that is durable and actually democratic.
All we keep doing is slowing down fascism. And sometimes speeding it up.

To this point, it’s crazy to me that the “abolish ICE” position is seen as some debatable policy measure rather than a prerequisite for building structural guardrails against authoritarianism.
This isn't a left-right ideological issue. But it blows me away that anyone who is actually anti-Trump would think running back Joe Biden/Merrick Garland 2.0 will work the second time. No political party can tolerate a very large, armed secret police force committed to murdering its voters.

Incredibly powerful and insightful commentary on how Democratic leaders helped lead us to this moment. From someone who saw it from the inside.
I worked in a Democratic presidential administration and, even then, DHS was very often the most problematic, obstinate part of negotiating a civil/human rights provision into executive branch policy.
