This is a scary & dangerous time for Jews everywhere. Jews are being attacked everywhere. It’s 2024. Are you serious? This is so wrong. ALL of us must stand with & defend Jews. Everywhere. Don’t be silent. Don’t be timid. Time to fight back. It’s fucking past time. Time to protect Jews. Everywhere.

Last year I wrote a story highlighting Project 2025 & Russell Vought I called “Aiming for Dictatorship.” Trump picked him to run OMB. He’s a dangerous man who supports impounding funds appropriated by Congress if Trump opposes their approved purpose. His goal: “dismantle” the “rogue admin. state.”

🇨🇦The vandalism, promises of a "final solution," a woman giving a Hitler salute, and a man trampling on an Israeli flag while holding a Russian flag—this is something that cannot simply be dismissed with the usual strawman: "Isn't it allowed to criticize Israel without being called an antisemite?"

A 13-year-old with autism got arrested after his backpack sparked fear. Only his stuffed bunny was inside.
Disability rights advocates said kids like Ty should not be getting arrested under Tennessee’s school threats law.

Two reasons. 1. While Biden has the authority to issue executive orders, he’s more likely to do so if he feels pressure from members of Congress. Our House/Senate members can amplify our demands as constituents, making them harder to ignore.
