Over 1,100 American clergy across all Jewish denominations unite to stand with refugees, asylum seekers, and immigrants. Together, they affirm our core Jewish values that declare our responsibility for the dignity, humanity and rights of ALL who dwell within our borders.

This election is now about our national identity. Trump depicting the Obamas as monkeys, candidates unleashing antisemitism and Islamophobia, ICE detaining a 5 yr old in bunny ears, the Epstein files. It's all vile. We will never make America great again if we don't first make America good again.

Republicans in Congress will say nothing to criticize this. Mike Johnson will say he hasn’t heard about it, Fox News will ignore it, Megyn Kelly will laugh at it, and Carlson & Fuentes will state that Black people really are apes. The GOP is now run by these people, but NYT will put it on p. A16.

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war. If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

"And we should look to that playbook of attacks on civil rights era resistance to anticipate what may come next. That means preparing for personal attacks on the character/integrity of “resistance leaders” and infiltration of resistance organizations– especially given the new leadership of the FBI."

I was going to post about this earlier — in the 1950s, “integration” was the same scapegoat for *everything* that DEI has become today. The same scapegoating was deployed even earlier for abolition, and then later for multiculturalism. Different codewords, same racism.
