We condemn this physical intimidation and antisemitic harassment of @scottwiener.bsky.social – from the demonstrators shouting about his “Zionist handlers” to the fact that he was not able to safely attend a solidarity Shabbat service as a result. It’s unacceptable.

The Trump administration is systematically trying to destroy public education. Vulnerable students will be hurt the most, particularly those in special education programs. Transferring department functions like this — without congressional approval — is also illegal. (1/2)

"Those of us who have previously testified before Congress on this issue know exactly how seriously its Republican members take the fight against antisemitism. Last year, Senator Cassidy’s colleague John Kennedy—another Louisiana Republican who sits on the Judiciary Committee—accused me of “dipping into my ketamine stash” during my own testimony at a hearing on combating antisemitism. This is the same Senator Kennedy who outrageously told Arab American civil rights leader Maya Berry to “hide her head in a bag” at a Senate Judiciary hearing on hate crimes. These are the people lecturing a mayor about protecting Jewish communities? Please."

Text-based graphic says "The Nexus Project applauds the introduction of the Antisemitism Response and Prevention Act by Representatives Nadler, DeLauro, Frost, and Balint. Democracy and Jewish safety are inseparable, and this bill reflects that." And then it shows a tweet by Jacob Kornbluh, which says "Rep. Jerry Nadler and a group of Democrats introduce bill that would establish a federal framework to combat antisemitism, including safeguarding First Amendment–protected speech and preventing the misuse of antisemitism for partisan or ideological ends."

Antisemitism is real and rising. Unfortunately, today’s House hearing on “unions & antisemitism” sought to exploit our community’s legitimate concerns as a wedge to undermine the right to association and to organize - and that does nothing to keep Jews, or anyone, safe.

Zohran Mamdani, a 100% Communist Lunatic, has just won the Dem Primary, and is on his way to becoming Mayor. We’ve had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous. He looks TERRIBLE, his voice is grating, he’s not very smart, he’s got AOC+3, Dummies ALL, backing him, and even our Great Palestinian Senator, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, is groveling over him.
