The Democrats seem set for an historic shift in power in Washington but will squander if if they revert to the old discredited policies, such as backing Israel as it imposes genocide in Gaza, apartheid in the West Bank, and endless occupation and war. https://t.co/X27hyj8Y2v

Soooo much Christian Nationalism at this inauguration, which is exactly what you'd expect. It's an entire identity based on disinformation and provides MAGA the permission structure needed to do all manner of evil.

@WhiteHouse Many Jews supporting Palestinian rights are harassed by other Jews. That is antisemism!

I was honored to speak at the DNC in St. Louis. We, @TheDemocrats, are the party of religious freedom. Thank you Chairman @harrisonjaime for the opportunity to speak about our shared values. Full speech ⬇️ #ReligiousFreedom

@_ZachFoster Describing Israeli deaths on a per capita basis is just a way of saying Israeli lives are more important than American lives. Using that framework, Palestinian lives are more important than Israeli lives. Wrong! All lives are precious.

It cheapens the concept of antisemitism--a real global curse--for defenders of the Israeli government to pretend that it is somehow antisemitic to hold Israel to the same standards of international humanitarian law as we use to assess Hamas's conduct. A war crime is a war crime.

The detention of #HishamKassem, a pillar in journalism & advocate for democracy, is egregious. Call it what it is: a blatant attack on him for speaking truth to power & addressing regime corruption. Let’s not feign ignorance by seeing this as a mere dispute with a regime pawn.

Today marks the anniversary of The Night of the Murdered Poets, when beloved Yiddish writers were executed because of their activism with the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee. May their memory be a blessing.

EXCELLENT historical perspective on the separation of church and state in this piece - exactly the kind of history the religious right doesn't want anyone to learn. #truth #SeparationOfChurchAndState #history #founders
