Imagine if we lived in a world where the headline was:

"Member of Congress demands answers from State Department for victims of war crimes"

Evangelical Zionist leader goes on antisemitic rant against Jews when his biblical vision for Israel doesn't appear to be on the path of implementation? Who could have seen this coming???https://t.co/QcKsKFL5Zw

Another way to say "labor shortage" is "worker power".

Required reading on the development of Jewish left movement work, and where our future is headed, from the indomitable @homeandfreedom

[April Rosenblum #ThePastDidntGoAnywhere @homeandfreedom]

The world needs Jews to lead on antisemitism, & to do it from a perspective of collective liberation.

In the wake of Israel's assault on Gaza, as we watch Jewish fears leveraged to heighten policing, I respond to @JewishCurrents.

The unemployment checks are stopping. The eviction protections are stopping. Let's prepare ourselves to stand with a lot more community than expected very soon.

"[When Jews miss] the ways we’ve been shaped by our inherited trauma, we can lose track of who is threatened and who is threatening...we run the risk of holding Palestinians responsible for the full breadth of our fear and suffering. And we deny...reality" https://t.co/yt7JVnWu6y

[Dove Kent @dove_kent]

"We support our Palestinian siblings' right to describe their lived experiences without being accused of antisemitism...we refuse to be more outraged by the words Palestinians use than the actual violence they endure." https://t.co/f20kpc9qaN

[Dove Kent @dove_kent]

We will not be pitted against each other. I am proud to sign onto this letter with hundreds of other Jewish leaders to say: the fight against antisemitism + the fight for Palestinian human rights are not at odds. We must continue to speak out on both. https://t.co/OYUkduNmmD

If we are going to tell the story of the Tulsa Massacre, we have to tell the story of state violence and state sanctioned violence against Black people. It wasn’t just white mobs - it was the government and state actors that enabled the massacre.

Whenever anyone refers to a country as "she" I am immediately clear that I am going to disagree with whatever comes next.

Nation states are not vulnerable women requiring your protection. Frankly, neither are women.

Last week it was discovered that they are forcibly putting in IUDs into Native kids under 10, this week they discovered 215 bodies of Native kids under a school. These are issues that are person to me and so many of us.

It's so dangerous just being a Native child.

[Yousef Munayyer @YousefMunayyer]

When people turn humanizing Palestinians into antisemitism, they not only enable the continued dehumanization of Palestinians but they also cheapen antisemitism by cynically weaponizing it.

As always, @homeandfreedom helps us see a better way to collective safety.

[April Rosenblum #ThePastDidntGoAnywhere @homeandfreedom]

Many Jews are concerned right now about antisemitic attacks. And, many Jews are highly skeptical of ADL and others’ rhetoric about a “surge” of antisemitism. Putting aside for the moment what the data is & isn’t saying, I want to talk about how Jews’ fears are used. 1/11

These are the faces of the children who had their futures stolen by war and violence over the last weeks. @nytimes is doing important work putting them on its cover, making sure they are not remembered as faceless statistics but as human children.

May their memory be a blessing.

[Dove Kent @dove_kent]

@CarltonCobb A group of students used it in an open letter this week, so unfortunately the tradition is being carried on.

[Dove Kent @dove_kent]

@homeandfreedom A writer compliment from a great writer? I'll take it!

[J Street @jstreetdotorg]

Heart-stopping, heartbreaking cover of today's @nytimes.

May their memories be a blessing -- and a call for all of us to act with urgency and determination to end this horrific cycle of injustice, retaliation and senseless violence.

[Dove Kent @dove_kent]

Really good piece by @emilyctamkin on American Jews fighting Israeli policy and fighting antisemitism. https://t.co/9RoMbWVqkL
