Hasan Piker’s dangerous and hateful language targeting Jewish Americans has no place in our civic discourse. Suggesting that Jewish Americans bear responsibility for hatred or violence directed against them is wrong, dangerous, and antisemitic.

We can, and should, argue fiercely over policy. We should have meaningful dialogue and debate about the policies and actions of the Israeli government and American foreign policy. That is the lifeblood of democracy. But that’s not what this is.

No American should be told that their political beliefs make them responsible for hatred or violence directed against them. There is a bright line between vigorous debate and rhetoric that stokes hatred toward our neighbors. Mr. Piker has crossed that line, repeatedly and unmistakably.

Thanks Donald Trump for allowing the rest of the world to mock our football team because you couldn’t stop ruining everything you stick your nose into.

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

As a fan, I am obviously overjoyed that Balogun will get to play and that this injustice was corrected. But man does this look awful for FIFA and it will make the rest of the world feel like the tournament was rigged.

A synagogue was fire bombed. Someone tried to kill a Jewish governor. An attempted bombing yesterday. A guy threw Molotov cocktails at a group of Jews. Jews attacked on campus, or blocked from going to class.

This is all just run of the mill KKK stuff.

Barack Obama reached a deal that prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

Trump ripped up that deal.

Now we are at war with Iran to prevent it from getting a nuclear weapon.

@HenMazzig One can oppose the regime and oppose war.

Hey so marching into a predominantly Jewish neighborhood and leading with a chant saying “we support Hamas” is a disgusting and antisemitic thing to do.

Pretty basic!

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

I said last week that, despite my profound concerns about this @POTUS, I'd praise him if his efforts helped free the Israeli hostages and bring a ceasefire.
Everyone, regardless, of politics should welcome today's developments, and hope that a just and lasting peace follows.

As a Palestinian who refuses to parrot our leadership’s lies, I have to say it bluntly: Telling Mizrahi Jews - Jews from Iraq, Yemen, Egypt, Morocco, Syria, and the rest of the Arab world, that they are doing “ethnic cleansing” to us is the gaslight of the century.

Let’s start with facts. Mizrahi Jews didn’t “come from Europe.” They lived in the Middle East for thousands of years, long before Islam, long before Arab conquest, long before any modern state. Their ancestors spoke the same ancient Hebrew mentioned in the Qur’an’s stories, they prayed facing Jerusalem, and their communities in Babylon, Damascus, and Sana’a existed for over 2,500 years. They are as indigenous to this region as the olive trees, as native to the Middle East as we are.

When Arab states turned against them in the 20th century, after Israel was established, they were ethnically cleansed: homes looted, businesses seized, citizenship revoked, synagogues burned, people lynched. Nearly a million Jews were expelled from Arab lands. Most fled to Israel with nothing.

And now, decades later, our leadership dares to call them the colonizers? The same families who were driven from Baghdad, Aleppo, and Tripoli - who rebuilt their lives from refugee camps in Israel, are accused of committing the same crime that was done to them. That’s not just hypocrisy; it’s historical amnesia.

If we truly want justice, we have to stop gaslighting our neighbors and start acknowledging that their story is Middle Eastern too.
Our liberation won’t come from denying theirs.

What if we gave teachers $50k signing bonuses, $100k salaries, and $60k in student loan forgiveness.

You know, the same as ICE gets.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Buying and controlling media platforms.

Firing commentators.

Canceling shows.

These aren’t coincidences.

It’s coordinated. And it’s dangerous.

The @GOP does not believe in free speech.

They are censoring you in real time.

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

Trump’s decision to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal just because he hated Obama was obviously a huge mistake at the time and has metastasized into this disaster

This is a March 2020 moment and the virus is named Donald Trump

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

I love my country with all my heart and I've never been more embarrassed for America than the spectacle I just witnessed in the Oval Office.
Zelensky is fighting for the survival of his country, his people and their democracy.
Trump and Vance appear to be completely aligned with Putin, the invader whose aim has been to conquer Ukraine.
Zelensky should know that millions and millions of Americans still stand with him and his valiant people.

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

He who declares himself the nation's "savior," and proclaims himself and his followers as somehow above the law, is essentially nullifying the Constitution in letter and spirit. The men who wrote it would be appalled.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Dictators in History:

- Hitler – “The good of the state stands above the law.”
- Mussolini – “Everything within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.”
- Napoleon Bonaparte – “I am the revolution.”
- Francisco Franco – “I am responsible only to God and to history.”

Trump:
"He who saves his country does not violate any law"

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Spoken like a true dictator.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

The Pentagon just announced that it would double the number of news organizations removed from physical offices to make room for MAGA propaganda media outlets.

OUT: The New York Times, Politico, NPR, The Washington Post, CNN, NBC, The Hill, The War Zone

IN: Breitbart, The New York Post, The Washington Examiner, OAN, Newsmax, HuffPost, The Free Press, The Daily Caller

They’re establishing state-run media, just as totalitarian regimes do.
