    “ICE is an affront to Torah.” Hundreds of rabbis, cantors, and Jewish leaders turned out to a massive protest outside ICE headquarters in Washington DC. Organized by T'ruah and Bend the Arc, it was the largest-ever Jewish faith protest against ICE. Watch highlights below:

    Replying to @ADL and @elonmusk
    19 year old student says 'Free Palestine' Antisemitic! Musk backs Germany's AfD and antisemitic replacement theories. Buys Twitter so Nazis load at the top. Sieg Heils multiple times. Give him the benefit of the doubt! The @ADL has one job. But @JGreenblattADL can't do it.

    Shabbat shalom to @IlhanMN and our Black & Muslim family. The attacks on you from the President are violent and unconscionable. Our Jewish community has your back. We will not be silent. We will keep fighting for a world where your faith & your leadership are respected.

    ALERT: Kelly Loeffler just posed for a photo with Chester Doles, a former KKK leader who runs the white supremacist American Patriots USA. In 1993, Doles nearly beat a Black man to death. In 2017, he marched in Charlottesville. This is who @KLoeffler is proudly appealing to.
    Image description: A screenshot of a post from Chester Doles, featuring a photo of him and Senator Kelly Loeffler with the caption “Kelly Loeffener and I. Save America, stop Socialism! 61”

    Powerful moment between @AOC & Heather Heyer's mom @SusanBro7 at today's hearing on white supremacy. "I have been given a huge platform…because I’m white. Many Black parents, Muslim parents, Jewish parents lose their children and nobody pays attention." True solidarity.

    It seems as if, the ADL forgot to unfollow us.

    The President of the United States is campaigning for reelection using a Nazi concentration camp symbol. Nazis used the red triangle to mark political prisoners and people who rescued Jews. Trump & the RNC are using it to smear millions of protestors. Their masks are off.

    Forced sterilization is genocide. ICE is performing mass hysterectomies on immigrant women. ICE is committing genocide. It is part of a long history of eugenics and assaults on reproductive freedom in the United States — a system that directly inspired the Nazi regime. (THREAD)

    Shabbat shalom to @IlhanMN for speaking truth to power in the face of violent, racist hate. And to all who have been told to “go back,” to our Muslim & Black & immigrant family, to Jews of color: Our Jewish community is here for you. We won’t be pitted against you. We love you.

    As American Jews, we are proudly disloyal to President Trump and the white nationalism he enables and emboldens. We know exactly who he is and what he stands for — and we reject it. His presidency and his party are marked by bigotry and fascism. We’ll keep fighting against it.

    It’s about time people got to know the real @mattgaetz. You know, the guy who invited a Holocaust denier to the State of the Union. The guy who promotes antisemitic conspiracy theories. Wait…what? Is this guy for real? Watch our new ad targeting Florida swing voters.

    This is a violent & dangerous attack on a sitting Congresswoman because of who she is and what she stands for. It’s white nationalism in action. @IlhanMN won’t back down. And we must loudly have her back and keep supporting the rights & leadership of immigrants in this country.
    An absolutely stunning racist attack on @IlhanMN from Tucker. I'm shocked She is "living proof that the way we practice immigration has become dangerous to this country" She "is a living fire alarm. A warning to the rest of us that we better change our immigration. Or else"

    ISLAMOPHOBIA IS WRONG. That's it. No excuses, no exceptions. Linking all Muslims to terrorism is just as wrong as claiming that Jews control the world. If your response to the attacks on @IlhanMN includes a "But..." take a moment to reflect. We can't condone or excuse bigotry.

    We must remember ALL victims of white supremacist violence. Vickie Lee Jones. Maurice E. Stallard. They were targeted because they were Black. We honor them. We grieve them. May their memories be for a blessing.
    The two victims of Wednesday's shooting at a Kentucky Kroger were black—and the gunman tried to enter a predominantly black church minutes before the attack. nytimes.com/2018/10/25/us/…
