A Jew and a Muslim walk into a bar in Detroit on November 4. The bartender says, "What are you drinking, senators?"
Well, someone had to make this meme, and that someone turned out to be me. Shabbat Shalom!!
🧵 Yesterday, on Tisha B'Av, a visibly Jewish man was stabbed outside a synagogue on the Upper West Side of NYC. An Asian man was stabbed two blocks away by the same assailant minutes earlier. We are sending prayers for refuah shleimah to both of the victims of this disturbing attack.
Yet another young Republican group is at the center of an antisemitism scandal this week. The Nexus Project's Ella Messler breaks it all down.
NEW POLL OF JEWISH VOTERS: Six months to Election Day, Jewish voters continue to strongly support Democrats and sharply reject President Trump. Read the full release and see the poll results:
Six Months Before Election Day, Jewish Voters Continue to Strongly Support Democrats, Sharply Reject President Trump
A new national poll of Jewish voters, conducted six months before the midterm elections, found that Jewish voters will overwhelmingly vote for Democrats in the midterm elections.

@mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social swung a Republican-held state Senate seat by 20 points, and has helped secure victories for abortion access, workers' rights, gun violence prevention, and affordable housing in Michigan. She shares our values, and she has what it takes to defeat Mike Rogers.
Is it the official policy of the US Dept. of Homeland Security that no Jews serve there? If not, who is the “we” defined by belief in Jesus Christ as savior? Or does the “our” refer to the Americans whose security the Department has a duty to protect, none of whom are apparently Jews?
Leave aside the obvious "wait, he was still a Dem?". What does "most anti-Israel party in U.S. history" mean? There have been only two major parties in the United States since Israel was founded! Glass half full: Dersh thinks Dems are the 2nd most pro-Israel party in U.S. history!

It’s appalling that the Vice President of the United States is flying off to campaign for Viktor Orban – an unapologetic ethno-nationalist who has consistently trafficked in antisemitic tropes and authoritarian repression.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 5mo agoA scheduled visit by JD Vance makes clear that Russia is not the only country invested in a victory for Hungary’s leader, Viktor Orban.
This week, Trump referred to the American Jewish community as "Israel." This is just the latest episode in Trump's long history of invoking the antisemitic dual loyalty trope, and indeed fully conflating American Jews with Israel, while complaining about how Jewish people vote.
Once again, Donald Trump questions the loyalty of more than 70% of Jewish Americans who rejected him in 2016, 2020, and 2024, and are preparing to reject him & hold his GOP enablers accountable in November. We're not buying his depraved bullshit, including on Iran.
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 5mo agoTrump: Obama chose Iran over Israel. How Israel can vote for a Democrat—if you're jewish in New York City or any place else in this country, and how you can vote for a Democrat is unbelievable
Well, I wrote this four years ago (check out the post pinned to my profile) and while it's aged, I would not call it super cringe.

You may be inclined to amplify Joe Kent right now because of concerns over the Iran war. Don’t. He’s an extremist with deep ties to Nazi sympathizers and Holocaust deniers who never should have been in this role in the first place (sadly one of many in this administration). 1/
Y'know, Amiwala at least has the excuse of being the *first* to falsely claim you could submit our poll multiple times, so she did so before I put a correction out last night. Laura Fine has no such excuse. She is actively lying about the quality control and validity of our polls.
Laura Fine@laurafine.bsky.social · 5mo agoDon’t ride the pollercoaster.
IL-09 POLL: In the 2nd @evanstonroundtable.bsky.social/PPP primary poll, Daniel Biss is unmoved at 24% and Kat Abughazaleh has jumped to 20%, narrowing the gap to 4%. Laura Fine falls to 14%, Mike Simmons up to 10%. Undecideds still sizable at 17%. Polled March 9-10, MOE 3.6%. See below for more!
It is critical that we have a robust debate about the U.S.-Israel war with Iran. And it is also critical that this debate not be marred by antisemitism — or by weaponized false accusations of antisemitism. Let’s talk about what’s happening on the ground and how we’re talking about the war. 🧵
I find it odd that a son of an Israeli and grandson of a holocaust survivor is who the pro Israel pac is fighting against. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/u...
Once a Bipartisan Stalwart, AIPAC Turns ‘Toxic’ in the Illinois Primaries

Literally every country involved in this stupid war has a government I’d love to see removed from power, and for none of them is the right way to do it military action by the other two.
On Purim, we read the story of Esther, who, at her cousin Mordecai's bidding, used her position of favor with the king to save Jews from a plot by the king's evil advisor, Haman, to kill them all. 1/

AIPAC’s cash complicates crowded Illinois primaries
The more than $1 million in outside spending could prompt a familiar outcome for those who followed the NJ-11 primary earlier this year.

So Trump, and not the "anonymous staffer," actually did post the Obamas/apes video?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6mo agoQ: The president just said on Truth Social it would be a 'big mistake' for UK to hold over control of Diego Garcia, but the State Dept said the US supports that handover LEAVITT: The post should be taken as administration policy. When you see it on TS, you know it's directly from President Trump.
This is the ad that Fox News does NOT want you to see. Fox News rejected our newest ad, which demonstrates that Trump has “gone too far” with ICE. But we will not remain silent in the face of these attacks. Share our ad and follow @usjewishdems.bsky.social to join us in the fight.

I'm not one to boost content from Bari Weiss' The Free Press, but today FP posted a *wild* interview which they think makes Mamdani look bad but inadvertently exposes just how extreme and warped some of the "mainstream" Jewish world has become on issues of Israel and antisemitism. 1/9
