@ajcglobal.bsky.social says recognizing a Palestinian state "sends a dangerous signal that terrorism, mass murder, rape, torture, and kidnapping" are acceptable

At Federalist Society event this morning, Education Sec. Linda McMahon says it would be "premature" to say there's any "definite correlation" between what the moderator referred to as the "transgender movement" and campus shootings

I'm proud of @forward.com's coverage of the Charlie Kirk assassination and will thread a few of the follow-ups we have published so far on the national news story. From @benyamincohen.bsky.social on perceptions of Kirk as a "martyr" and that debate's Jewish implications: forward.com/news/769333/...

The Dept. of Education has pulled funding for programs in 8 states that support students with both hearing and vision loss. A staffer at one program says he was told the Trump admin. took issue with 2 words on the grant application: “transition" and “privilege": www.propublica.org/article/trum...

The baseless claim that Mossad murdered Charlie Kirk is really about a battle over his legacy between pro-Israel conservatives and the Groypers whose influence was increasingly eclipsing Kirk's Turning Points USA crowd forward.com/news/antisem...

I wrote my newsletter yesterday (before Kirk’s death) about how American Jews have lost our shared reality and I can’t think of a better illustration than this headline from Jewish Insider

The ADL has a new survey claiming: "Widespread Antisemitism and Anti-Israel Bias Reported by Faculty in Higher Education." But it's basically a survey of faculty who already belong to a pro-Israel advocacy group. www.adl.org/resources/re...

New @reformjudaism.bsky.social post about the war in Gaza calls it of "increasingly dubious legitimacy"

The problem is that the assertion here is wrong — Twitter still has lots of normie users and even many progressives, politicians from across the spectrum, most major companies, etc. You just have to wade through a bunch of neo-Nazis to use the platform.

I do think there's a problem with insularity and lack of reach on Bluesky so I've been trying to cross-post articles to Twitter but it genuinely feels like a majority of my interactions on there are just... people being openly antisemitic

The government said it had turned over more than one million pages of evidence to the defense, plus the contents of an iPhone. forward.com/news/766570/...

What could this possibly mean? Like obviously many Americans are eating no hamburgers a day so is 10% of the country just housing like 10-15 on the daily?

Glenn Greenwald is over on Twitter referring to the @forward.com as "one of the most pro-Israel Jewish outlets in America," which is just strange — we're actually one of the few Jewish outlets in the U.S. without an overt political stance.

The Department of Justice hired a former Jan. 6 defendant who was caught on tape urging rioters to "kill" police. The department calls him a "valued member" of the administration.

Uber received 400,000 reports of sexual assault and misconduct between 2017-2022, 33x more than the company publicly diclosed www.nytimes.com/2025/08/06/b...

After the FBI reports 106 more hate crimes against U.S. Jews in 2024 than 2023 (+5.8%), @ajcglobal.bsky.social declares "Antisemitism Has Become Part of American Jews’ Daily Life." The AJC's own 2024 data shows <5% of Jews in the U.S. reported experiencing an incident that could be a hate crime.

NEW: Senior UCLA and University of California officials say they will negotiate with the Trump administration over lifting $339 million in medical and science grant freezes. No decision has been made about terms of an agreement, including a potential fine www.latimes.com/california/s...

Between Musk & the Trump administration, Media Matters has been squeezed to the brink. In settlement discussions, lawyers for X demanded the organization hand over all its cash and shut down — all because MM reported ads appeared on X next to antisemitic content. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/25/u...

Josh Weinberg, @reformjudaism.bsky.social's VP for Israel, says the despite "unspeakable starvation and senseless killing" in Gaza, people should not use the term "genocide" and instead "put ourselves in the place of hostage family members." arza.org/a-hard-recko...

Days before it was announced, Trump's own antisemitism task force chair tweeted "NO DEALS!" and the final settlement falls short of what some pro-Israel students were calling for. forward.com/news/antisem...

This dynamic played out with SJP, which used to be far more moderate — that didn't really win them any brownie points, and they became increasingly radical. forward.com/news/574014/...
