@nexusproject.bsky.social's Jonathan Jacoby joins The State of Belief this week for an in-depth conversation on confronting antisemitism — and its weaponization.

Glad to show up on @contrariannews.org

I'm feeling the Disney protests are very very real. I have two kids and I've left Disney + and I'm not going back. This is a moment. Be a part of it. You are invited and needed at this free speech movement

Librarians are at a tipping point, explains @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social's President, @samhelmick.bsky.social. Listen to the full episode here: stateofbelief.com/2025/septemb...

Exactly this

This is what has to happen. No talent, no audience, no network.

When they suppress freedom of speech, freedom of religion is next.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

We agree. Proud to be joined by @aft.org's @rweingarten.bsky.social and Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum this week!

We are ALL IN. Join the #NoKings October kick-off call on Thursday @ 8pm ET!

" @raushenbush.bsky.social, a Baptist minister and president and CEO of Interfaith Alliance, said the strategy to struggle against the push toward authoritarian Christian nationalism is 'countering with love, countering with stories about one another.'"

ALA President @samhelmick.bsky.social and @raushenbush.bsky.social explore freedom, faith, libraries, and #LibraryCardSignUpMonth on the State of Belief podcast. An inspiring conversation. Listen ➡️ https://religionnews.com/2025/09/13/libraries-and-religious-freedom-with-ala-president-sam-helmick/

One of my favorite conversations I've had on The State of Belief - Sam is a wonderful person and I'm glad for all the partnership with the ALA and celebrating #librarycardsignupmonth

No consequences for this inhumanity?

Rarely does this regime give such a compliment to the folks fighting back. Please work to make this courage contagious: nokings.org

going from "transgender ideology" to "look at the poor misguided white kid" without even taking a breath, unconscionable

Well now I know what a Groyper is.

There are many politicians, pundits and publications that need to repent of the reckless and harmful way they have acted over the past two days. I hope newsrooms are having serious conversations about ethics and responsibility. Politicians should be called out and pundits questioned.

"Antisemitism in schools is serious... Unfortunately Congress and this administration are taking a dangerous and wrong-headed approach that subordinates the needs of Jewish students to a political agenda." - @rabbijilljacobs.bsky.social, CEO of @truahrabbis.bsky.social

This is how you do it

Hey everybody read this line of questioning

“You can already pray in school. What they’re suggesting and what they’re promoting is uniform prayer that actually represents one tradition over other traditions — and that’s what we need to object to." -Rev. @raushenbush.bsky.social

Baptist minister and Interfaith Alliance President & CEO, Reverend @raushenbush.bsky.social, sounds the alarm on Trump’s impending guidance to “protect” prayer in public schools 🚨🙏

“The most pressing threat to religious liberty in our country today is the Trump administration itself. Religious Americans don’t need their protection – we need protection from their attacks." -Rev. @raushenbush.bsky.social

This leading @wsj.com - confirmed, with Trump's signature.

We need to make this clear - participation in this crazy war on Americas own people is wrong and an abrogation of duty.

"We know that whatever comes, we will have to be organized and we will have to stand together as a nation." Keya Chatterjee on The State of Belief

The bells of The Foundry Church rang in solidarity with the people protest in DC creating a profound moment for all - this is how religion must show up. H/T Robert Weissman

Amazing

The goodwill Trump has squandered will likely never return.

This @washingtonpost.com editorial doesn’t make it past the second paragraph without a glaring (and telling) factual error. President Washington didn’t create the War Department in 1789; *Congress* did: www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/...

Juvenile

This feels exactly right - smaller and meaner and corrupt to the core

Sorry Timmy, we can’t afford to treat your mom’s cancer because we diverted the funds to print new letterheads for Pete Hegseth

Annoying white ladies (and I count myself among that group): We have been training our whole lives for this.

I've been trying to figure RFK out, and now i get it. He's a sadistic boy pulling the wings off of flies, and we're the flies

Epstein survivor on Epstein: "His biggest brag forever was that he was very good friends with Donald Trump."

This 🧵

Another journalism failure

I am so happy about this!!!!

It seems like every news outlet took the white house at its word that Trump was golfing - but we didn't see that, only a brief photo of him going to golf. So, why not say that. Is is all AI? Or just cut and paste?

"...aimed at projecting an alternative to U.S. global leadership" Trump did this www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/w...

Remember when people used the term "false equivalency"?

"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:

MAGA

The US Administration has decided to destroy a top network for clinical trials to test new treatments for children with brain cancer. This is another atrocity that will harm Conservative and Liberal Americans, long after the politicians responsible are gone.

Thank you Jack / totally 100% correct.
