The Office for Civil Rights (aka OCR) within the Department of Education has been essential in addressing discrimination faced by Jewish students and other marginalized groups. Despite this, the Trump administration effectively gutted the entire agency.

Disagreements over camp programming are common and should be heard. Many campers do so. However, threatening a Jewish organization's accreditation over political views is misguided and sets a dangerous precedent.

"Musk’s brand of White genocide conspiracy theory nonsense was once found only in the darkest corners of the internet. Now he has mainstreamed it, and he’s pulling people down a rabbit hole that can lead to horrifically bad places." - @rexhuppke.bsky.social

This is reprehensible coming from anyone, let alone a member of the United States Congress. We remain disgusted by Congressman Fine’s persistent and rampant anti-Muslim racism. We call on all American Jewish leaders to speak out.

Rep. Balint to AG Bondi: "Talking about antisemitism to a woman who lost her grandfather in the Holocaust?" This is a clear-cut and frankly disgusting weaponization of antisemitism from AG Bondi.

THREAD: Occupy Democrats posted about "Jewish billionaire Les Wexner" in the Epstein files. It looks small. It's not. (h/t @joelhs.bsky.social)

Hundreds of rabbis, cantors, and Jewish leaders are gathered outside of ICE HQs in Washington, DC today at the largest protest against ICE by Jewish clergy and leaders, organized by our friends @bendthearc.bsky.social and @truahrabbis.bsky.social.

This isn't about Zionism or anti-Zionism. This is about antisemitism. There is no excuse for a swastika on a synagogue. That's antisemitic, plain and simple.

We can and should have nuanced and difficult conversations around antisemitism, anti-Zionism, and Israel today. But there are some things that should not be controversial. Candace Owens — who has spread age-old antisemitic conspiracy theories — is not just an "anti-Zionist." She's an antisemite.

Every anti-Jewish hate crime is unacceptable. But was January 2026 a particularly high month for anti-Jewish hate crimes in NYC? Not really. But longer-term trends are more sobering. @aryeh-tuchman.bsky.social, Director of the Nexus Center for Antisemitism Research (NCAR), unpacks the data:

"Senator Cassidy’s letter asks Mayor Mamdani many questions, but here is one question the senator must answer himself: What tangible action has he taken—beyond letters and press releases—to make Jewish Americans safer?" - @sikevin99.bsky.social, our VP of Government Relations & Washington Director

This thread really deserves your attention and I would say is best read as a unit. Not going to RS the individual posts, because they contain disturbing current antisemitic propaganda that I don't want to spread without the full context.

Wonderful news from NYC: We are thrilled to hear that @mayor.nyc.gov has selected @phylisawisdom.bsky.social to lead the Mayor’s Office to Combat Antisemitism!

THREAD 🧵: The Epstein files are real. The antisemitism they're fueling is also real. And right now, the second part is getting almost no attention.

🧵 We are the Nexus Project, an advocacy organization fighting both antisemitism and the weaponization of the Jewish community's very real fears for political gain.

Xenophobia and antisemitism are intimately interwoven. Sometimes that's true in subtle ways and sometimes in obvious ones. See here:

Really cool to see @nexusproject.bsky.social bringing Aryeh Tuchman on board to build out this project.

We are grateful that no one was hurt when a car repeatedly rammed into Chabad's headquarters in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Whether a specific incident is antisemitic or not, it is horrific to attack a Jewish institution, especially with innocent people and children nearby.

Research Moves: @nexusproject.bsky.social is building out a new Antismetism Research Center and has tapped Aryeh Tuchman, the ADL’s longtime researcher, to lead the effort. 👀 www.jta.org/2026/01/29/u...

NEW: Today, we’re excited to announce the creation of the Nexus Center for Antisemitism Research (NCAR), which will work to improve the quality of research, data, and analysis available to advance the broader mission of confronting hate and promoting Jewish safety.

If we're looking for examples that actually write Jews (and also history itself) out of the story

Which lives were lost, JD?

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, and every day, we honor the sacred memory of the six million Jews and millions of other victims murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators during the Holocaust.

May the memory of Alex Pretti be a blessing. Alex was just 37 years old and dedicated his life to caring for those in need, including as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis Veteran Affairs Health Care System and while showing up for his neighbor in Minneapolis on Saturday. Alex should be alive today.

Baruch Dayan HaEmet. Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse at the VA, should still be alive right now. Federal officials are working as quickly as possible to spread a false narrative here, just like they did with Renee Good. 1/2

We condemn this act of antisemitic vandalism. Given that the suspects were 15 year olds, we also think it shows the importance of robust education in pushing back against antisemitism.

We are dismayed by the attacks on Ms. Rachel this week. They are misguided and harm the fight against antisemitism.

Rabbi Tamar Magill-Grimm is Senior Rabbi at Beth Jacob Congregation. Standing alongside her fellow Minnesota clergy, Rabbi Tamar announced that her congregation will take part in a statewide day of fasting and non-violent moral action to call for an immediate end to ICE’s operations in Minnesota.

Make no mistake, this is just another example of American Jews being offered a false choice between safety and democracy. Don't fall for it. The safety of American Jews is inherently tied to the health and safety of our democracy, a democracy that has been built from the ground up by immigrants.

The Trump administration is reportedly looking into establishing a totally fabricated connection between Renee Nicole Good and George Soros. To understand why, all we need to do is look at what happened in Hungary, explains @emilyctamkin.bsky.social:

Over the weekend, videos went around showing Nick Fuentes, Andrew Tate, and other far-right and “manosphere” figures singing and partying in a Miami Beach nightclub to Kanye West's unquestionably antisemitic song, “Heil Hitler.” They were also filmed throwing up Nazi salutes.

As Jewish Americans, we are deeply concerned about the Trump administration's use of Nazi-era rhetoric. The glorification of Hitler's propaganda needs to stop before it's too late.

"My problem with Trump is not that he's Hitler. My problem with Trump is that he is not Hitler." -Nick Fuentes If you or your organization supports, co-signs, or embraces Nick Fuentes in any way, THIS is what you are supporting. (Ahem, Heritage Foundation)

And this isn't even the first time they've asked for lists of Jews (in the false name of Jewish safety). bsky.app/profile/bend...

One of the country's most popular podcasters, Theo Von, hosted fellow podcast bro and comedian Dave Smith on his podcast last week. They called Nick Fuentes "brilliant," "hilarious," and "f*cking brave." Smith promoted the Great Replacement theory. Von said "some of those N-word clips go hard."

Once again, we do not believe that turning over "lists of Jews" is ever helpful to the fight against antisemitism.

The main fundraiser for the ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good was created by a self-described "White Independent Journalist" with a history of antisemitic online behavior.

I love good news.

GOOD RIDDANCE

At best, this is a slogan that pits communities against one another, threatening our democracy. At worst, it's a Nazi slogan.

Heart breaking beyond words 😢 The same synagogue in Jackson, Mississippi - the only one in the city - that was bombed by the KKK in the 1967, was this Shabbos again targeted in an arson attack. Unjustifiable.

That someone carried out an arson attack against Mississippi's largest synagogue is both heartbreaking and outrageous. American Jews deserve what every American deserves: to not fear in or for our sacred spaces.

Gov. Murphy made the right call. The IHRA definition describes itself as non-legally binding. Its own author opposes codifying it into law. Yet for years, some Jewish organizations have poured political capital into state-level IHRA fights that divide coalitions & produce little beyond controversy.

Mayor Mamdani got it right. Chanting support for Hamas outside a synagogue in a Jewish neighborhood is dangerous and wrong. We're grateful he said so clearly. Fighting for Jewish safety means naming threats when they happen, whoever is responsible.

There is a difference between protesting against Jewish settlements in the West Bank vs. calling for violence outside of a synagogue, which happened again last night in New York City, this time in Kew Gardens, Queens.

A must-read by @sikevin99.bsky.social at @nexusproject.bsky.social. “Antisemitism is a serious danger to Jews and to the social fabric, and we’re not going to defeat it with definitions or by arguing over them.” blogs.timesofisrael.com/here-we-go-a...

No matter the organization you target, throwing gold coins, Nazi salutes, and invoking the Great Replacement theory is blatant antisemitism. No other way to spin it. This is someone running for a Senate seat in Florida. We deserve better. The bare minimum is leaders who aren't clear antisemites.

The guardrails against this sort of thing have just completely disappeared. And that is rather frightening.

The U.S. attack on Venezuela has led to a surge in antisemitic rhetoric online, as we’ve seen waves of antisemitism after most major news stories for years. What separates this is not the occurrence, but the incredibly high engagement we're seeing online. Take this post with nearly 2 million views:

"Here I am, once again, explaining why codifying a contested definition into law was always a bad idea—not because antisemitism isn’t real, but because there isn’t consensus on a single definition, and the definition some groups keep trying to enshrine has serious problems." @sikevin99.bsky.social
