In a press gaggle today, Trump refused to condemn Tucker Carlson for having Nick Fuentes on his show. He went further, refusing to even condemn Fuentes himself. 🚨 Calling all American Jewish leaders and organizations: Tell the president this must stop. Our lives are at stake.

Let’s stay focused. This is the clear and present danger facing Jewish Americans. @lioneltrolling.bsky.social unpacks an emerging coalition that should frighten all Americans. #antisemitism

Our President, Jonathan Jacoby, spoke with @us.theguardian.com about our work protecting Jews and protecting democracy.

Read our interview with @nexusproject.bsky.social National Director Jonathan Jacoby on antismeitism, authoritarianism, democracy, and history. bermanarchive.stanford.edu/democracy-an...

After withdrawing his nomination for another position last month, Trump has reportedly selected Paul Ingrassia (the 30-year-old guy who said he has a “Nazi streak” in him from time to time) to serve as deputy general counsel at the General Services Administration.

Was the ADL right to narrow its mission to focus more on protecting Jews? No, argues our President, Jonathan Jacoby. "You can’t fight hatred in isolation. Hatreds and prejudices are bound up together."

We are deeply concerned by the relaunch of the Oath Keepers, an extremist militia known for racist and antisemitic ideology. The group’s conspiratorial worldview reflects a long pattern of antisemitism fueling authoritarian movements, turning fear into justification for violence.

Our President, Jonathan Jacoby, wrote this to the ADL's Jonathan Greenblatt following the election of New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. "I am deeply worried by the divisive and overheated reactions I’ve seen — from you and from others who speak in our community’s name. …This is not the way.”

This right here 👇🏾

Our National Director, Jonathan Jacoby, is deeply concerned by the divisive and hyperbolic response from some corners of the American Jewish community to the election of Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

The Nexus Project is deeply concerned by the divisive, hyperbolic and aggressive response that we are seeing from some corners of the Jewish community to the election of Zohran Mamdani as the next mayor of New York City. Our full statement: nexusproject.us/press-releas...

I will not take my lessons on what is best for the Jews from Donald Trump.

Donald Trump has no business telling Jewish people how we should vote — and his constant attacks on Jews who don’t align with his politics and ideology are dangerous and appalling.

A must read from @jstreetdotorg.bsky.social's @jeremybenami.bsky.social!

We do not join Jonathan Greenblatt in thanking the Heritage Foundation's President Kevin Roberts for trying to have it both ways. You can’t condemn antisemitism and not condemn those ushering it into the mainstream.

Everyone from Sen. Schumer to Sen. McConnell has called out the Heritage Foundation for bending a knee to Jew hate. This has nothing to do with political affiliations. This is about telling Heritage it is not OK to normalize and legitimize white supremacy, Holocaust denial, antisemitism and hatred.

Today, the Heritage Foundation announced it's comfortable with Holocaust denial. That is not hyperbole. The same group behind “Project Esther” is refusing to distance itself from Jew hater and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson (who hosted said Jew hater on his show this week).

THREAD: This week, Tucker Carlson hosted one of the most dangerous antisemites in America. Nick Fuentes leads the “Groyper” movement, a large online hate network devoted to building a white Christian nationalist America. It marks a serious escalation in how antisemitism reaches the mainstream.

"Jonathan Jacoby, the president of the Nexus project, which seeks to combat antisemitism while mitigating its weaponization, said Trump had the Jewish community in his sights."

As figures like Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson gain more influence, this rhetoric is more dangerous than ever. Conspiracy theories that allege disproportionate Jewish control over foreign affairs are antisemitism.

Proud to be included in @interfaithalliance.org's important new resource on responding to antisemitism as interfaith coalitions!

Today, we're launching a new resource to equip interfaith coalitions with helpful tools for recognizing and addressing antisemitism, featuring @bendthearc.bsky.social, @truahrabbis.bsky.social, @thejcpa.bsky.social, @nexusproject.bsky.social, @splcenter.org and more.

Enough trolling and making light of antisemitism. This past month alone saw a swastika flag appear in Rep. Dave Taylor's office, Young Republican Club members making gas chamber jokes, and an actual nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel saying he has a "Nazi streak" in him.

“Giving Netanyahu and his far-right allies carte blanche to do what they like in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank does not protect Jews, it makes them less safe,” explain @dovwaxman.bsky.social & @jstreetdotorg.bsky.social’s @jeremybenami.bsky.social.

Today marks 7 years since 11 Jews were murdered in an unspeakable act of antisemitism at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh. May their memories be a blessing. And may those who were wounded and whose hearts were broken continue to heal.

Succession predicted the rise of pro-Nazi politicians in 2025 🇺🇲

A Dem. Senate candidate was caught with a chest tattoo resembling a Nazi symbol. He claims he got it while drunk without knowing its meaning. He also apologized for racist posts. “I didn’t know” isn’t enough. Real accountability means showing how he’s learned and what he’s doing to confront hate.

To state the obvious, someone with a self-admitted "Nazi streak" has no place in the U.S. government.

"Despite last year's efforts to claim that the slogan 'Free, free Palestine' was a license to kill, research in political extremism has proven that attempts to demonize or even outlaw slogans only strengthens the resolve and often the resources of hateful communities," explains Rabbi Seth Limmer.

Border Patrol posted a video with antisemitic slurs to their Instagram. The 13-second video used the lyrics "Jew me, sue me" and "kike me" from Michael Jackson's 'They Don't Care About Us.' They pinned it. It got 3.4 million views.

Urgently needed--A blueprint by the @nexusproject.bsky.social to combat the weaponization of antisemtism. "For Nexus, democracy and Jewish safety are inseparable, and protecting democracy is a foundational strategy for combating antisemitism."

“Project Esther was not a strategy for fighting antisemitism,” Jonathan Jacoby, the Nexus Project’s president, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in an interview. “Project Esther is the Heritage Foundation’s tool for implementing Project 2025.”

This looks useful.

We would hope this goes without saying, but it's outrageous that a swastika is hanging in a congressional office.

Too many leaders from the same party claim to be champions of Jewish safety all while ignoring vile antisemitism under their roof. When we say that fighting the weaponization of antisemitism is critical to stopping antisemitism, this is exactly what we mean.

The Shofar Report by the @nexusproject.bsky.social aims to combat antisemitism in a new way—by connecting the fight for democracy with the fight for Jewish safety: forward.com/news/antisem...

A crucial, timely report on the weaponization of antisemitism. @itamann.bsky.social and I contributed an essay exploring its legal dimensions, reflecting on Jewish plurality and the knotty relationship between Jewish and Israeli identities. Grateful for @emilyctamkin.bsky.social brilliant guidance.

I'm proud to have contributed a short essay, co-authored with @jeremybenami.bsky.social, to this much-needed report by @nexusproject.bsky.social. I hope you'll read it and share it.

Really glad to see this much needed report. The Nexus Project is the moral voice we need against antisemitism and for democratic pluralism, at a time when too many other organizations have abdicated that role.

Proud to have played a part in The Shofar Report, @nexusproject.bsky.social's response to Project Esther, the Trump administration, and the idea that Jews should abandon liberal democracy. You can read about it in this thoughtful @arnorosenfeld.bsky.social write up 1/? forward.com/news/antisem...

“the Trump administration’s moves to deport student protesters and cancel grants to universities accused of antisemitism are endangering Jews by weakening American democracy”

This just in: Today, we’re releasing our response to the weaponization of antisemitism by the Trump administration and Project Esther. The Shofar Report is a new blueprint for combating antisemitism while defending democracy.

The Trump administration is suggesting that Jewish groups critical of its foreign policy vis a vis Israel are engaging in terrorism. This is appalling politicization of the term and gross executive overreach.

This hateful antisemitic vandalism in Minneapolis is alarming and unacceptable. Targeting synagogues with anti-Zionist/anti-Israel slogans isn’t political activism — it’s harassing and threatening Jewish communities.

We are doing an AMA (Q&A) on Reddit today! If you ever wanted to ask us anything, you can do so on this post. We'll respond live at 7 ET/4 PST. We are looking forward to hearing form you!

The health secretary, who has mused that COVID was designed to spare Ashkenazi Jews, is now alleging that a tradition practiced by Jews is linked to autism. x.com/factpostnews...

The Nexus Project welcomes the announcement of a ceasefire and hostage release agreement between Israel and Hamas.

As we have said before and will continue to repeat: This is the authoritarian playbook. This is an effort to cast those who fight hate as enemies of the state. We will not remain silent when government power is weaponized against civil society organizations.

This week, FBI director Kash Patel cut the FBI’s ties with the ADL, calling them an “extreme group functioning like a terrorist organization.” This is the authoritarian playbook: delegitimize watchdogs, invert reality, and cast those who fight hate as enemies of the state.

The Nexus Project condemns the deadly terrorist attack at Manchester's Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation during Yom Kippur services. Our hearts are with the victims, their families, and the entire Jewish community. We stand with them in solidarity in the face of hate and tragedy.
