Congratulations to @Marie4Congress in her victory tonight and her fight for Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, reproductive rights, progressive foreign policy, justice reform, and ending skyrocketing inequality. The bloc of mission-driven progressives is growing in Congress.

Dear members of the @GOP : Pivoting to the love affair between Netanyahu and Trump when confronted about the lethal antisemitism in your party is not only extraordinarily transparent deflection, it’s also deeply *antisemitic* Nice try though! #JewsVsGOP

It has been such an honor to support @AlexBMorse for Congress. So many young people in @IfNotNowOrg saw themselves in his story - a queer from an interfaith family whose only Jewish engagement was Birthright. This generation is bout to make the Jewish community so much better.

It is *almost* laughable how the Jewish establishment jumps at every opportunity to prove how out of touch they are with the majority of American Jews. IMAGINE watching a white nationalist mob wearing Camp Auschwitz shirts take over the Capitol and then writing this letter?

Over the next decade, the Jewish left should prioritize electing Jewish reps who will argue that Jewish values compel them to hold Israel accountable for human rights violations, instead of weaponizing Jewish identity to demonize their progressive colleagues.

. @realDonaldTrump : The fight against antisemitism will insinuate that American Jews aren’t American and criminalize free speech. 👎🏻 for the Jews. @BernieSanders : The fight against antisemitism is inextricably connected to the fight for Palestinian freedom. 👍🏻 for the Jews.

. @BernieSanders makes clear that he would use the 3.8 billion dollars the US gives every year to ensure human rights. This is a clear distinction between Bernie and the other presidential candidates who want to pretend that a human rights crisis isn’t already happening. #JSt2019

Does Israel have the right to be a permanent occupier, without granting Palestinians any civil rights? Does Israel’s existence necessitate ongoing dispossession and displacement of the Palestinians? My generation wants answers to these questions.

Along with so many others, @BernieSanders is leading the way. We have a historic opportunity ahead: to make maintaining the occupation as costly as it is for Palestinians who live under it. They will paint us as antisemites and self-hating Jews. But I believe that we will win.

But in order to change US support for the occupation, we can’t only challenge the policies; we must totally undermine the rationale. We need a movement of Jews rejecting the notion that our safety is dependent on the oppression of others.
