    Hey US media folks, here, I would argue immodestly, is how you interview a Trump supporter on Trump's lies:

    Right-Wing Extremism Is Still the Biggest Threat to National Security. Report from the Anti-Defamation League show extreme violence up to 50 killings from 37 the year before. And all of those attacks, per the ADL, were committed by right-wing extremists.

  3. Solidarity, and thoughts and prayers, with all my Jewish friends and cousins under attack right now - and mourning right now. Horrific.

  4. And, in not-so-coded and only a tad milder language, a similar accusation leveled by some on the Republican right and Fox News - globalists/Soros bringing Mexicans/Middle Easterners into the US to change the culture and demographics.

  5. “Muslims and Jews Face A Common Threat From White Supremacists. We Must Fight It Together.” It is deeply depressing to be reposting this recent piece by me and ⁦

    Shooter repeatedly says that Brenton Tarrant was his inspiration. Hope people realize that political differences aside we can't separate Islamophobia, anti-Semitism and other forms of hatred against minorities from one another.

    Not going to post the link but this is the relevant passage. Overall the same highly disturbing mix of seething hatred, 8Chan irony and pseudo-historical grievance:

    The local NBC affiliate says the 19-year-old shooter at the Poway synagogue posted a manifesto also claiming responsibility "for an Escondido Mosque arson a week prior." Anti-semitism & anti-Muslim hatred often have common roots

    This is why boycotts work “According to the suit, the NRA “spent substantial sums on NRATV based on AMC’s [Ackerman McQueen’s] advice” that the programming would result in an influx of cash from fans and sponsors. But that apparently didn’t happen.” 💅🤣

    Places of worship are increasingly becoming targets of attacks. We should call them what they are, acts of terror. Especially today on the last day of Passover. My heart and prayers go out to the victims of the attack, and their families.

    Every attack on a synagogue, church, mosque, any house of worship is an attack on us all, regardless of how we do or don’t pray, because hate and bigotry threaten us all. It sounds naive and too simple but that’s how it is. Hate threatens our humanity. Zero tolerance.

    The suspect the police have arrested in the San Diego synagogue shooting is a 19-year-old white male. An adult woman has died, while a young girl and two adult men have been injured.

    Here’s a thread I did at the beginning of Passover. It lasts 8 days and ended today, which is what these poor people would have been celebrating in synagogue

    Please please stop killing worshipers 😢 Like many Jews around the world I was at synagogue with my family this morning for the sabbath and end of Passover. Like in Christchurch, Sri Lanka, these poor people were just going about their lives. Please stop this!
