I’m just getting onto Twitter in any real way today. My free time has been consumed by yet another attempt by white nationalists to intimidate the residents of Portland. But story was all over my feed just now.

I'm deeply disturbed by the strengthening relationship between the Trump and Netanyahu administrations. Last year, I pleaded with the Israeli government not to align with the white nationalist influenced White House:
The Trump administration’s decision to pressure the Israeli government is a bigoted ploy. If we don’t call this out AND criticize the ban, we become accomplices to an antisemitic attempt to exploit Israel so Trump can drive a political wedge at home.
Prime Minister @Netanyahu, you know that this president is no ally to Israel. He and his associates have shown their true colors time and time again.
Why do you continue to normalize and abet the antisemitism and white nationalism of the Trump administration?
At a time when we need to come together globally to combat antisemitism, racism, Islamophobia, and the rise of white nationalism, this is a painful setback — an unnecessary swipe at the momentum growing towards an intersectional understanding of antisemitism.
