It's hard for me to tweet through my tears at this utter ignorance & antisemitism. How is this happening in a country where we felt so safe? Trump is no "King of Israel". Trust me on this.
I've said for 3 years: Donald trump is good for NOBODY except Donald trump. That's been clear as day from the beginning. All his tweets this week have put a target on American Jews. Increased security & fear abound. 2/
My students last night expressed deep disbelief, great fear, concern for the safety of their children & grandchildren re: trump's comments. You have no idea what this kind of talk triggers in Jews. He's got to stop /end

Thread. The night TFG was elected in 2016, both our young adult sons asked us - are we going to be ok here? My husband said - let’s make sure we all have our passports in order. That’s how clear it was the kind of racism & antisemitism he would stir up
2/ now look what we have: synagogues on high alert, Nazis openly harassing in Orlando, HBCU’s being targeted, hate crimes at the highest levels, our democracy in peril…
3/ let’s not be like the frog slowly boiled & not noticing because it was so gradual — Let’s all stay awake, stand up each time, refuse to get numb. The only guardrails are us, the people. Good morning.

Voting rights needs to be federal. Period. Let’s do what we did when the GOP tried to take away health care. Remember? Call your senators. Tell them to pass Senate bill 1.
Please PLEASE don’t tell me you have GOP senators. Take your power. Use your voice. It does not matter what you think they will do. Blow up the phones. Even if they don’t do what you say, at least you can say you did everything in your power
If you believe in democracy, exercise your rights every chance you get. That includes expressing your opinions whether or not people agree with you. This is so primary. If you don’t speak up, you have already lost.

If you have a Republican Senator I hope you are calling them every day with your opinion on the #impeachment YOUR VOICE MATTERS
Let me clarify: ESPECIALLY if you have a Republican Senator: CALL. it doesn’t matter what you think they will do. What matters is using your voice. That’s what democracy is. If you don’t think your voice counts, we are really lost.
What they care about is public opinion. So use your voice.

In regards to GOP congresspeople feeling afraid for their lives: perhaps you didn't have your grown sons call you the night of the 2016 election, asking if we (as Jews) will be safe here now. Maybe you didn't hear your husband tell the family to get their passports in order /1
2/ just in case we had to flee. Maybe you thought that he couldn't be that bad -- but it was clear to anyone paying attention that he was dangerous. SURELY Jews, Muslims, Latinx, African Americans - we could have told you how terrified we were -
3/ We didn't even know that families would be separated, or that we'd have a pandemic that would be worse bc he couldn't govern - but we KNEW in our bones - from age-old cellular trauma that he was capable of horror

Seriously, he should be impeached bc of his egregious failed handling of the pandemic alone.
Dayenu. “It would have been enough”
- for separating families, putting kids in cages, ripping babies from their mothers arms - דַּיֵּנוּ. Dayenu
