The anti-Semitic gestures by the West Virginia Correctional cadets were unconscionable, especially at a time in which the Jewish community faces a rise in violent attacks.

.@JimJusticeWV is to be commended for firing and suspending those involved. The SPLC urges him to conduct a full and in-depth investigation into the views and practices of all criminal justice staff.
@JimJusticeWV He must ensure that the men and women entrusted to their care are treated with respect and humanity.

This week, the House formally delivered #impeachment articles to the Senate. See thread for a statement from Karen Baynes-Dunning, Interim President & CEO of the SPLC Action Fund:
"While many of us believe the evidence against President Trump is overwhelming, with new revelations emerging almost daily, the American people have a right to full, fair and transparent deliberations in the Senate. This includes testimony from key witnesses.
“SPLC Action Fund urges Americans to contact their U.S. Senators and ask that they fulfill their oath to ‘do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws.’”

Despite evidence that forcible #familyseparation is traumatic and leads to short- and long-term health issues, the Trump administration has separated thousands of children from their parents.

We're suing. #KeepFamiliesTogether
Facing gang violence and extortion in Guatemala, J.V.S. and his 5-year-old daughter sought refuge in the U.S.

He was detained. His daughter was flown to a foster home in NY.

It was weeks before they spoke on the phone and more than two months before they saw each other again.
A.P.F. and his 7-year-old son fled Guatemala after threats of extortion. They were detained and separated at the U.S. border, forced to spend 65 days apart. #KeepFamiliesTogether

The Trump administration has weaponized the immigration courts into a deportation machine. This must end. We’re suing. #AbolishTheDeportationMachine #SaveAsylum

We filed a lawsuit today with @ThinkLawLab on behalf of our organizations and @asylumadvocacy, @santafedreamers, @LasAmericasIAC and @cliniclegal. #AbolishTheDeportationMachine #SaveAsylum
Our nation’s immigration courts make life-and-death decisions every day for people seeking #asylum. They depend on a functioning court system to protect them from persecution, torture, and death. #AbolishTheDeportationMachine #SaveAsylum

West Virginia correctional cadets who gave Nazi salute in photo will all be fired
Do you understand the “Hail Byrd” reference and how disgusting this is?
No? Go google Harry F Bryd

nbcnews.com/news/us-news/w… via @nbcnews
@NBCNews “I have reviewed the factual information regarding this incident that was provided by Secretary Sandy, and have approved all of his recommendations..I expressed my thanks to him and the entire Department for quickly getting this report done”

@NBCNews And yes while I’ll concede the instructor is Karrie Bryd it seems to belie credulity that it was “in honor of their instructor” given Byrd gave contradictory explanations to investigators
If you know WV or VA complicated history Harry F Byrd wasn’t a leap

Anti-Semitic “dog whistle”? Delivered at a conference organized by an Israeli Jew, to an audience of many Jewish-Americans, and from a guy who has been an ardent advocate of the state of Israel and the Jewish people? Nice try. dailywire.com/news/49681/wat…
You’ll have to carry me out on a slab before I compromise my defense of the Jewish people, their greatness, their history, their safety, and the state of Israel
The liberal elites hate this speech because it calls out their failure. It calls out their pretentiousness, their arrogance, their fake “meritocracy,” their disdain for the middle of our society

CNN's Marc Lamont Hill appears to call for violence against Israel and for the elimination of Israel, says, "Justice requires a free Palestine from the river to the sea."

The phrase "from the river to the sea" is a phrase used by those who believe Israel should be eliminated.
Hill said in 2008 while on Fox News that he couldn't be sure if Hitler-worshipper Louis Farrakhan was an "anti-semite" and said that Farrakhan's quote calling Judaism a "gutter religion" was taken "out of context"
Here's Hill hanging out with Farrakhan

1. The Left Is No Friend To Jews

David Harsanyi, a Hungarian Jew who is a descendant of Holocaust survivors and victims, has written a compelling piece debunking leftist hypocrisy on yesterday's events. Here, I serialize it to honor it.
2. The Left’s response to the mass shooting of Jews is an act of bad faith. How are Americans ever going to 'come together' if the first thing a political party sees when it sees dead Americans is a partisan cudgel?
3. It is ironic to see many of the same liberals, who recently fought to prop up the world’s most powerful Jew-hating terror state, Iran, lecturing us on the importance of combating anti-Semitism. But here we are.
