1) For the first time in my life, we're not hanging a Mezuzah on our door. This is despite us hanging one in 1960s Iraq, not long before my father & other Jews were executed & my mother fled with us to Israel. But this year, in America, we're too worried.
Here's why I say this.

2) Because today marks yet another day that @realDonaldTrump and his political team make another nod to far-right extremists, posting a triangle unignorably resemblant of that from Nazi Germany's political prisoner patches.
3) Was this an honest mistake from team Trump? Maybe, but I'd be more willing to give the benefit of the doubt if this hadn't happened so many times before: the "fine people" in Charlottesville, retweeting users with names like "WhiteGenocide." There are too many to count.
4) It's more than just nods to the far-right; POTUS sets the stage for them. He announces Antifa designation but ignores growing "Boogaloo" terror movement. Take it from groups like the ProudBoys, who now tout themselves as "counterterror" against the enemies Trump hands to them.
5) Americans should feel safe in their country. They should have a leader unambiguously rejects hate--not fan its flames.
This isn't just about a triangle. It's about a President & those in his orbit who have completely lost track of what it means to lead a country.
