Another act of terrorism against Jews in America. Another violent act of antisemitism. More targeting of & attempted killing of Jews. This must be called out for what it is. It must be condemned. It cannot stand. And all of us must stand with/defend our Jewish brothers & sisters.

call me a buzzkill but I feel wary about making “propaganda” a meaningless meme word when so many people already lack the critical thinking skills to discern when real propaganda is working on them.

Communicating right now is fraught. Here is some advice on framing in turbulent times:
1. Frame messages around shared, enduring values.
2. Use clear language and consistently highlight solutions.
3. Shift from jargon to concrete explanations.
4. Don’t rebut; reframe.

The Trump administration illegally deported this Maryland father, who was here legally, by "accident" to El Salvador and now they have no way of getting him back. Whoever is responsible for this should be held criminally liable for destroying this person's life.
