hey I'm beginning to think that the dude with the Nazi tattoo doesn't like Jews

Nick Fuentes’s Strategy Is Working Viral clips of the far-right white supremacist are growing his audience.

I'm been off social media for Passover, so am late to this, but just wanted to highlight some excellent recent work by my @theatlantic.com colleagues: First, Amogh Dimri on how online clipping culture sanitizes Nick Fuentes for mainstream audiences. Gift link: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

one of the more remarkable trends evident in Trump's second term is that so many of the people who screamed bloody murder over the idea of courting moderate Republican votes in elections are actually 100% onboard with courting people on the right as long as they're cranks and anti-Semites

This thread is good to the last drop. Read it and consider it.

Bundism failed!

It might be a *noble* failure, a doomed moral victor, but an ideology that cannot sustain itself is a FAILURE, no matter how much you love its core premises or want to see them win.

Hot take: the first prerequisite of a Jewish movement to replace Zionism is that it was not itself functionally wiped out as its core premises were spectacularly disproven.

Top American Prospect editor peddles antisemitic conspiracy theories online Moe Tkacik’s posts have ranged from labeling Israel a ‘brainwashed psychopathic death cult’ to accusing the country of being behind the assassinations of JFK and Charlie Kirk

Maureen Tkacik, a top editor for The American Prospect, has made no secret of her self-avowed hatred of Israel.

But in recent months she has increasingly entertained conspiracy theories, used antisemitic rhetoric and expressed her approval of far-right extremists stoking anti-Jewish sentiment.

Bluesky dunking on and mischaracterizing someone out of context, part 1 million. Tell me again how you hate echo chambers

"Israel" doesn't start with a J.

Pretty flabbergasting how much of the fringe left is now openly in the thrall of this antisemitic conspiracy site and its carefully distorted data

McMorrow slams El-Sayed for campaigning with Hasan Piker, compares Piker to Nick Fuentes McMorrow: ‘That is not somebody that you should be campaigning with at a moment when there is clearly a lot of pain and trauma across our state’

SCOOP | Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, who is running in a tight three-way Democratic primary for U.S. Senate, slammed one of her opponents, Abdul El-Sayed, for his decision to campaign with the far-left political streamer Hasan Piker.

"Look up the Lavon Affair"

This account has 40,000 followers here and is taken seriously by a lot of people on the left. They are now directly arguing that Israel planned the antisemitic attack on Hatzolah ambulances in London this morning.

This really fucking sucks!

Two plus months ago, Graham platner did a guest spot on a white supremacist YouTube channel and declared himself a longtime fan.

His supporters must either think he was lying or that it's fine that he's a long time fan of a white supremacist channel.

They never say which

People who ask you to explain why it's wrong to burn down ambulances of a jewish medical emergency service are not going to be convinced by your explanation.

I’ve had this conversation so many times in the past few days:
“It’s an antisemitic conspiracy to say Israel and its lobby are the main reason the US fights Mideast wars.”
“Oh, so you’re saying AIPAC doesn’t try to lobby American politicians?”

A top Trump aide resigned over Iran. Liberals should stay away from him. Anti-war antisemitism is still antisemitism.

Joe Kent's resignation letter is an antisemitic tract — the ur-text of a "stabbed in the back" myth that could do enormous damage to American Jews

www.vox.com/politics/482...

Since this seems to be asked in good faith, I don’t think most criticism of Israel is antisemitic, but inflating its authority to make it responsible for every US war in the Middle East, going back to George W Bush, and the winking nod to “Israel’s lobby in America,” plays on tropes of Jewish power.

I think you can argue that any fracture in the MAGA coalition is worth exploiting on a practical level, but the number of people on the left here I am seeing completely denying that antisemitism played a big role in this split with Trump, and Jews might have reason to be concerned, is worrisome.

The amount of people in my comments here who can't see the barely-coded antisemitism in Joe Kent, who has given sympathetic interviews to Holocaust deniers, blaming Israel not just for the Iran War, but for the Iraq War and Syria, too, is really concerning!

Of course Kent’s own post announcing his resignation is riddled with antisemitic tropes under the guise of blaming Israel. You can vehemently criticize the Israeli government and oppose the war without engaging in these dangerous conspiratorial tropes. Amplifying it further normalizes it. 3/

In fairness, this is more like Joe Kent continuing to be Joe Kent.

it will be useful to pay attention to folks, esp Dems, who conveniently forget or at minimum downplay who he is and what his history is because they want to amplify what he’s saying now.

Same thing for MTG, etc.

when you're playing syllogism and logical proof games about anti-Semitism to defend a guy who is a notorious anti-Semite

One Year In: A Look at the Administration’s Approach to Antisemitism - Jewish Council for Public Affairs

From @thejcpa.bsky.social report: Kent has a history of promoting conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, defending convicted January 6th attackers as “political prisoners,” and ties to Nazi sympathizers and Holocaust deniers. jewishpublicaffairs.org/one-year-in-... 2/

You may be inclined to amplify Joe Kent right now because of concerns over the Iran war.

Don’t.

He’s an extremist with deep ties to Nazi sympathizers and Holocaust deniers who never should have been in this role in the first place (sadly one of many in this administration). 1/

Candidates get more support by moving to the middle of voters' ideological spectrum, but that may not mean the middle among elites. Democrats benefit by moderating most where the public is more conservative, Republicans where the public is more liberal
