The Montgomery County Jewish Collective is aware of the Brandeis Center complaint. We believe MCPS must protect all of its students from bullying, threats of violence, antisemitism, racism, and all targets of white supremacy. But we see this Complaint for what it is:

brandeiscenter.com“DON’T TALK TO HIM. HE IS A ZIONIST.”: MONTGOMERY COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS FAILED TO RESPOND TO ANTI-SEMITIC DEATH THREATS, HARASSMENT AGAINST A JEWISH STUDENT, ACCORDING TO NEW BRANDEIS CENTER COMPLAINT...As Supreme Court takes up racial discrimination case against Montgomery County Public Schools, Brandeis Center files separate civil rights complaint alleging district failed to protect Jewish student ...

Today, while protecting Palestinians, Brad Lander & a group of American rabbis & others were taken by the IDF. Releasing Brad isn't enough, the Israeli govt must release them all.   If this is how they treat Americans, imagine how they treat Palestinians. Trump & Rubio's silence fuels this impunity.

This design appears to completely eliminate the much-beloved loop road and public park at Hains Point, and cut down the cherry trees which line the road. The park is a public space used by tens of thousands of Washingtonians and heavily visited by tourists. /photos not my own.

These ghouls got everything they ever wanted: total control of the government, radical tax cuts for the rich & destruction of the federal "bureaucracy", war on Iran -and all it did was destroy US soft power & melt down the economy. So they're back to whining about pointy headed academics & the youth

I want to thank the racist lunatics at the Trump administration for working every day to force the median voter to understand that this time, we need to imprison a lot of people for high crimes.

Sam Bagenstos@sbagen.bsky.social

This story makes it sound like the major problem is that the Trump Admin did this w/in 60 days of an election. Yes, that's a real abuse. But the major problem is they're basically threatening to denaturalize an opposition legislator, based on racist insinuations. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...

I'm not saying I agree but there is a certain cutthroat part of me that understands why this has not been chosen as a major Democratic theme in the runup to this election. But I sure hope they have much more of a plan to handle it than they have let on in public bsky.app/profile/jame...

wrote on saturday that trump was not going to let democrats avoid the question of impeachment and here we are with an offense that would have had a president impeached, removed and *at least* exiled if it had happened at any point prior to now.

1. Trump’s new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia is a prolific user of Truth Social where she regularly promoted Pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies, accusing elites in the Democratic Party and Hollywood of running child sex rings and eating people.

Ossoff: "Tonight, a united Georgia will hear the trial the Mike Collins. Mike Collins has brought dishonor to our state through his personal bigotry and his widely documented ties to white nationalists. And he's sold out Georgia in his pathetic child-like devotion to Donald Trump."

‘Antisemitism isn’t systemic’ is the Left’s version of ‘the world’s oldest hatred’. An easy slogan that is in fact a sign of impoverished thought, a stubborn unwillingness to think critically & rigorously. One hyperbolizes, the other minimizes;

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.
