We are shocked and alarmed at the second deadly attack on an American synagogue in six months, this time at Congregation Chabad in #Poway, on the last day of Passover. It must serve as another wake-up call that antisemitism is a growing and deadly menace. https://t.co/NXsREnPriw pic.twitter.com/NsyE2WpnFv

We have come across what appears to be a manifesto for the Poway synagogue shooter. He identifies as an anon from 8chan's /pol/ board. He claims he was inspired by the Christchurch shooting. His manifesto is filled with shitposting and should not be taken literally.

New from me and @anblanx:
An antisemitic “open letter” posted in the name of the San Diego synagogue shooting suspect, John T. Earnest, was posted on 8chan before the attack, NBCNews confirms.
It was a copy of the Christchurch shooter’s style and tone.https://t.co/E3msXixuQ9

Following the terrible news of another synagogue attack (apparently inspired by the #Christchurch Mosque) @cjwerleman's piece this week on the New 'Al-Qaeda' – a Right Wing Insurgency – is horrifically prescient @RVAwonk https://t.co/1lrcz8sLDM via @BylineTimes

As more news comes out of Poway I cannot help but think about the fact that we have a President who saw fit on the day before the end of Passover to try to recast the deadly 2017 anti-Semitic white supremacist march as a gathering to honor a Robert E Lee. A national disgrace.

Meanwhile in Trumpworld…
Cretins. Trump is a cretin and he has ushered in an Age of Cretins in American life. He has empowered the hateful, the ignorant, the useless and the odious because he is all those things and he is celebrated by an entire political party, a great slice of the US establishment. https://t.co/ANHsqopFY1

The really crazy part was I had just gotten finished talking about how my dad escaped Nazi Germany and came to America. And then a bunch of American Nazis walked in, surreal. This is our world right now.

Extraordinary poll. It took UKIP twenty years to top the European elections. The Brexit Party might do it in less than twenty weeks. https://t.co/5rzPM0YoQv

Amazing the amount of people who think 52 per cent is a conclusive Brexit result but won’t accept the 98 per cent of scientists who believe we should take urgent action on human-made climate change.

Climate change is becoming more salient, and in some countries as important as immigration, but don't expect this to weaken far right vote in #EP2019 too much. Some far right parties have successfully integrated this into their populist critique of "the elite" (FvD 🇳🇱, PS 🇫🇮). pic.twitter.com/IeD6lnUuwd
