Team Trump is making a list of Jews--what could go wrong?

In a chilling move that echoes Nazi Germany, the Trump administration is making a list of Jews—supposedly for their own good.

The Intercept reported on Wednesday that professors at Barnard College in New York City received a text message to their personal cellphones with a survey from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that asked recipients if they identify as one of the following options: “I am Jewish,” “I am Israeli,” “I have shared Jewish/Israeli ancestry,” “I practice Judaism,” and “Other.”

Professor Debbie Becher, who is Jewish, told the outlet, “The federal government reaching out to our personal cellphones to identify who is Jewish is incredibly sinister.”

The questions on the Barnard text were written under the guise of the Trump administration purportedly trying to root out antisemitism on college campuses. But this excuse is a Trojan horse for attacking dissent on college campuses—to the point of disappearing people—and pushing an anti-immigrant agenda.

Guess we should be glad they are as ham handed as they are.

When the yells of protest arise in the next 24 hours, expect a half hearted denial. So far he has said he changed his mind on previous outrageous proposals, but I assume he is lying to avoid consequences. Dr by

Aside from the part of the Jewish community who stupidly and blindly voted for Trump while ignoring his antisemitic rhetoric of the past, as well as his father's Nazi history, there are a huge number of Jews who see through his BS and recognize that he says what he has to when it's convenient to gather votes. Associating with types like Musk, who think it's okay to "Nazi salute", ultra right wing fascist groups who he calls "regular folk", and countless other rightwing "KKK type" characters seems just fine with Trump. He should be all over this labelling shit like glue on a stick...but he just doesn't care. He got their vote...so fuck 'em. That's the attitude. And his Jewish son-in-law is a self-hating lowlife who should be putting a stop to this...but he's the worst kind of threat to any Jew. Fuck him too!

Frankly, I can see this falling into more wrong hands and all hell breaking loose. This "were cracking down on anti-Semitism" bullshit red herring from the mis-administration is already repercussions against the Jewish community. Frankly, they care as much about anti-Semitism as the general population: not at all!

September 01, 1941

Jewish Badge
Reinhard Heydrich decrees that all Jews over six years of age in the Reich, Alsace, Bohemia-Moravia and the German–annexed territory of western Poland (called the Warthegau), are to wear yellow Star of David on their outer clothing in public at all times. The word "Jew" is to be inscribed inside the star in German or the local language.

During the Nazi era, German authorities reintroduced the Jewish badge as a key element of their larger plan to persecute and eventually to annihilate the Jewish population of Europe. They used the badge not only to stigmatize and humiliate Jews but also to segregate them, to watch and control their movements, and to prepare for deportation.

It is a full blown acquisition of data for raw power as the Reich wing targets all Dems, Libs, "radical" judges, law firms, universities, NPR, PBS, and it's only been 100 days. Steve Bannon's assertion of "shock troops" has proven to be correct. Probably a Presidential Medal of "Freedom" candidate (for a price...)
