Today in Trump’s America

I go here nearly every day to work out. It’s an institution where many of my friends take their kids for daycare, afterschool activities, etc., and institution important to the daily life of this community:

The Sidney Albert Albany Jewish Community Center is being evacuated after the Whitehall Road’s second such threat in the last two weeks.

Director Adam Chaskin confirmed that a threat was made Tuesday morning and people were being led out of the building.

Over Christmas break, we were lucky enough to be able to use the JCC in La Jolla, which was also subject to a bomb threat. Again, these anti-Semitic threats seem to be happening across the country. This latest round appears to be all hoaxes again, but it’s hard to be confident that all of the threats against these and other institutions representing minority religions will continue to be empty.

In retrospect, one could argue that Donald Trump’s white nationalism was more important than Hillary Clinton’s email server. But surely our media knows what it’s doing.

…as Alex notes on comments, this is actually the third wave of threats directed against Jewish Community Centers since the election.
