Link to reply@IlhanMN My grandparents used to speak Yiddish when they didn't want the kids to know what they were saying if that counts. @freetofu 😂 I do that sometimes too Link to reply@IlhanMN My Puerto Rican parents did the same.

It's just a habit Link to reply@IlhanMN My great grandfather only spoke in Flemish when he was angry @buynothingman My grandpa spoke Italian when he was angry. It's the language he learned when Somalia was colonized and I think it was his way of making sure we didn't hear him curse. Link to reply@IlhanMN My mom used to flip into Italian when her and my aunt's would slide into gossip territory! @ryanlaf Omg, my sisters and Somali friends and I used to do this when the kids were little but know it's hard because they can understand. Link to reply@IlhanMN My daughter once asked me to tell her in English whatever I was telling her in Spanish, because she found it interesting and actually wanted to understand what I was saying. This left me wondering about all the other times I talk to her in Spanish and she doesn't object. 🤔 @jorge_guajardo Sometimes it makes me wonder too. I think sometimes we talk fast and they get lost, sometimes we use local dialects they aren't familiar with and sometimes it's just their way of reminding us we are using a language we are comfortable with and while they feel uncomfortable.”

This massacre was the most brutal act of antisemitic violence in United States history. Sadly, antisemitic violence is rising rapidly in our country and around the world. As we remember those who lost their lives, we must honor their memories by working together to stop the rise in antisemitism and put an end to this vile hatred that plagues our communities. As Co-Chair of the House Bipartisan Task Force for Combatting Antisemitism, I commit to working with my colleagues to educate others about the unique nature and danger of antisemitism. History teaches us that what starts with hatred and violence against Jews inevitably impacts other communities and erodes the foundations of democracy. I believe our government can and should do more to address this issue, and I pledge to work to eradicate of this age-old evil. My heart goes out to the families and loved ones of the victims, the entire Pittsburg community, and those who worship at the Tree of Life Synagogue.”

Last year, the @ADL found that antisemitic incidents reached an all-time high in the United States since they started tracking 40 years ago. We can't sit idly by and watch the Jewish community fall victim to more hate. As the husband of a Jewish woman and the father of four Jewish children, this is personal. We need to call out antisemitism when we see it, educate young folks, and take action to protect the Jewish community here at home and around the world.
