I was taught by a holocaust survivor. Every year her husband, a survivor as well, would tell his story to the 6th grade. She never spoke about it. They are both dead now, blessed be their memories, and their memory lives with me. Most Jews know a holocaust survivor.
Wore my Jewish star to the dentist today (as I wear it everywhere) and the hygienist - a Persian Jewish woman whose family escaped in '79 I came to find out - said 'youre not afraid to wear that star? It's so big.' I told her I do it for those who can't.
Proud to be a Jew. Worried bc Jew-hatred makes people believe Jews are all powerful and when we are able to mobilize to protect ourselves, it plays into antisemitic tropes of Jewish power. Many are seeing those 405 banners for the first time this week. Not me.
I produced the song at the end of this episode! Go check it out, it was amazing working with the

team and I can’t wait to see the rest of the episodes 👏
if you haven't seen - yesterday some n*o n*zis showed up on broadway to harass theatergoers attending a show about a Jewish person's 1915 murder. I'm too tired to write a thoughtful tweet so just please do your part to see how what you can do to fight antisemitism
I used to play football in high school. My coach would make us pray to Jesus before every game and honestly at the time I didn't think much of it. One day, after years of this, I mentioned it to my parents. Mama Stone Fish *immediately* called the school and that was the last
We need the IHRA definition of antisemitism because it is easy to tell when someone hates Jews when they say they’ll go def con 3 on us but harder (for some) to tell when they do what Mark Ruffalo has been doing for years. They’re both hateful, just one is easier to spot
The world loves Jews when we’re making them laugh. The world loves Jews when we’re using our history of persecution to empower us to fight for others. The world doesn’t like Jews when we’re sticking up for ourselves. The world doesn’t like Jews when we defend ourselves.
We sold out our show three weeks before it even opens!!!! wowowowowowow. Twitter, I'm doing work on my computer for the next little bit. Let's chat! What are you excited about? What's going on with ya!
In the season final of

We had a beautiful conversation about Jewish pride, her Persian Jewish culture, and the current state of antisemitism. I promised her I tuck the star away if ever I fear for me or my wife's safety.
I will always be a proud Jew and I will always show up for our people ✡️
A kid saw my star and said happy Chanukah so I said it back. Then he said ‘I meant Shabbos’ so I said ‘are you Jewish?’ He said yes and his friend said ‘he had his bar mitzvah last week.’ I asked if it was fun and he said yes. I told him being Jewish is awesome and to stay proud
Their memory is ours to keep and we are tasked with it's preservation. For every Jew hater that exists, we must love and celebrate Judaism even more deeply, more proudly, and more unabashedly. If you don't know any Jewish people, you can still join in supporting Jewish culture

@MayorOfLA
. The mayor has asked us to not work and stay home, but still insists we get out and move our cars twice a week or he'll fine us $70. This doesn't make any sense. Stop ticketing people for parking in their neighborhoods !!
time we ever had any type of mandated prayer before football games. I remember being embarrassed at the time, but as I've gotten older I have come to have a deep appreciation for what she did. She laid out a model for me of activism that I follow to this day.
We need help fighting the rising hatred directed at the Jewish people. We are a small people, only ~.02% of the world's population and about 2% of America's. We can not fight this hate alone.
Hi
@JetBlue
your gate check agent literally took the keyboard from my hand and told me there was no space for it in the overhead when there is actually plenty of space. I told him this but he still took it from me. Y’all straight up lie on your website.
Ok twitter! I just got back from pretty much the most amazing week of my life (excluding the day i got married!)
@lewberger
worked with so many cool broadway shows and people! Anybody got questions or thoughts??
Neo-Nazi groups are reportedly organizing a national “Day of Hate” against Jews on Saturday.
We will not be intimidated.
We are resilient.
We are strong.

Visited the shockingly small Holocaust Memorial Park in Athens. Nearby, Jews were told food was being passed out only to be ambushed and taken to their deaths. Between 60,000-70,000 Jews died, mostly in Auschwitz-Birkenau. 7,000 Jews are left in Greece today.

You and Alex have inspired me so much. I grew up in an extremely antisemitic area (highest kkk population in the US) and you two were the first openly and PROUDLY Jewish role models I could look up to.
I’m so proud of my culture and so thankful to be finally owning it. Thank you.
I've been watching antisemitic flyers get handed out all over the country, banners get hung up over freeways, Jews get kicked out of progressive spaces, and Jews get killed and beat up for years now.
I'm supposed to hit Alex with a soft prop on stage and I do it as hard as I can bc he told me it didn't hurt but tonight I missed and I basically just punched him as hard as I could in the arm 🥺😅 sorry

Please, as you join in support of Jewish people, be sure to follow Jews, understand how antisemitism functions, and look at how conflicts in Israel/Zionism get used as socially acceptable covers to spout Jew-hate. Antisemitism is OLD and unlearning it will take time.

Thank you. I communicated with his head of school and have another call set up with him for tomorrow - but he graduated from there so the head of school doesn't have much authority over him now

🚨CASTING ANNOUNCEMENT🚨 The amazing Wayne Brady will be playing the titular Wizard of Friendship on the WOF cast album! We’re so thrilled to work with him and can’t wait for you to hear the magic. Album drops next week on 6/23, get ready!
I just received two Emmy nominations for Outstanding Original Song and Outstanding Writing for a Special Class Series for the work I did on this series about the history of racism, sexism, and anti-Semitism through cartoons. I rap at the end of this song!
Your brothers never grabbed your hands and said ‘stop hitting yourself’ over and over again while they relentlessly made you punch yourself and it shows
Wow I’m really about to watch myself on one of the biggest tv shows in America…dancing, singing, and to a song i co-wrote, produced and performed with two of my best buds. If only 17 year old Hughie trying to follow his dreams could see me now.

I just found out my high school named a fish after me and then it died and they ran an article saying "Hughie Stone Fish died" and everyone thought I died
