“You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say, ‘you are free to compete with all the others,’ and still justly believe that you have been completely fair.”—LBJ, 1965
I spent my first months as an Afghan refugee in a New York homeless shelter with my mother and brother.
Now, I'm back in New York, but this time as a tech startup founder, studying at @Columbia.
Education is the fundamental right of every Afghan girl. Give them the chance to learn and they'll reach heights beyond imagination. I'm a testament to that.
I was honored to share my journey at the @ColumbiaGS Scholarship Gala. Incredibly grateful to be a part of this amazing community.
Thank you for having me.
Dear everyone in Ukraine,
Do not record photos or videos of air defense. Ever. Do not record the vehicles. Do not record the missiles flying through the air. Do not record explosions in the sky.
I am alarmed to learn that the Chair of the House Oversight Committee thinks that the NTSB is part of our Department. NTSB is independent (and with good reason). Still, of course, we will fully review this and respond appropriately. https://t.co/beNgtBnHqj
I just realized that not everyone on Twitter knows that the USSR invaded Poland in 1939, acting in collaboration with Nazi Germany. Hitler and Stalin started WWII as allies.
During the Soviet occupation of my hometown Lviv in 1939-1941 thousands were arrested and murdered.
A video of Polish President Duda speaking with tears in his eyes about the nature of the war is going viral in Ukraine.

@ukraine_map Let me say it this way:
I am German and I think we should send parts of our "government" to Moscow..
And Leopards to Ukraine.
Then everything is in their natural habitat.
