@EdWorkforceCmte @virginiafoxx @liz_elkind @FoxNews I'm Jewish and went to MIT and I can say for certain that I'd rather be back at MIT than living in Gaza right now.

@virginiafoxx if you legitimately care about human life, then convince your colleagues in DC to stop funding the ongoing destruction of Gaza.

@EdWorkforceCmte @virginiafoxx @TaliaKhan_MIT I am a Jewish alum of MIT. I have followed this issue very closely and I can tell you that President Kornbluth, who is Jewish, has done an excellent job handling the situation on campus. I know you want those AIPAC dollars, but you are barking up the wrong tree.

[Jared Schiffman @jaredschiffman]

@EdWorkforceCmte @virginiafoxx @MollyLineFNC @FoxNews Virginia — I went to MIT. I am Jewish. I have followed this issue very closely. President Kornbluth, who is Jewish, has done an exceptional job managing the protests on campus over the past five months. She is 10x the woman you will ever be.

@RepStefanik @RepMoskowitz @Harvard @MIT @Penn @EdWorkforceCmte Are you aware that these are private institutions? Or did that not come up in your government classes at Harvard?

[Jared Schiffman @jaredschiffman]

@RepStefanik @Penn @RepStefanik I saw that photo of you and George W. Smiling like best friends. Now it all makes sense. Great morals. Great decision-making. Real leaders!

[Jared Schiffman @jaredschiffman]

@RepStefanik @Penn @RepStefanik If you really are concerned about genocide and really want to claim the moral high ground, perhaps you should consider the slaughter of 20,000 men, women and children who had no voice in this conflict. Or does that not bother you?

[Jared Schiffman @jaredschiffman]

@RepStefanik @Penn @RepStefanik As a Jewish MIT alum, I have followed the events on campus closely, including examining videos captured by MIT's Israel Alliance Group. In none of these videos did I observe anything antisemitic or anything resembling a call for genocide. See for yourself.

[Jared Schiffman @jaredschiffman]

@RepStefanik @Penn @RepStefanik As a Jewish graduate of MIT, I'd encourage you and your followers to watch the video that MIT President Sally Kornbluth recorded last month in the midst of this conflict on campus. This is what leadership looks like.

@RepStefanik @Penn @RepStefanik I am a Jew and a graduate of MIT. One thing that MIT does very well is teach students to grapple with complex issues. Sadly, you are not capable of this.

[Jared Schiffman @jaredschiffman]

@RepStefanik @Penn @RepStefanik As a fellow Jew, I'd like to point out to all Jews what you are doing. You are attempting to silence the voices of those who oppose Israel for killing thousands of men, women and children in Gaza who have no voice in this conflict. Their blood is now on your hands.

🎉 So excited to share this press release announcing our launch! 👏 A huge thank you to our incredible team, pilot teachers and students, Creator Camp participants, and interns for making this possible! https://t.co/3JnmZGDX1z #launch #pressrelease #thankyou

[Jared Schiffman @jaredschiffman]

@golan Thanks Golan. And thanks to @dribnet for this amazing restoration. As it turns out, these are all binary subdivisions, but can have the appearance of being non-binary due to the area equalization. In other words, cousins can look just like brothers.

This report summarizes well how EdTech is both succeeding and failing now, when it’s needed most. https://t.co/8VdnJVHbON

The fires across the West Coast are just the latest examples of the very real ways our changing climate is changing our communities. Protecting our planet is on the ballot. Vote like your life depends on it—because it does.

[Jared Schiffman @jaredschiffman]

@lauder_ronald While your recent statement is a step in the right direction, it doesn’t excuse your support of Trump, our most explicitly racist President in 70 yrs. Until you denounce Trump & end financial support, these recent efforts will be meaningless. Consider your legacy.

[Jared Schiffman @jaredschiffman]

@andymstone @APPCPenn Let’s be clear. The “press” is not an author or set of authors. The press is the publisher, the entity responsible for mass distribution. Facebook is the modern press.

[Jared Schiffman @jaredschiffman]

@andymstone @APPCPenn Who exactly is “the press”? Facebook is the press for large swaths of America. Even if the press does reply, those people won’t see it due to Facebook’s algorithms. Facebook must take responsibility.

[Jared Schiffman @jaredschiffman]

@andymstone dear Andy, I honestly don’t understand what your job is. You seem to be in charge of (or at least in support of) fact checking at Facebook and yet are fine with doctored media. FB can be politically neutral whilst maintaining policies preventing misinformation. No?

[Jeff Tiedrich @itsJeffTiedrich]

in summation—
Trump is a genius but you can't see his grades
Trump is healthy but you can't see his medical reports
Trump is rich but you can't see his tax returns
Trump is honest but you can't see the documents
Trump is innocent but you can't subpoena the witnesses

[Monica Lewinsky (she/her) @MonicaLewinsky]

gee, too bad i had to give that videoed witness testimony for the senate trial in the clinton impeachment. (i mean, talk about unflattering lighting and having a bad hair day.)
