Today's Statement from the Los Angeles Business Council on Recent Immigration Activities in Los Angeles:

[Jonathan Karp @karpjonathan]

@Delta. Contact me because you royally messed up luggage from Savannah to London today, July 28. Second time in a week a family member will be without her bag.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

I am pro Israel. I am pro Palestine. I do not support all of the Israeli governments policies. I deplore terrorism, which can never be excused. It is not hard to hold all of these positions at the same time.

[Gregory Zuckerman @GZuckerman]

just awful

[Michael Oren @DrMichaelOren]

Regardless of my opinion of Netanyahu and his fitness to serve, Senator Schumer’s call for new Israeli elections is deeply disrespectful of our democracy and sovereignty. Israel is an ally, not a vassal state. Along with the U.S., we’re one of the few countries never to have known a second of non-democratic government, and the only democracy never to have known a moment of peace. We certainly deserve that respect.

There's a lot of bad information out there about how covid damages the immune system

It really doesn’t

But you know what does?

Measles

And thanks to the antivaxers

We are seeing measles outbreaks again

Encourage people to get their kids vaccinated

It’s really important

[Jonathan Karp @karpjonathan]

@DrMichaelOren So sorry for your loss, Michael. She and your father lived long and fulfilling lives, enriched by amazing children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Im outraged. This is disgusting.

[Lingling Wei 魏玲灵 @Lingling_Wei]

A free flow of information serves economic vitality. China’s censors in the past had targeted mainly political dissidents while leaving room for commentary about the economy. Not anymore. Stepped-up censorship has become an economic management tool.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Gigot is right.

[Jonathan Karp @karpjonathan]

@ATTHelp Promises. Promises. @ATT manager also said that the monthly charges couldn’t be waived because @ATT couldn’t risk double crediting me. Some customer service!

[Jonathan Karp @karpjonathan]

My @ATT line has been out since 10/16. @ATT keeps pushing back the repair date yet bills me, promising to credit me on future statements. I noted the absurdity of this. A manager replied his own absurdity: I must pay to avoid any service interruption.

[Jonathan Karp @karpjonathan]

Don’t get your hopes up that @ATTHelp will actually help. Three days of pure frustration and excuses.

[Nick Bilton @nickbilton]

They need to create a Pulitzer category for headlines just for whoever wrote this.

[Jonathan Karp @karpjonathan]

Welcome your thoughts on @ATTTechsupport1. Reported a dead line 10/16; technician didn’t show up 10/23; had to chase AT&T to reschedule for 11/1; tech couldn’t remove manhole cover & said he’d return; had to chase AT&T again today and was told a team couldn’t return until 11/30!

As a Muslim feminist, I made a pilgrimage today to the #RallyForIsrael on the Mall and then the White House. I plucked the sign I appreciated the most: “Free Palestinians from Hamas.”

When I was at the White House there last, I was pinned with my back against the iron fence of the White House, a raging #WokeArmy of leftists and Islamists shouting war cries of “From the river to the sea, Palestine is Arab,” blood-lust in the air, keffiyehs masking faces. Red and black.

It was a different scene today: faces visible, sobriety, somberness. Blue and white.

The psychology is so different and it pains me to remember the way ideologues and extremists whipped young Muslim kids in America even into a dangerous frenzy. And how they continue to foment rage with cries of “Allahu Akbar.”

Both days, I wore my uniform since Oct. 7: the Israel Defense Forces hoodie I purchased at a Palestinian second-hand shop in the West Bank, my newspaper jacket and the rational thought inherited from my parents.

In the @TheMuslimReform, we say we must free Palestinians from Hamas. We must free Muslims from Hamas. We must free Muslims from extremism. So we can embrace peace. And express an Islam of grace. And create a world of grace.

A tiny Alabama newspaper broke a story about a grand-jury investigation. The local prosecutor responded by charging the reporter and publisher with a crime, alarming press advocates. Latest by me: https://t.co/mIo75iY6WB

@McFaul East West Street by @philippesands. On the origins of “genocide” and “crimes against humanity” as legal concepts and the tussle over which to use at the Nuremberg trials.

[Tom Nagorski @TomNagorski]

#Israel suffered its own "9/11"; the global empathy and support haven't lasted long. https://t.co/UCYoP8VSrg
