Mira Ram Hinsdale was born at 5:17 pm on April 13 at 7 pounds and 4 ounces. She shares an auspicious birthday with her great great great grandfather, Sir Ganga Ram, Father of Modern Lahore. Jacob and I are so grateful for the love and support, and for the care at @UVMMedCenter.

While it was not easy to relive, I was proud to stand with other elected officials, particularly women and people of color, in talking about the threats of violence we face in office. I don’t want anyone to weigh running for office against their or their family’s safety.

[Brennan Center @BrennanCenter]

2 in 5 of state legislators and 1 in 6 local officeholders have experienced threats or attacks in recent years, interfering with their ability to do their jobs and posing a risk to our democracy.

Here’s what the gov't should do to protect officeholders: https://t.co/jQH1MdF6ir

From our @ObamaFoundation Scholars to our Voyagers, the leaders I met this week inspired me. They’re organizing in their communities, finding solutions to important challenges, and using their voices to bring about change.

Today and every day, we celebrate the perseverance, strength and beauty of Indigenous communities around the world. Our traditions, cultures and lifeways are here to stay as we build a world where all Indigenous peoples are respected and heard. Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day!

I am proudly Jewish and Hindu. My grandparents were expelled from Pakistan. But today I draw on the words of the Prophet Muhammad: "If the Final Hour comes while you have a shoot of a plant in your hands and it is possible to plant it before the Hour comes, you should plant it."

[Dov Waxman @DovWaxman]

To the people celebrating the mass murder of Israeli civilians, you have lost your humanity. To the people enthusiastically calling for Israel to decimate Gaza, densely populated with 2 million Palestinian civilians, you have lost your humanity. Israelis and Palestinians are real people, just like you and me.

[Sen. Kesha Ram Hinsdale @KeshaRam]

Those who left the greatest impression on me when I visited Israel and the West Bank were the children. They want peace, they want safety, they want life. This violence must end, and all communities must enjoy the right to exist. Im yirzeh Hashem, in sha Allah.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

I absolutely condemn the horrifying attack on Israel by Hamas and Islamic Jihad. There is no justification for this violence, and innocent people on both sides will suffer hugely because of it. It must end now.

[Renewable Energy VT @RE_Vermont]

Great mix of students & professionals at @UVM yesterday to hear about MIT's Dr. John Parsons's groundbreaking work on deep decarbonization.

The big takeaway: Quebec #hydro complements regional #wind & #solar. #BetterTogether

Moving intro by the inspirational Sen @KeshaRam.
