[The Iceman @the_iceman64]

90% of the soldiers on the first boats to hit the beach didn't live to see the end of the day. Look at those faces. Some of them never made it to 18.

Never forget that they paid the ultimate price for our freedom. We live our lives the way we do because of them.

It's Jewish American Heritage Month.

Without Jewish Americans, you wouldn't have:

-Comics
-Hollywood
-Musicals
-Most of your Christmas songs
-Polio vaccine (and other medical miracles)
-Numerous technology
-And the list goes on.

Thank a Jew today!

🚨To every Black person tempted by the antisemitic wave sweeping right now:🚨

Back when white mobs lynched us in the streets...
When we had no money, no power, and literally no movement...

Who stood with us? Who risked everything?

The Jews.

They weren't just allies—they were family in the fight.
- Jewish leaders co-founded the NAACP in 1909 and funded/led it for generations when no one else would.
- When Dr. King and our people were arrested, beaten, jailed—Jewish lawyers defended us for free, and Jewish money paid bail bonds and court fees while others turned away.
- In Freedom Summer '64, half the white volunteers risking death to register Black voters? Jewish.
- Rabbi Heschel marched arm-in-arm with MLK in Selma—our struggles linked forever.

Without their blood, treasure, solidarity, and courage—there is no Civil Rights Movement as we know it. No Voting Rights Act. No dream realized.

That's why I stand with the Jews.
They were our only true friends when this country hated us—when doors slammed shut and ropes hung high. They showed up, bled, and built with us.

So to my people joining this demonic, divisive hate today:

Pause. Remember. Honor the alliance that freed us.

Our histories are bound. Our freedoms were won together.

Betray that, and you betray the very martyrs who died for our rights.

Black-Jewish unity forged the dream. Don't let hate destroy it.

I stand with my Jewish brothers and sisters—always. ✊🏾🤝✡️🇮🇱

Repost if truth > trends. If gratitude > division. If history matters.

As a Jewish woman and mom, why am I so passionate about Iran being free?

Because our histories are deeply intertwined. In 539 BCE, Cyrus the Great liberated the Jews from exile, allowing us to return to Jerusalem and rebuild our Holy Temple. As you once freed us, we long to see you freed today.

Because their oppressor is our oppressor. The IRGC brutally suppresses Iranians at home while funding proxy attacks, sponsoring terrorism, and calling for Israel's destruction abroad. It remains a major force behind anti-Jewish and anti-Israel aggression.

Because we value womanhood as a blessing—and believe women are strong, dignified, and beautiful—not something to conceal or control.

Because a free Iran would mean a safer world and the chance for true friendship between our nations, as in ancient times.

Because for the past 2-3 years when much of the world turned our backs on us, you stood with us, fearlessly, and loyally.

As a mother, I raise my children to stand for justice. As a Jew, I honor our shared history. As a woman, I cannot stay silent.

In our shared dawn, may both our peoples walk unveiled, unafraid, and at peace.

May the lion 🦁 and the sun rise ☀️

@Outlook help! I’ve been locked out of my account since July, sent numerous messages via the online chat, gotten no response. Have items from my father estate that I need to access please help me get into my account.

[Kim D. Shapiro @kimdshapiro]

Appalling. Once again, we cannot just send “thoughts and prayers” ACTION is needed. As a nation, we have grown numb to these shootings. We need some level of gun control. #stopgunviolencenow

Tragedy in Michigan as my brothers and sisters and their church are targets of violence. Praying for healing and comforting.

Israel has twice saved the world from nuclear enemies of the West:

🔸1981: Destroyed Saddam’s reactor in Iraq.
🔸2007: Destroyed Assad’s facilities in Syria.

And now Israel's doing it again by striking Iran’s nuclear program.

This isn’t starting war — it’s preventing one.

[Kim D. Shapiro @kimdshapiro]

Hey @AmericanAir any chance you’re adding an Admiral Club to your terminal at @DetroitAirport closer to the 30’s gates? Would certainly increase comfort

[Kim D. Shapiro @kimdshapiro]

Going to .@DetroitAirport any time in the future, DO NOT rental from .@Budget, they have no office so instead you wait w 50-60 folks to get a car. Not great start to a trip

[Kim D. Shapiro @kimdshapiro]

@BreezeAirways any chance you can look into flying from Lansing, Mi (LAN) to Savannah, GA (SAV). There’s a lot of Michigan folks who live (and vacation) down tin the Savannah/Hilton Head area and not loads of flights

[Kim D. Shapiro @kimdshapiro]

Hitler didn't start off by murdering 6 million Jews, he ended there.

He started by suspending the constitution, made all the other parties illegal, made it illegal to "insult" the regime, and by rounding up all his political opponents.

All things Donald Trump has said. 👆

If this is true, it’s grotesque. #BringThemHomeNow #istandwithisrael

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

“The reporting is that…Trump is on the phone with the PM of Israel urging him not to cut a deal right now because it’s believed that would help the Harris campaign.”

If true, this is a blatant violation of the Logan Act
