Can we please get a big social media push to make me Secretary of the Interior

Someone named destiny has apparently taken shots at me on his program. I’ve never cowered in the face of antisemitism before and there’s no way I’ll start now. If he wants a debate I will give him one

The Democrats lost this election because they ignored the justified anger of working class America and became the defenders of a rigged economy and political system.

Biden is heading straight down the Ruth Bader Ginsberg path of destroying legacy due to thirst of power. It’s time to pass the torch!

Stunning graph: the plummeting tax rates of the richest Americans. For the first time in history, billionaires have a lower effective tax rate than working-class Americans.

@duolingo can I please get my streak repaired! I had a family emergency that required travel and focus.
Is this still possible? It was 530+ and I messaged yesterday about it as well.

@duolingo Hello!
I’ve had some unfortunate life events and lost my 530+ streak.
Please, can this be restored?
I’ve worked so hard on it!

"I’m personally a Holocaust survivor as an infant, I barely survived. My grandparents were killed in Aushwitz and most of my extended family were killed. I became a Zionist; this dream of the Jewish people resurrected in their historical homeland and the barbed wire of Aushwitz being replaced by the boundaries of a Jewish state with a powerful army…and then I found out that it wasn’t exactly like that, that in order to make this Jewish dream a reality we had to visit a nightmare on the local population.

There’s no way you could have ever created a Jewish state without oppressing and expelling the local population. Jewish Israeli historians have shown without a doubt that the expulsion of Palestinians was persistent, pervasive, cruel, murderous and with deliberate intent - that’s what’s called the 'Nakba' in Arabic; the 'disaster' or the 'catastrophe'. There’s a law that you cannot deny the Holocaust, but in Israel you’re not allowed to mention the Nakba, even though it’s at the very basis of the foundation of Israel.

I visited the Occupied Territories (West Bank) during the first intifada. I cried every day for two weeks at what I saw; the brutality of the occupation, the petty harassment, the murderousness of it, the cutting down of Palestinian olive groves, the denial of water rights, the humiliations...and this went on, and now it’s much worse than it was then.

It’s the longest ethnic cleansing operation in the 20th and 21st century. I could land in Tel Aviv tomorrow and demand citizenship but my Palestinian friend in Vancouver, who was born in Jerusalem, can’t even visit!

So then you have these miserable people packed into this, horrible…people call it an 'outdoor prison', which is what it is. You don’t have to support Hamas policies to stand up for Palestinian rights, that’s a complete falsity. You think the worse thing you can say about Hamas, multiply it by a thousand times, and it still will not meet the Israeli repression and killing and dispossession of Palestinians.

And 'anybody who criticises Israel is an anti-Semite' is simply an egregious attempt to intimidate good non-Jews who are willing to stand up for what is true."

Every story in America is now either “Students at MIT demand more inclusive lunch options by holding administrator at knife point” or “Chase Bank will be auctioned off tomorrow.”

There is no excuse for the deletion of text messages from government officials from a day as critical and devastating as January 6, 2021, and the Secret Service’s deletion of texts will continue to seem like a cover-up if more answers aren’t provided.
