Members of the Iranian Jewish community inspect what is left of their synagogue in Tehran after Israel bombed it. On Passover...

I am dismayed. Active and serious negotiations have yet again been undermined. Neither the interests of the United States nor the cause of global peace are well served by this. And I pray for the innocents who will suffer. I urge the United States not to get sucked in further. This is not your war.

[SorayaSarhaddiNelson @sorayanelson]

Toasting American democracy.

@Uber_Support You did not address the matter privately before when I asked other than to say you would talk to the driver to make sure it didn’t happen again. You also lowered my rating and marked the issue as resolved, so I couldn’t respond. Not the best way to keep customers, I‘m afraid.

[SorayaSarhaddiNelson @sorayanelson]

I canceled my @Uber account, after its driver on my last ride made me uncomfortable with probing or personal questions, among other things. No tip led him to file a false complaint against me, and Uber sent me a warning. Tried to rectify to no avail. @Uber needs to do better.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

The President of the United States just called for the arrest of a sitting Governor.

This is a day I hoped I would never see in America.

I don’t care if you’re a Democrat or a Republican this is a line we cannot cross as a nation — this is an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

You sent your troops here without fuel, food, water or a place to sleep.

Here they are — being forced to sleep on the floor, piled on top of one another.

If anyone is treating our troops disrespectfully, it is you @realDonaldTrump.

Meanwhile in Germany …

Sorry, should have added a “the” before US banana republic. (Yes, English is my mother tongue but I type too fast).

[SorayaSarhaddiNelson @sorayanelson]

How long until my U.S. citizenship is revoked because I was born in the US to immigrant parents with a green card and student visa and am a journalist who worked for public radio and mainstream media? The Constitution and rule of law have no meaning in US banana republic.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

MAGA is making the claim that if you watch the entire 50 minute video, Zelensky is the antagonist.

This isn't true. At all. I was with Zelensky before this meeting and it's important to know his mindset heading in.

1/ A short 🧵on how the entire ambush went down.

[SorayaSarhaddiNelson @sorayanelson]

@StuHirsch World War III, as Trump put it. Except he’s starting it.

[SorayaSarhaddiNelson @sorayanelson]

Trying to keep up with the craziness will give you whiplash.

Pondering. (Photo taken at “Teufelsmauer” or Devil’s Wall in Saxony-Anhalt).
