I just want to make a few things clear:
The Holocaust happened.
Hitler was a demonic figure.
And instead of giving it a platform, our political leaders should be calling out and rejecting antisemitism wherever it hides.
Silence is complicity.

Even though there was only enough employees to keep Twitter going for a single day, the tweets continued tweeting for eight wondrous nights, leading the sages to declare a miracle

These are elementary school children who woke up this morning. Who ate their favorite cereal. Who tied their shoes in double knots. Who laughed with friends on the bus. Now more than a dozen are dead. This isnāt normal. It doesnāt have to be this way. It canāt keep being this way

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isnāt just insanityāitās inhumanity.

On International #HolocaustRemembranceDay and the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Berkenau, we remember the six million lives taken during this atrocity. Year-round, we commit to standing with our Jewish and other marginalized loved ones, colleagues, & followers (1/2)

One of the best ways to honor Dr. King's legacy is to take action to help protect voting rights in our country. Text āMLKā to 56005 and @WhenWeAllVote will send some details you can use to call elected officials today and urge them to pass the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act.

We are thankful and relieved that after a harrowing day all hostages at Congregation Beth Israel are out and safe. This incident is a potent reminder of the threat antisemitism poses to civil society and to Jewish communities around the world. Together we are #strongerthanhate
