If you missed it, here's video of my discussion with Ali Velshi on MSNBC about #Project2025's plan to destroy unions and weaken worker protections. Ali is a leader in educating us about this right-wing blueprint for a Trump Administration. Watch: msnbc.com/ali-velshi/wat…

We are heartbroken and outraged at the news that Hersh Goldberg-Polin and five other hostages were killed in the hands of Hamas. As President Biden and Secretary Blinken just said, we will not rest until all of the hostages are home. We grieve with Jon and Rachel Goldberg-Polin

We all wake up to the horrible news of six more dead hostages found, killed by Hamas. One of them is Carmel Gat. Since 7/10 we at the embassy had stood with her family fighting for her release. Now there is only deepest sadness. Our hearts go out to all the bereaved families.

Hersh was not “found dead” He was a young man who was very much alive on October 7. Terrorists blew off his arm before abducting him and holding him hostage for over 300 days. Hersh was murdered. Murdered. Shame on every news outlet that doesn’t make that clear.

Tel Aviv streets were full tonight after this morning's devastating news. The Histadrut announced a nationwide strike over the failed #hostage deal. All Israeli research universities will join. And good sign from abroad: Black Lives Matter (BLM) shows solidarity with the hostages.

As a former teacher, nothing beats that first day of school feeling. It’s all about hope and possibility. Wishing all students and teachers a great school year!

Ausgerechnet bei den Übersetzern zu kürzen - ein Plan von ausgesuchter Dämlichkeit, gerichtet gegen die Arbeit von drei Jahrzehnten und eine funktionierende Infrastruktur, Verkehrswege des Literarischen. Hohn und Pfiffe sollten die Verantwortlichen auf der Buchmesse empfangen

The march has joined the main rally on Begin Street. Current estimate of over 350,000 demonstrators, and thousands are still walking in from every direction. From now on the hostages demonstration and the anti-government rally are combined.
