Newground, a Muslim-Jewish partnership, has an annual tradition of celebrating Iftar by gathering about 450 people of different faiths to have dinner together. This year, they had to do things differently. They celebrated Ramadan online.

A full-page ad we published this morning in Israel’s most widely read newspaper, @YediotAhronot: The killing of 58 Gazans is the outcome of the occupation and our loss of moral leadership. As soldiers who served there, it’s clear to us: this is not how you disperse demonstrations

“Shocking killing of dozens, injury of hundreds by Israeli live fire in #Gaza must stop now. The right to life must be respected. Those responsible for outrageous human rights violations must be held to account. The int'l community needs to ensure justice for victims” – #Zeid.

Gmorning This feeling will pass. This workload will pass. These people will pass. But look at you, with the gift of memory. You can time travel to the good stuff just by closing your eyes & breathing. Then come right back to now, eyes up for the good stuff ahead. You magic thing.

The NRA is a terrorist organization. The media should speak of the NRA in the same way they do ISIS. Total ISIS-inspired deaths in US = 79. Thanks to the NRA & the politicians they buy, we’ve had 1.2 MILLION American gun deaths since John Lennon was shot dead in NYC #NRAKillsKids
