Jewish girl in a limbo and a work in progmess. I tweet in English and write in Hebrew and the result can be messy. My opinions are all I have and they’re all mine.

The guy bullies the Nobel committee. Incredible.

Naaa Biden wasn’t ready to use any leverage against Netanyahu, because he thought being a friend of Israel means supporting whatever the government does, no matter how terrible it is. Trump doesn’t give a shit about Israel or anything else but himself, so he gave Netanyahu an order and that’s it.

He he he so funny.

But they got the deal Joe Biden could have gotten 1.5 years ago, and now this horrendous racist fascist will receive the Nobel prize.

Joe Biden could have done this 1.5 years ago and save America too. What a disastrous legacy.

@realDonaldTrump
I am very proud to announce that Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan. This means that ALL of the Hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace. All Parties will be treated fairly! This is a GREAT Day for the Arab and Muslim World, Israel, all surrounding Nations, and the United States of America, and we thank the mediators from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, who worked with us to make this Historic and Unprecedented Event happen. BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS!
DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Pritzker: "This guy is unhinged. He's insecure. He's a wannabe dictator. And there's one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump. If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me."

Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area ICE facility and began to pray.

The masked ICE agents on the roof responded by firing pepper balls, with one striking him in the head
