I keep deleting Twitter from my phone to avoid getting sucked into the feed, then re-downloading it just to post something. So I built an app that lets me post without opening X. No feed. No distractions. Just type and post. What feature should I add next?

I spent a summer in high school trying (and failing) to build an iPhone app for a local flower company. This weekend, I built my first app in a few hours. I don’t think people realize how fast things are changing.

Thank you, Congressman Hoyer, for your service to our nation and for your support in this race. We will continue to build upon your work and deliver for the people of Maryland’s 5th.
With deep respect for his character, admiration for his experience & faith in his ability—I’m proud to endorse @AdrianBoafoMD for MD05. Adrian has proven his ability to deliver results. I’m excited to pass the baton to a public servant who will continue these efforts in Congress.

Like many of you I have been watching what is happening in Iran. The courage of the people there is unmistakable. They are asking for dignity. They are asking to live freely and safely. I admire their bravery and I stand with them. In moments like this there are no complex

BREAKING: Beth Israel Synagogue in Jackson, Mississippi 🇺🇸, the city’s only synagogue, was set on fire during Shabbat. Two Torah scrolls were destroyed. Five more were damaged. And it’s impossible to ignore the history: this is the same synagogue that was bombed by the Ku Klux

I really hope @AdrianBoafoMD jumps into the race - and I’d gladly be one of the first to donate. He’s exactly the kind of rising, capable leader we need in Congress.
Steny Hoyer has dedicated his life to delivering for Maryland families and made us all proud as he rose to be known among America’s most accomplished statesmen. As Leader Hoyer’s campaign manager, I saw up close his distinct warmth toward everyone he encountered, his dedication

Ahmed al Ahmed is an unbelievably courageous hero. God bless him. We should celebrate heroes but not count on them. We need bold action by leaders around the world to stop the violence, the antisemitism and the hatred.
HEROIC: A civilian stopped one of the terrorists and took his gun, saving countless lives. What a hero!

Simchat Torah: October 7 massacre ✡️ Yom Kippur: Murder at Manchester synagogue ✡️ Chanukah: Pogrom at Bondi Beach party ✡️ I'm starting to sense a pattern...And it doesn't really look like just "principled anti-Zionism" to me.

Every local mayor and governor around the world should attend major hanukah lighting celebrations tonight with a show of force, security, and support. If there’s a central lesson to Chanukah it’s that the answer to darkness is always more light.

In 1931 in Kiel, Germany, Rachel Posner, the wife of a rabbi, took this picture. On the back of the photograph she wrote: “‘Death to Judah,’ so the flag says. ‘Judah lives forever,’ so the light answers.” The light will continue to answer the darkness. Happy Hanukkah.

Chabad Rabbi Eli Schlanger shared this last Hanukkah. Tonight I’ll light my menorah for Rabbi Eli, Holocaust survivor Alex Kleytman, and those murdered in the Bondi antisemitic terrorist attack. They try to extinguish our Jewish light. We’ll keep lighting it. Am Yisrael Chai.

The warning signs were there. Synagogues torched. Jewish homes and businesses vandalized. Jews abused and assaulted. Today it was Sydney. Tomorrow it will be somewhere else. Any government that doesn't resolutely combat antisemitism—or, worse, contributes to it—is complicit.

Tonight there will be public Menorah lightings all over NYC. Every attendee will have the Australia massacre on their minds. People question why we are fearful. The answer is there are people in this world who hate Jews and are a willing to kill for it. Remember this. Denounce
