Individual strength can be impressive.
And yet: collective strength + collective action = transformative comminity change.
I love those who help us discover how powerful we can be together.
16 September 1908 | A Polish Jewish woman, Fanny Cukier, was born in Radom. She emigrated to France.
In August 1942 she was deported to #Auschwitz with her daughters Ginette and Irene. After the selection they were murdered in a gas chamber.
So today is my daughter's 13th birthday. She has some special needs and struggles making friends and social interactions, so far none of them have RSVPd for her birthday party. Could I ask for some #Happybirthday messages and where you're from?
Suleika and I are so grateful to be honored by the @BKLYNlibrary tonight for our musical and literary contributions! Though @suleikajaouad can’t attend tonight, I am very pleased to accept the award on our behalf and look forward addressing the community this evening. So proud!❤️
Our hearts are with Buffalo. We know the pain you feel.
Don’t let them tell you it’s just “crazy” or unpredictable.
Crazy is allowing white supremacists to buy weapons of war.
Predictable until we change our laws & reject politicians who traffic in “invasion” & “replacement”.
I just talked to an 8-year-old girl who hid in a cooler inside the grocery store.
She was shopping with her dad and ran out the back of the store to safety.
8 years old. @WKBW
Tonight my heart is with my neighbors in Buffalo who are feeling unimaginable pain due to a white supremacist.
We'll be there for the families affected by this act of terrorism. And we'll ensure law enforcement has what they need to prosecute the shooter to the fullest extent.
Buffalo NY supermarket shooter Payton Gendron states in his 180 page manifesto to being an antisemite and white supremacist - “I wish all JEWS to HELL”.
Gendron murdered 10 people.
Meeting with law enforcement for the latest on the horrific white supremacist shooting in Buffalo.
Grateful for the swift actions of everyone involved in the response & holding close the memory of the security guard who was killed trying to stop the shooter. A true hero.
.@nyspolice has set up a family unification site in Buffalo for those separated from loved ones in the wake of today’s shooting. The site is located at Makowski Early Childhood Center, 1095 Jefferson Ave. in Buffalo.
I am closely monitoring the shooting at a grocery store in Buffalo. We have offered assistance to local officials. If you are in Buffalo, please avoid the area and follow guidance from law enforcement and local officials.
