Tesla invades the White House With Tesla being overrun by protesters at dealerships, Donald Trump made sure to support Musk's company by making the White House into a Tesla showroom.

The great danger -- the great danger -- wasn't the perpetrator, it was the indifference of the witness.

(Translated from Hebrew) As the Sukkot holiday begins, we are happy to congratulate the dozens of new families joining the Jewish settlement in the City of David these days. We salute the Zionist work of those engaged in this work. Strengthening the Jewish presence in Jerusalem is the challenge for all of us, and in the act of settlement, you raise our stature. Together with you, we will welcome the pilgrims who visit the holiday. We appreciate and cherish them.

Seeing him speak in person in my undergrad days is something I'll never forget.

If you ever wondered how the people of Germany didn't stop Hitler, look around you.

Silence is complicity.

Rise up! Speak up! #Resist
