Watching the inauguration, I just want to know who all the cute kids are in the audience
Love Kamala's coat. This is going to be the thread where I make non-newsy comments.
There are *a lot* of really nice coats, but I think Hunter Biden's baby's plaid coat wins.
Obviously Lady Gaga is knocking this out of the park. Her outfit and hair are great too - has her personal flair without being too crazy for the event. Play ball!
Remember when Jessica Simpson sang at the Bush inauguration?
I don’t know whose idea it was for JLo to sing a folk song. She’s not *bad* but there are better songs for her that would have been appropriate for this occasion.
There we go, America the Beautiful. Better song for JLo.
Spanish message about liberty and justice for all is great, but the “Let’s Get Loud” was an unnecessary ego trip for the inauguration.
Aww Jill crying is so sweet
To all the trolls who are going to ask why I didn’t do this for the Trump inauguration, I gave birth to a baby the night before.
It's a good speech, and it's the right speech for this time.
Garth Brooks is a Republican and has apparently performed for every president since Carter, except Reagan: esquire.com/entertainment/…
My greatest hope for America and the Biden administration is that the next four years will be boring.

J Street, New Israel Fund, Americans for Peace Now, Habonim Dror North America, T'ruah & others released a statement opposing the IHRA definition of antisemitism saying it has "potential for misuse." Dozens of governments have adopted the definition since it came out in 2016. 1/

The progressive orgs oppose the "contemporary examples" of antisemitism, like claiming “the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor." 3/3
Apparently deleted or maybe I'm blocked. Anyway...the average Israeli would have no idea that Telegram has anything to do with Nazis, and also, people are leaving Whatsapp for Telegram bc of the new privacy rules.
Oh also, in Israel, Telegram is famous for being a place to buy weed. Here's a podcast about that: israelstory.org/episode/milk-h…
#BREAKING Israel establishes ties with Bhutan. Signing to take place tonight.
More details on Israel and Bhutan normalization here. Bhutan only has full diplomatic relations with 53 other countries! jpost.com/international/…
This is the result of several years of growing ties between Israel and Bhutan, a Buddhist kingdom in the Himilayas, which intentionally limits its relations with the world to preserve its culture and environment.
In a few minutes, Netanyahu is expected to light Hanukkah candles at the Kotel with Amb. Friedman, and comment on normalization with Morocco.
Netanyahu said the citizens of Israel are getting the "great light of peace" for Hanukkah.
Netanyahu: Everyone knows the warm ties of the kings of Morocco and Moroccan ppl to the Jewish community there. 100s of 1000s of Jews moved from Morocco to Isreal and they form a living bridge between the ppl of those countries. This is the foundation on which we build this peace
