I came to the United States with my family as a child in 1989; we were Jewish refugees from the former USSR. https://twitter.com/ChanZuckerberg/status/1306641421785595905

I simultaneously love this #ImmigrantScientist and am also deeply pained that we need it at this xenophobic political moment. 1/
And the painful part is that the xenophobia isn't just from Trump and Stephen Miller. There are many politicians like @tedcruz fanning these flames today. https://twitter.com/lteytelman/status/1161470957447290882

I find myself tweeting the obvious, more and more, in response to the anti-immigrant assault that has been intensifying under Trump. https://twitter.com/lteytelman/status/1275449358461227009 6/
The USSR wanted to get rid of Jews and effectively did. So now, people like me are contributing to the US, Canada, Israel, etc.

Same w/ #ImmigrantScientist: anti-immigrant fervor gripping the US won't stop science; it will simply undermine America's top position in it. 7/7
