I’m so sorry about the targeted terrorist attack in Boulder against the Jewish community. Hate like this can’t be tolerated. We must stand firmly against it—always, in all forms. ⚠️ Friends: be cautious. Graphic and disturbing videos are circulating on social. Take care of yourselves, and stay safe.
