Threatening to target power plants and other non-military targets is not strength. If those words become orders to destroy civilian infrastructure with no valid military purpose, it’s hard to see how they would not violate the laws of armed conflict. America leads best with strength, discipline, and professionalism. Illegal orders to make civilians suffer would be a black mark on our military and our country.

🚨PROFESSOR JIANG: "I've been to a lot of countries in the world and I'd say that America is the least racist country in the world because regardless of America's racist past Americans have a deep respect for hard work and talent. America is the only country in the world where you can come as a nobody and open a restaurant and become a millionaire. I know because I have relatives who have done that. You couldn't do that in China. You couldn't do that in Europe. You couldn't do that anywhere else. I understand that there's a racist past in America, that of slavery, that of the indigenous people, but you can't forget that America is still probably the most open and generous society in the world."

On Easter morning, this is what President Trump posted. Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness. I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit. I’m not defending Iran but let’s be honest about all of this. The Strait is closed because the US and Israel started the unprovoked war against Iran based on the same nuclear lies they’ve been telling for decades, that any moment Iran would develop a nuclear weapon. You know who has nuclear weapons? Israel. They are more than capable of defending themselves without the US having to fight their wars, kill innocent people and children, and pay for it. Trump threatening to bomb power plants and bridges hurts the Iranian people, the very people Trump claimed he was freeing. On Easter, of all days, we as Christians should be reminded that the son of God died and rose from the grave so that we can be forgiven once and for all of our sins. Jesus commanded us to love one another and forgive one another. Even our enemies. Our President is not a Christian and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians. Christians in the administration should be pursuing peace. Urging the President to make peace. Not escalating war that is hurting people. This NOT what we promised the American people when they overwhelmingly voted in 2024, I know, I was there more than most. This is not making America great again, this is evil.

Your nephew is a creep, you absolutely should’ve settled, and now you will almost certainly lose the case because you just publicly admitted that he had, in fact, made inappropriate comments. Also, your lawyer is now really pissed at you.
Bill Ackman@BillAckman

I am reaching out to the @X community for advice with the likely risk of sharing TMI. I have been sufficiently upset about the whole matter that I have lost sleep thinking about it and I am hoping that this post will enable me to get this matter off my chest. By way of background, I started a family office called TABLE about 15 years ago and hired a friend who had previously managed a family office, and years earlier, had been my personal accountant. She is someone that I trusted implicitly and consider to be a good person. The office started small, but over the last decade, the number of personnel and the cost of the office grew massively. The growth was entirely on the operational side as the investment team has remained tiny. While my investment portfolio grew substantially, the investments I had made were almost entirely passive and TABLE simply needed to account for them and meet capital calls as they came in. While TABLE purchased additional software and other systems that were supposed to improve productivity, the team kept increasing in size at a rapid rate, and the expenses continued to grow even faster. While I would periodically question the growing expenses and high staff turnover, I stayed uninvolved with the office other than a once-a-year meeting when I briefly reviewed the operations and the financials and determined bonus compensation for the President and the CFO. I spent no time with any of the other employees or the operations. The whole idea behind TABLE was that it would handle everything other than my day job so that I would have more time for my job and my family. Over the last six years, expenses ballooned even further, employee turnover accelerated, and I became concerned that all was not well at TABLE. It was time for me to take a look at what was going on. Nearly four years ago, I recruited my nephew who had recently graduated from Harvard and put him to work at Bremont, a British watchmaker, one of my only active personal investments to figure out the issues at the company and ultimately assist in executing a turnaround. He did a superb job. When he returned from the UK late last year after a few years at Bremont, I asked him to help me figure out what was going on with TABLE. When I explained to TABLE’s president what he would be doing, she became incredibly defensive, which naturally made me more concerned. My nephew went to work by first meeting with each employee to understand their roles at the company and to learn from them what ideas they had on how things could be improved. He got an earful. Our first step in helping to turn around TABLE was a reduction in force including the president and about a third of the team, retaining excellent talent that had been desperate for new leadership. Now here is where I need your advice. All but one of the employees who were terminated acted professionally and were gracious on the way out (excluding the president who had a notice period in her contract, is currently still being paid, and with whom I have not yet had a discussion). The highest compensated terminated employee other than the president, an in-house lawyer (let’s call her Ronda), told us that three months of severance was not enough and demanded two years’ severance despite having worked at the company for only two and one half years. When I learned of Ronda's request for severance, I offered to speak with her to understand what she was thinking, but she refused to do so. A few days ago, we received a threatening letter from a Silicon Valley law firm. In the letter, Ronda’s counsel suggests that her termination is part of longstanding issues of ‘harassment and gender discrimination’ – an interesting claim in light of the fact that Ronda was in charge of workplace compliance – and that her termination was due to: “unlawful, retaliatory, and harmful conduct directed towards her. Both [Ronda] and I [Ronda’s lawyer] have spoken with you about [Ronda’s] view of what a reasonable resolution would include given the circumstances. Thus far, TABLE has refused to provide any substantive response. This letter provides the last opportunity to reach a satisfactory agreement. If we cannot do so, [Ronda] will seek all appropriate relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.” The letter goes on to explain the basis for the “unsafe work environment” claim at TABLE: “In early 2026, Pershing Square’s founder Bill Ackman installed his nephew in an unidentified role at TABLE, Ackman’s family office. [His nephew]—whose only work experience had been for TABLE where he was seconded abroad for the last four years to a UK watch company held by Ackman—began appearing at TABLE’s offices and conducting interviews of employees without a clear explanation of his role or the purposes of these interviews. During this period, he made a series of inappropriate and genderbased [sic] comments to multiple employees that created an unsafe work environment. Among other things, [his nephew] made remarks about female employees’ ages (“Tell me you are nowhere near 40”), physical appearance (“Your body does not look like you have kids”), as well as intrusive questions about family planning and sexual orientation (“Who carried your son? Who will carry your next child?”). These incidents were reported to senior leadership at TABLE and Pershing Square. Rather than being addressed appropriately, the response from senior management reflected, at best, willful blindness to the inappropriateness of [his nephew]’s remarks and, at worst, tacit endorsement.” The above allegations about my nephew had previously been brought to my attention by TABLE’s president when they occurred. When I learned of them, I told the president that I would speak to him directly and encouraged her to arrange for him to get workplace sensitivity training. The president assured me that she would do so. When I spoke to my nephew, he explained what he actually had said and how his actual remarks had been received, not at all as alleged in the legal letter from Ronda’s counsel. I have also spoken to others at the lunch table who confirmed his description of the facts. In any case, he meant no harm, was simply trying to build rapport with other employees, and no one, as far as I understand, was offended. Ironically, Ronda claims in her legal letter that TABLE didn’t take HR compliance seriously, yet Ronda was in charge of HR compliance at TABLE and the person who gave my nephew his workplace sensitivity training after the alleged incidents. In any case, Ronda, as head of compliance, should have kept a record or raised an alarm if indeed there was pervasive harassment or other such problems at the company, and there is no evidence whatsoever that this is true. So why does Ronda believe she can get me to pay her nearly $2 million, i.e., two years of severance, nearly one year of severance for each of her years at the company? Well, here is where some more background would be helpful. Over the last two months, I have been consumed with a major family medical issue – one of my older daughters had a massive brain hemorrhage on February 5th and has since been making progress on her recovery – and I am in the midst of a major transaction for my company which I am executing from a hospital room office next to her . While the latter business matter is publicly known, the details of my daughter’s situation are only known to Ronda because of her role at our family office. Now, let’s get back to the subject at hand. Unfortunately, while New York and many other states have employment-at-will, there has emerged an industry of lawyers who make a living from bringing fake gender, race, LGBTQ and other discrimination employment claims in order to extract larger severance payments for terminated employees, and it needs to stop. The fake claim system succeeds because it costs little to have a lawyer send a threatening letter and nearly all of the lawyers in this field work on contingency so there is no or minimal cash cost to bring a claim. And inevitably, nearly 100% of these claims are settled because the public relations and legal costs of defending them exceed the dollar cost of the settlement. The claims are nearly always settled with a confidentiality agreement where the employee who asserts the fake claims remains anonymous and as a result, there is no reputational cost to bringing false claims. The consequences of this sleazy system (let’s call it ‘the System’) are the increased costs of doing business which is a tax on the economy and society. There are other more serious problems due to the System. Unfortunately, the existence of an industry of plaintiff firms and terminated employees willing to make these claims makes it riskier for companies to hire employees from a protected class, i.e., LGBTQ, seniors, women, people of color etc. because it is that much more reputationally damaging and expensive to be accused of racism, sexism, and/or intolerance for sexual diversity than for firing a white male as juries generally have less sympathy for white males. The System therefore increases the risk of discrimination rather than reducing it, and the people bringing these fake claims are thereby causing enormous harm to the other members of these protected classes. So what happened here? Ronda was vastly overpaid and overqualified for the job that she did at TABLE. She was paid $1.05 million plus benefits last year for her work which was largely comprised of filling out subscription agreements and overseeing an outside law firm on closing passive investments in funds and in private and venture stage companies, some compliance work, and managing the office move from one office to another. She had a very good gig as she was highly paid, only had to go into the office three days a week, and could work from anywhere during the summer. Once my nephew showed up and started to investigate what was going on, she likely concluded that there was a reasonable possibility she would be terminated, as her job was in the too-easy-and-to-good-to-be-true category. The problem was that she was not in a protected class due to her race, age or sexual identity so she had to construct the basis for a claim. While she is female and could in theory bring a gender-based discrimination claim, she reported to the president who is female and to whom she is very close, which makes it difficult for her to bring a harassment claim against her former boss. When my nephew complimented a TABLE employee at lunch about how young she looked – in response to saying she was going to her 40-year-old sister’s birthday party, he said ‘she must be your older sister’ – Ronda immediately reported it to our external HR lawyer. She thereby began building her case. The other problem for Ronda bringing a claim is that she was terminated alongside 30% of other TABLE employees as part of a restructuring so it is very difficult for her to say that she was targeted in her termination or was retaliated against. TABLE is now hiring an external fractional general counsel as that is all the company needs to process the relatively limited amount of legal work we do internally. In short, Ronda was eminently qualified and capable and did her job. She was just too much horsepower for what is largely an administrative legal role so she had to come up with something else to bring a claim. Now Ronda knew I was a good target and it was a good time to bring a claim against me. She also knew that I was under a lot of pressure because on March 4th when Ronda was terminated, my daughter had not yet emerged from consciousness, she was not yet breathing on her own, and my daughter and we were fighting for her life. I was and remain deeply engaged in her recovery while at the same time I was working on finishing the closing for the private placement round for my upcoming IPO. Ronda also knew that publicity about supposed gender discrimination and a “hostile and unsafe work environment” are not things that a CEO of a company about to go public wants to have released into the media. And she may have thought that the nearly $2 million she was asking for would be considered small in the context of the reputational damage a lawsuit could cause, regardless of the fact that two years of severance was an absurd amount for an employee who had only worked at TABLE for 30 months. She also likely considered that I wouldn’t want to embarrass my nephew by dragging him into the klieg lights when her claims emerged publicly. So, in summary, game theory would say that I would certainly settle this case, for why would I risk negative publicity at a time when I was preparing our company to go public and also risk embarrassing my nephew. Notably, she hired a Silicon Valley law firm, rather than a typical NY employment firm. This struck me as interesting as her husband works for one of the most prominent Silicon Valley venture firms whose CEO, I am sure, has no tolerance for these kinds of fake claims that sadly many venture-backed companies also have to deal with. I mention this as I suspect her husband likely has been working with her on the strategy for squeezing me as, in addition to being a computer scientist, he is a game theorist. My only advice for him is to understand more about your opponent before you launch your first move. All of the above said, gender, race, LGBTQ and other such discrimination is a real thing. Many people have been harmed and deserve compensation for this discrimination, and these companies and individuals should be punished for engaging in such behavior. Which brings me to the advice I am seeking from the X community. I am not planning to follow the typical path and settle this ‘claim.’ Rather, I am going to fight this nonsense to the end of the earth in the hope that it inspires other CEOs to do the same so we shut down this despicable behavior that is a large tax on society, employment, and the economy and contributes to workplace discrimination rather than reducing it. Do you agree or disagree that this is the right approach?

The world should bookmark and remember this moment, a statement from the US Secretary of State openly acknowledging the punishment of two adult women, not for who they are or for any wrongdoing of their own, but simply because of who they are related to. This alone exposes the hypocrisy and double standards at play. It raises serious questions about how firmly the US truly stands by its stated principles on women’s rights and individual accountability
Secretary Marco Rubio@SecRubio

Until recently, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter were green card holders living lavishly in the United States. Afshar is the niece of deceased Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani. She is also an outspoken supporter of the Iranian regime who celebrated attacks on Americans and referred to our country as the "Great Satan." This week, I terminated both Afshar and her daughter's legal status and they are now in ICE custody, pending removal from the United States. The Trump Administration will not allow our country to become a home for foreign nationals who support anti-American terrorist regimes.

I used to send him my location every night before i slept. Not because he asked. Just so he knew i was home safe. He never replied. Not once. No “okay.” No “received.” Nothing. I just assumed he did not notice. One night my phone died before i could send it. I thought nothing of it, because he never acknowledges anyways. At 1am i woke up to 14 missed calls. And one text. “You didn’t send it. I’m outside.” I opened my door and he was there. Standing in the dark. I said “it was just my phone.” He said “I know. I came anyway.”

🚨 do you understand what New York City just accidentally admitted.. NYC spent $81,705 per homeless person last year.. the median American household earned $81,228.. the government spent MORE to keep someone homeless than most families earned to keep themselves housed.. that $81,705 isn't going to the homeless person.. it's going to the system around them.. shelters, administrators, case managers, contracts, overhead.. the industry that manages homelessness.. not the end of it.. if NYC gave every homeless person that money directly.. they could afford nearly 2 years of rent.. most of them wouldn't be homeless anymore.. instead the money goes to the system.. the system keeps running.. the homelessness stays.. and every year they ask for more funding to manage the problem that the funding was supposed to solve.. the homeless are worth $81,705 a year to the system.. they're worth nothing to it solved..

The Nigerian, David-Hundeyin–infested strand of Pan-Africanism is based on a delusion that borders on the psychotic. Biggest Mack, you say the U.S. has lost the war in Iran. Let’s look at the facts. Since the conflict began on 28 February 2026, Iran has lost: Ayatollah Ali Khamenei: Supreme Leader of Iran (killed in the opening strike on his Tehran compound) Ali Shamkhani: Top national security adviser / Secretary of the Defence Council Mohammad Pakpour: Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Amir (Aziz) Nasirzadeh: Defence Minister Abdolrahim Mousavi: Chief of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Ali Larijani: Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council Esmail Khatib: Intelligence Minister (killed March 18) Gholamreza Soleimani: Commander of the Basij paramilitary force Mohammad Shirazi: Head of the Military Office of the Supreme Leader This is equivalent to Iran killing the: President of the United States National Security Advisor National Security Council leadership United States Secretary of Defense Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff —all within a single month. If Trump and Hegseth were dead in this war, would you still argue that the U.S. is winning? Now let’s talk about the military degradation Iran has suffered: 92% of Iran’s largest naval vessels destroyed Over 90% reduction in ballistic missile launch capability 90–95% reduction in drone and one-way attack launches More than 66% of missile, drone, and naval production facilities destroyed or disabled 60% of total ballistic missile launcher stockpile eliminated Only 8–10% of pre-war offensive missile capacity remains operational 7,800–10,000+ targets struck by U.S. forces alone, achieving air dominance over large areas of Iran What about economic degradation? Projected GDP contraction of 10% for 2026 attributable to the conflict (in addition to pre-existing sanctions damage) Repeated strikes on critical power plants, steel production facilities, ports, and storage infrastructure Steel production capacity reduced by 60% Finally, and most importantly, Arab nations in the region are turning against Iran, calling for its total neutralization. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and Jordan have issued joint statements supporting continued decisive action against Iranian aggression. GCC members have explicitly called for the full degradation of Iran’s missile and drone capabilities, stating that: “Iran’s aggression must be met with a decisive response,” and urging the United States not to stop short of completing the mission. But because you want to libel Alex, you are spreading falsehoods. Alex works for Building Zion, a humanitarian outreach founded in 2023. The logo on their website barely loads; it’s a simple WordPress site. They support persecuted communities in various parts of the world through construction projects. They have rebuilt houses and churches in: Burundi Democratic Republic of Congo Sudan Kenya Nicaragua These are regions with significant persecution, and the structures they build are modest and low-budget. But your desire to spread falsehoods has blinded you. And do you know the saddest part? You posture as intelligent. You are shallow. At least we know David is brilliant, remarkably so, when he chooses to be. The mind that broke stories like Cornflakes for Jihad, Tinubu’s certificate controversy, and the Nigerian Air scandal is clearly capable. Then there’s you - shallow, lacking depth, and desperately trying to project an illusion of erudition, intelligence, and sophistication that you simply do not possess. What a tragedy. Drop the facade and theatrics. It is shameful.

Nigerians, wake up!!! America and Israel are behind what is going on in Nigeria. Who supplies this Alex dude the intelligence to show up at every attack scene before anyone else, and even before Nigerian security forces? He works for Israel and America. His ‘humanitarian’ organization is called Building Zion. Stop falling for this gimmick. They have lost a war in Iran and your country is next target. If you want to end insecurity in Nigeria, sack America now!

@AfamDeluxo Bro spitting facts, but fools in the comments wouldn't agree because they're hungry and simps respectively. The only place I don’t agree with him is going to his house.

There’s a silent mental health crisis brewing in Nigeria that far too many people are ignoring. What we’re witnessing isn’t just behavior, it’s a clear sign of someone struggling and in need of professional help.

@crespobis101 @lekan_olayinka1 Ignorance is a sickness. You are highly ignorant. The F15 is a 40yrs non stealth fighter. If after flying over 4,000 sorties and Iran is lucky to hit 1, it’s nothing to be happy about. But cos you’re highly ignorant, here you are. I’m embarrassed for you

Someone is selling a fully operational winery in Tuscany for €750k ($864k). 9 hectares (22 acres) of land in total. 3 established vineyard hectares, 1 of mature olive trees producing certified organic olive oil, and 5 of cultivated farmland. It already produces 9 wine labels and generates around €50k a year, selling locally only. The winery crafts 4 reds, 3 whites, 1 rosé and 1 passito. The fully equipped cellar and all the machinery are included, so it's a full business that's already running. Above the cellar there's a 3-bedroom apartment, so you live where you work. The property is 5 minutes from Saturnia, home to one of Tuscany's most famous thermal springs. I sent this to one of my clients the other day who's been looking for a project like this, but it's a bit too small for him. This is Tuscany by the way. One of the most famous wine regions on earth. Just wanted to make sure that landed. Curious how much something like this would cost in Napa?

@chef_emem @boltapp Please, the rider ate the food. My 99% of suspension is on the rider. Sending you his account balance is nothing but reverse psychology at play. I’ve seen things like this play out. That’s why I don’t believe the driver.
