I'm excited to share that my book, Life at the Speed of Play, will be out in June. I've spent the last 5 years writing so I can share my lessons and stories around building products and scaling companies.

@Kasparov63 Yep

America is sliding into the political impasse of the Spanish Civil War, when one is forced to choose between Commies and Fascists, with moderates in the middle despised and marginalized by both.

TERRIFYING: The Shia Muslim mosque of Dearborn declares its support for the Islamic Regime in Iran, calling the U.S. a nation of ‘Devil-worshippers.’ “America was built by Devil-worshipers. The Statue of Liberty represents Lucifer. Ayatollah Khamenei was the greatest leader of our time. We want our children to grow up with this jihad culture!” The enemy within.

@syracruise61 @VividProwess And that was debunked.

@syracruise61 @VividProwess I did. Grok says its a conspiracy theory which was debunked yrs ago. Nice try. Compared to an entire city celebrating youve got one debunked theory of 5 guys and you call that Israel.

@markpinc @VividProwess 5 of them in New Jersey. Ask Grok.

America lost 2,977 innocent Americans on 9/11. This is how Palestinians celebrated on that horrific day.

@lamps_apple Im so impressed with your freedom of thought and pure curiosity and willingness to see truths even when the group tells you otherwise. These are blue pill moments. We cant unsee them. Welcome to the truly free world my friend.

I knew nothing about Israel. I had never met anyone from Israel or anyone who told me they was Jewish. I held absolutely no loyalty, emotional attachment, or personal connection to Israel. Two or three years ago, it was easy for me to believe what nearly everyone around me in Massachusetts was saying. I was souring on Israel. Then one night, I opened Snapchat’s Snap Map and discovered that I could scroll over to Gaza and watch videos posted by people on the ground. What I saw completely changed my perspective. I saw massive amounts of American aid being sold by Hamas. Baby formula was going for $50. They were selling the aid we had sent them. I watched people stage propaganda and begin performing on cue. I saw streets filled with food while the media insisted that everyone was starving to death. I saw men wearing expensive new clothes, with perfectly trimmed beards, plucked eyebrows, and fresh haircuts. Every second or third post contained a propaganda video and someone begging for money through a website called Chuffed(.)org. I clicked on one fundraiser, and it had already received $27,000. Every day, I spent about 20 minutes watching these posts. Nearly every fundraising link I opened had received thousands of dollars. What was happening became immediately clear to me. Since then, I have learned far more about Islamist propaganda and the reality of antisemitism. When this is finally over, I believe Gaza will be remembered as the largest Islamic financial scam in modern history. It exploited antisemitism and the West’s suicidal empathy, creating a mass delusion that has completely rotted people’s ability to recognize what is directly in front of them.

This is so true.

@VanJones68 Bravo Van! Keep stating these truths. When nobody listens. When you get shouted down. You represent mainstream center left America even if theyre getting gamed and shouted down.

I'm tired of being told that, to be a progressive, I now must swear allegiance to crazy ideas. I'm a strong Democrat, with a winning bipartisan track record. I'm rooted in progressive ideals and policies: criminal justice reform, Green New Deal, Medicare for All, free education, clean air and water. These are ideas I have fought for my entire adult life. But some people in groups like the DSA are pushing an agenda FAR outside those ideals. Supporting Hamas is not progressive. "No police, no prisons, no borders" is not progressive. Celebrating the murder of Israeli civilians is not progressive. These ideas are REGRESSIVE. If there were no police or prisons, if anyone in your neighborhood could do whatever they wanted, while politicians cheered on terror groups — would that represent PROGRESS to you? No, that would be a step back. Those are REGRESSIVE ideas. On the other hand, if everybody could see a doctor when they got sick, get a good, free education and breathe clean air — would that represent progress? Yes. Those are PROGRESSIVE ideas. They are NOT the same thing. And the difference matters. Some defend the far left by claiming they only want Nordic-style social democracy. If that were true, I might applaud them. I want those policies, too! But what does universal healthcare have to do with Hamas? With abolishing all law enforcement? With erasing all borders? With treating every wealthy person as a villain? Ideas matter. And these are terrible ideas. Right now, extremists are trying to sneak backwards proposals into our party, hoping mainstream Democrats are too frustrated with MAGA and the Democratic Party establishment to notice. But we see you. Yes, we want our Democratic Party to be a big tent. But we don’t need "party poopers. So STOP pooping in the punch bowl — and telling us the turds are ice cubes. They aren't. And we are smart enough to know the difference. 💩

@syracruise61 @VividProwess Why do you spread lies like this?

@VividProwess @markpinc So did some Israelis

@nfergus Yes. But maybe you never had a chance.

The goal of my entire career as an historian was to ensure that citizens learned the lessons of history—including the vital lesson that antisemitic rhetoric can be translated into genocidal reality if it is adopted by a modern state. Yet today, as AI permeates social networks, anti-history is spreading like a cancer. The Holocaust is either denied or derided. I have to admit: I failed utterly.

@mynameiskakkar @ridhimachopra30 @eatmywords Whats the best way to soread my book in india?

In the past week, Iran has attacked Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, the UAE, Iraq, and Jordan. The UN hasn’t issued a single condemnation. Weird.

@RoKhanna @NickKristof @Morning_Joe Btw this is claude response and not mine.

“Hearing people who attacked you reminded me of @NickKristof… He was called a Palestinian propagandist. He was accused of lying, accused of making up facts, and now the Wall Street Journal basically confirms everything.” Thanks to @Morning_Joe for having me on.

The @WSJ Editorial Board rightly asks "How is it a U.S. “value” to disarm an ally fighting against murderous enemies that fire rockets on civilian towns?" "The vote by 103 House Democrats on Wednesday to block U.S. arms to Israel as it fights a multifront war is a shocking abandonment of an ally. It’s a sign of the rapid conquest of the Democratic Party by its anti-Israel wing... Israel has violated no U.S. laws we know of. As for U.S. interests, Israel is fighting by the side of the U.S. against Iran and fighting alone against Iran’s proxies that have killed Americans. The defense relationship with Israel is a U.S. military advantage that helps maintain America’s technological edge over adversaries. When Democrats are voting to abandon even Iron Dome missile defense, this is self-sabotage out of anti-Israel animus. It’s one thing to oppose Mr. Trump’s war on Iran, but it’s a far more radical step to cut loose a steadfast ally." wsj.com/opinion/israel…
