In the last few years we've seen:
- The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer
- The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC
- The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi
- Multiple assassination attempts against Trump
- The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of on State Senator John Hoffman and his wife
- Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson
- The assassination of Charlie Kirk
Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all.
The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.
In 2016, I worked for a company that was shutting down. I applied for a job in Lehi, road a train down🚆& sat at a picnic table with @timchaves in a park. He was very fun to talk to because he was extremely smart and really cared about his startup @ZipBooks .
Over the next three years, I watched a masterclass in entrepreneurship as Tim and @jarennichols did their thing. Tim was not a hype man. He was a down to earth 🌎, humble, servant-leader with excellent judgment.
Because of ZipBooks, I made enough to pay off my house. 🏠 …But I didn’t. I somehow knew an opportunity was coming and I wanted to be able to Jump on it and not require income for a while.
Two years ago, when Tim told me he was starting a new startup with @parkerence, I knew this was it. I had lunch with Parker and instantly wanted to be on his team, and that feeling has grown every day. 👊 Working with them is a dream.
The first year of Jump felt like a month watching my bank account drain. 💸 The second year has felt like a decade. We went from 3 cofounders to 50 people in less than a year. Somehow, we’ve convinced a team of savants at their craft to work with us.
We went from wishing for one customer to, some days, wishing they’d stop signing up so fast! 😳 However, I’ve never worked with more awesome users. They are so excited and serious about their clients. They push us hard to make our product better.
My own financial advisor advised me against starting a startup with no pay. 🤣 Without his help it would have been even more stressful. Their work is so important, and I love helping advisors help their clients with something so core to survival and life: money.
Today we’re announcing we’ve raised $20 million to dial Jump to eleven. 🎚️
If you are an advisor or know one, please spread the word about https://t.co/NSvzSymL36. 📣 Thousands of advisors absolutely love it. If you know someone amazing at these jobs: https://t.co/hQSEhaJSGu please have them apply.
If you love seeing Utah businesses win, buckle up!!! 🚀

One Canadian killed by gun violence is one too many. That’s why we’ve banned 1,500 types of military-style assault firearms. And that’s why, today, we’ve introduced legislation to further strengthen gun control in Canada. Thread ⤵️
Schools scared to death.
The truth is, one education under desks,
Stooped low from bullets;
That plunge when we ask
Where our children
Shall live
& how
& if
Introducing CareGame! It's like Wordle, but it's how many day of full childcare you had that week. Here's mine:
2/5
🟥🟩🟩🟥🟥
Bad score this week? Don't worry, you get to play next week too!
🚨 PSA to everyone 🚨
If you work with parents, give them some extra grace, patience and slack this week. Schools are a complete clusterf*ck again, parents are faced with so many tough decisions and the level of multitasking going on right now deserves medals.
Examples here:

Pack your patience! Sunday is expected to be the busiest travel day of the year as millions of Americans take to the roads and skies to return home from #Thanksgiving. @reenaroy has more.
