This was not about harvesting olives.
It was about harvesting headlines.
Brad Lander’s latest stunt is nothing more than a calculated political provocation.
Lander traveled to a foreign country, deliberately entered a restricted security area, and participated in an unauthorized activity without the required coordination.
What makes this stunt even more outrageous is that his own team contacted Israeli representatives in the United States ahead of his visit and was explicitly informed that proper coordination with the relevant authorities was required.
He chose to ignore those instructions.
At a time of heightened security tensions, Israeli security forces have a responsibility to protect lives, prevent dangerous incidents, and maintain public order.
Had anyone been injured as a result of his reckless political theater, Lander would undoubtedly have been among the first to demand that Israeli authorities intervene and provide protection.
Brad Lander came looking for a confrontation. Now he is pretending to be its victim.
The 10 minute rundown he gives of Jewish history from the 1880’s onward culminating in the creation of Israel should be required listening for all. He’s done it in talks before but i think around minute 50 in this interview he does a really succinct version.
@billythalheimer Once we close. There's already one company so far that we'll probably invest into privately before closing then will warehouse into the fund.
This is the America I’m betting on.
Last week on Narragansett Bay, I watched a founder’s dream literally take flight.
@regentcraft Viceroy seaglider completed its fifth flight in front of 600+ investors, customers, government and defense leaders. We were out on ferries watching these extraordinary machines float, foil and fly.
Proud to be an early investor and advisor to REGENT along with @gazi2a.
@billythalheimer and this team including our good friend, Adam are world class.
There’s something deeply personal about backing a founder early and then standing there as their vision lifts off the water. You’re cheering for the machine, sure. But you’re really cheering for the people who made it possible.
What a moment for this crew. What a privilege to witness it.
Onwards to production.
for a long time i said that antisemitism, particularly on the american left, was not as bad as people claimed.
i'd like to just state that i was totally wrong.
i still don't understand it, really. or know what to do about it.
but it is so fucked.
@piersmorgan Spread lies, get called out and then try to change the topic. Quite the journalist you are.
How about you take a look at the evidence then get back to us? https://t.co/ME60FsLrfc
Lesser known things about Starlink.
Whatever you want to call it, on top of being an illuminator of opportunity for detection below, the mega constellation can detect everything *from above*.
A giant, phased array radar in space.
Stealth's dead btw.

@emilyinvc Yes. Unfortunately 10/8 was the rebirth of Jewish hatred in America.
Sometimes it feels like Miami is the last safe place for us outside of Israel.
Its comforting to know that for the rest of their miserable lives, every single perpetrator of the Oct 7 attacks will live in perpetual fear.
