    In past few years, I shared my struggled as an entrepreneur. But what I’ve never shared at length is the deeply personal experiences and struggles that I gone through. I have had the chance to speak with @humansofny. I hope you’d enjoy reading it. ❤️🙏🏽

    This can only happen in the US! Former Obama admin. national security official Stuart Seldowitz arrested yesterday for hate crime against Egyptian street vendor. Upon finding, New Yorkers rushed to support and buy food from his ‘Halal Cart’. Also, the woman who threw coffee

    Last week it was Brad Pitt. This week, it is @aliaa08 spotted wearing @Atoms masks. Being a desi founder and a fan of some of Bollywood movies, this is immensely exciting for me to see :)

    Who is buying all these masks for Brad Pitt? 🤔

    Well done @adidas team for copying @WearAtoms box design. It took our small team months of struggle to get it right and this is just lazy theft. cc @kustoo

    .@Atoms hit profitability early this year! 🎉 In Q4, 2022 we had <6 months runway, onboarded a bad logistics partner, customers did not get their holidays orders on time, team morale was low. A close friend advised me to shut down Atoms. Here's what we did instead.

    Keith Rabois’ friends should check on him. The guy is in deep sh**t.

    It was before your time. And our taxes already go there instead of helping struggling Americans, so you can also do that. Truth is that you don’t believe any of your accusations here against me. You’re just a sad little child lashing out. I’m done wasting my time on you.

    This is so tragic and horrific to witness. A father is kissing, hugging, and saying goodbye to his baby girl, her body wrapped in plastic and then in a white sheet, ready to be buried. And then you see that this man has actually lost two children, probably around the ages of 2

    Shaun, there are only 14.3M Palestinians in the world and of whom 5.3M live in occupied West Bank and Gaza. Majority of them are living as refugees all over the world. 2.2M who are in Gaza are under heavy bombardment since last 30 days. 1M of them are just ‘children’ and Israel
    Why am I so vocal on the Israel-Gaza conflict right now? Let's do some napkin math There are only ~15M Jews in the world Of those, 6M live in Israel. Most of them are busy fighting a War There are about 3M in extreme minority positions (750k in France, 600k in Russia, etc)

    I invite tech community who are utterly disappointed and feeling scared by reading tweets of tech VCs & tech bros that are intimidating, forceful and one sided morality lecture, to speak up openly and call them out. Share how do you feel when children are dying no matter which

    That is not true, Alexis. It is a propaganda statement from the White House to keep people feeding the fear and create distractions for the cause. Jews students themselves are protesting. In fact, every protest in NYC is attended by a large group of Jews yo this day.
    Tonight at Columbia Jewish students led a full Shabbat service at the Gaza solidarity encampment. Minutes later Muslim students had their evening prayer service. All surrounded by love. Please do let the world know: there are ways to live that aren’t being a paranoid bigot.
