🧵My Latest: People often ask why I seem impatient, defensive, "thinned skin," or constantly on guard online. The last time I was called the N-word wasn't in 2006. It wasn't in 2011.
It was May 29, 2026.
Here's the story most people don't know. . .

The racists and antisemites support the Iran deal.

MAGA brayed for years that Obama gave Iran billions & now it looks like Trump basically gave them 14x that amount of money to settle a fight he started (and he loves our high inflation). It’s just an endless parade of baffling stupid losses when you elect a deeply stupid rapist.

That's true.
The "old" GOP cared about inflation, deficits, employment, US standing in the world, and decency.
This photo is more like the last days of the Roman republic, where the state desperately tried to distract the people from its gross incompetence.
Sad, really.

This level of cultural currency is something the old Republican Party didn’t have.

Understand the concept of "by-and-large" and use approximations. Because our educational system is hung up on precision, the art of being good at approximations is insufficiently valued. This impedes conceptual thinking. #principleoftheday

Americans after paying $300 billion to Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz which was never closed
Jun 14
BREAKING: Iran says the US has agreed to pay $300 billion in reconstruction funds directly to Iran as part of the deal Pakistan announced, alongside the release of $24 billion in frozen funds with $12 billion released before negotiations even start, per Mehr News.
This directly contradicts Trump's & Vance's claim that no funds will be transferred to Iran at all.
If Trump denies this is true, there never was a deal. If Trump confirms, the US has fully capitulated to Iran's demands.

I don't think anybody really grasps how desperate this situation is.
University professors are now saying they are unable to teach history because reading long books and passages is how a person learns history. College kids are incapable of reading more than a few pages.
Some classes don't assign any reading at all now, only lectures.
There is an assumption among the people managing this decline that reading is just a way of receiving information. It isn't. Proper reading is how we build the mental muscle to synthesize ideas and evaluate them.
If the catastrophic decline in reading and literacy is not addressed now, we risk losing everything.
Western civilization cannot survive the death of reading because it was built by people with the kind of cognitive depth that a culture of deep reading brings:
Complex reasoning, extended internal dialogue, the capacity to hold opposing ideas in tension. Our systems and institutions are complex, and they require well ordered minds to maintain them.
Reading forms minds, and the West was built by the richest minds in history.

Elite university students are now incapable of reading a book.
Instead of fixing this, universities are simply reducing reading requirements to shorter and shorter excerpts.
This is no mere literacy crisis. It is a civilizational one.
To fight back, we started an online book club to study the great texts of Western Civilization — if the schools and universities won't teach the great books, we must form reading groups to study them ourselves.
Every month, we read a new great work. We've covered texts like Augustine's Confessions, Dante's Inferno, The Count of Monte Cristo, Don Quixote.
We're now reading Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics.
We must study the ideas upon which the West was built if we are to preserve it. It takes effort to read these texts, and even more to read them well. Thats what we're doing, slowly, in dialogue with each other.
If you'd like to be part of this, please join our reading group and consider a paid subscription. It makes a HUGE difference to the time and resources we can dedicate to this project. We are entirely funded by our members.
You'll get:
- Live book club discussions (biweekly)
- Access to our incredible community chat
- Essays to guide you through the Great Books
- All past recordings, essays, and podcasts
- Ability to vote on what we read next

At times the designer of La Sagrada Familia, Antoni Gaudí, fasted so hard that the archbishop of Barcelona had to plead with him to stop and eat.

Thomas Massie spent more than a decade representing Americans and his constituents, and had the highest approval rating of anyone in Congress.
The Israel lobby spent $30M to remove him because he wouldn’t bend on protecting American sovereignty.
Think about that. 🤨

I have fought the neocons and warmongers in Washington for more than 25 years. Throughout, they have tried to silence, discredit, slander, and cancel me. Only recently, however, have they tried to deport me.
At least, that appears to have been the aim of a hit piece in Bari Weiss’s The Free Press, which claimed that Marco Rubio’s State Department was “investigating” me for allegedly seeking to “undermine the U.S.”—presumably because of my opposition to war with Iran.
Yet just hours later, the State Department issued a statement to reporters clarifying that “the State Department has no plans to revoke the green card of Mr. Parsi at this time.” Nor did it provide any confirmation for the central premise of the Free Press story—that an investigation of me existed in the first place.
So here’s what I think happened.

Republicans are in charge because we promised:
to Make America Healthy Again.
to start No New Wars,
to put people above corporations,
to put America above foreign countries,
to release the Epstein files,
to not spy on citizens,
to eliminate fraud,
what the hell happened?!

The combative nature of this interview and other Metaxas interviews I have seen tells me that his new book is more about politics than history.
