I fell in love with Stanford when I was seven. Fourteen years later, I’ve written a book about it — and it’s out today! HOW TO RULE THE WORLD is a story set in Silicon Valley’s training ground, where avarice and power too frequently outmatch good intentions.
We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Jason Collins, the first openly gay NBA player, a founding advisory board member for the @BJK_Foundation, and our dear friend. Jason changed lives through his courage, authenticity, and commitment to helping others feel seen. His legacy extends far beyond basketball. He helped move sports and society forward with strength. We share our heartfelt condolences with his loved ones and all who were impacted by his life and leadership.
Tonight, in our living room, memory became personal. @orenbenyosef and I were honored to host a Zikaron BaSalon gathering in our home, marking Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. We listened to Ida Paluch Kersz, who survived as a child hidden by a Polish family, growing up unaware of her Jewish identity. After the war, she rebuilt her life first in Israel and later in Chicago and, decades later, was reunited with her twin brother after 52 years apart. Her story is one of loss. Of identity. Of resilience. It is a story we now carry with us. At a time of rising antisemitism, remembrance matters more than ever. We remember. And we carry that responsibility with us. 🇮🇱🇺🇸🕯️
And finally, the dynamic duo of @maggieNYT and @jonathanvswan announced today the title and cover of their new book on Trump, "Regime Change," which will be published on June 23. A must-read, to say the least. politics-prose.com/book/978166806… amazon.com/Regime-Change-…
Happy Easter to all who celebrate. Wishing you a season of renewal filled with fresh energy, positivity, and meaningful moments with the people who matter most.
In any case, if the #IranWar is making you curious about the Iraq war, might I suggest some terrific books by former colleagues? @rajivscribe's Imperial Life in the Emerald City. @tomricks1's Fiasco. & the magnificent late Anthony Shadid's Night Draws Near. Strongly recommend.
Congratulations!!! Do deserved
