@stephpalmeri Heartfelt love and gratitude ❤️

There is no justification for acts of violence towards innocent civilians, and words feel insufficient in expressing the weight of my condemnation of the terrorist attacks perpetrated by Hamas last weekend. Over this difficult week, as I've listened to friends and colleagues share their moments of dread, heartbreaking stories of loss, triggering of generational trauma, and their unquestionable anxieties over a surge of anti-Semitic sentiments globally and here in the US, my heart has grown heavier from the gravity of their pain and fear. My conversations and personal reflection have reinforced two important truths: First, the undeniable importance of publicly expressing my personal support and standing in solidarity with the Jewish community. Second, the poignant reminder that many friends and neighbors are profoundly hurting, even when their suffering is hidden behind their stoic facades. I unequivocally condemn the terrorist actions by Hamas and deeply mourn the tragic loss of all innocent lives that have and will result from these acts. I stand with the Jewish community and the people of Israel in these trying times. And I believe genuine empathy allows us to care deeply for one community without diminishing our care for others.

Hey @matt_levine, your (interesting! Funny! Well-written!)* newsletter is one of my favorite daily rituals. Excited to spend 40,000 words with you! *(Yes, I’m befuddled too at how a finance opinion columnist could inspire such legit joy. But such is Matt Levine. Honest.)

@robgo @NextViewVC @stephpalmeri Fantastic, powerful team add! Congrats @NextViewVC @stephpalmeri

@traceydurning @posamentier @MargaretAtwood The constant is YOUNG PEOPLE. Luckily Gen Z is remarkable. I hope they (and all of us) have the energy for the the battle ahead.

Terrifying.

@posamentier @MargaretAtwood Possibly we always were…

@jodij Just saw the first sign in the neighborhood to “defeat Christo-fascism” - feels like we’re living a @MargaretAtwood story right now.

We don’t need #religiousfreedom to justify a woman’s right to mastery and control over her body, however she sees fit. But if the religious right demands that we will live and die on their mountain of religious freedom, I demand that they acknowledge and respect mine. #PPFA 6/6

I found out at the pre-procedure ultrasound that I was about to miscarry anyway. No decision needed, though I’d made mine. #DobbsvJackson 5/6

As we celebrate freedom this Fourth of July, please allow me to share a very personal story with you. 1/6

@Samirkaji Straight-up truth.

Private valuations are often as much about the capital provider’s business model as they are about the underlying business receiving the investment
