Huge huge congratulations to Hiroyuki Sanada, Anna Sawai, and the entire #ShogunFX team! I loved @shogunfx so much and I’m emotional seeing it sweep the #Emmys. Such beautiful story and representation of Japanese history, culture, and values. おめでとうございます！大感動です！

@contrarianp @Hewlett_Found I didn’t know she had written something for @SSIReview! Thanks for sharing!

Exciting news from @Hewlett_Found!

Super looking forward to learning from and working with Amber Miller, who's "honored by the opportunity to lead this foundation... at this crucial moment when the creativity and flexibility of philanthropy is urgently needed.” 🚀🌠💪

What is a good life?

Let’s rebrand politics as the “Happiness business”- Why won’t we focus on making policies that connect people and create meaningful relationships?

Hey @Manuel_Neuer

My family (& in particular my goalie) are heading to Munich from Texas to watch @FCBayern play this Saturday.

You’re one of his favorite goalkeepers and he’d love to meet you.

Repost and help make this happen!

Learn more about the #Subminimum Wage from this @onefairwage fact sheet. It's a legacy of slavery and source of Economic, Race and Gender Injustice; which worsened to a life and death situation with the pandemic for many tipped workers.

[Sawako Sonoyama Clarin (she/her) @SawakoSono]

There is a wage lower than the minimum wage - the subminimum wage for #tippedworkers is still just $2.13 an hour at the federal level. Grateful to be able to learn from and support @onefairwage last week at this fantastic event!

[One Fair Wage @onefairwage]

A night to remember! 🍽️ Our 'Server for an Hour' event, hosted by @chrissyteigen & featuring celebrity friends, was a huge success.

We're closer to achieving #OneFairWage for all #TippedWorkers, ensuring #FairWages & better livelihoods.

I wanted to share some of my thoughts on today's Supreme Court decision on affirmative action:

[Hewlett Foundation @Hewlett_Found]

The U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling on #affirmativeaction undermines progress toward a nation where all people have the opportunity to thrive. We remain committed to advancing DEIJ and supporting our partners — read our full statement: https://t.co/sMmgi3gPlO

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Today, the Supreme Court rejected the fringe independent state legislature theory that threatened to upend our democracy and dismantle our system of checks and balances.

Read this to learn about how to lead an organized—or organizing—workforce in a more collaborative and trust-building way.

An important read with a clear roadmap by @RoyBahat, @libawr, and Tom Kochan of MIT - in collaboration with @AspenJobQuality

[Roy E. Bahat @roybahat]

Today, we have a magazine piece out in Harvard Business Review, on a big change coming that few leaders are prepared to handle—leading an organized workforce.

This is HBR's first magazine piece about organized labor in... 32 years.

Our Evidence-Informed Policymaking team at the @Hewlett_Found is in the middle of a strategy refresh. As part of this process, we commissioned @DalbergTweet to evaluate our previous strategy and scan the EIP field. There were many key findings we're carrying into the next phase.

Huge congrats and happy 10th anniversary to @roybahat, @AngKMartin & @BloombergBeta Team!
And thanks for sharing your history and evolution!

[Roy E. Bahat @roybahat]

Today starts Bloomberg Beta’s 10th anniversary week. A decade, today, since we announced our fund. And I’ve spent the past weekend with some of my closest friends in the world – family, really – feeling into what’s important.

So, here’s what matters to us:

[Sawako Sonoyama Clarin (she/her) @SawakoSono]

Have you been following the #SCOTUS #affirmativeaction cases? The decisions will likely have broader implications beyond #HigherEd & affect orgs committed to advancing #DEIJ. Philanthropies & Nonprofits - read, share, and prepare for various scenarios and how best we can respond.

[Hewlett Foundation @Hewlett_Found]

Later this summer, SCOTUS is expected to deliver landmark decisions on two affirmative action cases. To better inform ourselves and partners committed to advancing DEIJ on what this could mean, we commissioned a paper from Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP. https://t.co/JVCu5B2LqG

I hate this so much

[Brett Cross @BCross052422]

While tomorrow is the one year mark of the Robb Elementary Massacre in Uvalde, today around 10 P.M. is the last time I saw Uzi, as I told him to go to bed, ruffled his hair and told him I loved him. I didn’t see him on the 24th as I left for work before the kids got up for school
