.@GlennYoungkin is hoping you won't notice that he caved to the Daily Wire and secretly eliminated suicide prevention resources for LGBTQ youth. You should DEFINITELY not retweet this so others know as well. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/…

Two teachers can teach the exact same lesson and get completely different results. The variable? The teachers’ passion and creativity. The power is not in the program. The power is in the magic the teacher brings. #multiplyexcellence

“Today's fast-paced world makes a lot of demands on the human brain. Slowing down can help prevent decision fatigue and ensure that people make better choices. The brain tends to perform better when it has adequate time to rest and recharge.” psychologytoday.com/us/blog/…

Amid the picnics, parades & fireworks, let's spend a minute thinking about what democracy requires from each of us: passionate engagement & thoughtful restraint; the ability to appreciate our common humanity and search for common ground. Not easy today but necessary. Happy 4th!

Exactly. The misconception that affirmative action meant unqualified people have been admitted into college solely because of their race was never true and is quite frankly an ignorant interpretation. Thank you @joyannreid for setting the record straight and sharing your truth!

“Caring comes from the Gothic word Kara, which means “to lament.“ So caring is not what a powerful person gives to a weak one. Caring is a matter of being there… lamenting right along with the one who laments.”
