What todays Supreme Court rulings mean for the LGBTQ community and it’s supporters:
Someone walks into your business with a MAGA hat on…no service.
Someone walks in with a gun hanging from their hip…no service.
Someone walks in wearing transphobic merch…no service.
Someone walks in with Jesus loves me on their shirt…no service.
Someone walks in wearing the confederate flag…no service.
It’s time to fight fire with fire. 🔥
Good morning everyone! Today’s over the Atlantic Ocean sunrise is proof that every new day holds the potential for new beginnings and opportunities. Nauset beach, Orleans. #capecod#sunrise#StormHour
Being prepared for a new challenge isn't a matter of qualification. It's a matter of contribution.
Impostor syndrome says "I'm not ready." Growth mindset says "I'll get ready."
The question is not whether you belong. It's how you can make a difference.

Maybe three decades of decreased social studies instructional time (especially at the elementary and middle levels and in urban districts) was a bad idea? Maybe the solution to so-called "learning loss" is actually more time for social studies? https://t.co/TCxTSXgjY6
We are at a critical point in our country’s history. If you do not understand the complexities and promise of our past, you cannot imagine a better future. We either invest in the humanities, including history and civics, or we forfeit our democracy. https://t.co/kMzhDRpj7x
On Friday, we honour the 1 million people who perished in the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda and reflect on the suffering of those who survived.
It serves as a tragic reminder of the need to #StandUp4HumanRights -- always. https://t.co/Fx30c5ohyo #Kwibuka
On Colbert last week I mentioned my 3rd grade teacher, Ms. Mueller, who after reading a poem I wrote, told me I could be a writer when I grew up. I never forgot those words. So what an utter delight when I looked up from the signing table in New Orleans and saw Ms. Mueller there!
I've got library cards in two major U.S. cities.
And you can borrow e-books from them, without even visiting!
Throughout my life, there has never been an equally accessible, affordable treasure.
This essay by 14 reading researchers, incl @nellkduke@DTWillingham@SoniaCabell@SusanBneuman, is SO good.
It'll inspire Aha! moments.
A central takeaway: Science of Reading is far broader than foundational skills – in ways that reinforce found. skills.
