9 Ways To Demonstrate That You’re A Leader When Your Job Is Individual Contributor https://t.co/YvIeO3n1gN

@ehanford @ShawnaCoppola @ReadOrPrison @npr_ed When those who promote social justice deliberately keep the science of reading out of tchrs’ hands, that is the grossest social *injustice* they can perpetrate. The science of reading in tchrs’ hands is the most powerful tool we have to combat inequality by tching ALL to read.

Tonight, a Tar Heel returns to Jeopardy! Last month, #UNC’s Stephanie Pierson won her first game in the “Jeopardy! High School Reunion Tournament.” Cheer on the Carolina junior tonight when she competes in the semifinals https://t.co/cLe6HKdvPn

Judy Heumann dedicated her life to the fight for civil rights—starting as a young organizer at Camp Jened and later helping lead the disability rights movement. Michelle and I were fortunate to work with Judy over the years, and are thinking of her family and friends.

To adjust is to be complicit.

Let’s not adjust to mass shootings.

Let’s not adjust to institutionalized racism.

Let’s not adjust to voter suppression.

Let’s not adjust to police brutality.

Let’s not adjust to poverty and despair.

Let’s not adjust to any forms of violence.

I was 7 when Trayvon died. Irrevocable damage to my young psyche—now I’m 18 and I still can’t put my hoodie up. You deserved justice.

🧵 11 years ago today, #TrayvonMartin, was killed by George Zimmerman for being Black in the ‘wrong place’ and at the ‘wrong time’. Trayvon, a 17-year-old child, was vilified, criminalized and dehumanized. He was unjustly killed and unfairly labeled as a problem child by those…

Compassion and love are not a luxury; they are essential to our existence. Without a sense of caring, there can be no sense of community. We must learn to work not just for our own self, family, or nation, but for the benefit of all humankind.

Happy Birthday, Trayvon. We miss you. You should be here with us today. #TrayvonMartin

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the principal source of success in life.
