What can a great coach teach you about leadership?

NBA legend #BillWalton learned from the best - UCLA coach John Wooden

Walton shares lessons of leadership he learned from Wooden & others during his storied career, principles that transfer off the court too

RIP Bill Walton

@equalityAlec We live in a police state that prioritizes weapons and military against its people over the health and education of its citizens! No surprise here!🙄

THREAD. Last night, the White House quietly sent out a press release notifying reporters that Biden would be seeking $37 billion for, among other things, 100,000 new cops. This is one of the most dangerous developments imaginable.

@JoyceMeetsWorld @ABC7NY With a whole transit police precinct upstairs above this platform…

What did we learn today class?

🗣More police doesn't stop crime, bag checks dont stop crime, a larger budget doesn't stop crime.

#FundFairness Fun fact, ⁦@KathyHochul⁩ gave prosecutors $141B in funding and $0 to public defenders. Why? Guilty pleas have dropped dramatically since NY got rid of the #blindfold in criminal proceedings! #BLM #JusticeForAll #payparity for #publicdefenders

Yikes: NYC DOC is failing to get people in pre-trial detention to 28% of their court dates! The legal purpose of pre-trial jailing is to get people to appear in court. This is wayyyy worse than the rate for people released pre-trial: 9%. In fact… https://t.co/vTtThR550e

[Diana @artemis_nieves]

Let’s be clear: any budget proposal of $141+ million for prosecutors, $0 for public defenders isn’t an imbalance in the “scales of justice”

It’s throwing out the scale & making sure it lands into an erupting volcano

Alex stopped to help save a gunshot victim from bleeding out, he was then given Saint Paul Police Chiefs Award for Valor. He then gave this small speech.

@NRA, countless Law-abiding citizens have been duped out of thousands of dollars, countless hours of their time traveling to NYC for court appearances because of @QueensDAKatz and the @TSA greed & misinformation! It’s a grave injustice @nytimes, @TheDailyShow

[MsDaze @DazeMs]

Why are @QueensDAKatz & @TSA conspiring to take indigent citizens lawfully obtained firearms @QueensEagle? FYI, @NRA Unsuspecting people fly into NYC following @TSA protocols, @QueensDAKatz prosecutes them, makes them forfeit their firearms, pay large fines, & plea 2 violations🤔

[MsDaze @DazeMs]

If @QueensDAKatz and @TSA cared about people’s rights and wanted to do the JUST thing, they would make it clear that @TSA traveling w/ firearms rules don’t apply in NYC, right @NRA?

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but contracting Covid despite being fully vaccinated is no shame. It’s like getting hit by another car while driving…but you were wearing your seat belt and weren’t badly injured. You were smart. You saved your own and others’ lives.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Can someone explain to me why the richest country in the history of the world somehow “can’t afford” national paid family and medical leave but has no problem finding $768,000,000,000 to pour into our defense budget?
