There is absolutely no place for political violence in our democracy. Although we don’t yet know exactly what happened, we should all be relieved that former President Trump wasn’t seriously hurt, and use this moment to recommit ourselves to civility and respect in our politics. Michelle and I are wishing him a quick recovery.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

I’m proud to have your support, @BernieSanders.

Bernie’s right—from workers’ rights to women's rights, it’s all on the line in November. We must defeat Donald Trump.

How to give feedback without being a jerk:

1. Be a coach, not a critic. Aim to help, not attack.

2. Don't assert opinion as fact. You're sharing your subjective reaction, not the objective truth.

3. Be honest, not brutal. Be direct in what you say, but kind in how you say it.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Humility isn't a sign of low self-esteem. It's a mark of high self-awareness.

The goal isn't to deny your strengths. It's to see your strengths & shortcomings accurately. The first rule of improvement: recognize room for improvement.

Narcissism feeds ego. Humility fuels growth.

Today from the base of Mt. Everest, I saw for myself the terrible impact of the climate crisis on the Himalayas.

As temperatures rise, glacier melt increases - threatening the lives and livelihoods of entire communities.

#ClimateAction can’t wait.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

“I am who I am” is not a sign of a strong identity. It’s a mark of a closed mind.

A rigid sense of self is a barrier to growth. It makes you a prisoner of your past.

Prior patterns don't have to dictate future decisions. Who you've been shouldn't limit who you become.

📈Closing the #GenderWageGap for Latina women isn't just a goal—it's an economic imperative. When we support equal pay, we strengthen families, communities, and our nation as a whole. Learn more from @IWPResearch: https://t.co/K5aa5kbjQA #LatinaEqualPay #Trabajadoras

The Jacksonville Jaguars want $1 billion in public funding to renovate their football stadium.

What happens if the city refuses to play ball?

The team president threatened to move the franchise away.

This is exactly how the stadium scam works.

I’m excited to share the trailer for Working. In this series, I talk to American workers across various industries – from hospitality and technology to home care – to understand their jobs and hopes for the future. I hope you’ll check it out on @Netflix on May 17.

You're not obligated to maintain a relationship with anyone who treats you poorly.

No mentor, friend, or relative deserves unconditional loyalty. Past help is not an excuse for present harm.

If they're having a negative impact on you, you don’t have to keep them in your life.

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]
