Experts often say the root of homelessness is "a lack of affordable housing," but what does that really mean? Katie Gentry, @MAG homelessness program manager, broke down the issue and how people can help in a Q-&-A for #Housing2025: https://t.co/hOJWeUOEMt

Thank you @SVdP for sharing my story. I am grateful for the support you’ve provided me over the years to now be able to serve in the Arizona Legislature. My commitment is to working every day so that others can have the opportunities I’ve been blessed to experience.

The real source of peace of mind is love and compassion; not the love we feel for those who are close and already affectionate towards us, but an unlimited sense of altruism, a love that can be extended to all beings, including your enemy, which only human beings are capable of.

@missyssim21 Ew. Never understood this or the drive-same-speed-pull-alongside-attempt-to-get-number/flirt tactic. It’s caveman and vulgar. I feel like I’m 2 seconds away from being knocked on the head with a club and dragged off. Bet this never resulted in a healthy, long-term relationship :|

@ThisisSherri @POTUS Also, illegal immigrants are HUMAN BEINGS not "aliens." They're people. Let's focus on a better path to citizenship.

When you have a more compassionate mind and cultivate warmheartedness, the whole atmosphere around you becomes more positive and friendlier.
