My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style -Maya Angelou

The simple act of counting your blessings can be a blessing within itself.

The best decision I ever made was marrying you, @MichelleObama. For 33 years, I’ve admired your strength, grace, and determination — and the fact that you look so good doing it all. Happy anniversary!

This generation is losing its educational inheritance; one swipe, one policy, one anti-intellectual trend at a time.

I’m glad more people are noticing it.

This isn’t just a school problem. It’s a democracy problem. An economy problem. A future problem.

She’s not wrong. We are in a critical thinking crisis

We have entered what I have named a “knowledge recession”

For the first time in modern U.S. history, young people are on track to be less educated than their parents. In literacy, numeracy, civics, and critical thinking. 🧵

We’re literally in a critical thinking crisis.

For too many kids, the foundation was cracked before the pandemic and now we’re watching the whole house collapse.

We’re not just losing knowledge. We’re producing a generation that was never given the chance to build it in the first place.

Love is a lesson plan.

Everyday that bell rings, be ready to teach. That's love and respect. Prepare like you're teaching a king or queen's child... because you are.

The new oligarchy isn’t just about wealth—it’s about controlling what we see, hear, and think.

Zuckerberg owns our connections
Musk owns our discourse
Bezos owns the headlines.
TikTok’s CEO will kiss Trump’s ass

When billionaires own the media, democracy is on borrowed time.

Four plane crashes in one week is unbelievable. May God protect all of us who travel frequently, as well as those planning to travel this week.

BIG NEWS: I’m running for King County Executive!

When my family fled persecution as refugees, King County embraced us, providing us the affordable public housing, quality public schools, and good jobs we needed to rebuild our lives.

Today, the very opportunities that helped me are out of reach for too many people.

I’m running for King County Executive to be a champion for working people and ensure every resident feels safe, has an affordable home, and has the opportunity to succeed.

I hope you’ll be one of my first donors by making a contribution of any amount here: https://t.co/YuyxC5lm08

Jimmy Kimmel on the people who voted for Donald Trump:

“It was a terrible night for everyone who voted against him. And guess what? It was a bad night for everyone who voted for him too. You just don’t realize it yet.”

Two reasons
1. Millennials in the US came of age in the https://t.co/FL2F8vdtWY boom were we first learned to be skeptical of everything we read on the internet

2. We are the last generation of American students to be taught how to read with researched based phonics instruction

[Dr. Mia Brett @QueenMab87]

I gotta admit being a millennial is really confusing right now. I did not expect we would be the best at seeing through disinfo & not getting radicalized

Walz: In Minnesota we respect our neighbors and their personal choices that they make. Even if we wouldn't make the same choice for ourselves, there's a golden rule, mind your own damn business.
