"...force begets force, hate begets hate, toughness begets toughness. And it is all a decending spiral, ultimately ending in destruction for all...Somebody must have sense enough & morality enough to cut off the chain of hate & evil in the universe. And you do that by LOVE." https://t.co/se4dmJ5onO

Dr. King was 26 when the Montgomery bus boycott began. He started small, rallying others who believed their efforts mattered, pressing on through challenges and doubts to change our world for the better. A permanent inspiration for the rest of us to keep pushing towards justice.

@kjameshenderson For the record...I giggle out loud to most of your insights. This one is especially ticklish.

Big development on #OpenTextbooksFY19! Senate appropriators heard our call and included $5M for #OER in the Labor-H budget. Now let's make sure Congress keeps it it in the final bill when it comes up later this year. https://t.co/4gMdhZc2LT

@sandburg Hmmm...there are so many. Let's start with an easy one, Messi or Ronaldo?

[Tim Farquer @timfarquer]

I put myself at the top of the list of people who have to author better proposals for #ISTE19 than I did for #ISTE18 . I have to get better at articulating the positive impact #OER has on the overall culture of learning within a classroom. I will. https://t.co/gvgZK9r0J4

[Lisa Petrides, PhD @lpetrides]

Given that the topic of #OER is represented in less than 1% of sessions at #ISTE2018, it's too bad that two of the 1% were scheduled at the same time this afternoon. Particularly given that only about 1 out of 20 people I've spoken to at #ISTE18 have ever heard of #OER #edchat

You have also had a positive impact on kids far south of Chicago my friend. https://t.co/mPQeP76IAV

"I often wonder if one reason why so many children (and adults) end up thinking of fractions as a mysterious morass is that we don’t take the time to disentangle all these ideas." - William McCallum. @IllustrateMath https://t.co/0iPnnRUt9g

Well deserved. Mr. Burdick may not know this, but he still impacts the way I think & the way I view the world. I think his response would be, "Don't pin that on me!" https://t.co/ey5BnaVChV

Today the process begins to bring #NetNeurality to the Senate floor for a vote next week. We need just #OneMoreVote to restore net neutrality. Don’t let this critical issue fall to the wayside.
