It’s vulnerable and brave to take a nuanced stance, but it’s also the heart of effective activism and true belonging.

Stay brave, kind, and awkward. #speaktruthtobullshit

Nvidia CEO: Greatness does not come out of intelligence, it comes from character.

Character is not formed out of smart people: it is formed out of people who have suffered.

Here’s the brutal truth about every con: it doesn't end when the lie is exposed. It ends only when the mark walks away. That’s the hardest part-because it requires admitting not just that you were lied to, but that you believed it. What felt like belonging was, in fact, betrayal.

We shouldn’t ask kids what they want to be when they grow up. It encourages them to define themselves in terms of work.

Who we become is not a question of career—it’s a matter of character.

The highest aspiration is to be a person of generosity, integrity, humility, and wisdom.

Trump is deporting people with legal status and no criminal convictions to foreign hellhole’s without due process.

His idiot team is sharing classified attack plans on insecure channels and accidentally including a reporter.

He’s pushing us toward a recession.

He’s threatening to invade allies.

They’re grabbing students off the streets and deporting them for legally protected speech.

He’s attacking every part of our judicial system from judges to law firms.

He’s letting an unaccountable MAGA billionaire illegally dismantle the government.

That same MAGA billionaire is working to buy elections by literally handing out million dollar checks to people.

Republicans are helping him.

We’re losing the things that are great about America—free speech, due process, strong allies, a functional legal system—right in front of our eyes.

America better find its backbone, and soon.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Many people stagnate trying to change what they can't instead of growing by changing what they can.

We don't control how others treat us—we control how we treat them. We don't decide what happens to us—we decide how we respond.

Our reputation is not up to us. Our character is.

I'm absolutely speechless.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks—keeps it simple without being condescending.

“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion. I don’t know a lot of people who think we’d be better off if our lives had more uniformity, inequity, and exclusion.” @PeteButtigieg

Our problem is clear though: too many value uniformity over inclusion, and they’re the ones running the government today.

David Kelly of @JPMorganAM: "The trouble with tariffs, to be succinct, is that they raise prices, slow economic growth, cut profits, increase unemployment, worsen inequality, diminish productivity and increase global tensions. Other than that, they’re fine."

I’ll probably never run for office, but if I ever did—my radical idea would be to pay in-classroom teachers $100,000, lengthen the school year, and treat educators like professionals by hiring/firing on merit.

Good teachers create WAY more economic & societal value than we pay.

.@GovAbbott’s inaction has cost Leander ISD over $34 million dollars this school year.

Teachers and students are suffering — we don’t need a voucher scam — we need a real investment in our public schools.

I have 34 million new reasons to fight Greg Abbot’s voucher scam.
