As soon as I wake every morning, I remind myself that all human beings are the same as me—we all want to be happy. I resolve to use my life to ensure that other beings are happy. It’s compassion that brings about peace of mind, not anger and hatred.

The people who are nice to you aren’t always being kind to you.
Saying what you want to hear is nice. People sugarcoat feedback to make you feel good today.
Sharing what you need to hear is kind. People speak honestly to help you do better tomorrow.
Candor is an act of care.

"Quiet quitting" isn't laziness. Doing the bare minimum is a common response to bullshit jobs, abusive bosses, and low pay.
When they don't feel cared about, people eventually stop caring.
If you want them to go the extra mile, start with meaningful work, respect, and fair pay.

“Meanwhile, also in Georgia, giving out water to those waiting to cast a ballot is considered illegal voter influence,” said state Sen. @AuforGA. #gapol ajc.com/politics/politics-bl…

Parents who lost children in school shootings find comfort in a group no one wants to join. This video was originally published in 2018 after the Parkland school shooting ti.me/3wPeath

There is no such thing as being “pro-life” while supporting laws that let children be shot in their schools, elders in grocery stores, worshippers in their houses of faith, survivors by abusers, or anyone in a crowded place.
It is an idolatry of violence. And it must end.
Adam J. Walker retweeted
I’m tired of politicians and preachers offering “thoughts and prayers” after every mass shooting while simultaneously refusing to take the necessary actions to end gun violence… this is what it means to take the Lord’s name in vain.

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

It is very telling if your response to 10 people being murdered by an admitted white supremacist [in a country where indigenous people were slaughtered, African/Black people enslaved, and racism and racist propaganda persist] is “What about Black on Black crime?”

I really enjoyed "We are having the wrong conversation about work" from @ajwalker. The bit about asynchronous communication is overlooked way too often. bit.ly/3B1VhVy

Forget your goals, build a system instead. Good article from @ajwalker.

As you honor my father today, please remember and honor my mother, as well.
She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter, which she founded two months after Daddy was assassinated.
Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no #MLKDay. #MLK

Please share this quote from my father through #MLKDay2022:
“I think the tragedy is that we have a Congress with a Senate that has a minority of misguided senators who will use the filibuster to keep the majority of people from even voting.”

Hello, family. Here is a message from me about commemorating #MLKDay, my mother's work to establish a holiday in honor of my father's life and legacy, and #MLKGlobal. Let's educate, advocate and activate. #MLK #CorettaScottKing #ShiftingPriorities

Last year, for the first time in our history, a president who just lost an election tried to prevent the peaceful transfer of power as a violent mob breached the Capitol.
But they failed.
And on this day of remembrance we must make sure that such an attack never happens again.

In less than a year, we went from:
- 1% of Americans Covid vaxxed to 71%
- 46% of schools open to 99%
- 6.3% unemployment to 4.2%
- 50% decline in child poverty
- being embroiled in a never ending war in Afghanistan to bringing our troops home
- declining US economy to booming
