“In order to overcome...demons, you have to be stronger than a demon,” @hernameisBanks explains. “What’s stronger than a demon? A devil. I couldn’t be some kind, sweet, polite person to get over the certain things that I needed to get over." vogue.cm/vx5ortA

Y’all. If you are moved by someone, by someone’s work, by their friendship, anything — TELL THEM. You don’t know how much they might need that ounce of encouragement, to feel noticed, to feel like their efforts are worthwhile.

Y’all. Penalizing student grades for submitting assignments late is not going to teach students to pay their bills on time. Chile. 🥴

The ratio of “time:fitness gain” relative to “time:fitness loss” is sorta bulls**t, tbh. 😐

“Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love.” #MLK

We have to stop confusing kindness with justice.

Family: Being truthful about the state of our nation and world does not = losing hope. Hope sees truth and still believes in better; and is willing to strategize and work for it. That which dismisses or does not seek truth, but says "It will be okay” is naivete, not hope.

Undocumented people getting citizenship doesn't change your life. It changes their life. Pass it on.

No justice for Breonna Taylor means we still #SayHerName Breonna Taylor's life was taken by white supremacy and killer cops, exactly one year ago. Rest in Power. #ProtectBlackWomen

If you’re not working for justice, stop calling for peace. As my father said, “True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.”

Requiring standardized testing is racist and harmful. Requiring it during a global pandemic is abusive. Learn about your legal right to opt out of testing. Resources will be available in multiple languages. Register: waethnicstudies.com/opt-out

It’s really sad that there are people who are outraged about Mr. Potato Head, but not about Mr. George Floyd. How telling that people who don’t support a Justice in Policing Act think their way of life is being threatened because of actions concerning...toys & children’s books.

There are those who say they want unity and peace, but they don’t want justice and equity. That’s fake unity and false peace. “True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.” #MLK

I’m for civility, BUT civility does not = true peace. I believe in kindness, BUT kindness does not = justice. Be careful not to try to substitute civility and kindness for true peace and justice. Or to try to hinder true peace and justice with calls for civility and kindness.

Home Economics was my daughter's happy place at high school. It was a place where she felt nurtured, understood and seen. Today, aged 22, her wee cake business is booming and I couldn't be prouder 💐 it's not always just about English and Maths. It's about so much more ❤ – at Torrance, Scotland

Being “colorblind” is not the solution to racism. See people fully. Love people deeply.
