My suspicion is that Matthew McConaughey is actually speaking for a lot more gun owners - certainly responsible gun owners - than the NRA.

None of us like difficulties, but when you understand that without the winter seasons you can’t see greater growth, greater fruit, then you won’t complain. You'll realize that God’s getting you prepared to handle greater weight.

@NIETteach we appreciate working alongside @DexterMurphy in our Co-Instructional work. As you can see below, the work in our @aecc_cubs & @PouncersHes classrooms was contagious and he couldn’t resist jumping in there with our students & did a great job leading the PLC.
Our @aecc_cubs & @PouncersHes co-instructional teams had site visits & PLC time w/ @NIETteach’s @DexterMurphy today. Next up are @ESWildcats & @SHIS_Tomcat. Love seeing @HaywoodSchools’ equity commitment in action. #name #strength #need #youwinwithpeople #allmeanseach

Why is it important to approach equity work systemically?
"If we’re not addressing systems, it feels like we’re doing 'Band-Aid equity.' It is key to examine the parts of the system that don’t serve all students well." @GholdyM #TheLearningPro ow.ly/XKNG50HmIVv

When my nephew was 18, he wanted to spend the entire summer with me and I said ok. One day, out of the blue, he said the most disrespectful thing I’ve ever heard:
“Chris Brown is better than Michael Jackson.”
When my nephew was 18, he spent half of the summer with me.

Your job is not to try and make people like you. Your job is not to try to change people’s minds about you. Your job is to run your race, to be who God has called you to be, and not worry about the critics and the naysayers.

While you’re waiting, you need to take steps to grow, develop your skills, be good to others. What you’re doing while the situation is not changing will determine whether you prosper where you’re planted or whether you just endure it.

"I'm learning to build strong things versus small things. I get to see if adding small things makes this stronger." We are loving seeing the young ladies at @MaynardElem participate in STEMEquity thanks to @DexterMurphy 's PrincipalPreneur grant!

As you honor my father today, please honor my mother, as well. She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter, which she founded less than three months after Daddy died. Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no #MLKDay. #MLKÂ #BelovedCommunity

Here are some of my favorite stories about Martin Luther King Jr. that you won't hear today from people who wanted to paint him as this adorable teddy bear and not the radical that he was.
A thread.

Cancelling a book contract because your actions fueled insurrectionists is not Orwellian.

At the request of the U.S. National Guard, I’m deploying 1,000 members of the NY National Guard to D.C. for up to 2 weeks.
A peaceful transition of power is the cornerstone of our democracy & NY stands ready to help ensure the will of the American people is safely carried out.

History made. Congratulations @ReverendWarnock and Jon @Ossoff on your hard-fought campaigns. Together we can give Americans the relief they deserve and restore America’s moral leadership around the world.

I do not believe these are days for mincing words. I’m 63 1/2 years old & I have never seen anything in these United States of America I found more astonishingly seductive & dangerous to the saints of God than Trumpism. This Christian nationalism is not of God. Move back from it.
