A yelling parent can’t teach a child to be calm.
Never, ever yell at your kids.

A glorious day at the 5-star @ulstl soon to be opened UL Centene Connected Community Outreach campus donated by @Centene. Our additional site will do primary utility assistance for that STL North County region. @MMULSTL is also a CoolDownStlouis.org executive board member.

People can talk badly about you.
They can misrepresent you.
They can lie about you, curse you, or dishonor you.
Or sometimes, people can just be mean.
They can try to tear down what you're building just because that's who they are.
And, you don't have to say anything back.
We usually respond because of our ego.
Not because responding will make anything better.
Most often, the greatest display of strength and character is staying silent and walking away.

Cool Down St. Louis is amazing and does great work helping our neighbors and the most susceptible to heat illness and death in our community!
Our commitment to public service is like no other charity in MO/IL. It was almost 25 years ago we envisioned a summer consortium to help elderly & disabled neighbors avoid heat strokes & deaths. Pls donate at Cooldownstlouis.org or @CommerceBank to buy more A/Cs. TYVM!❤️❤️

I’m grateful to have had the chance to join @WashUChancellor on @STLonAir to discuss #inSTLforSTL! Follow our new account @WashUforSTL for stories about love for our hometown. ❤️
.@WUSTL has a new office in @delmardivine to engage local partners.
In this @STLonAir episode: Wash U's Lisa Weingarth and chancellor Andrew Martin share their vision for ensuring the university isn’t just “in” St. Louis, but “for” it.

Yelling at kids is one of the stupidest, most unproductive things you can do.
When you yell at a kid, you shut off their ability to receive love, to think critically, and to respond rationally.
Yelling makes it impossible for a child to think and act intentionally. So instead, they react out of fear.
The only thing yelling at a kid does is show them what an immature, power hungry, out of control brat you are.

Rick was a straight-shooter and a practical, pragmatic thinker. He was genuinely committed to doing what he could to make the St. Louis region a better place for us all. He will be missed. stltoday.com/news/local/crim…

I was sorry to hear that Susan Carlson had passed. She was a fine State Representative, respected on both sides of the aisle and a tremendous advocate for women’s rights.
RIP

This was a joyous and righteous moment in the arc of Justice.
Another incredible milestone in my life as LGBTQ+ person, and a public servant working with @wcalvert and @MayorSlay to advance LGBTQ+ marriage equality in St. Louis and Missouri. – at St Louis, MO

I had a good meeting today with Sen. @RoyBlunt. I appreciate the work he does for @STLCounty in D.C. – at Clayton, MO

County Executive @DrSamPage, our teams, and I had a productive meeting this afternoon to discuss what we can do to work together on vaccine distribution, criminal justice reform, and efforts to move our entire region forward.
I look forward to working with the County as Mayor.

We’re grateful to @DrSamPage & his admin for their #CARESAct $$$ & #HUD funding. They let us do our thing. Large crowds are harmful that’s why our October Winterizing Utility Forum in Lemay will be virtual this yr. Cooldownstl.org for future details. @SaintLouCo rocks!

A developer has been selected to work with City of Wellston to rehab nearly 200 housing units the federal government was going to tear down before my office intervened. Together, with residents & Wellston Mayor Nate Griffin, this is what happens when we work hard & work together. – at Wellston, MO
