#IncarcerationVsEducation In the #US we only spend $10K per student (in #Michigan its only $7-8K) but we have no issue spending $50-100K per prisoner? 🤯 – at Ferndale, MI

🧵Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law today to defund DEI programs at Florida public colleges and to limit how race can be discussed in many courses. This is an example of what my father, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., described as the “white backlash.” #WhiteBacklash #MLK

Dear @SenSchumer After Parkland people told us over and over again, young people just need to vote that’s how you solve this. That’s exactly what we did. Gen Z has been voting at the highest rates in American history every election since 2018 AND last year voted +20 points for Dems. What’s crazy is people like you and many establishment Democrats still don’t think young people vote, that you can just not listen to us and young people will still vote for you. It’s a foolish mistake to take such a critical part of your base for granted. You stand to gain much more by brining an assault weapons ban to a vote over and over even if it doesn’t pass to show young voters and voters of all ages who’s fighting to protect kids and not guns. It’s not 1994 anymore. It’s much more dangerous to be weak on guns than it is to be strong. Plus the “moderate” voter you think will vote for you if you support something like Universal Background Checks but not an Assault Weapons Ban effectively doesn’t exist. 99% of those people are not voting for you already. You know who is though? YOUNG PEOPLE. If you make us lose enthusiasm many young people won’t continue turning out. Show us our vote matters. Show us you are fighting for us. Show the American people who stands in the way and we will vote them out. This summer is on track to be even more deadly than last. We need leadership and courage. Not cowardice and fear of the NRA as our freedom to exist in a safe society is ripped away from us by a lobby that represents anarchy, not responsibility. Bring the assault weapons ban to a vote and if it fails, do it again and again. David Hogg

Senator Warnock, whose kids are on lockdown with an active shooter at large in Atlanta, tells his colleagues gun reform must happen now because, “in the words of Dr King, ‘The time is always right to do what is right,’ and that time is now.” He’s right I hope his kids are safe

My wife has asked that all and anybody in my social media realm please contact TN senators and house reps to express support for SB 745 and HB 883 which would create exceptions to the abortion ban if the life of the mother was at risk or the pregnancy was futile.

The most damaging part of experiencing childhood abuse isn’t just the abuse itself. It’s that we weren’t allowed to stand up for ourselves. To place a boundary and say “no” or “enough.” As children, parents are gods and when they hurt us breaks our spirit.

Replying to @Theholisticpsyc
"Why is it always about childhood?" "Why does everything go back to childhood?" Because it's all about your beliefs. As a kid, you formed your core beliefs about yourself, others, and the world. Those beliefs now control everything. To feel better, we need better beliefs.

If you’re not following or listening to @hubermanlab on YT you’re missing out. Brilliant science for healthy living! 🙌🏼
All aspects of human health are eroded by deviating from healthy circadian behaviors. Conversely, early day sunlight, movement, bright light all day, and minimal light at night and sleep improve all disease outcomes and health metrics in the healthy. It’s non-negotiable.
