Pearly Young, 77, was killed today in #Buffalo shopping for groceries.
For 25 years she ran a pantry where every Saturday she fed people in Central Park. Every. Saturday.
She loved singing, dancing, & being with family.
She was mother, grandma, & missionary. Gone too soon 🕊
Deeply proud that @Ridley_College is a @MoralCourage school. What, exactly, does that mean? I explain in this 90-second vid…👇🏽(And I’ll soon share the MC theme song that Ridley 4th-graders ... came up with. 🥰)
At the start of the term, Ridley College welcomed @IrshadManji to campus to teach our community how to communicate and develop relationships across divides using the @MoralCourage Method.

After 300+ replies to my q👇🏽, here’s the most consistently pro-life one: “She should have forgiveness… I’ve always been pro-life but I see the need for abortion in some cases & to ... prevent death due to self-abort attempts that kill the mother. Life is precious.” #HappyMothersDay
My mother had an abortion b/c my dad said he’d kill her if she gave birth to another girl. Mum couldn’t bear the thought of leaving her 3 daughters to this “man.” She still begs forgiveness from her dead child. A sincere q for pro-life peeps: Is my mother a criminal? #RoeVWade

It’s #EidUlFitr, the end of the Islamic month of fasting, and I will not be toyed with by the forces of evil.
That said, big thanks to my devlish friend @MicahBergdale for creating this meme. 😇...
#Eid Mubarak to one and all!
There are no words, save for those of awe & gratitude. Oh, here are some other words: She makes me less ashamed of our species.👇🏽
Asya Serpinska (77) kept most of 700 dogs and 100 cats alive — and even rescued a lion — as Russian and Ukrainian forces exchanged shelling overhead, and as Russian forces repeatedly entered her property and threatened her life.

Dear @davematthewsbnd,
Whaddya say to gifting backstage passes to a passionate & devoted educator who’s head-over-heels about your music?👇🏽 She’s taking responsibility for the next ... generation. How ‘bout giving her an evening off to dance & tell you what you mean to her… LMK.✌🏽
We 🧡 recognizing our partner schools. Take @lawrenceacademy in Groton, MA. Raquel Majeski, who's in charge of inclusion, digs our "tools for impact." (She also digs the @davematthewsbnd. Would scoring her backstage passes = impact? 🤔) For now, we're happy to help this way.👇🏽
This is not an endorsement; it’s an observation: Only in France can a popular presidential candidate, delivering his concession speech, invoke Sisyphus and be understood.

Teachers & parents: Let’s heed this gem from soon-to-be #JusticeKetanjiBrownJackson to teach young ppl how to be agile, not fragile.👇🏽
@NAISnetwork @ACEducation @charteralliance ... @LetGrowOrg @JonHaidt
Friday inspo from Ketanji Brown Jackson. Show them!
The only thing better than saying “Justice Brown Jackson” is saying “Ketanji Manji.” Maybe in another lifetime. 😁
For now, I’ll take “Justice KBJ.”
Thank you, @POTUS, Senator ... @lisamurkowski, @SenatorRomney and @SenatorCollins.
And congratulations, America. 🇺🇸
5x per second: That’s how often our brain scans for threat. In a hyperconnected (& hypercritical) world, disagreement feels more dangerous than it usually is. What to do? The @MoralCourage ... team’s neuro-nerd & education director, Allison Gerrard, explains…

Leaving @Ridley_College, an outstanding K-12 independent school near Toronto. Launched a student club called We the Plurals. Members will learn to honor human complexity & to master healthy ... disagreement. An example of emotional maturity from one of our graduates in the US:
Jolexis DeJesus is an alum of @MoralCourage College & a junior @wesleyan_u. Raised by a single mom, she knows the pain of seeing family deported & scrapping her way thru life. That's why this budding artist is working for the "emotional advancement" of all humanity. Example 👇🏽
Students are ready to heal polarization. The real question is: Are their educators ready to help them? At @Ridley_College, one of Canada’s leading K-12 independent schools, the answer is a ... resounding YES. I’m proud to call Ridley a partner of the @MoralCourage network. 🙌🏽
More than 100 students attended the introductory meeting of We the Plurals: a new club guided by @IrshadManji. These students, should they accept their mission, will be taught how to repair the divisions that are tearing our world apart and become influential leaders of change.
