Learning about different people, histories and experiences in school benefits students. It strengthens empathy and a sense of belonging, increases test scores and graduation rates, and betters mental and physical health, brain development and connections to school and community. 3/4

Believe it or not, all three of these fish are the same species… the bluehead wrasse. Wrasses are protogynous hermaphrodites, meaning they transition from female to male over the course of their lives. Each phase can look radically different from each other as evidenced here #coralcitycamera

Forever reject the trope that Dems lost because we were too “woke.”
Trumpers voted for an incompetent, treasonous con man because THEY were too hateful.

This is such a good devotional for this season - especially this year, as our country seems to be tearing itself apart.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Yes!
Germans who turned a blind eye to Hitler's fascism and atrocities came to be called "Good Germans."
I don't ever want to be known as a "Good American." I want to be known as an American who did good by standing up to fascism and atrocities.

Good news, and reason for hope:
“soaked in animus” a very good phrase
NEWS: A federal judge barred the Trump administration from enforcing a ban on transgender peopel serving in the military, saying it was "soaked in animus," unconstitutional and justified by mischaracterizing data.
