There’s a chance for us to be a part of how we get treated by seeing the good in others. @sallykohn quotes Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.. “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that...” #LWTSUMMIT

*I* think the biggest challenge in meeting reqs (@AlisonGopnik) is figuring out how a child learns something specific. They learn faster, b/c their System 1 (Kahneman, D. 2011) is in charge & our System 2 is in the way. #latb49 #Education #ThinkingFastAndSlow

The Majority Leader’s comments fell far short of the ironclad guarantee I needed to support a stopgap spending bill. I refuse to put the lives of nearly 700,000 young people in the hands of someone who has repeatedly gone back on his word.
