Our youth need role models. So desperately... they need role models. If we do anything next school year, let it be that we treat others with respect, we don't belittle people for our amusement, and we celebrate our students'/colleagues' differences rather than diminish.

In looking to the future, change can be good.

Thought for the day: Look past the workload. It's never going away, so begin to embrace the value of the work you do & share the positives that come from it w/ a sense of passion, purpose & pride. #Culturize

All across America people chose to get involved, get engaged and stand up. Each of us can make a difference, and all of us ought to try. So go keep changing the world in 2018.

Dr. King was 26 when the Montgomery bus boycott began. He started small, rallying others who believed their efforts mattered, pressing on through challenges and doubts to change our world for the better. A permanent inspiration for the rest of us to keep pushing towards justice.

On Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, past presidents Bill Clinton, Bush, and Barack Obama all did community service to honor him. Donald Trump is playing golf, for the 95th time.

.Donald J. Trump is the first US President to skip having a service event on MLK day since it was made a service day in 1994. #MLKDay2018

I've been much more inspired lately by the children of America than the adults.

Young people have helped lead all our great movements. How inspiring to see it again in so many smart, fearless students standing up for their right to be safe; marching and organizing to remake the world as it should be. We've been waiting for you. And we've got your backs.

Perhaps this should be a pinned tweet: Commerce Sec Ross after I asked if it’s possible POTUS could rescind his tariff proposal: “Whatever his final decision is, is what will happen. What he has said he has said; if he says something different, it’ll be something different”

On Oscar day, we salute future Academy Award contender and proud Hornet alumnus Ryan Coogler, writer/director of the amazing "Black Panther"! #MadeAtSacState

If a student turns something in late, it doesn’t mean the student knows the content less. Similarly, just because a student turned it in on time, doesn’t mean the student knows the content more. Grade learning, not behaviors.

Our most important task as a nation is to make sure all our young people can achieve their dreams. We’ve started this work with My Brother's Keeper Alliance, but there’s so much more all of us have to do—government, private sector, academia & community leaders—to change the odds for our kids. x.com/upshotnyt/stat…

🤥 Donald J. Trump is lying on immigration, lying about crime and lying about the laws of CA. Flying in a dozen Republican politicians to flatter him and praise his reckless policies changes nothing. We, the citizens of the fifth largest economy in the world, are not impressed.
