The choice today for the United States is as stark as any faced by any nation that struggles with the fragile, ambitious and essential task of self-governance. If you vote for authoritarianism and oligarchy, you aren't fit to call yourself a citizen of a republic. If you don't vote, same.

Hey White House, please remove the Tropic Thunder clip. We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie.

Shut the fuck up @ksorbs. How fucking dare you respond to me this way you two bit washed up actor. Because I do care about saving lives, I will continue to fight to keep guns out of the hands of those who intend harm. For what it is worth, I support the guardian program in schools. However, as we keep on learning, having armed law enforcement doesn't stop determined shooters. It is assholes like you pushing bullshit like this that cause children like my daughter to become victims of gun violence.
Replying to @fred_guttenberg
I’d you truly cared about protecting innocent lives you’d be advocating for guns in every school, vets standing guard at every door. This is misplaced hate and it is wrong.

“I’m balls to the walls for Walz.” Someone put that on a t-shirt and you’ll make literally $100 billion. Maybe more.

I have lost my life’s work. Last night in NYC, I misplaced my journal from DEATH OF A SALESMAN on Broadway. This distillation of all I have ever experienced on my creative journey culminated in this production. A document of all the defining moments of critical self reflection

Republicans kept wanting to juxtapose the KBJ hearings to the one for alleged attempted rapist Brett Kavanaugh. So let's do that. Because in the space between you'll find the story of racism and misogyny in America. My latest in @thenation thenation.com/article/politi…
