Woke up today with the audacity of hope. 🗳️🗳️🗳️
"Let it be told to the future world, that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet and to repulse it."

“Beware of any motto that glorifies the past. It’s code for restoring hierarchy. For example: “Make America great again.”

Thank you, Gloria. RIHP.

A life well lived. RIP Dolly. ❤️
Dolly Parton, who grew up as one of 12 children of an illiterate sharecropper, never forgot her roots when she became a star. Her songs and her philanthropy made her beloved: Her Imagination Library has distributed 300 million books to children. She has died at 80, an amazing woman. RIP, brave Dolly. nytimes.com/2026/08/25/arts/…
Cooper: I've seen governments and dictators rise and fall, people and places torn apart by lies and hate and war. And I've seen people do things and heard them say things that I could never have imagined. I've seen what we humans are capable of when everything else is stripped away. Yes, great acts of barbarism and brutality. But we are also capable of remarkable acts of heroism and kindness. It's a choice, and the choice is up to us
Let's hope 50 years from now, someone standing here or somewhere on the eve of the 300th anniversary of this republic will look back and say of us: they didn’t know if they would make it through but they did.

Thank God these visitors are seeing the real American… beyond the image Trump projects.

The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying.
This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you.
In the US Senate, I’ve got a plan to ban it.

You can remove a flag, as at Stonewall; you can try to ignore history, as in Philadelphia; you can even try to humiliate people, as with racist tweets; but you can't erase people's innate human dignity. It can withstand anything. It is inalienable. nytimes.com/2026/02/10/us/pr…

If Jeff Bezos had any strength of character he would pay someone to take the newspaper he's destroyed off his hands and contribute money to a trust to restore it.

After paying $40M for the Melania movie, Bezos is firing hundreds of Washington Post reporters who tell us actual facts.
All while turning the editorial board into a billionaire-defense operation.
Too often, the billionaires who control our biggest media outlets are selling out our country.

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.
