"Author. Dreamweaver. Visionary. Plus actor." If you know what I'm quoting, I probably like you a lot.

What’s happening is that America’s liberal majority is fed up with being told they need to hold the center while the political right moves more and more to the extreme. The status quo is everything getting worse, and they’re over it.

I washed all my sheets and blankies and pillow covers and everything. I recently learned that my Dad makes the bed after my Mom does the wash, and for real, this is enough to make me want to get married to someone. I'm 100000000% serious.

The most glaring double standard in American politics today is that if a Democrat said 1/10th about GOP-leaning areas what this guy says about cities on the daily there'd be a media dogpile so swift and vicious there'd be nothing left of their bones for the hyenas to pick at.

Trump: "You see it in the blue states run by Democrats -- everything is filthy dirty all the time. The cities stink The sidewalks are loaded w/horrible stuff. I don't want to use the term bc my wife hates it. She hates it when I imitate no men in women's sports, when I do the weightlifter."

With the people’s power to effect change on the line, Missouri voters showed up to defend their rights. And in November, when abortion rights are on the ballot, they’ll do it again.

Victory!

Katie Phang on Todd Blanche's meeting with Epstein survivors: "If you can imagine being the victim of this type of horrific child sex abuse, and then in your mind the brass ring is 'Let me sit down with the top cop of our country to be heard,' and to have him be such a dismissive asshole."

Colin is right: We must exercise our power to change the course of history. For his lifetime achievements advocating for racial justice and empowering youth, we are proud to recognize Colin Kaepernick with our new Ralph Ellison Award for Defenders of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.

Reminder: The 2008 primary. Democratic establishment said to pick Hillary Clinton...or else. The people chose Barack Obama. It was ugly, nasty, and vicious. Obama won. What happened? He crushed McCain, turned around and asked Clinton to be his Sec of State, and then beat Romney as well.

On this date in 1936, the Summer Olympics opened in Berlin, and the efforts by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party to demonstrate the superiority of the “Aryan race” were undermined by the success of African American athletes, notably Jesse Owens.

Now this is the kind of trash talk we can get behind. We’re containerizing neighborhoods by taking trash off our sidewalks and allowing mid-size buildings to trade in their wheelie bins for a bigger, better, cleaner alternative: Empire Bins. It’s time to put a lid on it, New York.
