In working for the good of humanity I don't think of myself just as a Tibetan or a Buddhist, but as a human being. We have to think of the whole of humanity. Being human is the common ground in our efforts to create a better world, because we all survive in dependence on others.
In #LeadFromTheOutside, I explore how to be intentional about plans, but flexible enough to adapt. 20 years ago, I never thought I’d be ready to run for POTUS before 2028. But life comes at you fast - as I shared in Q&A w @Yamiche at @sxsw. Now 2020 is definitely on the table...
The House just passed a bill to require background checks on all gun sales in the country. It's the first gun control legislation to pass since 1994. Thank @gabbygiffords, @lucymcbath, @speakerpelosi and so many others for their work on this issue by calling your senators!

When I was younger, thinking about going to college sometimes gave me a pit in my stomach. I came from a working-class family. I was young, black, and female. Of course I doubted myself. But I didn’t let those fears win. #BetterMakeRoom
If you’re with me in this fight, can you sign my petition opposing Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court as Republicans rush through his confirmation hearings this week?
.@SenBooker says he is willing to accept the consequences, if they come, in order to release critical details about Judge Kavanaugh’s policy views to the American people.
WATCH: Senate Republicans are taking “unprecedented” steps to jam through the nomination of Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court – and Senate Democrats are fighting back. #WhatAreTheyHiding
My Democratic colleagues on the Judiciary Committee fought hard today to #StopKavanaugh and keep this charade of a confirmation hearing from proceeding. We’re not done with this fight – now is the time to stand together.
"He has lied to the American people. He has tried to disgrace you and this Office with a sustained propaganda campaign that would make Nixon blush." - Brett Kavanaugh wrote in a memo to Ken Starr #SCOTUS#FatNixon
'That's perhaps how we honor him best, by recognizing that there are some things bigger than party or ambition or money or fame or power.' — Listen to Obama's moving tribute to John McCain
The president is an unindicted co-conspirator in federal crimes and he has nominated someone to the Supreme Court who believes a sitting president should never be indicted.
Retweet if you agree that Kavanaugh’s hearings should be delayed until these investigations are completed.
This was the scene on the House Floor this morning right before @HouseGOP voted to zero out our election security funding, despite clear danger of ongoing Russian interference.
SHAME on them.
Many of us are wondering what we can do this November. Well consider this your official invite to #TheLastWeekend ! VOTE, of course, but make plans now with @swingleft to VOLUNTEER! Let’s not wonder “Could I have done more?” @lilytomlin@iamrashidajones
