My book and I are on @colbertlateshow tonight. This is my first book (well technically second…you can read all about that in #TenStepsToNanette… if that is your jam). I had no idea what to expect today on “pub day.” You’ve all made it pretty splendid. Thank you and G’Night!

"[Family is] such a fate-deciding, life-altering base of society... I think it should be a choice. That it should be a decision. And I think it's too important to be anything but a protected decision, a protected-by-law choice of when, how + what your family is" -@KerryDonovanCO

@JonathanTurley The death threats made to the nominee goes up when these attacks are levied and you know it and I know it and he knows it, but you can't say it because you are gutless and your grift involves placating the very worst people in this country while pretending to be better than them.

A man on the bus chats up a disinterested woman. His demeanor is friendly. He ignores her continuing lack of engagement.

Few people would instinctively characterize him as rude, despite his persistence.

But a lot would say that she is, for refusing to placate.

Wheelchair users aren’t asking for this. Stop trying to make wheelchairs climb stairs and start putting in ramps. Ramps are universal access. Walking people can use them, rolling people can use them, delivery people love them, parents with children in strollers love them, RAMPS.

In Tennessee, a small predominately Black town is poised to get a huge economic boost from the construction of a big Ford factory. Then the state government gave them an ultimatum: dissolve your town charter, or we will seize control of your finances. https://t.co/ASbvJtxIlj

Marina Ovsyannikova, an editor at a TV channel in Russia, interrupted a live broadcast with a sign that read “NO WAR. Stop the war. Don't believe the propaganda. They're lying to you here.” She has since been detained. This is an act of incredible courage.
