My 94-year-old grandmother has kept a list of every book she ever read since she was 14 years old. Amazing archive of one person’s mind over nearly a century
Last night in DC, on my book tour, I was asked by an audience member to do a spontaneous "60-second rant" - in praise of something.
Off the cuff, I chose young people. Young people who are saving our democracy.
Start the clock...and watch what happened:
as continue to learn more alarming news about the political influence on education and the attacks on anti-racist ideas, I was inspired to be in community last night with leaders committed to defending public education and anti-racism for @AAPolicyForum's #UnderTheBlacklight Live

Let’s call this out for what it really is: a deliberate and carefully orchestrated effort from the far right to attack prominent US scientists in a Stalin-like doctor’s trial. It’s designed to intimidate us and to silence us. I will work as hard as I can to defeat their efforts
I know this is a silly thing to ask, but we're less than 500 followers away from reaching 50k. Will you follow and retweet this? I want to reach more people with info about how we're going to cut child poverty nearly in half and end the influence of corporate money in politics.
Today we honor the memories of the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and the millions of others who were murdered during one of the darkest periods in history. And we recommit ourselves to working towards a society free of hatred and division. #HolocaustRemembranceDay
