This photo taken 57 years ago today at the March on Washington. I watched in awe at a man who had a dream. Unfortunately today, that dream is still a dream. The march today and this election is just as or more important than it was back in 1963. I too have a dream.

@therealroseanne, you break my heart -- You are a sorry excuse for a human being. How odd that you, as a comedienne, have forgotten then meaning of a "joke" and a personal comment. Your meanness is staggering and will earn you a ticket to a sad, lonely and sorry life.

Brent Miller who thought of it all in the first place. I’m not entirely sure how I’ll manage without the ability to exercise that manic, theatrical side of me that’s been loitering on the edges of my life for years looking for a home.

I’m incredibly disappointed with myself. While making a statement in defense of Lin-Manuel Miranda on the Colbert Show last night, I was clearly dismissive of black lives that matter in our Latin community. It is so easy to forget how celebration for some is lament for others.

Hands down,my favorite moment of the last episode is when Elena’s dad left the party and Elena is left alone on the dance floor and we, the family, join her for the first dance-it filled me with emotion everytime we repeated for the cameras.What a great moment!!#NightBeforeODAAT.

Please watch this clip of Van Jones breaking down with relief on CNN & explains to Anderson Cooper what all this means to a Black man and Black Dad. It will grab at your heart and remind all of us the pain and sadness that lingers in the Black heart.

Wow! So exciting to be a part of this crazy, thrilling exercise. @arianadebose (Anita) is a super choice for the role and is a ferocious dancer in the most wonderful way. Am I envious? Seriously? But an 87 year old…
