New York City
Joined May 2011
I taught in West Baltimore. I adore my kids, their parents, and grandparents. They all want the same thing I want for my kids: the chance for their children to have safe, happy and productive lives. Let’s think about the language we use, who it hurts.

From a letter my grandfather wrote in 1997: a point of light was a vision about serving others, one that lit up our country, one I hope our country hasn’t lost.

Hesitant to add anything to such a nothing-story, but agree with @ChelseaClinton whole heartedly. Please don’t click on silly stories and let’s give Malia privacy.
Malia Obama is a private citizen. No part of her life should be anyone’s clickbait.

I will never forget a debate in Arizona, where Sen McCain spent the evening joking with Barbara and me. We were nervous for our dad, he felt it and he was kind. In the cold world of politics, he was a bright light. Prayers to his family.

This is the one of the most beautiful things I have read; @MeghanMcCain your letter about your dad was equally beautiful. Sending prayers and love. Thanks for sharing your wonderful dad with all of us.
Please read my father's farewell letter to the country he loved so much - “Do not despair of our present difficulties but believe always in the promise and greatness of America, because nothing is inevitable here. Americans never quit. We never surrender.” 🇺🇸

I disagree. I’ve spoken with addicts and I do believe it is a disease. One that is hard to curb. I also didn’t exactly compare the two.
@JennaBushHager idiotic remarks on #BenAffleck. Alcohol addiction is NOT a "disease" like brain cancer as u claim! He chooses to drink & needs help making better choices. Most cancers R of unknown origins & not choices victims make, & they have no control. @TODAYshow @klgandhoda.
