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.

, 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.

, I hate to say I told you so but I told you so! Your acceptance speech was so on the money, girl not to speak of touching! Onward and forward…..
I will never open curtains the same way again!
Thank you Norman Lear, Brent Miller and our peerless head writers, Gloria Calderon Kellet and Mike Royce, without whom, literally.
For my beloved and gifted amigo,
@Lin_Manuel
who defines everything bright, joyous and an absolute gift to America from Puerto Rico.
I am privileged to know you, my friend. Happy Birthday!
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.
A loving message to my special co-stars,

In addition to applauding Lin for his wonderful movie version of In The Heights, let me add my appreciation for his sensitivity and resolve to be more inclusive of the Afro-Latino community going forward. See, you CAN teach this old dog new tricks - RITA

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…
