When I changed my FB header to this photo with a beautiful quote from

(h/t

) I was heartened to get likes from people I know to be to my left and to my right.
If this resonates, please โค๏ธ or share.
Between the groovily choreographed Grand Central Station performance, and this adorable subway interview, Iโm starting to get the hype.
Am I too old to join BTS Army?
"There was a senator, after my pancreatic cancer, who announced, with great glee, that I was going to be dead in 6 months," RBG recalled.
"That senator, whose name I have forgotten, is now dead himself,
and I," she added, "am very much alive."
Dolly Parton expresses support for BLM, explains why she took the word Dixie off a Dollywood ride 3 years ago:
"As soon as you realize [something] is a problem, you should fix it. Donโt be a DUMBASS."
Gov Larry Hogan (R-MD) on Trumpโs refusal to concede:
โItโs outrageous.
Itโs an assault on democracy...
Itโs bad for the Republican Party.โ
My Dad, George Cohen, 88, argued 5 Supreme Court cases in the 70s & 80s as a union lawyer.
He now gives talks on the court at his seniors home.
Latest on overturning Roe: โDid these 5 justices have ANY IDEA what they were about to unleash on American society?โ

There is a hugely important story tonight and itโs not Melaniaโs Christmas decorations.
Trumpโs fmr national security adviser H.R. McMaster says what we all can see: Trump is โaiding and abettingโ Putin.
Thought from Jake Tapper 160 years after the Civil War began: โI doubt you can find another country on this earth which has so many monuments to its own traitors.โ
IMPORTANT FASHION ICON BULLETIN: the drop earrings worn by Zoe Kravitz at BAFTA are strikingly similar to a vintage pair frequently worn by RBG.
Youโre welcome.
My wife wasnโt thrilled when I put this Lego Millennium Falcon on our wedding registry. To not seem completely self-indulgent, I told her Iโd wait until we had kids to build it. Today, after 10 patient years, the adventure begins.

If they have to go to with a Tom Petty song at the

The tweet below, while cool, is not even the coolest thing Patagonia announced today.
The coolest thing: leading 500+ companies (Lyft, Walmart, Levis etc) in giving employees time off on Election Day.
#WithLotsaMoneyComesLotsaResponsibility
Patagonia is proud to join the Stop Hate for Profit campaign. We will pull all ads on Facebook and Instagram, effective immediately, through at least the end of July, pending meaningful action from the social media giant.
Just to recap: in a country where 120,000 have died and millions are unemployed due to Covid, impact made worse by Trumpโs ineptitude, the crowd at

applauds wildly because he can DRINK A GLASS OF WATER WITH ONE HAND.
These photos were taken tonight at O'Hare & DFW. Americans jammed together for 4 - 6 hours waiting for baggage claim and customs. A human Petri dish, the
result of our president's latest ill-conceived, thoughtlessly executed policy. America First? God Help Us.
Our documentary RBG airs tonight at 10 pm eastern on CNN.
Watch or re-watch. And let me know your favorite RBG moment.
In a scene from the film pictured below, RBG at her home in DC, with her Granddaughter Clara.
The final episode of
#WhenTheySeeUs
, propelled by an astounding performance from Jharrel Jerome, is one of the most powerful 90 minutes of tv or film I've ever seen.
The fact that Ruth Bader Ginsburg, in NYC for radiation of a tumor on her pancreas, took time out to see Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish (in a smashing outfit, no less) is PEAK RBG.
#BeWellToughLady
Had the honor of interviewing RBG's granddaughter Clara Spera for our documentary.
She is not a liar.
When she says her bubbe's last wish was that there be no justice nominated until a new president is in office, believe her.
A wrongful death lawsuit tied to COVID-19 infections at Tyson Foods' largest pork processing plant accuses the meatpacking giant of ordering employees to report for work while supervisors privately bet money on how many would get infected. via

Gabby Giffords will be awarded a Presidential Medal of Freedom next week.
So deserving.
Look up the word INDOMITABLE and you should see Gabbyโs picture.

"We the people are not as dumb as President Trump thinks we are."
"Will we vote to hold the President accountable or will we serve as his accomplices?"

Dad, 90, and his friend Paul, 93, have been watching sports together for A LOT of years, but this is the first time Iโve seen them watching womenโs hoops.

In a briefing on the biggest global crisis of many of our lifetimes, Trump refers to the State Department as the "Deep State Department." The nation's top infectious disease expert literally hides his head in shame. (breaking the no face touching rule to boot).
CAN NOT WAIT for you to see the short doc we made about Dr. Jill Biden that airs TONIGHT at the
#DemocraticConvention
just before her speech.
She's smart, warm, funny - everything you could want in a First Lady. Please share!
Trump 2017 (inauguration): This American carnage stops right here and stops right now.
Trump 2020 (104,000 dead from Covid; economy collapsed; cities on fire in protest of systemic racism): *Turns off White House lights, hides in bunker*
This whole
Stock Market v Saving Lives
thing is a false dichotomy.
Reducing the magnitude of this massive health care crisis is the BEST thing we can do for the economy.
#NotDying4WallStreet
5 STAGES OF GRIEF, TRUMP:
1) Denial tweeting
2) Anger tweeting
3) Litigation
4) Four Seasons Total Landscaping
5) Being dragged out of the White House by secret service agents who've changed your code name to DumpsterFire.
White House Press Sec Jen Psaki expresses a refreshing change of pace:
โI have a deep respect for the role of a free press in a democratic society.โ โค๏ธ
I'm an American Jew who believes in human rights, the rule of law and pickled herring.
I'm among the 71% of American Jews who voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Ya know who else has been nominated (name submitted by 1 official) for a Nobel Peace Prize?
Mussolini (1935)
Hitler (1939)
Stalin (1945, 48)
They didnโt make the shortlist.
And they CERTAINLY didnโt win.

For goodness sakes cable news analysts, could you PLEASE give some of the credit where it's due for yesterday's brilliant strategizing and lawyering by the House Managers? Yes

A lovely remembrance of RBG from Bryant Johnson, her personal trainer for 21 years:
"What I learned through our interactions & workouts was that all her accomplishments were the result of the work that she did on the inside. The real inner-genius of The Justice was her wisdom."
When I got out of my Lyft just 2 minutes after the peak of the

, I gave her my viewing glasses so she could check it out. When I went back into the app, I was surprised by this image.
Mary Trump on what prompted her to write a damning book about her uncle: โI canโt say there was a last straw because there were SO MANY STRAWS.โ

I just looked up my ballot online and saw it was rejected because of something re my signature. I called and was able to fix it with a series of identity confirming protocols. If you live in a state where you can check on your ballot online please do! I never would have known.
Loved her from the moment I heard Mandinka.
Love her for Nothing Compares.
Love her for a stellar cover of Secret Love.
Love her for speaking out against childhood sexual abuse and condemning a Pope who deserved condemnation.
RIP Sinead O'Connor.
