He didn't seek approval of the art world but simply expressed what he saw and felt, trusting the truth of his own perception. You're not a shadow of something you can't attain. You are not second best. You are a unique expression of life itself, carrying gifts that only you bring to the world.

Did you know that Vincent van Gogh sold only one painting during his lifetime ? Critics mocked his style, the public ignored him, and even his own family doubted his talent. Yet he continued to paint according to his own vision, writing to his brother, “I paint as a bird sings.”

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Historians sometimes say that when societies are descending into fascism, it can be hard for the people to notice it in real time. Well, historians of the future: We are noticing.

From Chicago to Portland, James Comey to Letitia James, and so much else—this is no longer America.

"berniesanders: No, Speaker Johnson: The No Kings Rally on 10/18 is not a “hate America” rally.

Quite the contrary.

It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom & aren't going to allow you & President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country"

In America, we don’t have kings – it’s kind of our whole thing. 🚫👑

Millions turned out for No Kings in June— one of the largest protest days in U.S. history. On October 18th, we’ll be even louder, stronger, and we won’t stop here.

RSVP here:

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power…

The scoop: Trump refuses to do anything to reduce health insurance premiums; House Republicans refuse to come back to Washington due to Epstein files; and now they send layoff notices to CDC researchers dealing with burgeoning measles cases?

The Trump administration on Saturday scrambled to rescind layoffs of hundreds of CDC scientists who were mistakenly fired on Friday night in what appeared to be a substantial procedural lapse.

It's been my experience that Talking to Americans (I miss Rick Mercer's show) about how our universal healthcare system works is really frustrating because they refuse to imagine or comprehend it. They've been brainwashed to pay up & accept medical debt when the inevitable claim denials come back.

The Soviets wouldn't had to sacrifice as much if Stalin hadn't allied with Hitler to divide Eastern Europe.

Whilst British forces were fighting Nazis from Day One, Stalin was dividing Poland with them.

I’m not trying to give @pbs.org ideas for raising money—but I am. I would buy women’s fit T-shirts of all my favorite childhood shows. Reading rainbow, 321 contact, square one, zoobiliee zoo. I feel like two generations will run to donate even more money for shirts with Levar Burton on them…

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

When Obama was president the right wing acted like masked government agents were coming to kidnap them and take all their rights away.

Then Republicans get elected and actually do that shit for real.
