Rest in peace to the great Diane Keaton, fearless and unique, a dream actress indeed. 📷 Norman Seeff, Los Angeles, 1975

Black and white shot of Diane Keaton in a tank top with her hands behind her head. I like this photo for its simplicity; you can feel her personality.

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

78% of Americans support keeping health care tax breaks in place – including 57% of Trump supporters.

Why? Because this isn’t a partisan issue for working families.

Millions of Americans – no matter their party affiliation – don’t want their health care costs to skyrocket.
