Beautiful.
Making my 1st film, Roger & Me, I was broke so I wrote to some famous people to ask for help. Only one responded: Ed Asner. “I don’t know you, kid, but here’s 500 bucks” said the note attached to the check. “Sounds like it’ll be a great film. I was an autoworker once.” R.I.P. Ed

“People often see Kentucky as a red state, but I see it as a state with a lot of untapped potential. If only we had more politicians that cared, listened, and did what they could to help.” Mike Preece would! @ForPreece is a high school chemistry teacher & we need him in Congress.

We have as much to learn from his consistency, character and perseverance as from his politics. It’s extraordinary.
Thank you to the more than 2,300 people who joined me tonight in Indiana to talk about the desperate need to invest in the working people of this country. If we stand together, we can build a new future based on justice.

Texas set to pass voter suppression bill despite efforts of Dem legislators to stop it. But those efforts weren't vain; they helped people understand the importance of standing up to voter suppression, what's at stake & what it will take to stop it. theguardian.com/us-news/2021…
