Never let your soul be silenced. Live life out loud. Every day tell your truth not with words but with actions from your heart.

If Donald Trump governs the way he campaigned, it'll be a disastrous presidency. This is a chance for him to be magnanimous, humble. To work across the aisle.

Never let your soul be silenced. Live life out loud. Every day tell your truth not with words but with actions from your heart.

This is a profoundly unjust war.
