It’s been 3,174 days since I escaped corporate life. I was 44. My children were tiny. Now they're teenagers.

Today I turn 53, and we are infinitely happier here, in our farmhouse by the ocean. No more meetings. No more commute.

If I can escape, you can too (because I'm a dumbass). #Life #Art

The way we bring jobs back to Americans is by investing in ambitious, innovative projects like diversifying our energy sector and national high-speed rail.

We are falling behind China on these things.

We can compete with China AND create good paying jobs.

There is an entire political movement that believes the statement “if you work full-time in America, you should be able to pay your bills and have a savings account with your paycheck” is radical.

We must come to an agreement that it’s not radical to demand that.

Autocrats always try to dismantle universities and other sites of free thought. But the current effort to destroy American institutions is also a reactionary backlash against real progress on racial justice in this country. Backlash only happens when movements are winning the argument.

A lot of songs are sung about the Freedom of Speech being the most fundamental freedom. They write poems about the Second Amendment being the one that undergirds the others.

But it’s really due process that’s the thing. Without due process, most of the other rights don’t really matter.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.
