#Holocaust Survivor who was on the first transport to #Auschwitz, told me a joke the other day. I don't really care that I didn't get it. She's adorable about to turn 100! And the last star in my film, 999: The Forgotten Girls. We will never forget now.

Neo-Nazis targeted a majority-Black town. Locals launched an armed watch.
Residents of Lincoln Heights, Ohio, have organized armed guards after a neo-Nazi march and the spread of Ku Klux Klan leaflets rocked the Cincinnati suburb.

And another great memory - dancing in the wings backstage as she launched into the full version of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" the bongos coming in as she slipped into "Mercy, Mercy..." 10 minutes of bliss.
RIP Great Lady.

#RobertaFlack - I'll never forget visiting Roberta, who opened the door in her leopard skin underwear, "I have nothing to hide!" We played War and ate wings. When I left I touched her neighbor's door, reverently (#YokoOno #JohnLennon) RIP Great Lady.

Vance lied, distorted and cherry picked facts. This is what the Right do. They have no honest story to tell (us white Christian blokes want all the money & power, the way it used to be is not very persuasive) so they lie. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Just posted a critique on ElonMusk's Polling on Twitter & guess what - it didn't post. Thank you @washingtonpost.com for staying on issue of polling. You have to ask the right questions to get accurate answers, unless you don't want the truth!

My first professional performance was @kennedycenter.bsky.social the next day we learned #Reagan had cut funding to the arts and we weren't getting paid. Sound Familiar?

It's a scary time. I wrote my will before starting events this year and I'm not on the front lines. Yet.
Tonight is the last day of quiet I will know for a while since my flamethrowing book about trans experience (“CLEAVAGE”) comes out this week. I am prepared to be yelled at coast to coast and I am IN IT. But cross your fingers for me because I’ve also never been this scared.
