“One day at a time, and sometimes one hour at a time, love will be enough to see us through, get us back on our feet and dust us off. Love gives us a shot at becoming the person we were born to be.” ~@ANNELAMOTT

Happy 94th birthday, Dolores! When I was a young organizer, reading about @DoloresHuerta’s life and work showed me what was possible. As one of America's great labor and civil rights icons, Dolores has devoted her entire life to advocating for marginalized communities. She knows the power of community organizing, and through the Dolores Huerta Foundation, she continues to train and mentor new activists and organizers. She also came up with a pretty good slogan, “Si, se puede.” Yes, we can.

@ANNELAMOTT loved it. The light is always around. Above the clouds the sun is shining. There's a crack in everything letting the light in.

A child in Texas wrote this with one of my poetry prompts. Her mother recently passed away. It's astonishing to see what children can create if we make a space for them.

@JasonIsbell Carefree Highway also one of my faves. I have been playing a few of his songs on guitar recently. Just drawn to his music past couple of weeks. Great songwriter.

This is the gun we will chop tomorrow night in honor of Dr. King. He was killed 55 years ago on April 4, 1968. We don’t always think of Dr. King as a victim of gun violence, but he was. He was also a gun owner at one point, but decided to get rid of his gun… convinced that we cannot use violence to get rid of violence. “The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate...Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” -MLK

This an image you haven't seen today because mainstream media has been covering Donald Trump's motorcade & plane all day long. These are Nashville students walking out today, sick and tired of the NRA and Republican inaction. The youth WILL save us, once again.

RIP Ronnie Spector. It was an honor to Produce her and encourage her to get back on stage where she remained for the next 45 years. Her record with the E Street Band helped sustain us at a very precarious time (thanks to Steve Popovich). Condolences to her husband and family.
