My gosh this is utterly wonderful.

When Gene Kelly agreed to do The Muppet Show he had one stipulation: He wouldn’t perform “Singin’ in the Rain” And the Muppets took that as a challenge 😂

One of the great joys of my time serving as Interim President @GeorgeMasonU was getting to know our Mason Dreamers. Such extraordinary young people striving toward better futures for themselves and their families. Thx @JoeBiden and @BarackObama

12 years ago today, President Obama and I announced the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA) to allow our young people to live and work in the only country they’ve called home. I’m committed to providing Dreamers the support they need to succeed.

Today marks the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision in Loving v. Virginia, which struck down state laws banning interracial marriage. Two Virginians from Caroline County — Mildred and Richard Loving — stood up for the freedom of all Americans to marry who they love.

Last night, I was honored to meet Philip Hirschkop, who represented Mildred and Richard Loving in Loving v. Virginia — which led to the overturning of state bans on interracial marriage.

I had a wonderful time conversing about theater, education, and life with Phil Wilkerson for his podcast, "Positive Philter." If you've always been haunted by the eternal question "what is a dramaturg?" that is among the topics covered. Take a listen! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pos…
