Watched Jane Goodall’s Famous Last Words where she urges us all not to lose hope. Small actions lead to big change. I also liked seeing her drink some whiskey to strengthen her voice.

Met Emo Philips tonight. What a dream come true! He also told me Don Knotts used to live nearby. I am living in the comedy zone.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Some of the problems is people are afraid to use their voice and fight back, but the other problem is people are not being heard. Vote for listeners not just speakers.

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband.

Today they attacked two journalists.

We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

When Pete Townsend asked WHO are you, it rocked the crowd. Everyone jumped to the feet. It's been a long time since I've been to the Hollywood Bowl. Takes a legend. We really hope the Song is NOT over.

I made an eggplant tofu yellow squash dish with ginger, garlic and scallions. DH asks what inspired this delicious creation. I respond my nose and my stomach!

I feel so sad. When I worked for Mayor Dinkins, we worked on keeping David Letterman and Late Nite in NY. We were so happy and now Colbert has been canceled.
