There are three things in the world that deserve no mercy: hypocrisy, fraud and tyranny. (Frederick William Robertson)
Sending a social distance hug today!!! Congratulations @joebiden and @kamalaharris for leading this American victory for democracy. I am crying with gratitude for all the people who came out to vote and worked so hard to ensure that America didn’t fall prey to another 4 years of tyranny and division. And personally that my son won’t turn 13 after enduring 8 years of it. For all our children. Now we unite and heal. #GodBlessAmerica
Tearful. Celebratory. Grateful.
“It’s time for boldness. For there is so much to do.” -President Joe Biden
Congratulations @joebiden and @kamalaharris! And God bless America. #inauguration2021
“What do you want to be when you grow up? Kind said the girl.”
RED NOSE DAY IS THURSDAY! And this beautiful shirt designed by @charliemackesy pretty much sums it up. A little kindness can make all the difference in a child’s life. You can get one of these beauties and help elevate children out of poverty at www.rednosedayshop.org.
#RedNoseDay is one of my favorites and I’ve been so moved to see how creative folks have been this year when red noses are a no-no because of the pandemic. A special shout-out to the kids at Grant Elementary in Santa Monica and their awesome teacher Tracy Kooy for making hundreds of masks with red noses to raise money for kids around the world! That’s the spirit!! #RND21
ON THIS DAY Jan 6, 2017. These popped up on my phone today. I was at the White House honoring some of our heroic school counselors with @michelleobama. I remember conversations with people in the White House that day as they prepared to leave after 8 years, with a new administration coming in. Respectful, melancholy, grateful for a productive time in Washington. That was 4 years ago in our nation’s capitol. The stark comparison to today’s events is shocking and devastating. Who we have become as a nation under the tyrannic non-leadership of the current president, culminating in the seditious insurgency led by him today at the Capitol building is a sickening blight on our nation and democracy, from which I have faith we will recover. But I am shaken. In tears. Deeply saddened that this is us. This is US. The U.S. I know we are better than this. I have pictures to prove it. And relationships with people on both sides of the aisle to prove it. And the democratic process of this election saying this is not who we want to be to prove it. As we look at the worst, most unimaginable of ourselves, I am inspired to keep proving that we are in fact better than this. And I look forward to this day, Jan 6, 2025.

Happy International Women’s Day! @therealdebramessing gave me this mug and it represents some of the star women of the year, working during unprecedented times, for all of us, here and around the world. Because by their example, and as a result of their hard work, we all are lifted. Women and men alike. But I like that the faces on the mug aren’t clear. To me that’s a reminder that each of us could be represented there. Each of us can be a leader. Every time we find our own voice and the courage to use it, in the biggest or smallest ways, we are leading and inspiring. We are of course all stronger when women are stronger and respected and honored and allowed to lead. In every nation and every corner of the globe. Today and every day. And also, we all deserve a nice damn cup of tea! #internationalwomensday
My friend @jedidiahjenkins’ book #LikeStreamsToTheOcean came out this week. Jed is that friend who always makes the day more fun, who makes me feel like I’m his favorite and whose playful jibes give me life. But when he told me he was writing a book about life, love, and ego, I had to jibe back. Jed, what do you know about life yet REALLY. You’re a MILLENIAL!
Well it turns out Jed is a philosopher. And one who holds your hand and experiences your deepest self with you as you read and cry and laugh and discover. This book is without question one of the best, most meaningful books I’ve read in a long time. I love you Jed. I’m honored to be your friend and so proud of you. Ok now forget I ever said that.

I wanted to send a huge congrats to the true heroes of yesterday, @raphaelwarnock and @jonossoff. History-making, integrity-filled leaders, both. And a special shout-out to my girl crush, @staceyabrams. These are the leaders we so desperately need. And they represent democracy at its best. This is the way. This is the light. Thanks for all your hard work and for reminding us that America can work for all of us.
July 11 on @HBOMax! Here we go! #TheWhiteLotus
Best way I can think of to spend @glaad #SpiritDay…VOTE!!

#NationalDayofService
Loved grabbing the kids and masks and packing up hygiene kits for @lafamilyhousing, an amazing organization dedicated to transitioning LA’s homeless into permanent housing. #welcomehome
Congratulations Emerald Fennell, Carey Mulligan, and the fab, fab cast and crew of @promisingyoungwoman on today’s @goldenglobes nominations! What a triumph! Was an honor to be a part of this with y’all! #PromisingYoungWoman @focusfeatures
I chose to lend my voice to this spot because, for me, this election is about our most fundamental values. What do you hold most dear? As an American and as a human being. What do you want you to teach your children? What leaders do you hope they are inspired by and emulate? How can good leadership make a difference in what is happening in our world right now? As you contemplate these things for yourself, go vote! iwillvote.com
Let’s watch the #Inauguration2021 all together from home this year so we can continue to fight the pandemic and still mark this extraordinary occasion!

It’s a virtual inauguration concert and we can all join! I’m so excited about this. Let’s celebrate together tomorrow night at the We The People Concert in anticipation of Wednesday’s @BidenInaugural. Time to party down! #Inauguration2021 . Link in my bio!
@ONE is fighting for #COVID19 vaccine access everywhere. I loved lending a voice to #Pandemica and ONE’s great work. Let’s end this thing y’all! #EndThePandemic (Link in bio).
Congratulations to my friend @samanthajpower. Feels good to have integrity and empathy coming back to the White House.
We live beyond the boundaries of what our planet and its people can sustain. Hopelessness is felt by many and it’s time for a new story. A story of hope and action. Through power of innovation and creativity we can accelerate the 17 Sustainable Development Goals — together. I believe small actions matter because many ripples create a tidal wave of change. Today, I took action with Zenanile Dlamini — and you should too. Go visit heart17.com, take action and share your voice. Let’s spark a chain reaction of action for hope! @Heart17_official @undp #WCID #HEART17 #ActionForHope
