Tonight, Norman would have been joining me in urging everyone to VOTE!
And he would have been thrilled to see the special exhibit at the National Comedy Center about defending democracy and civic engagement

One of the easiest, happiest, and most treasured decisions I ever made was to participate in this song with my glorious grandson Noah LaPook as he wrestles to make the right decisions in life. And he will, I know.

After just watching a group of writers and actors on both coasts wish me a happy birthday, I can’t help but think back to my very first WGA strike in 1960. It was a different America then and has me reflecting on all of the Americas I’ve known for 101 years.

My late and beloved friend Ginny Mancini would have been 99 years old today, just two days ahead of my 101st. Happy birthday, Ginny, and please set the table for me! Love you.

In my almost 101 years, while I have served other posts, I have been, at my core, a writer.
A writer who struggled and anguished to put words to paper that would provoke, create conversation, humanize us, help us see each other -- words that would matter. 1/4

The stories we tell, the stories I can now watch on any device, are the stories that connect us, engage us, make us laugh and cry together, and inspire understanding and compassion. That is something to be protected and cherished. 3/4

I stand with writers and with the Writers Guild of America, my union. The industry is stronger when we stand together to protect our collective community. #WGAStrong 4/4

As one of our dearest friends and godmother to our twin daughters, we can’t overstate how much @drmayaangelou, her courage, brilliance, and friendship meant to our family. We bless and treasure every memory of our time together.

I can’t bear to repeat it - - but if you want to learn of a true horse’s ass, take a look at Jim Jordan’s tweet posted on Holocaust Remembrance Day.

My son, Ben Lear, made an impactful film called, THEY CALL US MONSTERS. This young man was a subject in the film and needs our support asap. Please review the petition and make your own decision. I’m choosing to sign it immediately.

As a Jewish WWII combat veteran, I was proud to be a part of this important @NBCNews special with my friend @jacobsoboroff. I am also proud to have done this interview with another friend, our newly minted President of @peoplefor, @SvanteMyrick.

"America has not realized all of its promise, but the promise is nonetheless there. There are enough of us dedicated to that promise that all men are created equal."

I think of the last few days as the beginning of a new year of Thanksgiving. In that context, I think of what brings us all closer together - - sports, music, and laughter. 1/3

We sit at such events with a degree of oneness and empathy that brings us as close to together as we could ever be. Let me dwell on the word empathy. It could be the essence of brotherhood and sisterhood, two words that we toss around too easily. 2/3

Empathy is at the core of feeling for one another, listening heart & mind to one another, caring for one another. I am proud to have a son-in-law, @DrLaPook, who many years ago started @NYUEmpathy at @nyulangone. It & everything IT is about, could not be more needed at this time.
