Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

The Empire State Building went pink at exactly 9:25pm for Dolly Parton. Because of course they made it 9 to 5. That’s how you honor an icon. 🩷

This week brought the surreal experience of headlining POLITICO's NJ Playbook, the must-read newsletter that lands in my email every morning. What began as a seemingly minor Facebook fracas has evolved into a free speech case involving the ACLU and one of the most powerful law firms in the state.

the two choices in American politics are "yeah they're not exactly where I am on a lot of issues but there's also lots of overlap of my views" and "they are stabbing me in the balls with knitting needles right now" and too many people say "this is the same"

The Importance of Bearing Witness (and Short Content)
With Sundance days away, the industry's eyes will be on feature films, but short-form content may be the last bulwark against America's descent into totalitarian media control.

Despite the steady drizzle, we were nearly 500 strong as we celebrated our nation's democracy on a very historic corner in Rahway. Flag and signs were brought out on the very spot once visited by our first president, who also declared #NoKings, en route to his inauguration in New York.

For the sake of your long-term health and that of others, please keep in mind that the New York Times has “safewashed” COVID the same way they’ve “sanewashed” Trump. Same outlet, different lies (often lies of omission).

Thank you to everyone who took to the streets for No Kings today. Who said “no” to fascism. To hatred. To bigotry. To policies rooted in division and cruelty. To my fellow disabled people who couldn’t attend in person, please don’t feel guilty. There’s plenty of ways we can help the fight!

'The more I see of him, the more he connects with people. He’s got a great grassroots campaign.'" Another said he would be 'a very interesting person to run against, and harder from some perspectives because he would be less conventional, less predictable.'"

Which Democrat do Republicans fear the most in N.J. governor race? This might surprise you.
Republicans have their own thoughts about the crazy Democratic scrap for governor.

NJ gets its first contested primary election! "In normal times, Democrats wouldn’t have had to make big decisions in primaries for governor because races were usually decided a year before by party bosses who would anoint their favorite and give them the big-time treatment on the June ballots."

10 days out, the race for N.J. governor is still anyone’s game. This is not normal.
It's a mad dash to the finish. Jersey Dems are not used to this.

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible. We have always been here.
