Picking the right guy to play Obama, that was the challenge, I mean, who is Obama really? We don’t know. We never got his transcripts and they say he’s kinda aloof. So I needed someone who could really dive in and really become Barack Obama and as it turns out, the answer was right in front of me all along: Daniel Day Lewis. He becomes his characters – Hawkeye from ‘The Last of the Mohicans’ and Bill the Butcher from ‘Gangs of New York’ and Abraham Lincoln in, ‘Lincoln’. And you know what? He nailed it.  - Steven Spielberg (x)

And we must be a source of hope to the poor, the sick, the marginalized, the victims of prejudice – not out of mere charity, but because peace in our time requires the constant advance of those principles that our common creed describes: tolerance and opportunity; human dignity and justice.

We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths – that all of us are created equal – is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall; just as it guided all those men and women, sung and unsung, who left footprints along this great Mall, to hear a preacher say that we cannot walk alone; to hear a King proclaim that our individual freedom is inextricably bound to the freedom of every soul on Earth.

motherjones: Hang in there, mid-Atlantic America. (via) I could really use a hug from the president today because I’m stuck in Queens and my apartment in the East Village is still without power/heat/hot water and my dad was supposed to come stay with me this weekend and had to cancel and I only see him like twice a year guys! and I’m almost through the clean clothes I brought to Matt’s and I have to go home tomorrow and throw out the food in the fridge but there are no subways running below 34th St so I’ll either have to walk or cab because the buses are supposed to be insane and then make it back to Queens somehow and THIS SHIT IS REALLY STARTING TO GET TO ME.

What can your administration do in a second term to more actively protect women’s health and reproductive rights in the US?

Yes please! This is my comment and I’d love for it to actually get some traction instead of getting buried.
