My son revealed what Luz and I did on our wedding night in 1978 β we saw βRunaways" on Broadway! π Liz Swados was extraordinary, and her work clearly left a mark on our whole family. Beautiful tribute, Lin-Manuel. We are not strangers.

The right-wing media machine says immigrants are draining this country dry.
@cato.org (one of America's top conservative think tanks) just proved them wrong.
Immigrants contributed nearly $10.6 trillion more in taxes than they received in benefits over 30 years. Every single year. No exceptions.
Whenever I fly, I scroll thru movie selections and always land on one of Lin-Manuelβs creations. Listening to his scores while I work gives me energy to do more. Today I enjoyed Encanto!
Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show ended with a powerful message: love is stronger than hate. With flags from across the Americas on display, it was a moment of unity we all needed. π΅π·β€οΈ

Como le dije a @cnn.com en Espanol, la histΓ³rica victoria de Bad Bunny como Γlbum del AΓ±o y el triunfo de Buena Vista Social Club como Mejor Γlbum de Teatro Musical son afirmaciones de nuestra cultura, nuestro idioma y nuestro lugar en los Estados Unidos.
As I told @cnn.com, Bad Bunny's historic Grammys win for Album of the Year and Buena Vista Social Club's win for Best Musical Theater Album are affirmations of our culture and language, and our place in the US.

Quest is an incredible community of learners affiliated with The City College of New York - nearly 245 active members proving that curiosity & learning never retire.

4/4 Grateful to @gliamericanhistory.bsky.social, and @rockefellerfdn.bsky.social for making programs like EduHam possible. When our young people see themselves in history, they become the storytellers of our future.
3/4 β° TONIGHT, don't miss @kenlburns.bsky.social 's new documentary THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, premiering on @pbs.org . As Ken said at the event: "For the first time, people became citizens versus subjects." 250 years later, that storyβand the work of active citizenshipβcontinues.
2/4 @hamiltonmusical.bsky.social has made history in so many ways but the Hamilton Education Program is the crown jewel. Over ONE MILLION students have participated in #EduHam diving into primary sources and telling the stories of our Founding Era through their own songs, poems, raps, and scenes.
1/4 What an incredible afternoon @trinitychurchnyc.bsky.social when over 400 NYC public school students joined @lin-manuel.bsky.social and @kenlburns.bsky.social for a master class in American history! Featured were our EduHam students!
2/2 My wife Luz spoke beautifully about the power of storytelling to protect bodily autonomy. Personal stories change hearts and minds β and ultimately, protect rights. Thank you to everyone working to protect reproductive freedom. π
