Carrie Fisher was not only an iconic actress, but also a role model for so many people and someone who inspired me personally to be more open about my own mental health/addiction struggles. I hope she's in a better place, wherever she may be. RIP, Carrie, you magnificent soul.

It would be really nice to start seeing more of the same people who condemn the acts of violence and vandalism coming from the anti-Trump movement to also be against the recent attacks of violence and intimidation targeting women, people of color, LGBTQ people, and other minorities. So far, I haven't heard a peep about it coming from anyone on the right. If you're a conservative and you claim to be against this kind of violence, then you really ought to be against it in all of its forms.

Obama: once out of office, I’m gonna stop being polite and start getting real

Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin has a great new interview with President Obama in Vanity Fair. In the wide-ranging interview, they discuss Abraham Lincoln, Obama’s biggest regrets from his time in office, and how a visit to the pyramids reminded Obama that cable news doesn’t really matter.

But perhaps the most intriguing bit was when, in a brief discussion of Obama’s plans for his post-presidency, Obama hinted that he planned to start speaking out more like an activist than a president.

There are “things,” he told Goodwin, “that in some ways I suspect I’m able to do better out of this office.” He elaborated that because of the “institutional constraints” of the presidency, “there are things I cannot say.”

He went on to essentially say he wanted to use his post-presidential bully pulpit more like an activist than a venerable elder statesman. “There are institutional obligations I have to carry out that are important for a president of the United States to carry out, but may not always align with what I think would move the ball down the field on the issues that I care most deeply about,” he said.

And while vague, this is an intriguing hint that Obama is thinking about being a very different ex-president than we’ve been used to.
