Special Olympics athletes want one thing above all else: dignity. How about a change, Congresswoman? How about promising to end the use of cruel words that humiliate and cause your fellow Americans pain? Is that too much to ask,

Rosemary Kennedy lived a full life to the age of 86 without ever giving a speech, writing a book, holding a job, or garnering the praise of the mighty. Her presence changed everything.
I shared my reflections on Rosemary with Oprah Winfrey here ▶️ …

This is a great country, but a shameful day. Political leaders are voicing disapproval, but in many cases it’s way too little and much too late. No more contempt. No more mockery of our institutions. No more humiliation of our legal system. No more unbridled ego. No more.
