Hillary Clinton gave the Freedom to Write Lecture at the PEN America World Voices Festival in New York this weekend, and following her speech, she sat down for a conversation with Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

Wanna weep this morning? Well have I got something for you!

Hamilton's Lin-Manuel Miranda always has a buoyant social media presence. Recently he's been the vanguard of calling attention to Puerto Rico (and raising funds), as well as criticizing Trump's response to the mounting humanitarian disaster there.
