As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.
In 1984, Nike signed rookie Michael Jordan to a 5-year $2.5 million deal requiring him to meet at least one of four criteria within 3 years to avoid early termination:

• Make the All-Star Game
• Generate $4 million in shoe sales by year 3
Jordan met all criteria in his FIRST year 😳
Rookie of the Year ✅
28.2 points per game ✅
All-Star ✅
$100 million in shoe sales (1984–85) ✅
BOOM! WITNESS THIS. A 9-year-old warrior took the mic and Dismantled Trump's attacks on Black and brown communities, our seniors, & those who served.
More courage, fire, & moral clarity than most grown folks will ever have. Slashing Social Security. Gutting healthcare. Stripping Medicaid & Medicare. Defunding schools. Withholding disaster relief from states that didn't vote for him.
The universe has a strange poetry: when a would-be despot grabs power, a child's voice rises up echoing the spirit of Fannie Lou Hamer, Fred Hampton, Septima Clark, & the freedom fighters before him.
If there's any sermon that should go viral it would be Reverend Kevin Johnson’s of Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem.
“I don't doubt that Nicolas Maduro is a thug, but so is Trump.
I don't doubt that Maduro is a criminal, but so is Trump.
I don't doubt that Maduro rigged the elections, but so did Trump.
I don't doubt that Maduro has tried to silence his critics, but so has Trump.
I don't doubt he has tried to enrich himself, but so has Trump.
I don't doubt he has weaponized the justice system, but so has Donald Trump.
I don't doubt that Maduro has lied to his people, but I want you to know that each and every day he looks in the camera and he lies to us- so has Donald Trump.”
