We mourn the loss of Kofi Annan, a relentless champion for peace and a passionate ambassador for Sesame Street and the world’s children.

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

Watching Aretha Franklin perform at the White House, and on so many other occasions, made time stand still. @BarackObama and I are holding Aretha’s family in our hearts right now. She will forever be our Queen of Soul.

I'd much rather live in a world reflecting the values, philanthropy, and yes intelligence of LeBron James and Don Lemon's intelligent commitment to truth and journalism than the divisive peevishness, lies, and narrow self-interest displayed by the President of the United States.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

@WAYoungNats Yeh because your mates cooked the books!

[Jonathan Martin @theboyonthebike]

I used to wonder how "good, Bible-believing" churches could have sat out the civil rights movement. In 2017, I understand it perfectly well.

[Jarrod McKenna @jarrodmckenna]

When jails are the most readily available public housing for the poor, we have a serious problem.
