My thoughts on the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

For more than a month, we’ve known this day was coming—but that doesn’t make it any less devastating. Here are my thoughts from when we first saw the draft ruling: https://t.co/aegHc7AoTm

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Across the country, states have already passed bills restricting choice. If you're looking for ways to respond, @PPFA, @USOWomen, and many other groups have been sounding the alarm on this issue for years—and will continue to be on the front lines of this fight.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.

Here’s my statement with Michelle on the draft Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Michelle and I couldn't be more excited to officially break ground on the Obama Presidential Center on the South Side of Chicago. Tune in live:

Michelle and I had fun surprising some of the hardworking women from the Chicago Women of Trades. We’re grateful for the work they're doing — not only to build the Obama Presidential Center, but also to make it easier for more people to follow their example.

[The Obama Foundation @ObamaFoundation]

Thanks @RobinRoberts for chatting all things Obama Presidential Center on @GMA, and helping @BarackObama surprise members of Chicago Women in Trades before we break ground later today! https://t.co/Qw2UZRDzP9

The pandemic has devastated communities everywhere. But the young leaders in our newest class of @ObamaFoundation Scholars studying at @UChicago and @Columbia give me hope for a better future. Congratulations, Scholars!

[The Obama Foundation @ObamaFoundation]

The Obama Presidential Center will house the newest branch of the @chipublib, including a @YOUmediaChicago Lab that will give teens across the city an opportunity to explore their passions and enhance their skills through music, art, and science.

Like so many of you, Michelle and I were heartbroken to hear about the terrorist attack outside the Kabul airport that killed and wounded so many U.S. service members, as well as Afghan men, women, and children.

Over the weekend, a massive earthquake hit Haiti, claiming thousands of lives and leaving many displaced and injured. In response, we put together a list of local organizations that are assisting with urgent recovery efforts.

Take action for Haiti: https://t.co/4yWCbrhp3E

Happy #LeftHandersDay!

Today, the Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act. Again. This ruling reaffirms what we have long known to be true: the Affordable Care Act is here to stay.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

It’s great to be back in my hometown and even better to spend some time with talented young people in Jackson Park. I’m proud of the Wolfpack for a terrific season, and for their leadership off the field as well. Thanks for letting me give a guest pep talk!

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

George Floyd was murdered one year ago today. Since then, hundreds more Americans have died in encounters with police—parents, sons, daughters, friends taken from us far too soon. But the last year has also given us reasons to hope.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Today, a jury did the right thing. But true justice requires much more. Michelle and I send our prayers to the Floyd family, and we stand with all those who are committed to guaranteeing every American the full measure of justice that George and so many others have been denied.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Michelle and I are thrilled to be one step closer to bringing the Obama Presidential Center to the South Side of Chicago. We hope it will help lift up the South Side and breathe new life into Jackson Park and the surrounding communities.

My family and I are mourning the loss of our beloved grandmother, Sarah Ogwel Onyango Obama, affectionately known to many as “Mama Sarah” but known to us as “Dani” or Granny. We will miss her dearly, but we’ll celebrate with gratitude her long and remarkable life.
