@BarackObama I hope you are ‘sitting under your own vine and fig tree, taking a moment alone in the shade’ (and writing (and recording) book 2. Vineyard blessings to Malia and you all.

@lewis_damian Damian, the Rev. Stephen Harding and I, from W 20th, both grieve the death of Helen, and pray that you and your family are enfolded in the love that survives death.

@TheoShantonas What tribe’s Haka is it?

[Storm Swain @StormSwain]

@FLOTUS Your role as First Lady is now to help your husband grieve the loss of his job, and work to imagine a new future. I can see your family being happier in any of these houses than you are in your current residence. Why don’t you take Donald and Barron house shopping?

[Storm Swain @StormSwain]

@FLOTUS Donald might have forgotten how much he like tennis. The court is beautiful on this one:

@FLOTUS This one has an outdoor basketball or tennis court, and looks lovely for entertaining. Nice his and hers decorating.

[Storm Swain @StormSwain]

@FLOTUS I don’t like this one as much but from the outside, it looks like your current home and is close to a golf course for Donald:

[Storm Swain @StormSwain]

@FLOTUS This may be more presidential, already fenced, and offer great pool parties for Barron.

[Storm Swain @StormSwain]

@FLOTUS Or this one which has a basketball court for Barron, and great office space for Donald.

[Storm Swain @StormSwain]

@FLOTUS Or this one:

[Storm Swain @StormSwain]

@FLOTUS This one is light, has beautiful vaulted ceilings, and a ballroom for entertaining. https://t.co/fsOiOgUgJG

[Storm Swain @StormSwain]

@FLOTUS This one feels like a Palace in Western Europe, complete with gold leafing.

[Storm Swain @StormSwain]

@FLOTUS This would be a lovely place to keep your family healthy for the remainder of the school year. This one has its own indoor swimming pool, movie theatre, and sauna. Probably too many bookshelves but lots of amenities.

@SallyHitchiner Love the prayer stools and cushions. Presumably a large portable icon of Christ as focus?

@HillaryClinton @QUBelfast Congratulations, Hillary. We wish you all the best. What wonderful news for QUB and for you.

This is the time to talk about gun violence prevention. This is not a theoretical conversation but one that is accountable to this reality of the 16 year old that has died, and the 14/16 yr olds shot, and the shooter who somehow at 16 had access to a weapon. #saugushighshooting

“With the politics so tight, there’s the “Don’t take my guns,” but now, here, it’s “Don’t take my life!” Ellie, teenage survivor of school shooting at Saugus High School in Santa Clarita, CA.

I commend the New Zealand practice #dontsayhisname #saugushighshooting
