To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years.

I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.

A Zimbabwean-American Michelle Netsai Butler has announced a historic run for Justice of the Peace
in Denton County, Texas, United States.
A Justice of the Peace (JP) is a local judge responsible for overseeing minor civil cases, witnessing
and certifying legal documents, administering oaths, officiating marriages, and mediating
community disputes.
JPs play a critical role in making the justice system accessible and fair for all members of the community.
Butler brings extensive experience in civic engagement and electoral politics.
Butler, a seasoned community organiser, says she is proudly Zimbabwean-American and would like to serve her community and contribute to its development.
If elected to public office, Butler would make history as the first Black Zimbabwean-American to achieve that in the US where immigrants are making it big into influential public offices.
Only recently, a Ugandan-American Zohran Mamdani was elected Mayor of New York.
He will officially assume his new role on January 1, 2026.
Son of prominent Ugandan academic Mahmood Mamdani,
Zohran is a Democratic socialist who ran on a platform focused on affordability and will be the city's first Muslim and South Asian mayor, as well as its youngest in over a century.
Butler wants to write her own piece of history.
Already she some experience on community mobilisation. She has worked on multiple presidential campaigns, including Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Elizabeth Warren, focusing on voter access, mail-in ballot campaigns, and protecting the integrity of democracy.
In addition to campaign work, she has engaged in policy advocacy, particularly around voting
rights, election integrity, and equitable access to justice for marginalized communities.
“I am running to ensure that every voice in our community is heard and counted,” Butler said.
“Our courts should be a place where justice is fair, accessible, and reflective of the people they
serve.
My work on presidential campaigns and in policy has taught me the importance of combining community engagement with systemic change, and I am bringing that approach to JP6B.”
Butler’s candidacy marks a milestone for Denton County and serves as an inspiration
for other Zimbabweans abroad who want to contribute to the civic life of their communities.

Kids were also shot today at a school and no one is talking about that. As an educator, my heart breaks for them. I’m praying for those babies and their families and demanding action right now.

Mr Musk, please realize that what Mandela had to settle for as the means to a peaceful resolution of apartheid was NEVER meant to be an end in itself nor it did constitute an acceptance of the continuation of economic apartheid 30 years after its formal denouement. Sadly, your views, and in particular your( and Trump’s) sponsorship of unrepentant white supremacists in South Africa, betray a subscription to a past which is both repugnant and offensive to Africans across their continent and in its diaspora.

@CofSnz @elonmusk What land did whites own in my mama’s land? Zimbabwe was Zimbabwe before the brutal colonisation that turned it into Rhodesia. They came in and slaughtered my people and then started an apartheid system. They simply gave back what they stole brutally.
