I am BEYOND excited to see Georgia respond to the hateful, vitriolic political ideology espoused by MAGA & elected @keishabottoms as the FIRST black Governor in Georgia HISTORY! I’d be remiss if I didn’t SHOUT OUT the forerunner, @staceyabrams for paving the way!!!!! The current Governor did some INCREDIBLY shady things in his role as Gubernatorial candidate & Secretary of State!!!!!!
THANK YOU STACEY ABRAMS!!!!!
STACEY & KEISHA ARE HISTORY MAKERS‼️‼️‼️
One voice is a solo that will need a microphone to be amplified while millions of voices is a chorus that can’t be drowned out by deceit, lies, or tricks. It’s time to sing a new song. The greatest trick is to tell you that your vote doesn’t matter. THAT IS A LIE!! Get out and vote!! Every vote counts including yours. Join the choir of demanding change.
Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face.
These results were only possible because outstanding candidates stepped forward in every region of the country — including in areas once considered long shots. They came from different backgrounds and represented a range of political perspectives, but were united by shared values, a belief in public service, and a commitment to putting the people of their districts and states first.
We also owe a debt of gratitude to the thousands of election officials and volunteers from both parties who helped ensure a smooth election and carried out one of the most essential functions of our democracy.
While this administration has another two years in office, our job now is to roll up our sleeves, make changes wherever we have the power to do so, prevent further damage, and lay the groundwork for the future.
In midterm elections seen as a referendum on President Trump, a blue wave swept Congress. Now Democrats control the Hill for the last two years of Trump’s term. https://t.co/tqCNEelMER
My mother left such a deep imprint on my life that time has never lessened her presence.
Her strength, discipline, faith, and commitment to justice continue to guide me in ways both large and small.
I remain grateful for the extraordinary woman I was blessed to call Mother.

Taking matters into your own hands, trying to prove to people who you are, that’s not the way to deal with enemies. You’re letting the hurt, the bitterness reign. The Scripture says, “Sit at My right hand until I make your enemies a footstool.” Sitting means you’re at peace, you’re trusting God to fight your battles, you know He’s going to make it up to you.
They did their part. They carried the weight. They moved this nation forward.
They did their part. They carried the weight. They moved this nation forward.
What we do now will determine whether that progress is protected or undone.
The right to vote was fought for through courage, sacrifice, organizing, and nonviolent action. It was never meant to be taken for granted.
Honor that legacy by participating. Know what is on your ballot. Make a plan. Cast your vote.
Democracy requires more than remembrance. It requires responsibility.

Loving you just keeps getting better and better! Happy anniversary, @BarackObama. Here’s to many, many more years of joy, laughter, and memories to come. 💕
He's the Creator of the universe. The God who placed the stars in space, the God who spoke worlds into existence, the God who parted the Red Sea, the God who brought water out of a rock in the desert, the God who opened prison doors for Paul and Silas. He’s all-powerful and He’s looking for people to display His power through.
Sixty-eight years ago, while signing copies of Stride Toward Freedom in Harlem, Daddy was stabbed in the chest with a letter opener and nearly lost his life.
He survived, and what followed revealed something essential about his commitment to nonviolence. Even after experiencing violence so personally, he refused to allow hatred to determine his response.
Nonviolence was not simply something my father preached. It was a discipline he chose, even when the cost was deeply personal.

𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 Maryland child deserves the opportunity to thrive.
Through the ENOUGH initiative, we’re building pathways to work, wages, and wealth so that every child has the support they need to reach their full potential.
I can’t promise you that God will deliver you from every fire, but I can promise you God will be with you in that fire to sustain you, to protect you, to empower you, to enlarge you, to move you toward your destiny.
Don’t depend on other people to affirm, approve, or validate you. That’s no way to live. That puts your self-worth and mood in their hands. Put it in God’s hands. Go to Him for your value and approval.
🙋🏾What did Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. believe and how did his faith influence his ministry, methodology of nonviolence, and movement work?
With misinformation about Dr. King’s faith running rampant and with persistent efforts to disconnect following Jesus from focus on justice, it’s time to deepen our understanding and widen our faith-influenced work for a more just, humane society.
Stay tuned for updates on where and when you can experience the ‘When Faith Calls’ docuseries.
Coming soon…

It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby — a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist — to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display in the Hope and Change lobby at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.

I wouldn’t be where I am today without the love and support that @MichelleObama has poured into me over the years. Her story — from her South Side roots to the White House and beyond — is a central part of the Obama Presidential Center.
You’ve got power over what’s been trying to overpower you.
Life and death are still in your mouth. So, stop echoing fear and start saying what God said.

Yesterday, I spent time with Keisha Lance Bottoms, the Democratic nominee for governor of Georgia, and I truly believe she represents a turning point for Democrats across the South and for the future of our country. Congratulations, Keisha!
From our days in Tallahassee, you at Florida A&M and me at Florida State, you’ve always been a leader people could believe in. Now Georgia has the opportunity to make history with a leader who has always fought for the people. Let’s go make history!
