@LilHulkQ @ABC 🤣

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

Barack: You told me all those years ago that you couldn’t promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life. Of course, you outdid yourself and managed to give me both.

Eight years in the crucible, and not once did you melt from the heat. Not once did you let it harden you. Instead, you used it to reveal your truest essence: your stubborn optimism and unflinching courage, your dazzling brilliance and unpretentious decency, your ferocious work ethic and absolutely unshakable moral fiber.

@PettyLupone Done ✅

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

It means so much to Barack and me to open up the Obama Presidential Center on the South Side of Chicago. This is where I grew up, where Barack got his start, and where we raised our girls. So having a place where kids from our community can see themselves, connect with each other, and channel their hope—there’s nothing more powerful than that.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

South Carolina, where the first shot of the civil war was fired, where 40 percent of those enslaved came through the Charleston port, is today engaged in an ugly recidivism to draw maps that will deny a Black person the chance to serve in Congress.

The stakes could not be higher.

Our political fight is not on a playground, but a moral battleground.

We must stand for Black representation across the South.

[Elaine Luria @ElaineLuria]

The racist comments proudly endorsed today by Jen Kiggans warning House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to ‘Get your cotton-picking hands off of Virginia’ are disgusting and beneath any elected official. I grew up in the South. I know what these racist dog whistles mean.

@BenStiller Salt of the Earth!

[Gary Chambers @GaryChambersJr]

Let the record show that Louisiana had some Black men who spoke truth to power.

Let the record show that Republicans in the Louisiana Senate are not leaders. They are a reflection of some of the worst parts of America, and history will remember them in 4K.

Next week, this committee will vote on Louisiana’s congressional maps. Anything less than two Black seats is theft. They have already begun taking seats of power from us, so we need to begin the work of taking seats from them.

If you agree with me, use your voice. Start showing up. Tell your friends what’s happening. Make it a priority.

This isn’t a drill. We aren’t being alarmist. The shit has hit the fan, and it’s on us now. Click the link in my bio to support Civics for the People. We aren’t just going to talk about it — we’re going to educate, organize, and mobilize the people.

Don’t ever get it twisted: nobody takes anything from you that isn’t valuable.

Share if you care 🦾

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Spent Saturday with President Obama and New York's Cutest — turns out my first name is Mayor and I need to be doing more squats.

Here’s to building a City where families can thrive and every classroom is full of this much joy.

[Antony Blinken @ABlinken]

(1/10) @realDonaldTrump cited me as supporting his attack on Iran and expressing regret we didn’t do it during the Biden Administration. Except I didn’t.

@IAmSophiaNelson @soledadobrien @jkbjournalist Amen 🙏 and she’s a Temple 🦉 grad!!!

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

BREAKING: Former President Barack Obama has endorsed YES on Virginia’s April 21 referendum, calling it a “responsible, temporary step” to protect fair representation as several Republican-led states redraw congressional maps mid-decade to gain an advantage. Early voting begins March 6.

[Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta @malcolmkenyatta]

This a massive scandal.

@LilHulkQ Just outside of Philly

[Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock @SenatorWarnock]

They are seizing ballots.
Raiding homes without warrants.
Gunning Americans down in the street.

Every alarm bell is blaring. The question is: Will we listen?

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future. As we mark 100 years of celebrating Black history, let’s honor the sacrifices of the leaders who came before us, and recommit ourselves to continuing their work.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

The First Amendment is a foundational promise to every American: Each of us has the freedom to speak, to report, and to hold those in power accountable without fear of retribution or retaliation.

Today, Donald Trump and his administration are once again trampling on our rights and our freedoms. Journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort were fulfilling their duty to the American people to report and inform, and they have been arrested for it.

Donald Trump continues to consolidate power and show a flagrant disregard for the rule of law. This arrest is another affront to our rights and freedoms and should alarm and enrage us.

[James E. Clyburn @RepJamesClyburn]

No public official should face violence. 

It is shameful President Trump has minimized the seriousness of this attack and continued his hateful rhetoric toward @Ilhan — we know that political violence is no isolated event. It is incumbent upon all of us to speak out against political violence and unequivocally condemn it at every turn. The safety of the public and the sanctity of our democracy depend on it. 

I commend her courage for continuing her town hall. She is stalwart and undeterred.
