Michelle and I are thinking of everyone across the country braving the winter storms this week. Here’s an overview of how you can help—or, if you’re in Texas, where you can go to stay warm or get support. https://t.co/zDnLrjOZ5i
Encouraged to see power coming back to much of Texas. However, many still without electricity and millions still struggling to get drinking water and food. @TexasTribune has put together a helpful guide on where to get help and how to help across Texas: https://t.co/eUWudHaZQI
Great event! I enjoyed @sherylsandberg ‘s message and nod to Minnesota. Hats off to Teresa Sande for a stellar presentation and Q&A. I bought her book and look forward to learning more on imposter syndrome. TY @Minn_tech and #WLiT
This inaugural celebration is giving me all the feels. After fours years of fear, I feel hope. God bless America. God bless @JoeBiden POTUS and @VP Kamala Harris. #hope#Inauguration2021
Is it mesmerizing to just watch a functional government doing functional government-type things? Or is that just me?
I mean... there was a PRESS CONFERENCE! With a HUMAN! And the human said WORDS! And the words MADE SENSE! And Biden told people to BE NICE! We are blessed.
“We lift our gazes not to what stands between us but what stands before us.”
Oh, @TheAmandaGorman - you and your words are the balm we need right now.
Thank you.
FULL AMANDA GORMAN POEM:
“We will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one ... There is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it.”

Happy Inauguration Day.
May the last four years be a warning and reminder that our democracy is fragile.
Let’s devote ourselves to working these next four years to ensuring we strengthen it.
I love what @VanJones68 said a few moments ago. He said something beautiful is trying to happen. Cites a black preacher and a Jewish kid winning in a former confederate state. Says #CapitolHill was an “overreach”.
More than 100 newspaper editorial boards called on Bill Clinton to resign for lying about an affair with an intern.
Pretty sure every newspaper in America tomorrow morning should be calling on Trump to stand down for what he and his supporters have done today.
NPR guidance: we won’t be calling the people who stormed the Capitol ‘protestors’ - they are ‘pro-Trump extremists’ and what they are doing is ‘insurrection’.
