The US lecturing us on slavery feels like the UK lecturing us on colonialism, or Iran lecturing us on women's rights, North Korea lecturing on press freedoms, or Israel lecturing us on genocide.

#Socceroos #Australia 🇦🇺 SBS have televised every Fifa World Cup since 1986, including stepping in in 2018 when Optus had the rights but couldn't cope with the demands on their platform. We've had 10 World Cups free to air. Don't let One Nation ruin this by abolishing #SBS

Now this is what a dignified, beautiful Oval Office looks like (as reproduced in the Obama Museum).

Perhaps the coolest thing about this ceiling at Obama Presidential Center is that all of the blue is made up of words from his speeches.🖤

You don`t have to be a Democrat, or black, or even American, to realise how much the world truly misses having a thoroughly decent, honest, caring human being at the helm.

[Gabrielle Giffords @GabbyGiffords]

So much joy and hope today in Chicago!

The Obama Presidential Center is a testament to the belief that ordinary people can do extraordinary things. It was an honor to celebrate this historic moment and the enduring legacy of hope, service, and civic engagement that President @BarackObama and @MichelleObama continue to inspire.

"Being a decent human being is a choice."- Michelle Obama

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

To know Barack and Michelle is to understand: They have always believed that leadership is about leaving something behind that empowers others.

Today's opening of the Obama Presidential Center reflects that vision. It will continue to invest in future generations and encourage people to see themselves as part of something bigger.

Congratulations, my friends. What a remarkable day.

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

Barack and I never did anything alone. Through two national campaigns, eight years in the White House, and in all the years since, we had an incredible team backing us up and pushing us forward.

It was such a joy to be back together with so many of the alumni who’ve supported us over the years. We’ll forever be grateful for their work, and our country is better off thanks to their service. We love you. 💗

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Today in Chicago, @BarackObama and @MichelleObama reminded Americans how we can be our best as a country, just as they did during their eight years in the White House.

It was a great honor to participate in today’s opening for the Obama Presidential Center, whose purpose of empowering people to make positive change is timely and needed.

[Jennifer Hudson @IAMJHUD]

Performing at the opening of the Obama Presidential Center was a moment I will carry with me forever. I’m still processing it all and taking it all in…Being surrounded by all the living former Presidents of the United States while I sang our National Anthem was something I’ll never forget. The Impossible Dream took on new meaning as we celebrated @BarackObama’s legacy of hope and service to our country. And all of this happening where I grew up on the South Side of Chicago…It’s almost too much to put into words. I’m just so proud to have been part of this momentous day and to witness this historic occasion ! Look what God has done !

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Michelle Obama: We simply don't have the luxury or time to be cynical or complacent, to wring our hands in despair, or to wait for someone else to fix the problem. Hope is all we have, because hope is the essential spark that lights the fire of change. But hope is a choice. Whether or not we use our voices to speak up is a choice. Voting is a choice. Being a decent human being is a choice. Believing that we still hold the power to build a country that reflects us all is a choice.

[George W. Bush Presidential Center @TheBushCenter]

For the last 13 years, the Bush Center has proudly carried the flag as the “new kid on the presidential center block.” Today, the @BarackObama Presidential Center takes on that role. On behalf of all of us at the Bush Center, congratulations to the @ObamaFoundation team. Take it from us: once the pomp and circumstance of opening passes, the real fun begins: serving the American people and guests from around the world. We’ll be cheering you on from Dallas!
