FUN FACT: While barely anyone of importance wanted to play for Trump, Bruce Springfield, Stevie Wonder, Eddie Vedder, Bono, Jennifer Hudson, Christina Aguilera, John Legend, and Marc Anthony are among the artists set to perform at the Obama Presidential Center's grand opening.
TWEEPS: Republicans want to slash Social Security.
They want us too distracted by trump's Iran war to recall Mike Johnson got caught on a hot mic admitting it
Can we get 1,000 fast RTs and replies with #HandsOffSocialSecurity?
Please and thank you. 🙏💪
I’m sitting here watching the grand opening of the Obama presidential Center
All the people are happy, there are famous people there. They’re having fun, families are relaxed, democratic lawmakers are there and it’s just a normal, joyful event.
It’s one bright spot in this shit time we’re living in.
In her speech, Michelle Obama reminds Americans of some of Barack Obama’s accomplishments, including his winning a Nobel Peace Prize.
Expect to hear a raging Trump screaming in the White House.
I’m so proud of our great city. I wondered if I’d ever see this. But it’s so much better, bigger and deeper than I imagined it would be.
It’s been the most glorious display of the greatness of NY that I’ve ever seen. 9/11 was unifying. But today we’re unified in happiness.
We are one. And we are happy.
I’ve never seen so much joy in so many people.
And joy is contagious.
And we need it now more than ever.
I hope the happiness of NYC reaches around the country and around the world. #ILoveNYC 🏀🗽🇺🇸🌎
Obama got emotional in a recent interview recalling how he used to read letters from Americans all over the country.
And then I got emotional remembering how presidents used to be able to read.
How the fuck do we have $300 billion to rebuild Iran after we spent $80 billion bombing it, when we don’t “have the money” for pediatric cancer research?
Mamdani: We waited without ever knowing if this day would come, and we waited because we knew deep down in our sick suffering hearts that it would. New York City, this team has done it. The New York Knicks are NBA champions

Who have a lot of opinions
But when you prove em wrong
You don't have to say shit to them
Nah
They don't deserve it.
Thank you"

I love the Obama family so much. They weren't given millions of dollars by a rich father. They did it all. And they raised their two little girls in that WH - and just look at them now. Beautiful, highly educated young women. Awesome
What an AMAZING, beautiful speech by Michelle Obama, listing the challenges President Obama faced, and his incredible achievements.
I can't prove it, but I know when she mentioned "winning a Nobel Peace Prize," Barack and Hillary had a good laugh at envious trump.
I LOVE THIS SPEECH.🙏♥️🙏
What sucks is that life could be so easy. So easy. There are enough resources to end world hunger, homelessness, and poverty. We could slow down and fairly utilize and distribute them. Instead, everyone suffers while 20 men control half the world’s wealth.
