When Collin started high school four years ago, he had one goal: walk at graduation.
At that time, he had never left his wheelchair.
Thanks to 2 innovative surgeries on his legs in 2019 and years of physical therapy, Collin walked.

Apocalyptic scenes in Harouf, South Lebanon.

Entire families are now buried under the rubble.

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 !
She died in 1995 at only 52 years old, never seeing her son become President of the United States of America. For years people only knew her as Barack Obamas mother. But she was much more than that. She was a scholar, a fighter for dignity and a woman who believed systems-not people-create poverty. Stanley Ann Dunham❤️Barack Obama is her son.
President Obama masterfully negotiated an agreement that prevented Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
Trump tore it up and went to war—only to lose the lives of 13 brave Americans, raise prices at the pump, and sign a failure of a “deal” that costs taxpayers billions.
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?
Dear Former President Barack Obama and Former First Lady Michelle Obama,
I’ve watched you and your children attacked with a ferocity and cruelty that defy any sense of decency and that certainly have no precedent.
I’ve watched your birthplace called into question, your personal faith ridiculed, your patriotism mocked, your gender contested, and your very humanity discounted.
I’ve watched you endure the incessant, bitter venom of those for whom the color of your skin was always going to be a problem.
And through all of it, I’ve watched you be the better humans, always going high despite their sickening depths.
In the face of a sustained, spitting, violent, raw-throated hatred, you’ve never responded in kind.
You never allowed yourselves to be defined by the bigotry of your critics, and you never dehumanized them or let them win by becoming them.
